looks good, but I think the tank is a bit small imo

[haoKR]

whats with the head man

[keyxblade]

the head light looks ugly

[donhxw]

 

The tail and pillion seat seems incorporated,

the headlight not that nice but the integrated day-time running lights are kinda cool

rise of 2a bikers again ..

[ahpuila1]

Good option. A thumper!

[Kman]

Isnt 43 bhp little for 400cc sportsbike??? Or am I missing something.

[CoolieND]

Yes, this stat: Dry Weight - 147kg

 

It's a 4t thumper (the same as the 390 Duke's?), so don't expect the power of the old I-4 or 2t pocket rocket, but again, it's lighter than those were.

u should look into power/weight(pw) ratio.

ktm rc 390 pw ratio, 43hp/154kg(wet) = 0.2792.

cb400 super four pw ratio, 52hp/198kg(wet) = 0.2626.

cbr400r(twin) pw ratio, 46hp/194kg(wet) = 0.2371

applies to all, the advantage one have to out gun the other.

When launching? So long alrdy!

Regarding PWR, absolute numbers like that only factor in machine weight. On lightweights like bikes, we have to be practical.

 

For comparison purposes, throw on an average Asian Male clocking in at 70kG.

 

ktm rc 390 pw ratio, 43hp/[154kg(wet)+70] = 0.2792. [0.1920]

cb400 super four pw ratio, 52hp/[198kg(wet)+70] = 0.2626. [0.1940]

cbr400r(twin) pw ratio, 46hp/[194kg(wet)+70] = 0.2371 [0.1742]

 

At which point, the S4 would appear more capable of lugging weight around.

 

Of course aerodynamics would play a part if we're splitting hairs with those numbers.

 

That being said, you'll have to consider torque more if you're using it mainly for street riding and the Revs at which tractable torque begins to develop.

IMO, its all the torque that i can play with in sg..

 

KTM 390 top speed 175(actual speeding) which u dont even reach in sg.

launching very soon!

[voyagerv1]

Heard that it will reach Singapore in Oct...

[driftbaker]

Any pre launch special price? Hehe

Released in India on 9 September 2014.

Looks like a winner. I am keen to get it if the local agent dont priced it too high.

[hansolo]

Dirtwheel bring in already?

[niwlen]

Dun see any on the road yet..

[remy92]

its not that great
