Fresh news from the Indian orange camp, as the release date for the much-anticipated 390 Duke machine was made public: the new middleweight Duke will be officially revealed on June 25, our Indian source Faisal tells us.
It's been 8 months since the start of all the rumors and suppositions started, but the wait is now over: in a fortnight we get to see the first 390 Duke available for purchase, first in India, and very soon in other countries.

There are countless riders who have drooled over the specs of the 390 Duke, as it seems like this bike will be a smashing hit, thanks to its smaller dimensions mated to the might of the 373cc singe engine.

With a peak power of 43 HP and 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) of torque, the 390 Duke is rumored to do 0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds. And what's even more glorious is the price: Bajaj and KTM are rumored to prepare a very aggressive sales campaign, which might extend to the other markets, much to our delight. The rumored on-road price in Mumbai, India is 2.25 lakhs, and this means $3,835 or €2,890, ABS included. This is serious business, really!
