The Duke 390 is expected to sell for Rs. 2,00,000 in India: that's $3,671 or €2,745, but it's hard to believe that KTM will have such prices for the bikes going international. While the ABS will be standard for the bike sold outside India, Bajaj claims that ABS will be available for the local machines, as well, no words on optional or standard lists.

Duke 390 will be powered by a 373,2cc injected engine expected to deliver 44 PS at 9,500 rpm and 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) at 7,250 rpm. With such a power rating and give the build similar to the Duke 200 we might be looking at an extremely cool bike for urban riders. And with the announced 6-speed gearbox, we might also see these new KTM blazing along the highways, too.
