| ![]() Biggest Question in my head at the Moment. Is there any way available to increase Tank range and if anybody has been able to put that so called "power Part" . just wondering what the Guys at bajaj were thinking when they decided to put in that 11 Ltrs tank on a 375 CC bike . I am thinking of putting my money On her But only if i am able to increase the tank range . Being from H P means, The distance between 2 Bunks is atleast 50 K M's . |

![]() ![]() Wondering when my Duke arrives, so far living an isolated (not bothered bugging with the showroom guys) life. Sort of kept the frustration low. Now looking to shop for some good gear in Chennai, possibly spartan pro gear. Can Chennai folks some other shops as well? Thanks in advance. | |

| ![]() Folks, had a couple of questions. Thought I will ask the larger audience. 1:Riding the bike 'by sound', I rarely go beyond 5000-6000 RPM before shifting up. I hear people say the bike rides best after 7000 RPM & anyway the peak power is at 7500. So, the question is, am I riding the bike wrong? 2: Is there any benefit to using Shell Super Unleaded on the bike? Personally, I think not but wanted to ask the experts. More importantly, is there any harm? Thanks for your inputs |

| ![]() @sridhu Unless you are using your wrist on the throttle over 90 deg you will hardly hit 7500rpm. You are riding right. Get used to throttle response and you will srart slowly experimenting with throttle automatically. Once a week in a safe road with as always all your safety equipments enjoy the throttle response at each gear. @4th you may be already over 110 if not 135. And no harm in using shell. I am using everything from every bunk. For last 10 years i have never used shell. Cannot personally justify extra cost be it even 1 rs |

| ![]() Had written to KTM about the price hike and they have confirmed that there is no change in pricing of the 390 as yet. Only the Duke 200's price has increased. @junaid12345678, I suggest you confirm with your dealer again on this as the 390's prices have not increased. Have confirmed the same with my dealer too. |

| ![]() Got a call from KTM Pondicherry informing me that the truck has arrived and my hooligan is in it. I've been asked to come and choose my bike in another hour. Quickly can someone tell me what I should be looking for in the process? *excited* |

Junaid, how many similar bikes like the Duke 390 in terms of outright performance can you name in the same cc category (or less)? Could you list them for us please? Present and past. Worldwide. Not just India. Maybe that would clarify how "normal" the Duke 390 really is? ![]() | |||||

| ![]() Even I am curious to know the difference between "normal" and "abnormal" bike and what is either normal or so abnormal about the Duke?. Please don't get me wrong as I am also an owner of the Duke. I found it a bit special about owning one and still feel good about it. A hype/aura surrounds it, which surrounded the 200 as well. No offense to doc/VW or anyone else. |
