actually i wanted a white one, but when it was first launched, all they have is yellow

i prebooked mine in dec 2011, way before it was officially launched.

until todei kawasaki msia never bring in the white one  sad.gif

yours is the later model than 2011 model? without the so called "mini horns" on the headlamp right? front signal indicators not attached to fairing?
white or black looks better, but white to stand out a bit, not shouting. just nice. i agree with your color preference.

mine's the current gen 2012 model

first time i see somebody mentioned mini horns...  hmm.gif

yup, it has the mini horns. not integrated to the fairing - that's one of the reason why my repair cost was quite affordable. the original fairing only cost rm 100+
*
oh, what i meant with the mini horns were the headlamp. the model before your had a headlamp with sort of like 2 devillish horns at the headlamp itself.
i get what model yours is now.

Well after 2 months patiently waiting, at long last i got my hands on the yamaha yzf r25. Been riding it for almost a day. Got to say it handles rather well and i love the blue silver. Cant wait to spend more time with it!

nice bro....how much did you get it for?

Not too many duke riders here? Perfect everyday bike albeit the look. It's either you hate it or you love it.

Been riding 5k km on it and the torque, I would say quite OK for beginners. Abs helps as well.

Duke 690?

Care to make more elaborations? I don't have a problem with d390. biggrin.gif
But maybe, I'm a newbie ans that's why.
*
i have not rode a duke 390 before, so my comments may not be useful. but both duke 200 and 390 share the same chassis. i find it redundant. worse, there is now a duke 250. with all the split from the cbu and ckd companies, the end customers are the ones suffering. ckd part claims are a ridiculously tedious process in terms of the approved bike shops.

the duke 690 now, look at how many are selling. not sure why, but maybe its not that appealing. compare those to the pre 2012 model, the current ones look really funny while the old one still stand out. resale value is still firm.

Yeah. Wonder what is KTM doing by introducing so many models and most of them are so near each other. Maybe they wanna be like the people's motorcycle whereby can cover every income earner, from all rider aspects...LOL...
*
i think it's all done in the ckd models. stupid marketing strategy i would say.
they aspire to be like samsung? slight difference in spec, new product?

Indeed yeah. The released 250 is certainly making the previous owners crazy. Pricing wise, the 690 faces many fierce competition and the look, it is an either you love it or hate it one. So, yeah.

Which bike are you using now?

Agree with you...not a good strategy..its like killing their own market. I remember when the duke 200 came out....so full of hype and promise..became so popular....then came the 390, now the 250... LOL
*
the worst thing is that, the first batch without abs came at about 20k selling price. i think about a year later, the abs model was introduced. then the model without abs got a price slash to about 17k otr. all the buyers of the first batch rage. resale value dropped like mad.

now wanna let go also susah. really regret buying ktm. my advice is go for the higher cc like duke 690. pre 2012 model, the one that looks like hooligan unleashed on the road not the new duke 690 which is ckd too now.

otherwise, just go for er6n like the one lucifah has. ada betul ka bro?

used er6n has good prices nowadays. cheap and easy to maintain

but if you can't live with the inline-4 engine, then the er6 is not for you. even with the best exhaust, a twin cylinder will always be a twin cylinder. they sound like mesin jahit. hahah
*
i think it depends on individual. personally, i dont fancy the inline 4 sound. too smooth haha.
twin cylinder sound is great, or single provided the cc must be at least a 600 to get that louder sound.

Guys, just wondering. What is the maintenance like for owning a Dukahati?
I mean, what would it cost for every service, rubbers, desmodromic valve maintenance, etc. Anyone can share their experiences? Thanks.
