KTM 200 Duke and Next Generation Pulsars to hit India by year end..!! And no, this one is not just another wild, baseless and speculative blog post..!!
Engine parts of the new Pulsars will be shared with the KTM engine..!!
There are numerous blogs/sites which claim that KTM 125 Duke is India bound.. or that a twin cylinder, 250 cc Pulsar will be launched soon.
God knows from where these guys get these wild ideas (as there is never any accompanying proof), but all of them invariably try to sound as if its the "Exclusive Official News" that they have got.
I have always tried to shy away from making wild speculations on my blog without any proof / official announcement / link etc. along with the post.
As previoulsy posted by me (only after I had official proof from the KTM 125 Duke Fanpage), India is indeed set to get a 200 cc, KTM 200 Duke and not the 125 Duke which is basically a model meant for European markets.
With the KTM 200 and bigger than 300 cc models, looks like the Honda CBR250R is set to get a real torrid time..!!
Need proof? Mr. Rajiv Bajaj (MD Bajaj Auto) has said this himself. No, not to me silly.. but to Business Standard Motoring (BS Motoring).
BSM has carried an exclusive interview of Mr. Bajaj on their latest Feb 2011 issue..!! To hot things up, the interview also carries a little bit of info of the new Generation of Pulsar bikes..!!
The following is a snapshot of what has been revealed about the KTM 200 Duke and the new Pulsars in Feb 2011 issue of BSM magazine..
