    Top speed 220kmph, Full LED headlamp, 169kg weight all this with four of the riding modes. Interested to see how Launch control works. Anti- Wheelie will make us crazy and last, but best will be cornering ABS. Cost justified. Nice review. Very well explained.....

    Looks exciting.. but when you think of spending your hard earned money amd start the comparison with other options, it didn't make the cut. Only a true KTM fan can put money on this thing or the one not looking for practicality at all. A great bike in itself but not better than the competition, especially for that price. Good review AI.

    A fact that most of them not aware is this has been brought down as CKD. Usually engines will be brought as a whole unit and fixed whereas KTM India even knocked the engine into parts and we're assembled in India. At least that should have brought down the cost which did not happen. That is why they gave upto 3 lakhs discount to clear the BS4 stocks. Eventually they sold out within days. Now for 2020 they are contemplating on bringing either the 890 or 790 bs6.
