An Adventure version of the 390 could be pretty nice, given that KTM has dealer representation in quite a few markets.
If you look at Indian pricing of the Duke, could be made very affordable...

Excellent news if it's true, and why shouldn't it be? It makes huge sense for KTM to maximize their investment in their Indian production facility, the existing small Duke range offers a platform to start from and the Indian market is huge and growing. If you're a young professional in the sub-continent then a KTM adventure bike has got to be very attractive and given prevailing road conditions it makes huge sense for a smaller engine than anything in KTM's current range.
Every Indian I've ever met seems to be sports mad, motorsports included, so a range of small capacity Dakar-esque bikes would no doubt sell like hot cakes.
Can't wait.

The "Duke 200" cost around 5000 Euro in Europa i think, in Ecuador
6500 dollar.
They cost about 2000 Euro in India.
I hope that a 200 or 390 will come soon to South America,but why so
much difference in price?
Are the small cc motorbikes they the milk cow of KTM?

I've seen one magazine article predicting a strong grey market in the UK given the price differential...
I compared the price of the Royal Enfield Bullet in India versus here: around $8000 locally compared to not much over $2000 in India. Supposedly the export versions have better components, but still...

That is really crazy so much difference!!
Offcouse the shipping company a midleman and a dealer al want some $$
but i find it a litle hard to pay over 3 times the price of the reall cost.
 And i am not a person that sits on his money,i enjoy spending
but there is a limit.
