I am actively following most news on this as it seems like an interesting bike at a nice price point, and great competition or alternative to things like CFmoto and Himalayan 450. One interesting but unconfirmed note is that I saw some mention that the Indian version may be 21/17 rather than 21/18. I am not sure if that is accurate or which models it refers to but seems slightly odd except for the fact that Himalayan has this configuration and I believe in India their may be more 17 inch rear tires available not sure how that would affect overall geometry if all other things are the same. Anyways, good to keep an eye on reviews and EU release dates and prices as more people get access to these. In terms of KTM insolvency issues, it seems like regardless of what happens to KTM as a whole Bajaj is likely to keep producing these and marketing them at least for the Asian market. It seems it will likely be quite a successful bike and I like the chances that it will not be discontinued if KTM collapses. Another interesting note is it seems that Hero honda may be releasing a 400cc version of their XPulse later this year. That could also be a great bike and even more economical for touring in India and Nepal. Too bad it seems so difficult or impossible to purchase in India and travel internationally with one of these bikes or a Himalayan.
