  Back in the early 2000s the Indian automobile industry saw a shift similar to what we are observing today. The only difference is that right now manufacturers are on a war footing to launch BSVI-compliant products, though back then the race was on to launch four-stroke products to replace the smelly, smoky two-strokes that had ruled the roost towards the end of the last millennium. Bajaj Auto had launched the Pulsar 150 and 180 back then, which were no less than a ray of hope for those who thought the end of the two-stroke era me ant the end of affordable performance motorcycles.

Looks like KTM is brewing something really interesting in its backyard with the 2022 KTM 390 Duke being spotted testing recently. This upcoming motorcycle is a radical departure from the current-generation model in several ways.

The new 390 Duke, as well as the other two motorcycles, look like miniature versions of the KTM 890 Duke. While the trademark insect-like split LED headlamp is retained, the fuel tank extensions that flank it look much sharper. Even the radiator shrouds are new. More importantly, there appears to be a duct only on t...
