The US houses the world’s biggest market as far as high-end super bikes ( >990cc) are concerned. And now that the cars have become more expensive, people have shifted their focus to bikes, and here’s where the India-made Duke 390 targets the US consumers offering them efficient style wrapped in an affordable package. The super bike shall be released in Europe in mid-2013, followed by India, and later by 2014 it shall be released in US. Except conceptualizing, which was done in Austria, everything else including the design and other developments were carried out in India.
