Are you looking to buy a performance oriented naked motorcycle? Well, this might be perhaps the best time to put your money down and head to the nearest KTM showroom. That's because KTM is offering massive discounts on the 790 Duke in a bid to sell off the last few remaining BS4 units. Any BS4 vehicle will not be allowed to get registered after April 1, 2020. The KTM 790 Duke was launched in India in September 2019 at a price of Rs. 8.64 lakh (ex-showroom). Some dealers in Delhi NCR are selling the KTM 790 Duke with an on-road price of Rs. 7.3 lakh, where the ex-showroom price works out to be Rs. 5.99 lakh. That is a straight discount of over Rs. 2.6 lakh. KTM dealers in Bengaluru are selling the 790 Duke at an on-road price of Rs. 7.73 lakh, which is a drop of almost Rs. 3 lakh from the earlier on-road price of Rs. 10.71 lakh. KTM dealerships in Goa are offering a similar discount of Rs. 2.5 lakh to Rs. 3 lakh on the 790 Duke.

KTM had imported about 100 units of the KTM 790 Duke at the time of the launch and the launch prices were deemed to be a high, especially by KTM owners who were looking to upgrade from the KTM 390 Duke. But now, it is a great opportunity to own a genuinely good motorcycle at truly affordable rates. But be warned, there are a very few units left, so if you really want to get your hands on a 790 Duke, now would be a good time to make a trip to the dealership. There is no exact timeline on the launch of the BS6 KTM 790 Duke but we believe it will be launched before the first half of 2020.

The 790 Duke also gets multiple riding modes along with a bunch of electronic nannies on the 790 Duke. There are four riding modes, which are street, rain, track and sport. Variables like power delivery, throttle response and traction control have different settings in different shoot. Also, the track mode is completely customisable with a 9-step slip adjustable traction control and throttle response selection. There is anti-wheelie control and launch control on offer too.
