Sure, you are expected to pay a slight premium over the previous asking price, but in spite of this, the 650cc twins remain one of the most value-for-money motorcycles in the market. In fact, it’s still Rs 790 cheaper than the 390 Duke which makes it even more worthwhile. You get a parallel-twin motorcycle, with the quintessential retro charm for the price for a single, what more could you ask for? A 650cc cruiser? Well, the Chennai-based bike maker will soon have that on offer as well. Read more about it here.
