Not crazy high... Probably very popular with modders and retro builders..

If KTM can ask 220 - 240 on the 200 it starts to look quite fair..

Kick only a bit of a drawback these days, but part of the bikes charm. Curious if they have magiced a way to put a carbed bike through Euro III spec emissions or if theres a revamped FI model to be sold ??

Noted its claimed to be FI now which solves one part of the puzzle..

In India very normal to hand-start an Enfield, especially if the lady-rider wears a sari or other clothes that make a kick start difficult.
