KTM Bikes

The Ktm 200 Duke is a very beautiful bike. Bike riding is very important in my life and Duke 200 is color orange golden and Black. Duke riders are very hard riders. I like the Duke ktm 200, its bike is very fast running for road

1. I purchased in August 2018 and it was difficult to find Orange but White was readily available. 2. I buy it for highway riding only to free from the shackles of rail and airlines. 3. Gen 2/Bharat IV was the first Indian launch which was launched world wide with same features and looks. Unlike before, KTM decided not to create disparity between Indian users and users across world especially Europe. 4. It needs genuine parts which are only available at service centre. Regular service irrespective of KMs run make the bike readily available for highway use. It needs maintenance of chain lube/clean and oil spray on electrical during winter. Pros: - Excellent power to weight ration. - All the Bajaj Dominar parts are inter changeable i.e. from nut to piston head - Same as international model launched. - Highest number of service centres compared to Kawasaki, Triumph, BMW, Ducati, Honda Premium segment, Suzuki Premium Segment, Indian, Harley. - Tyre options available from Ceat to Michelin. - Can go non stop 6000km or 800KM/Day. - It can go without starting radiator for 800km if highway air keep on falling on engine. - An option for users who need more than utility bike but cannot afford 600cc cateogry. Cons - Not at all for city use which is widely misinformed among users. - City air is insufficient and thus, start radiator at once decreasing mileage and gulping petrol. - Only available to those retailers which sell Dominar parts ie. 400cc category. - Not for beginners. - Service cost is more than utility bikes but less than 600cc category. - Chain needs cleaning and lubing at every 400-600km, depending upon the road cleanliness. - Out of bound for local mechanic. - One part failure can make you strand anywhere.

We bought my Duke 250 2024 from the Kharadi Showroom. The sales guy named Pratik over there was the sole reason we bought the bike over Apache. He gave the smoothest and well-maintained delivery experience throughout. Absolutely stunning delivery experience and a well-spoken humble guy. The riding experience is good. The bike feels willing to push all the way up to the red line. Once at 8,000 RPM, the bike gets a surge of performance and feels incredibly fast for a 250cc bike. Performance delivery is very linear in the beginning gears, and violent once at the red line. There are observable vibrations in lower gears and speeds. Might fatigue a few people. The riding poster though straight, the bent knees start to cramp your leg up on longer commutes. Pillion seat though more comfortable than before, still leaves the passenger fatigued on longer rides. Not recommended for road trips with a pillion. The quick shifter on my unit seems a bit clunky but snaps into gear lunging the bike forward, hence don’t use it much. But when it works, it works superbly. Braking never felt better. It has stopping power for days. Can go from 80 to 0 quickly at a very stable rate. 4 days in, already did like 220 KM on it. It isn’t even run-in yet, but I already touched 120+ speeds for fun. A lot of harsh bumper-to-bumper traffic riding too. The bike in its run-in period for the first 30 KM gave only 20-21 KM/Lit. Fast forward as the engine is now opening up, it is giving 28. By 300 or so, I expect the mileage to go up to 30-32 in the city easily. Highways in my area are always busy, hence didn’t get proper highway mileage in yet. The bike is a sports bike, hence, comfort and ease of ride are out of the question, but it still performs way better than a lot of its competitors in the daily commuting category. The bike is a stand-out. Always looks menacing and sharp. Got a man asking the bike's price just seconds after I took it outside after delivery. Yes, people do call you chapri when they get to know it's KTM, but if they don’t know the bike is from KTM, they look at it with aww. 10 minutes into the ride, my friend who said I made a mistake by buying this bike, changed his opinion and now rides it more than I do. Performance as previously is very good for a 250cc BS6 compliant single cylinder motor. Didn’t yet have a service, but from what I am told it will cost me no labor charges, but they will charge me for oil, oil filter and coolant change separately. Basically, they will change these items for free for the first service, but will charge me for the products they will change. This I found ridiculous, as the bike already costs ₹2,85,000 where I live. I expected them to make this first service fully free for that. The bike is a very good offering from KTM for beginners in 250cc category, though the price is very steep. It will last you well enough for short commutes and slightly longer runs. Burst of performance is addictive. Overall, the ride comfort isn’t great, but for a sports bike, very doable. I will recommend this bike only to people who want sheer performance at the cost of a little bit of mileage and comfort. Bring a Bajaj partnership product, the service and maintenance shouldn’t be a hassle either. Great bike for a selective group of enthusiasts only.

Good performance bike amazing bike I am a proud owner of KTM Duke 125. I am writing this answer after riding the bike for 6 months (4000kms). I took this bike on a Bengaluru-Ooty trip with and maximum speed of 123kmph and enjoyed a mileage of 40kmpl. Superbike performance to any other racing bike. It's a good bike

One of the best 200cc bikes I have ever ridden, after asking one of my friends for the ride it was an excellent experience. Powerful engine plus excellent looks which attracts people. But if ktm provides a quick shifter in it, it would be great. the only con I faced in this bike seating portion but is better than the previous version.
