2020 KTM 250 Duke BS6: What else can you buy?

KTM has updated the 250 Duke with a full-LED headlamp and priced it at Rs 2.09 lakh (ex-showroom). However, if you are looking for options in a similar price range, there are three other motorcycles to consider. Here is what the list looks like-

KTM RC 200 

Priced at Rs 2 lakh, the KTM RC 200 is the only fully-faired motorcycle in this list. The motorcycle is equipped with an aggressive design fairing that houses a bi-projector headlamp with LED DRLs and a sharp, upswept tail section. Underneath the fairing, the KTM RC 200 sports a 199cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 24.6bhp and 19.2Nm of torque. It comes mated to a six-speed gearbox.

Benelli Imperiale 400  

If you are looking for a modern-retro motorcycle around the price of the KTM 250 Duke, there is the Benelli Imperiale 400 at Rs 1.99 lakh. It is the biggest competitor to the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and sports loads of chrome that amplify its retro charm. Powering the Imperiale 400 is a 374cc, air-cooled engine that churns out 20.7bhp of power and 29Nm of torque. The motor is paired to a five-speed transmission.

Mahindra Mojo 300  

The Mahindra Mojo 300 has a starting price of Rs 1.99 lakh. It goes up to Rs 2.11 lakh, depending on the colour option. While the motorcycle was recently updated, it only got new paint schemes and a revised BS6-compliant engine. This 295cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine produces 25.35bhp and 25.6Nm and is mated to a six-speed gearbox.  All prices ex-showroom, Mumbai
