KTM 250 Duke vs Suzuki Gixxer 250

Small body but power is cool and this bike design is wow and suspension is very smooth. The best part of bike is quick shifter, bike is very cool. look at the tyre size / front and back tyre size is so good. Long trip ke liya sabse best bike hai or comfort to kya he hai front tyre ka size sabse cool lga or back tyre ka size to sabse behtar hai or seat cowl wow long ride mai hip mai no pain and best part of head light wow aggressive look like a beast. Duke 390 is the beast, small body but power is incredible looks so good, mileage is best, segment for this model 2026 40 to 45 per litre and best part of bike installed quick shifter and seat cowl is best and very comfortable.

Duke 250 design is what got me flabbergasted. value for money is great. Good looking bike with mischievous intent if you twist the throttle, manageable maintenance cost, best in class features like ride bidirectional quick shifter, TFT display, phone connectivity, best braking in segment. You can flick the bike with great reflex, you'll get a good average if you keep it between 60-80 at 6k -8k RPM, I'm getting around 35 kmpl and if i rev it upto 10k I'll be getting 24-26 kmpl average. My Only concerns are the headlight projection is not that good but adjustable, and the seat is stiff, not for long travel and comfort but to dominate. If your looking for a bike with stealth and road presence this is the bike, I had shortlisted duke 390 also but at last i got 250 because it's more practical with good power delivery and decent milage and look wise both are around same except for features.
