                • Pros
                • Cons
                • KTM 250 Duke

                  • The new 250 cc engine offers more power and punchy acceleration to enjoy those long rides on weekends.
                  • An affordable street fighter that comes with Supermoto ABS, Quickshifter+, slipper clutch, 5" TFT display and much more.
                  • Excellent handling, ride by wire and cornering ABS ensures you have a smooth and safe ride, every time.
                  • The aggressive styling, sharp features and edgy design on this KTM 250 makes it one of the most appealing street naked bikes.

                  Honda CB350 H'ness

                  • Loaded with features like all-LED lighting, traction control, and a modern semi-digital instrument console
                  • Brilliantly refined engine and the lightest clutch action in the segment
                  • The Highness looks gorgeous with the retro styling
                  • Brakes offer good bite and stopping power
                • KTM 250 Duke

                  • The lack of good low-end torque can make it quite frustrating to ride in city traffic.
                  • The maintenance and running cost (high fuel consumption) of the Duke 250 can seem a bit steep compared to other naked street fighters in this category.
                  • Some riders report that the seat cushioning is too hard while the taller riders dislike the ergonomics.

                  Honda CB350 H'ness

                  • Pricing could have been better
                  • Big Wing dealership network is restricted to big cities only
                  • Riding at lower speeds in higher gears is difficult and requires frequent gear changes

                  Duke 250 review
                  Amazing bike and very beginner friendly. Duke 250 GEN 3 is one of the most amazing beginner bikes to learn how to ride on. It comes with dual ABS and good features that really sold it for me. I had this bike for 2 years now and I can vouch on the handling, servicing and mileage aspects is one of the best.

                  Best 250CC street fighter for the price
                  KTM Duke 250. I recently bought and I am loving it so far. Its aggressive looks turns heads every time. In city, it feels great and on highway, it gives you confidence. Mileage, breaks and performance is great. Other than this, build quality feels premium. Switch gear is solid and TFT Display is amazing. Also it has quick shifter.

                  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.

                  Genuine review Duke 250 after 7 months
                  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.

                  Refined engine, comfortable ergonomics, strong brakes and easy maintenance. It offers good performance and enough features for daily rides and long trips. Very refined engine by Honda, great value for money. Very comfortable with strong torque and a good exhaust note. Reliable, smooth and enjoyable for both city rides and highways. Honda is so good that the weight of the bike is 190kg but it feels like a light weight vehicle. Yes. It offers great handling, balance and comfort. Despite its weight, it feels easy to ride in traffic and inspires confidence. Great braking and great performance and also it gives confidence to overtake other slow bike.

                  i love h'ness 🫠
                  Honda H'ness is: Better than Royal Enfield for long term reliability easier to maintain more refined for ageing rider comfort. This is honestly a very smart lifetime bike choice. DLX Pro black excellent choice by the way. Looks timeless won't look outdated after 10-15 years easy to maintain colour. The best bike money can buy.
