                  Mileage problem
                  The bike is worth the price and offers good value for money. However the mileage is lower than I expected. The overall performance is satisfactory for daily use but better fuel efficiency would make it a more economical choice.

                  Superb Bike - Value for Money + Speed enthusiast
                  This bike has stylish look and a lean person on this bike looks good, this should be first choice for speed and power enthusiast. This is my choice because of the torque of this bike provides the light weight helps to find a better place in crowded lanes. The ride has been smooth and comfy and when i take the bike on road, it feels safer even on the long route on a ride of hundred kilometers continuous the back posture was comfortable, Even if we take this on the uneasy space this should be the best option due to its weight. yes, as i own this bike i will recommend this to the person who will be looking to purchase this in future, this bike has everything a new should have, if you love riding the bike, if you own a bike right now then should be the best upgrade you will give after riding this hulk.

                  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.
