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.

is segment mai sabse badiya bike hai mileage is good
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.

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.

Great bike
Overall the bike is great for both city and highway rides as I stand 6.2 ft at 88 kg and it quite nimble as well as the weight distribution is very good with great torque and power figures. It’s a comfortable bike but the rear suspension is a bit stiff which can easily be resolved by replacing it with the classic Nitrox ones and it’s decently priced as well. However the biggest cons I found was the front led headlight which is honestly pathetic and the unreliable fuel tank indicator.

Good investment for future
I choose this for its style modern look and millage due to my daily commute and my budget. With this bike, my experience was amazing, easy to handle, no tiredness, feels well on long ride, I go to the nearby cities. Smooth on highway and city traffic is difficult to handle. Seat also comfortable. On highway, it feels like a rocket. It is more comfortable to ride. My plan is to go Ladakh with this bike and come. Nice bike.

Awesome cruiser bike in this segment.
Best highway bike for long trips. This bike is recommended for the trip lovers and long route destinations. Also, this is best for daily use from office to home.

This is basically confortable with both solo and pillon, and for long trips you can go for this bike. Just speed would be less rest is ok.

Meteor 350
I'm riding this bike on highway pretty good performance and i love this bike and i drove it from kozhikode to idukki very good comfort and no back pain, i reach idukki about 5.5 hours and that is prestty fast. High perfomance and a mileage of 30 km per litre, i think this is decent good comfort can ride smoothly 250-300 km without any strain in back good sitting position in long ride we can get upto 35 km per litre. Yes of course good mileage for a 350 cc cruiser good perfomance, good comfort, decent mileage of 30-35 kilo metre per litre good service from royal enfield i think it is best in the market with this price range.

Comfortable bike
My friend suggested that it would be better and yes its better plus best for long and slow riding so much comfortable. People need to go classy over flashy. If you want slow ride and comfort better it is good. Comfort is awesome when you are riding all eyes on you but it's down clearance a bit off but it's ok, design is awesome and not feeling any bumps. I ride 1284km till now and it's awesome and great. Go for it Yes of course, I recommend this bike to buy but if you dont feel slow ride maybe this bike is not for you. Its very Heavy to handle in speed the fear of accident can take places so ride safe and slow.
