                Pros & Cons

                • 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.

                  Yamaha MT-03

                  • Engine performance is flexible enough to allow for slow city commutes and fast highway rides
                  • Great handling - feels light, changes direction quickly and feels stable when leaned too
                  • Design - the LED headlight looks aggressive and the MT-03 has that overall feel of a sporty and compact streetfighter

                • 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.

                  Yamaha MT-03

                  • Cramped seat - no space for taller or larger riders to move around
                  • Firm suspension - suspension kicks back when ridden over really bad roads and even the slightly bad roads aren’t absorbed all that well
                  • Lack of features - ABS and a basic fully-digital console is all that it has. Misses out on a slip-and-assist clutch, quickshifter, traction control and even Bluetooth connectivity - things that its competition have
                  • Extremely expensive price tag

                  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.

                  The Raging Beast
                  It is a great bike. The pickup and power delivery is amazing. I love this bike. Yamaha have done a great job Yamaha. The top speed goes beyond 160 for me being a big guy. But the exhaust notes on this with an after-market exhaust is 💕. I love this bike. The price is worth the thrill this gives. I give it a 10/10.
