                • 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.

                  Bajaj Pulsar NS200

                  • Offers great performance and quick acceleration
                  • Now comes with a lot of new features like smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation

                • 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.

                  Bajaj Pulsar NS200

                  • The suspension setup is now a bit stiff and makes the rider feel most bumps and potholes
                  • The seat height is a bit too high and the wide seat makes the bike inaccessible to shorter riders
                  • Engine vibrations start creeping in at higher speeds and can be annoying

                  Perfection between Power and Style - DUKE
                  I chose this bike because of its aggressive style,looks, strong performance and a reliable ktm build. It offers the perfect balance of both power and practicality and very good for weekend rides. The mileage the overall package it comes with iam very satisfied as a owner. The ride has been amazing so far , I have owned it for 4 months now. The performance is smooth, mileage is also impressive for a 250cc , iam getting 44kmpl in highway and in city 36 39kmpl. The handling feels very stable at highways. There is a noticeable vibration at low RPMS, but it's manageable. Comfort is decent and overall it's a fun and confident ride. Yes definitely, The duke 250 gen 3 is great for anyone who is looking for a powerful bike with a significant amount of maintenance cost. It's ideal for young riders and enthusiasts looking for performance without compromising on daily usability . I wish ktm had a rear tyre hugger for extra practicality but it's fine and also enhances the looks. Overall it's a very good bike and iam satisfied with it.

                  KTM 250 Duke – The Perfect Mid-Range Beast
                  I chose KTM bike after test riding a few options. As soon as I sat on the 250 Duke, I felt absolutely right. It was light the controls were smooth and the design was far better than others. I needed something that could handle the daily ride to the office and the occasional weekend coffee run. This fits perfectly. My riding experience has been excellent. It feels smooth, quick and well balanced. I use it for urban trips but I have also taken it for short weekend trips. The engine is refined and I like the digital speedometer. It never gave me teething problems and it feels solid even on rough roads. A great bike for everyday use. I would truly suggest it. It is good choice for those who want an everyday bike that also looks good. People often ask me about the bike at signals or parking lots. It has that presence. Low operating costs and good looks make it a winner. I think this is the best KTM 250 Duke option for urban riders right now.

                  I chose KTM 250 Duke as I was getting back into biking after few years. I did not want something too powerfulso I trusted Honda's brand for reliability and low maintenance. This felt like a smart middle groul or too basic. The Hornet is sporty looks caught my attention and reviews were mostly positive. And for my needs. This KTM bike runs smooth and the pickup is quite good for a 250 Duke. I get 55 to 60 kilometers per litre which is great. It handles well in traffic and the brakes are strong. I did not face any mechanical problems. It always feels stable and fun to ride every day. Absolutely. This is one of KTM 250 Duke bikes that gives you more than you expect. Stylish, easy to drive, lower fuel costs and more comfortable. Do not think it is just a passenger it is also having a bit of fun. I have been suggesting it to my friends ever since I bought it.

                  NS200 and Why its the best in its segment
                  It was my first motorcycle. It looked really beautiful and also the exhaust sound melted my heart. I researched on it about the service and all. The service cost is really low compared to the rest of bike in this category. The sound is really beautiful. It gives good mileage if you ride slow (40-55kmph), sometimes even gives 40 plus mileage. The ride was really good, but after some years the fibre parts starts to make some sound. Its easily fixable too with petty expense. I am 6'3 so for tall people I wouldn't recommend (if you ride regularly for long period of time).. I even used it for offroad and it performs really well too.. I would 100% recommend this bike to people who loves bikes with muscular look and sexy sound. And also really good for college students or as a First bike.(Budget friendly)..even the 2nd hand options are good.
