                • 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

                  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.

                  NS 200 best of all time
                  No vibration, perfect riding position, best performance, all rounder bike. And because I trust the bajaj and in this segment this is the best bike i bought. And the good one is gearing position, I like the design of my bike. Mileage i got on highway around 40 kml in cities 34 around, but best handling in every way. I ride the bike around 1900 km and I got the good mileage i observed there is no mileage drop in this segment. I ride around 50 km per day. Don't buy if you are not a men. Because pulsar is only for men. I would suggest this bike for every men, it is also best for college students and office mates. It attracts the whole attention of everyone.

                  the best ever
                  The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is one of India’s most popular 200 cc streetfighter motorcycles, known for its powerful engine and sporty character. It’s powered by a 199.5 cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve DTS-i engine that makes around 24.1–24.5 PS of power and ~18.7 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox that delivers strong acceleration and a top speed near 140 km/h, making it fun for both city rides and highway cruising.

                  The underrated gem
                  The first gen 200ns was the bike I fell in love with back then, so I always wanted one and hence got the current version of the bike. Apart from that the character of the engine and mainly the muscular timeless design and the sound...! The ride until now has been pretty pretty good, Yes there are some nacks here n there in terms of the build quality, fit n finish and some minor vibration aroun fron visor and rear seat, But the bike feels soo much emgaging to ride, everytime I'm on the bike it wants me to rev the engine all the way, and I find myself smiling inside my helmet. the major chunk of power comes above 6k rpm and that's where all the fun starts. All though the engine is much much more refined than the original 200ns but still you can feel that aggresive character in it. I feel the braking could have been better specially the organic brake pads, I think bybre was much better. And the abs kicks in a bit sooner than needed. In terms of handling this bike is such a gem, with the new usd forks its better than ever, the bike feels so like yet so stable on highways and once you get it into corners, then you can actually unleash the full potential of this machine, the chassis and dynamics are so good, the bike just flows into corners, I think bajaj can do better job for tyres as well, the bike demands 110 and 140 sections. But Bajaj being Bajaj, they had to do cost cutting so. Overal I'd say an amazing experience so far not a single moment of regret. All I have is satisfaction and the urge to get on my bike again and go out for a spin...! Okay so if you're someone who is very much into techy features and all those stuff then you should stay away, there are many other competitors who are much better. But i think that's not the purpose of this bike. This machine is for someone who just wants to have fun every time they get on the bike, someone who want to feel that rush and adrenaline surge into your veins everytime you ride the bike, someone who wants to lean how to ride fast the right way, someone who cares more about the engaging riding feel and experience rather than spec sheets filled with all the tech gizmos... You should definitely go and have a proper ride on this bike to fell all that beforehand atleast once..!
