                  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.

                  Out of budget
                  Highway ride me maza aata hai or city me ye kamal kar deti hai lekin ek problem hai, 20 ki speed me chalane me problem karti hai, wo smoothness fill nahi hoti. Lekine power acchi hai or ye India ki har kone me ja sakti hai kahi bhi le jaoo ye jaye gi, mana nahin karegi, jahan bologe vahan jayegi. Or mileage ek dm kam hai average 23 ka mujko de rahi hai. Parts kafi costly hai aur sensors problem to nhi hui lakin meri bike me ek indicator ki relay kharab ho gai thi uske liye rs 15000 ki wiring ke liye bol rahe the. Me happy hu isko leke. Service or part available ho or average acha kare bike me, smoothness ki Kami hai bhai main power acchi hai. After market iske part available ho kyun ki part milane mein kafi dikkat ho rahi hai iske... Baki koi Kami nahin hai power bharpur hai maja aaega le lo.

                  The Rocker Beast.
                  I am very much dreaming to get this bike, very good looking cruiser segment bike with great dynamics. Feels very light and easy to handle, the straight wide rod handle bar and the seating posture is super comfortable. 334 cc oil cooled engine. 22 - 25 mileage and goes upto the top speed of 135 with ease and comfort.

                  Stylish with powerful engine but expensive s parts
                  I wanted a Stylish and powerful motorcycle with liquid cool , six speed gears so Roadster was there, I have ridden this bike almost 9000 km but never felt strain or fatigue. Compare to other bikes with same segment. This bike offers little more features like dual exhaust, slipper clutch, dual channel abs. Roadster is very comfortable for rider and powerful engine with high torque, i have enjoyed the bike so far. Front brake performance is very good compare to rear , only rear brake is not enough to stop at sudden moment , so we have to use both brakes at the same time . Even if you ride this bike in city you will never feel any wrist pain or fatigue. I would recommend this bike for office goers only not for students because high maintenance and low mileage offers as well as spare parts of this bike is so expensive and shortage. Overall the bike is amazing.
