Full Review
Here are my findings after owning KTM Duke 200 2015 model.
Rocks:
1) Excellent Pickup
2) Stunning Naked Looks
3) Qualitative Manufactured Product
4) Best Sitting Position for Tall Riders
5) Quiet Compact in Size, ease to Ride in Heavy Traffic
6) Best Value for Money
7) Best for Long Rides, once its in gear 5-6.
Shocks:
1) Poor Road Grip - It has 280-300mm Disk Brakes at Rear/Front but again Duke 200 is quiet light in weight(130kgs.). It has better Power to Weight ratio. But when you are at speed of 60+kmph & if you apply Urgent Brakes, Bike doesn't stop & gets skids for at least 5-10mtrs. which is definitely not safe for speedy riders.
2) Not for short riders/pillion - Its too tall sitting position for short riders. Pillion rider needs to climb up for sitting.
3) Vibration Issues - Duke 200 has relatively more vibrations at lower gears. Bikes gets smooth at 4+ Gear.
4) Too Noisy/Irritating Silenser - In City Traffic, this bike you may find too noisy.
5) Complex Rear Brake Paddle Position - Brake paddle position angle may find difficult to rider initially.
6) Poor Horn Quality - Horn noise and tempo is quiet ordinary and certainly doesn't suits to hype of Duke.
Its a complete package for Aggressive rider, except poor road grip at high speed, results in poor riding control, surely doesn't give safe feeling at speed.
