125 kg dry is some serious power to weight ratio! But can it tour?

touring mainly depends on riding position & ride-ability..you can tour on any bike but how good tourer it can be is a question for any bike. we have to wait & feel Duke's riding position to see how good tourer it can be.

WOW !!! 25bhp??

have to wait for torque figures ! lol
if dry weight is 125 then kerb would be about 135-138.
a litre of petrol is almost one kilo.
if its less than 1.5l on road then it could be my next bike.

but the very small tank (10.5l of which some will be reserved.) and no fairing could be a problem for touring. bummer.

how many valves and is it Fi or carb? i'm supposing four valves and Fi.
Would be a great city bike though.

4 Valves per cylinder, DOHC and its got Fuel Injection. Since it's got Fi, I don't see it getting a reserve knob.

This bike has killer specs, I personally feel it will not be the best of tourers, will be a great second bike though. Torque figures of around 22 - 24 can be expected if not more

Guess the India launch will be last, wouldn't mind one of these as a second bike alongside my R15.

Specs are on the KTM website 200 Duke - Highlights - KTM
