Great review and impeccable write-up Sunny. Seems the whole xbhp family has fallen in love with the Duke 200. And why not. The bike indeed is awesome. The seat looks rather puny though. How comfortable it will be for getting Leh'd with a pillion? I'm 6'2" and I'm quite unsure if the Duke will be really comfortable for me.

CBR will definitely have a much better top end and better cruising ability on the highway. No doubt about thatOriginally posted by Samarth 619 View Post

Both might have the similar top speed. Can't comment it with surity. Only time will tell.Originally posted by vrugonnab View Post
Duke 200 is not about the top speed that it achieves
Th performance numbers were shared during the Duke presentation so to make the review wholesome we shared the stats with xBhpians.Originally posted by nagoo View Post
Please Note:
This is my understanding of the comparison chart shown by Bajaj: The reason why the number are compared with R15 and CBR is because these are the top of the line performance products currently offered in India and like it or not although the bikes are different in many aspects they are going to fight in a similar space.Last edited by MG; 12-08-2011, 10:37 AM.Comment

Pillion seat lenght is small so putting a saddle bag will not be that easyOriginally posted by nelson_sanjoy1 View Post
The pillion seat is small so we need to check how it fares when a pillion seats for a longer period of time.Originally posted by princesirohi View Post

As I mentioned earlier this bike is not about top speed. This is naked hooligan so more of a city guy that a highway mile muncher. And don't forget the quality of the product that has been used in this product.Originally posted by vrugonnab View PostComment

One question is still unanswered. What colors will we have duke in, in India? Apart from orange, I think black will also come. I'm wising for grey theme as on KTM stunt 125.
