I tend to agree, no doubt the bike is mechanically superior but giving a blanket recommendation on a single TD seems like an overwhelmed kid on getting a icecream sundae. I am not sure if it will outclass the CBR250R, except maybe in city and though the bike looks stunning its design advertises it more like a dirt bike than city bike.Originally posted by 1235sam View Post

I totally agree. Most of the newer lads here thinks this is more of an advertisement rather than 1st impression!! If a new product is better than most of the present rivals, why can't we just welcome it?Originally posted by inder.cool View PostI would really be happy, if this thread gets locked and only mods can post any relevant info afterwards.
Too much of a mayhem on this thread already over the performance part."HASTA LA VICTORIA, SIEMPRE !" - Chesigpic

It's purely because the Duke is being positioned price wise between the Yamaha R15 and the Honda CBR250R. I don't see the point of a comparison of a bike like the KTM 200 DUKE with 25bhp vs. another with 33bhp (N250) and with price points that are almost double the other!!! Whereas the CBR250R has more or less the same price bracket and well seemingly similar specs, and lets face it, will be the closest competition (in sales & performance) to the KTM 200 DUKE, the R15 however, on the other hand, shouldn't have been brought into the comparo, coz i feel thats just plain bullying!!! It's great for a 150cc bike but i guess it's popularity has made them the target of every manufacturer. I personally like the R15 but the engine needs to be a lot bigger maybe even 200cc and they need even bigger tyres!!! that would really make it better than it already is!!!Originally posted by ShreyasKD View PostAny reason why much of the stats of the Duke 200 have not been compared to the N250 since its compared quite intensively to the CBR250r?
I hope I've given you a satisfactory answer.Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.

The same stupid Bajaj mechs are doing excellent jobs with Ninja 250 and even Duke 200 will get serviced only in probiking showrooms just like Ninja 250.Originally posted by salman_sk View PostOnly reason that i might not but this bike is those stupid Bajaj mech will work on the issues who do not know anything !! Hell with there after sales service

Hi Sunny/MG, what all type alert shows by right side 3 lights in console?
The first one is a dummy; provision for any future requirement
The second light is activated and indicates an if an alarm system is plugged in on the Duke
The third lights acts as a warning light; if an operating safety message was detected. Like low fuel, low oil pressure, High coolant temp, side stand down and low battery
This apart from the actual warning display on the speedo
Hope this helps ...No matter what marque you ride, it's all the same wind.
Bikes don't leak oil, they mark their territory ;-)

Either you are just assuming or must be passing some mechanic as a stupid bajaj mechanic.Originally posted by salman_sk View PostOnly reason that i might not but this bike is those stupid Bajaj mech will work on the issues who do not know anything !! Hell with there after sales service

I don't think Bajaj service has ever been bad. One of the prime factors for KTM's success will be excellent service!

Looks like Bajaj is also obsessed by the letter 'K'. First Kawasaki and now KTM...
People in Pune, just head to the Probiking showroom next to Ruby Hall Clinic. It is no more a Probiking showroom and looks more like a KTM store
The hoardings on the showroom were being changed this morning to depict KTM. I believe the showroom will only sell KTM and Kawasaki bikes now. The P220 and A220 will now be sold by the regular Bajaj showrooms.

Bangalore people - head to PBK Indiranagar - it is being decked orange!! I caught a fleeting glimpse of the showroom (in mad traffic) and I could see the front view of the DUKE stickered across the huge glass panes.Originally posted by Alibaba View PostLooks like Bajaj is also obsessed by the letter 'K'.

IIRC , Rajiv Bajaj said in his UTV Bloomberg interview that PBK will be primarily used to sell KTM. (or I could have read/heard this somewhere else tooOriginally posted by Alibaba View PostLooks like Bajaj is also obsessed by the letter 'K'. First Kawasaki and now KTM...

I will check it out tomorrow. I called them today enquiring about booking, as i read some where that booking might start from the 20th. They said booking starts only after the launch in Jan. Excited to replace my 9 year old Pulsar 150 classic.Originally posted by Shubz View PostBangalore people - head to PBK Indiranagar - it is being decked orange!!
