        Both are equally reliable. However, if you want pure FUN, Duke 200 it is. While Duke 200 is hooligan that finds reasons to kill you everyday, CBR is docile compared to that. Ride both of them back to back and see which one suits your taste.

        If ASS is your criteria, KTM is ahead of Honda in that regards.

        Also, pillion seat on a Duke is not very comfortable. But if FUN is the only criteria pillion seat can be over looked as it gives reasons for you to get close to your Girl friend

          Not that much for the a**.. just I want a superb braking punch...almost I have interested in speed so much so breaking is an important factor and next to the performance in that case I think duke is the 1 that everyone should point there finger.. and riding comfort is also a factor. ..

          Which one has the most affordable or less in service sectors and spares. :banghead:

            Also heard about duke has poor cornering ability because it has only less weight ratio.. is that true...

              By ASS, I guess he meant 'After Sales Service'. Duke is pure fun but comfort wise, I would suggest CBR - suited for touring. Take a test ride on both the bikes. If you have friends then try doing it back to back, you'll realize the difference and in the process select what's best suited for you.
