More or less same with Dukes a bit longer, but Dukes rear gets narrower towards the end. My advice would be to TD the Bike as a Pillion to get the real picture.
P.S. If you are not looking at the comfort what will you get by comparing the sizes???

i meant that i am not looking for karizma kind of comfort .. fz reat seat was small so i didnt want duke's rear seat to be smaller than that .. it should just be able to accomodate enough space for a slim person .. i hate riding with a heavy pillion ..

Frankly speaking if you ride the Duke the way it should be ridden in a city you should get 30 - 40 max. Anything more you want in a city you have to ride it like a splendor, or better have to buy a splendor.

In highways even if you keep it around 100 with occasional 130+, you should get around 45.

i have told before that i need all the power only when i need it the most .. most of the times i will be riding it sanely .. its like doing the world a favour by letting the on-lookers take a good look at duke while riding ..

man if i was in your place i would have gone for duke... True maintenance cost will be more than ns but spares are very cheap...still cant trust the oil fitler costs just 70 bucks where as the cbr fiter costs around 300, the r15 around 169 and rtr around 90 i guess..(no offense meant)... If you have the money then its stupidity going for ns... Fun and PRESTIGE of riding a ktm is immense... All other brands we have here are volume players....where as ktm is a lifestyle brand...its not for every tom dick harry.... WHEN YOU OWN A BIKE FROM KTM, YOU DONT OWN THE BIKE, YOU OWN THE BRAND KTM...you can proudly say you own a ktm... Go for duke man...

yes .. the exclusivity of duke will always make dukers feel special ...

Quite true ... If you don't have budget constraint, then you should seriously go for Duke. Also if you calculate the price difference and check what all extra things you are getting from Duke you should never be in a confusion. The digital cockpit and USD forks itself enough to attract your attention.

i honestly feel that duke is better vfm over ns .. fi , mfd , dohc , better tyres , better brakes ( front brake has got a 4 pot caliper ) , steel braided brake lines, , alluminium swingarm , wp suspensions , way better power to weight ratio , ktm branding ...

Along with that goes - FI, fatter;gripper tyres, +2bhp, and My favourite - NECK JERKING ACCELERATION.
So, if budget is not restricted, then go with Duke for sure.

acceleration of duke got me high without alcohol.. i am 80% sure that i am buying duke ..i would have liked an analog tachometer in it

Carbon Decals, Rizoma Mirrors, Number Plate Holder, Gold KEITI Bolts

Here are the photos of the 3 parts I covered with dry carbon decals.

Also, I change the 4 bolts that are holding the visor with KEITI's windshield bolts ( I use gold colour )

I customized a BST's (tail) number plate holder and put it below the headlamp

Last, I change the stock mirror with (rep) RIZOMA TOMOK in black, the mirrors made from Aluminium CNC, even thought the mirrors are small, I can see my back clearly, and shake-free

Jus lyk others gettinto a dilemma between duke and ns..Can u pls be strait and frank over the mileage u get n city and hyway pls..

Though it was not intended for me, but still I am getting anywhere between 32 - 38 in city and around 45 while riding in highway between 80 - 100 kmph with short bursts of 130+ . Actually if you can find open stretches in your day to day commute where you can ride it around 40 - 60 kmph, you have the golden chance of getting around 40 kmpl mileage in city itself. But that heavily depends on your riding style. Use engine braking more than the external brakes and you'll get good mileage.

One advice: Don't use SMS lingo or at-least keep their usage to minimum. It's against the forum rule and Moderators are strict in this regard. No offense

the duke is having a wide range in mileage...anything between 20-60... I guess the sweet spot for mileage in duke is around 55-60 in 6th gear... Once me and my friend on his duke travelled from garia to barasat ie total em bypass along with total rajarhat...i was riding it and we planned to check the mileage that day... So i maintained around 60 the whole 110 kms round trip with short bursts to 80... Checked by full tank method and fuel efficiency was around 52-53 which i more than what i expected... But he gets around 25 with extreame ripping and 32 with normal riding.... Duke is just too good man...
