Hello Friends,
I Have Been Using Yamaha FZ16 Untill I Own A KTM Duke200.I Bought The Duke 200 In March 2018 And It's Been 8Months Of Owning The Bike And it Ran About 12000kms On My Hands. So I Thought Off Writing A Review About My Motorcycle.
* Why I Bought Duke200?
My Usage Was Most Of City Runs And Weekend Long Rides,And Also Touring.So I Was In Search Of A Motorcycle Wich Is More Reliable And Wich Can Do What Ever I Expect From A Motorcycle Or Wich Is Best Suited For My Commuting.So The Duke200 Have Good Fuel Efficiency As Well As Power Wich Is More Than Enough For My Locality Road Conditions And It Was More Reliable When Compared To Other Bikes In The Segment(According To Me).So I Bought The Duke200 Wich Was Well Suited For My Usage.

KTM Duke 200 Is The Bike Wich Is Made For The Youngsters Wich Behaves Like A Warm Blooded Youngster.With It's Agressive Nature Of Powerdelivery And Also It Has Good Fuel Efficiency For The Power It Has On Offer.And It's Not Much Comfortable For Touring But You Can Do Touring On This Motorcycle, It's Comfortable When Compared To RC200.
*Where The Duke200 Feels Better
Duke200 Rides Better In The Corners Where You Can Carry More Speed Throughout The Corner With Better Lean Angle,And The Mid-range Is Strong Part In it's Power Delivery Where You Can Cruise Easily At 80-100kmph On Highway With Better Fuel Efficiency Of 38-40kmpl.But It Lacks The Topend Performance Due to the Revlimiter Wich Kicks In At 10k Rpm.
*Quality &Relablity
When Compared To The Older Version Dukes The New Version Doesn't Has Good Quality Of Parts And The Paint Scheme Is Not Bright As The Older Version Dukes The Quality Of The Parts Goes Decreasing Year By Year.And The Bike Is More Reliable When Compared to Other Motorcycles In The Market.KTM Has Good Service Network And Also They Assist You In Case Of Any Problems.
*Maintenance
People Believe Or Not The Maintenance Cost Of The Duke200 Is Cheaper Now Even Though It Is A Performance Motorcycle And Not An Indian Brand.But The Bajaj Made The Spares Are Soo Cheaper When Compared To Honda,Yamaha,Suzuki Etc Wich Are Not An Indian Brand.The Regular Service By Changing The Engine Oil And Periodic Kit Cost Just About 2.5k Wich Comes For Every 7500kms.Where You Don't Even Have To Go To Service Center So Quickly Due To The Long Service Interval.And The Wear&Tear Spare Are Also Cheaper.But if You Maintain Your Motorcycle Periodically By Cleaning And Checking It Daily Your Bikes Parts Will Last Longer Like Chain Sprockets Break pads Oilseal's Etc.Wich Will Last Longer If You Maintain Your Motorcycle Properly By Washing And Cleaning Each And Every Parts.
*After Sales Service
The Service Centers Of KTM Showroom Has Good Standards Where You Can Feel Of Purchasing A Premium And Also They Offer Many Schemes Like Orenge Assist,Orenge Rides,Orenge Day Etc.And Also Service Centers Are equipped With Well Trained Mechanic's And Well Equipped Instrument's
But In Some Of The Service Centers The Workers Don't Work Properly,I Don't Know Why? And in most Of The Cities KTM Service Centers Available.
*My Verdict
These Are The Experience Wich I Faced After Purchasing The Motorcycle I The Opinion Might Be Different Of Others.But I Am Happy And Well Satisfied With What I Have Purchased.
