I'll take those specs with a pinch of salt. From highlights and technical details page, notice the difference?

At 125 Kgs dry weight, we can probably add another 10-12 kgs for the fuel + oil which should make the kerb weight not more than 135-137 Kgs.

Even at 135-137 Kgs, the 200 Duke is lighter than the CBR250R by around 30 Kgs..!!!

With both the CBR250R and the 200 Duke making 25 bhp the power to weight ratio of the 200 Duke is explosive.

Would miss the ABS but the 200 Duke now will definitely be my next bike.

u guys don't worry about the braaks....Byber is the sub brand of Brembo which is the one wo supplys carbon ceramic breaks for Ferrari Enzo & other models

so braaking wont be a problem at all

Considering the high compression ratio(12.6:1) the 125 Duke runs, there is a good chance that 200 Duke will be de-tuned for the indian market. I will be happy with something around 22-23 bhp

Can someone tell me why high compression ration is a problem in/for India? is it availability of high octane fuel we are worried about??

Yes, availability is one of the reason.
Even the stricter emission norms can be another reason I may be wrong with this one.

25 bhp from 200 cc Engine ... that will be CBR beating performance(lower weight then CBR)

Buddy, that is a typo, if you see the KTM 125 home page, the description of features and other stuff is same as the KTM 200, the 280 mm disc is actually the KTM125's, they just forgot to update the KTM 200's description properly.
