Hey guys,
The first time I saw spy shots of the RS 200 I kinda liked it, also because I had long been looking to get a bike and this was something new that was coming into the market. I had high expectations from the product. As it launched there was a huge media furore and positive reviews coming from everywhere. So I went ahead and booked it on 28th of March. (Without a test ride, only by looking at it. I am no fan but it sure is something different to look at)
A while later the deliveries started commencing, and actual reviews started coming. Turned out that the bike is pretty heavy and affects the overall performance. After a second and third look I could also make out the poorish quality of the fairing making me think again on my decision.
so it's been a lot of time I have spent thinking,
now it's either RS or Duke.
My parents are buying the bike for me and so the budget is not really a concern but what I am keeping in mind are the maintenance costs, cost of spares in case of any damage. Fuel efficiency around 30kmpl is okay. I am considering the duke, looking at the fact that spending 60k can get me a bigger and a better Duke sibling is also an option. So now the choices are- RS 200 vs Duke and if Duke then 200 vs 390.
