    It's full on hooligan performance machine and low on comfort. It's just that once you go out and try a 45bph machine with that brutal acceleration, everything else feels hollow.

    Duke 200 is pointless due the the presence of Dominar.

    If you can wait, follow the updates of BMW G310, Akula 300 (?), FZ 250 ( 20 bhp :/ ), 2017 Duke 390 ( Epic dashboard / console ).

    ps- I don't like fairings much and found rs200 to be a vibe monster. Dem plastics vibes.
    Did you read his requirements? He clearly stated a decent FE.. which should be north of 35 kmpl.. No way a Duke 390 will give anything greater than 30 kmpl..

    Yes, Agreed that the power is tempting.. but it isn't about the power for everyone out there.. If power is the case, then there won't be any REs selling..

      Meanwhile waiting for Yammy to come up with its product on Jan14th, you can also consider the P220, if you haven't already and if you are okay with its dated looks. The 2017 model has got a BS4 engine. It has a torquey engine and delivers good FE figures for a 220 CC engine. Occasional highway runs will also be better.

      Cheers!
