Hi all I am thinking of upgrading my 2 year old FZ version 2.

The main reason of choosing KTM is their free revving nature and power.

My daily commute distance is 40 km a day which includes 50% city driving & 50% highway driving. The roads are a bit bad in some areas. And planning to do occasional short rides also of about 150-200 km and that's it.

My main concerns about the Duke are:-

1- Are the Duke alloys strong enough to tackle potholes and broken patches, Seen some horrific issues like broken alloys when driven on bad roads.
2- Hows the driving comfort of the duke when compared to FZ, Does the 200 cc duke handles the city traffic effortlessly?
3- How is relability of the KTMs when compared to the FZ.
4- My height is little over 5.8 so does the Duke provides a comfortable riding posture for someone like me?
5- How's the service experience of KTM, I stay in Hyderabad.
6- Is the D200 suitable for the regular commutes to office. Any heating issues with the engine?
7- Any hard gear shifting problems? Hows the quality of the D200 Gear box and clutch?

Here in Hyderabad, the D200 costs more than 2 lakh so is it a worthy upgrade over the FZ to my driving habits. Any other bike suggestions are also welcome. [emoji846]
