I'm a massive fan of small displacement bikes. Ive owned a heavily modified Vmax, and about 8 others in my lifetime. Been on so many bikes its silly but for some reason these small bikes just make me smile more than super fast ones.
I've been riding a 250 dirt bike for a few years and thinking about getting a street bike. I'm inclined to get this guy. And although fast is fun, I just want to ride safely.
This is by far the best review I have found on the KTM 200 Duke. I am considering getting two of these for my 16 and 18 year old daughters. Then I can follow them around on my 1290 Super Duke GT.
I really love the orange one. Hopefully getting my endorsement today. Might get a lil duke for my first bike. The acceleration looks pretty good for city riding. Will be 90%+ of where I'll be riding. I just like to cruise around town for fun. Maybe hit some back roads once in a while.
I just bought this bike brand new in the black and white version. I’m a brand new rider and wanted a good beginner bike. I spent about $1,500 on gear and will be taking the MSF course in July. I will be using it for my daily commute bike to work. This is the best review of this bike I can find. Cheers!
Broke 400 subs!! Doing good MotoCity! That 200cc is pretty decent. Put it next to a DR200 and take them around town. You'll appreciate that Dukes engine real fast!
@@123glass7 I myself wouldn't want a 200cc on the freeway at 240lbs. But, I don't have any experience with this motorcycle, what's your idea of a commute? 65mph? 80mph? Kyle at MotoCity is the guru thou.
I understand its a small CC bike but I wish it had more top end. Looking for something cheap but reliable to ride to work everyday. 25 miles all highway.
Ha! Ha! @UPS76BoxDriver The Dukes in the showroom parts of this video video ARE your bikes! However, the one we ride was in KTM's traveling Demo Fleet, not the two you bought. Super fun little bikes! We hope you are enjoying them!
Yes sir, I bought one for my son and one for myself. Got them in for the first service. Having a blast teaching my son to ride. I’m impressed with these little motors and the handling of the motorcycle 🏍 itself. 👍👍👍
@@Midex74driver For sure! A rider of 40 years and the 390 Duke is one of the most fun bikes I have owned. Nimble. Light. And I take it anywhere! Nice work guys... continue to enjoy! - Kyle
The little bikes are TONS of fun! I own several big bikes too... AND a 390 Duke. I smile every time I ride it... Just too much fun! Check out this ride: ua-cam.com/video/zB-DZqV6MXE/v-deo.html
We have a customer who is commuting to and from College every day and he is getting 79 mpg! That being said, personally after a 40-minute cruise down the highway at 70 mph on the freeway, I pulled in to a gas station to inspect... Opening the tank to top-up I found the tank still full! With reports we’ve seen indicating you will get at least 70 mpg out of the 200 Duke. The fuel tank holds just over 3.5 gallons (HUGE INCRESE OVE MY 2016 Duke that needs a gas station every 100 miles!!!) you can go over 200 miles between fill-ups. HUGE!
There were not any differences... they just were not in the USA until this year. We are working on a full detailed breakdown / walk around video so stay tuned!
I personally would suggest the 390 over the 200 in nearly every situation due to what it can do better than the 200. Yes, I think you will be more comfortable on the 390.
@@MotoCityTV Thanks I kinda knew the 390 would be Better overall For my height/weight! I'm Actually Seriously Considering the 390 ADVENTURE for my main Touring with the wife Bike but I was thinking of getting the 200 for Getting my bike license ( In Australia) as I'm just getting back into riding after 20 years break and it will be a while ( $$$ Covid 19 )until I move to the Philippines next year to actually be where the bigger bike will be used full time !! So the 200 is cheaper and still useable power in the meantime!
I'm pretty sure they sit on the same frame so height shouldn't change your decision but there is a significant drop off in power so weight is something to definitely consider.
pretty sure you will. Most places, if the bike does more than 25mph, you need to have a motorcycle license to ride legally on the street. Varies by state.

Can you pm me your latest update. I too am a 1st time rider and looking for input.
Hard to believe that little 200 can do 85mph. Speedo must be off. Seems like a great beginner bike. Very affordable.
It has high compression, but still 85 seems off , 70 maybe.
break in period until 620 miles limits top speed to about 70 instead of 85 and redline to 7500 instead of 9200
Was told by KTM that it was fully unlocked. Guess not?

Ha! Ha! Duke vs. DR200 ... that would be a sight. 425 now... slow and steady wins the race ;)
whats your weight i weigh like 240 shouldi buy this if ineed to commute on the highway sometimes?

Thinking about selling my Grom for a 200 Duke!
stop thinking, do it !
U will regret
Thinking of doing the same
Yeah stop thinking. Just do it. Groms are……ehhhh. I’ll be nice
I like this especially 65 miles per gallon
Pretty awesome!
@@MotoCityTV I get 69 on my crf250 rally and I ride her hard.
I just got my learner license and planing to buy this one.is this ok for learning.tnx
Any of last years models still floating around? Sub $4k and getting a 2023 doesn't seem like a thing around this area.
I bought those two Duke 200’s from MotoCity in Anthem!!!

My Duke 200 will pull redline in 6th 87 mph on flat ground! I only weigh 160#.
50 lbs less than me ;)

@@MotoCityTV I just picked up a 2022 Duke 200. Now I have 3 KTM's in the garage.
Can’t you get the speed turned up once break in is over?
In India top speed of this bike is somewhere 130-140
lol & with 4 passengers
@@inseasonandoutofseason and a monkey
It must of been on that lock becusse when I got mine it was to but after five hours on the bike I was hitting 85
That is great news!
Price out the door, with all dealer fees etc. added?
Give us a call. We are super transparent.
I think I just found my bike.
Now if only I had 4 grand lol
Sweet!!! You can find them used now for $3k cash!
700 dollars more go with the MT-03

I also could be wrong on the frame part. Apologies if so.
I really don't like the sound those single cylinder engines produce.
Well, they do sound like an "old dirt bike" ... I too prefer the sound of the LC8 V-twin! Now that motor sounds amazing. - Kyle
Hey so I’m 16 and with this being a city bike do I still need a cyclist endorsement for it ?
pretty sure you will. Most places, if the bike does more than 25mph, you need to have a motorcycle license to ride legally on the street. Varies by state.
@@GrotrianSeiler ok thanks man
