KTM Duke 250 bhp 30 @ 9000 rpm, Nm 24 @ 7250 rpm and 161 kgs with Top Speed 142 kmph and Honda CBR250R bhp 29 @ 9000 rpm, Nm 23 @ 7500 rpm and 164 kgs with Top speed 164 kmph which do you think is better you decide for yourself.
I am planning to buy duke 250 over dominor ...is it a good choice .. i know That the domnior is more powerful but I have heard from a lot of people that Bajaj cannot be trusted ...also the looks of the new 250duke is great ..which one should I buy ..hell confused ...which one is better according to you
A big thank you to Motoroids and as always the first one to come out with the video.1 question though - how refined is the engine? I have 220 avenger and it's something I m looking to replace. The bike has too much vibrations around 90-100kmph. How would this hold up during a cruise around 90-100? Thanks in advance.
+ram kulkarni there are some minor vibrations to be felt around the footpegs at around 6k rpm and therafter, but nothing worth a bother. Cruising at the speed you mentioned would be a breeze for this one
+Kaveen Mano well, the Duke 250 is more powerful, gets slipper clutch, handles better and looks smashing. It is slightly on the expensive side but is a more solid product than the FZ. For handling and fun, the Duke 250. For commuting, the FZ
I am newbie rider..Should I buy a Duke 200 or 250?! I am ready to spend extra 30k for 250 but only for specific reasons..the seat comfort and height of the bike... performance doesn't matter fa me as duke 200 itself more than enough for me..I am 6feet high and weigh 80kgs...so d200 looks small when i am riding... so plz suggest me which one should i buy..
I've recently bought this bike (on 02/04/2017). Everything's fine but the engine heats up very much even over a small distance and the radiator turns on, say , within a distance of 6-7 km. I'm also not revving the accelerator too much and driving the bike under 60 km/h. But still, the engine heats up a lot and very quickly. Is that a normal thing or is there something that I should get checked? The gears also make a lot of noise while shifting which shouldn't be the case. What do you suggest I should do? Please help!!
Ajinkya gurav top speed on the track was a speedo indicated 137km/h. The bike with its soft suspension looks good for touring. expect a fuel efficiency of about 25 kmpl, though we have to test the bike outside the track ror the final word on that aspect
fz25 or Duke 250... my purpose is primarily office commute in peak Bangalore traffic and occasional long drive.. price to me is not factor... need suggestions more from comfort standpoint... my height 5' 11
Hi, i am a owner of RC 390. I have been facing a lot of quality issues like radiator fan stoping which turns out to have high coolant temp. And air filter box cracking, rattling sound from the battery cover etc. Has KTM and Bajaj have taken any measures on this?
Subhransu Patra not sure if this is a prevalent issue or a one off case with your machine. We will pass on your concern to Bajaj people nonetheless. Thanks for the feedback
very nicely done this is what is review look like thumbs up i just waiting for another bikes to show up like Bmw gs/r 310 and new himalyan or benelli TNT 302 as i looking to go solo on weekends ride and want to explore hills in north india and nepal so i want a bike to ride 100 kmph all day without stress on engine kindly advice .
+Abhijit Gaware top speed is less because the gearing here is meant for acceleration. At this point, we'd say that the Duke 250 is the more superior product of the two
Hello nice review But some confusion When I riding fz250 driving speed 0 to 100 in 8.64 sec Then I drive duke 250 also 0 to 100 in 8.64 sec Fz250 Yamaha produce power 20 Duke 250 power 30
+vatsal savani it's a bit of a bafflement for everyone. However, the FZ is lighter and has its gearing tuned that way. The Duke also has a lot of juice above the 100 mark, the FZ fades out after that though
Motoroids Thanks for the view. The thing is I am planning to buy a bike around 2L . My plans are to use it for city commuting as well as occasional Highway trips... what would you recommend? Or should I wait for the BMW?

My dream bike i love ktm bike 250 😘😘😘
Correction: Subframe does not influence handling. Engine and shocks are connected to the main frame. Subframe is just to hold the tail section.
Hey motoroids, what would you suggest a better bike between KTM 250 & Honda CB300R
CB300
Honda
@@motoroids wont the missing slipper clutch make any difference on the ride for CB300
KTM Duke 250 bhp 30 @ 9000 rpm, Nm 24 @ 7250 rpm and 161 kgs with Top Speed 142 kmph and Honda CBR250R bhp 29 @ 9000 rpm, Nm 23 @ 7500 rpm and 164 kgs with Top speed 164 kmph which do you think is better you decide for yourself.
Would the bike heat up significantly in bumper to bumper traffic
Hey hey hey.. what about headlight?? Out there?? Is it ok for night. I heard that there are poor headlight which is not fully led???
Good going Amit! Big thumbs up from friends. :D
Motor Octane thanks buddy. Appreciate your gesture.

Well you can call it a bajaj bike in india...lol

Great man .. this should be good contender with six speed for happy cruising ..
How is the bike for touring purpose?? Especially regarding the comfort and engine heat dissipation.
+Vikram B S very comfortable suspension and seat. Should be a much more capable tourer than the 200
fz25 or duke250 in terms of cornering, fun commuting, longrides? is the duke250 overpriced?
+Kaveen Mano well, the Duke 250 is more powerful, gets slipper clutch, handles better and looks smashing. It is slightly on the expensive side but is a more solid product than the FZ. For handling and fun, the Duke 250. For commuting, the FZ
Thanks @Motoroids!
Hey nice video, will it be coming with ABS in near future?
prankstereddy no it won't
is the heating problem with KTM series addressed in 2017 models ?
+Vinod Muraleedharan yes, to a large extent
How is the heating issue with this one?
d4dracula2010 the engine temperature goes up when you rev it hard for a prolonged period, but I didn't feel any bothersome heat dissipation on my legs
What is the topspeed of Duke 200 and 250? And what is the real life mileage of both these bikes?
I heard that it's low end performance is not great. Is it so?
I am newbie rider..Should I buy a Duke 200 or 250?!

so plz suggest me which one should i buy..
Gowtham V the Duke 250 should suit you more, as its a more usable, more comfortable motorcycle and suits taller riders better
Hey, I am planning to buy this Duke 250. I just wanted to ask you how the pickup is
Isme ABS lagawa sakte h
Im 5'5 Should I but this bike for city commuting?
Ill be riding it almost 20kms in heavy traffic 5 days a week!
hey tell me wich one to buy i need performance but top speed of 250 is same as per 200 ?
+Ajinkya gurav no, 250 has better performance and better top speed

What do you suggest I should do? Please help!!
Right
As 200 got ABS when will 250 get ABS and by how much will it cost more than the present price 1.8 ex-showroom
Not sure of the launch, but price should be 6-8 k more
It can be used for touring?
+Manjunath Amarnath unless you are luggage heavy you can.
confuse between pulser RS 200 and d250 which is better
Whats your take on the mileage of this machine?
+Molleti Arvind couldn't ascertain that on the track, but should be about 25k kmpl or thereabouts
how do we check the average mileage on the console?
Best review ever. Thank you so much.
Which will be better to buy whether RC200 or Duke250
Duke 250
I confused about dominar vs duke 250
Which bike I will buy?
+vatsal savani what are your priorities? Looks, handling, performance, price, efficiency?
Motoroids
Looks,handling,performance
what is top speed....?
it is good for touring and daily commute. and main point what's. about milege..?
Ajinkya gurav top speed on the track was a speedo indicated 137km/h. The bike with its soft suspension looks good for touring. expect a fuel efficiency of about 25 kmpl, though we have to test the bike outside the track ror the final word on that aspect
the duke 200 also top speed of 137 even it have low power and juzz in 200 cc
???
+Ajinkya gurav the top speed of the new Duke has slightly reduced
so...thats iam asking.... comparing price and performance and mileage which i should bye.....200 or 250
is the duke 390's handel guards available for 250??
is it worth to buy duke 250 or 200ns or duke 200 which is better i ride 70km daily...so pls suggest me
+Hyun Duke250 is the best option if you have the money to spare
Motoroids ok but riding 70km sometime 100km so i am just concer about that can duke keep up to all weather condition and what about engine heat up
One more question. Is there an option to install a windshield on the 250 like on the 200?
+Vikram B nope, as far as we know
Oh ok, thanks
Do u need to topup mobil in this bike
Yes
sir i want to know the millage ho duke 250 .....can u tell me the milage
rc 200 or d250 my purpose is for daily commute need some satisfying mileage doesnt care about pillion? confused becoz both are in same price range..
is it comfortable for short riders (5,6)
Yash Prabhu yes it is
what was it's on track milage Nd on road milage
+Rajan Monu mixed average should be slightly upwards of 25kmpl. Though we will have to test it on the road to give you the final verdict
Hlo. ktm rc 250 kab launch hoga...
fz25 or Duke 250... my purpose is primarily office commute in peak Bangalore traffic and occasional long drive.. price to me is not factor... need suggestions more from comfort standpoint... my height 5' 11
+Santosh Kumar will let you know in a couple of days once we ride the FZ
If it’s just for office, fz25 would be a better option. As it wouldn’t heat up as duke would, in traffic.
which one should i buy,
duke 200/250
+SPORT PACK if you can spare the extra money, go for the 250

kindly advice .
+Gourav Kumar we'd suggest you wait for the G310 before making a decision. The Dominar is also a pretty capable machine btq
Is it ok if i took my new ktm 250 for a ride of 300 km before 1st service
+Kunal Yadav shouldn't be a problem, unless you rev the guts out of it for the entire ride
Motoroids thanks
Kunal Yadav how much mileage u r getting on duke250 in city and highway ??
i ride my byke 874 km total and the average i got around 27 to 30 aproxx
Kunal Yadav how do we check the average milage on the console....all I can find on it is the real time mileage
does the engine heat?
+Gokul view the engine heats when you ride it aggressively for long durations, but heat dissipation isn't bothersome for the rider
Motoroids ok
can i ride with my girlfriend... is it a good pillion seat confirt bike.?.please tell me sir...
+Pratik Nangare for short to medium distances, yes
Motoroids thanks a lot sir
I am planning to buy 250 Duke and version, just wanted to check if there is any heat issue on that as the earlier models

Milage of duke 250?
My height is 5.4 can I touch the ground with both my feet, while on the KTM Duke 250
Yes you can
No dude it is difficult to u...I m 5.6 I m not able touch my both feet on duke200..but we can manage...
how to adjust front suspension
Heating issue to the level of bike stalled.. in heavy traffic of Kolkata in summer.. with daily distance of 100km/day.?. pls help.
That is a bit of problem with the KTMs
@@motoroids I wished to hear so.. ;)
Bro Hws d initial speed abt 250 duke I heard tat it has less initial speed
bro do heating problem in 250 as 390
I was confused abt heatingg... Wht to do abt high heat
Can't do much about it
can you replace the tft display on duke 250?
+sarvesh sharma we will get to know about it on 8th March when we get briefed by Ktm blokes at the Duke 390 review
Motoroids hey bro please let us know about it..then i will think to buy any of these
indian football collection no you cannot replace the 250s instrument console with the 390 Duke's unit
Please can you do a review on kawasaki vulcan
my heights 5'5. will it be trouble for me??
It may be. You'll have to take a test ride to be sure
will it be comfortable for someone with 5'6 height
Sandeep Nimbalkar yes it will be
Does Duke 390 has same seat height?
cbr 250r and duke 250 which one is best
and why top speed of duke is less than Cbr250r
+Abhijit Gaware top speed is less because the gearing here is meant for acceleration. At this point, we'd say that the Duke 250 is the more superior product of the two
Duke 250 have body roasting problem??
+vatsal savani not so much
Hello nice review
But some confusion
When I riding fz250 driving speed 0 to 100 in 8.64 sec
Then I drive duke 250 also 0 to 100 in 8.64 sec
Fz250 Yamaha produce power 20
Duke 250 power 30
+vatsal savani it's a bit of a bafflement for everyone. However, the FZ is lighter and has its gearing tuned that way. The Duke also has a lot of juice above the 100 mark, the FZ fades out after that though
Motoroids frenklly duke was super bike super power but fz no fill lake of power
Any 250 bike compare to power of duke
At 1:53 .... is the bike height can be reduced??
Just Gamer the height can be increased
Does the 250 gets hand gaurd??
+Just Gamer no it doesn't
plz do ride fz250 and review on it..
+Prabhakar Balla sure
Is it worth to wait for the bmw g310r or the Duke 250 is better than that??
NMD The G310 would be a more premium and more expensive product. Also its difficult to compare the two at this point as we have not ridden the BMW.
Minimum height required to drive duke 250
shivnath guntod 5.4 ft
I'm 5.2' can I ride this. I'm willing to buy it till next year

Hello
My height is 5.5ft ,is there any problem for me to ride duke 200/250.
Thank you
SPORT PACK shouldn't be an issue, but the 250 is slightly higher than the 200. Ensure you take a test ride though.
how does it stand against Dominar 400
Dominar is substantially quicker and faster than this one
Motoroids how how do they compare in terms of stability agility balance fit and finish
Sanjit Chakaravarty the Dominar is a pretty capable product if you ask us, and holds its own. The Duke is better finished though
Motoroids Thanks for the view. The thing is I am planning to buy a bike around 2L . My plans are to use it for city commuting as well as occasional Highway trips... what would you recommend? Or should I wait for the BMW?
mileage???
+MRITTUNJAY BAIRAGI around l 30 kmpl
