I was just enjoying how Shumi sir was super excited about the Topic. He was literally like a child who wants to show his new toy to his friends😂😂😂😂😂
Glad you felt it too!
A clear 10 out of 10. Its a pleasure to listen to karthik and you too. Both of you are my favorite auto journalists.
Thanks a lot for that SM!
Well I can be the first to rate Mr karthi. Its a clear 9 out of 10. You almost covered entire things we want to know. 👍
Let us know what’s missing.. happy to help out!
@@motorincFor a guy who is going to buy a new 250cc machine, if you explain how this new duke 250 stands out from n250, Gixxer 250 and dominar 250 could have been useful. Difference in terms of touring and city commutes. Especially touring.
Still your summary is excellent. 🙌
Why didn’t you ask? The Dominar 250 is smooth but otherwise lacklustre. We don’t recommend it at all. The N250 is the best commuter of this group. Comfortable, swift and efficient. Quality has improved too. Gixxer 250 is a slightly sportier machine than the N250. But still very much a commuter. And now also growing old - Suzukis not given it any upgrades since it launched. The Duke is the fastest of this lot by some margin and by far the sportiest in feel. The new chassis also makes it a reasonably comfortable bike which wasn’t the case earlier.
Do let us know if you have more questions
Economy: N250 > G250
@@motorinchow's the engine performance compared to a scram 411
Forget about the rating, I saw this in loop not to know more about the machine but just to see how much you enjoy doing this. I’m addicted!!
😁 Glad to hear that!
12/10 for the summary ❤❤
Loved how Kartikeya properly summed everything up! And shumi came and just garnished on top with that new bike energy. 🤭🤌❤
It was a joy to listen to this summary in the full video and it's still a joy to go through it here.
I thoroughly enjoy the calmness and the minimalism of your channel. It doesn't have any distracting audio or visual and it's mesmerizing to see how focused and diligent you two are with your analysis.
Kudos to your style!
Thanks!
Also looks like this is kinda Triumph Speed 400
So in general what will you recommend out of these 2? And why??
One of THE BEST Automotive UA-cam channel for a reason. TWO reasons. Shumi and Karthi.
And we have 200k reasons to get better. Thank you!
The editing and production value is no joke either.
Thank you very much!
Using this video to try and see if the new vitpilen is a good fit for me, going up from my sweet sweet R15 after 6 years !
Review is 10/10. Awesome. Keep up. Kartik being car expert summarised every thing too well.
Thank you!
For occasionall touring and city use which one you would recommend A Suzuki V strom or Duke 250
I would absolutely love for you guys to revisit the CB300R and compare it against the D250. I'm upgrading from my 1997 Yamaha RXG and the 146kg weight of the XB is super tempting!
I love how u make thumbnail simple colour ❤
9/10...always there is room for improvement guys!!!
Your pick duke 250 or speed 400 or Himalayan 450(bit more price) ??
Wt abt honda cb300r which is now discount on rs50k produces same amount of power with less kerb weight?
Please please make a video explaining open and closed cartridge and big piston forks.....btw love the work that you guys do❤
New KTM duke 250 or Second hand Yamaha R3 - 2020 model which one do you think is better ? R3 price is similar to that of Duke 250. Please help.
I seen so many videos 250 zen3 on UA-cam engine getting many problems.. please give me suggestion about buy it or i didn't buy it
Hey there, Shumi & Karthikeya, top stuff, as always. Thank you. ❤
I’ve ridden the Redditch Red 350 Classic for almost six years now. I’m on the lookout for my second motorcycle to be used mostly for commute and occasional weekend rides, with maybe some touring, as well (I hope so).
I’ve always had a thing for the CB300R and given it’s recent price cut, it becomes all the more enticing. On the other hand, the new Duke 250 seems like a better decision, in all departments, I strongly like it. Am I justified in comparing these two? What would be your advice for me? Of course, I’ll take a test-ride before putting down the money but I’d like to know your views. Also, a discussion, albeit small, on the CB300R would be awesome.
Forgive the long message and thank you for the content. Anticipating a response. 😊
Very nice summary guys.
Can you pls tell me which one has a better ride quality, engine refinement and lesser vibrations between the Honda cb300r and the new Duke 250 and is the seat cushion and suspension of the new Duke 250 good for long rides ?
Making good summary just the normal! Just raised the bar!
Thanks!
10/10 for Kartik’s summary. It’s a joy listening to both of you. How do you advice a new rider to choose between the ktm duke 250 and the ktm adv 250. I’d like to tour but 90% of the times would be commuting. Thanks and keep blessing us with more content.
Simple - Duke it is! And thank you!
10 on 10 for karthik's summary. :)
Awesome!
How long will the Duke 250 keep the rider satisfied? For a guy who wants to upgrade from MT15.
Hi, Is there a KTM Duke 200 2023 available? If not will it be launching anytime? Which according to you will be a better buy between Duke 250 and Duke 200 in terms of ride quality and mileage? Basically, I want to buy a pocket friendly bike.
Have you been testing the new Aprillia RS 457?? When's the video guys, it's looking too dope? What Shumi thinks about design? Your vids are best, glad I came across
Hi, would this new engine make way into KTM 250 ADV? Any news of the ADV range getting the upgrades from Dukes?
Fuel economy?
Eagerly waiting for Shumi's review of the Aprilia RS 457
I am planning to buy a Duke 250. Can someone say if the engine is reliable?
Is there any issue I should be aware of?
Ranking kartik 9 / 10. But my next question will be to compare Duke 250 and cbr 300 2024 and triumph 400 because they all are similar in price range and are allrounder kind of bike.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Sir, eagerly waiting for your analysis on VITPILEN 250. 2024.
Very good interpretation and analysis… Great work on minute things as well. But I would like know about KTM 250 adventure on upcoming 2025 ,No information found about it wether it is coming or not ? In your video also you recommending 390 adv. What about 250 adv update?
Motorinc kindly review about the new 2024 Husq Vitpilen 250…
Superb as always. One question- how to you Seperate out KTM 250 v/s Vstorm 250. Which one is more recommended for city? @motorinc
Hey Shailesh! They’re not similar riding experiences at all. Both can manage the city but they feel very different from each other. Even a short test ride should clear this right up!
Oh, the smile on Shumi’s face says it all!!
I want to buy my first bike I really love the RE new 450 but want a roadster/street version I am recovering from a back injury that will take me 2months to recover how much longer will I have to wait for the 450 roadster/street???
Brilliant, Kartikeya...10/10.
Thanks AA!
I happy with my Honda Shine bs3 with drum breaks.😅
But always waits for your videos guys.....😊😊 Feel good when you both sit and talks about motor vehicles ❤
Awesome bike! Enjoy!
I am planning to upgrade from125 duke to 250. Before that I want to sale my 125. It is Mumbai 03 registered in 2018 and hardly done 5000 kms. So how much I can expect for it.
10 out of 10 all because of that idea that kartik bhiya told us how to convince our parents for 250.... 🥰🥰😇
Got to do it smoothly!
Hey! Love the content on this channel would like to hear your views on the Honda CB300r specially after its recent price drop and how it holds up against the speed 400 and the duke ... Thanks!
Hey CC! Thanks! Noted! We’ve been waiting to ride the Honda too.
Hi MotorInc Team. I need to make a buying decision and I am confused between the 250 Duke and Honda CB300R. Long term reliability is my primary concern as I like to keep my bike for 6-8 years. I have cancelled Triumph Speed 400 due to its expensive service and spare parts.
I have taken a test ride of all of the above and I like all of them.
Please help me decide which one should I go with! Will Honda CB300R be easy on the pocket with respect to service and spare parts?
Could you please review Honda CB 300R and compare it with Duke 250
Is it worth buying Honda CB200X?
How does it compare to gixxer 250?
will this means the husqvarna twins will also be updated in India?
10/10 review, 11/10 summary❤
Awesome!
I enjoy all your videos. I wonder why there is no video about Honda's take on RE i.e. CB350 series. 😀
No test bikes... still chasing after 7 months.
I'll be upgrading from the Ntorq race xp to my first bike. This bike will only be for long highway rides and not daily commutes, I love going fast and have 20000+ km experience of riding on highways. What would you guys suggest, the 250 or the 390 ? I want a bike that goes blisteringly fast and has great sense of rawness to it. I dont want a well tamed motorcycle that does not allow me to correct my mistakes.
390
Please make video on cbr300r and tvs rtr 310
I never missed out any of your motorcycle related videos... Just spot on and precisely informative.
My question is: I need a bike preferably 250-400 CC for touring, I currently own a Yamaha FZ-S (153CC) 2010 model and did 1000kms/day run multiple times comfortably but it feels a bit slow certainly for highway runs.
My list consists of in order of what my heart says :
Honda CB 300R
Triumph Scrambler 400x
Suzuki V-Strom 250
Duke 250
And I'm so soo confused. Please enlighten me 😇😇
Get the Karizma zma
We would invert it… 😬
@@motorinc so Gurujis refer Duke 250 as a best touring machine out of my preferences... 🙃
I'm always sceptical about reliability of KTMs
Get the Suzuki then! See our review again for the reasons why 😊
Lol, I knew this clip was a whole another video!😂
Excellent summary 🫡
Thanks!
Please start comparing bike also because in 2.5 lakhs there are plenty of options please suggest which bike is for which kind of person.
Duke 200 or Duke 250 which one to buy?
My 2013 dohc is still going good without engine failure and 2,50,000+ kms. Although meter condole has been changed.
Wow! That’s a lot! Awesome to know that!
😅😂😂 stop spamming around. In another video you have mentioned 1,23,000. That too just before 4 days comment was made.😂😂😂.
@@3rdclasstatamahindrabajajREtvs kb bhai.. 1 lakh kbka cross kr chuki hai. Mere south trip jo 12000kms ki solo ride thi 2016 tk hi 1 lakh cross ho chuka tha.
Review is excellent,can you guys make a review on Apache RTR 310
Can do!
Can we expect a comparo between the most underrated sf250 vs others, too confused for my upcoming bike😅???????????
Loved everything about the new Duke 250 except those tank shrouds!! Sometimes the KTM designers get carried away just to make their bike look a lot sharper!!
Again.. and again… and again…
@@motorinc really sorry but these things just pop out first!! What can I do? Just can't ignore it!! 🤣😂😅😝
Rating is 9 🌟..dint told about Vibration and engine issues..
Hi bro please review honda cb 350 😊
Loved the video n the summary, I bought hunter 350 around 6 months back but I feel like I have grown out of it and it feels too lazy and boring now. I test rode duke 250 and felt happy with the power and brakes. I have been thinking of switching to duke 250 but worried what if i get bored of it too after some months. Or shall I just buy the 390... bit scary proposition however it might be more fun.
The 250 won't get boring in a hurry for sure, Abheet, but sure, consider a 390 if you must. It's A LOT FASTER and quicker than your Hunter so be careful!
@@motorinc Appreciate your response back. Thank you for such awesome content and guidance.
I know that this is out of topic but I just wanted to know any if there is any off-road trail near or in Mumbai please do respond will be much appreciated
And of course it's 10 out of 10 😁
There are places to go ride. We would recommend connecting with riders who are already doing this. You should have someone along.
congrats for 200k
Thank you for getting us here!
Nice video - Is the TFT white and black OR white and grey? 🙂I have not seen it in the real world
It's meant to by b/w but it always looks like dark grey text on light grey
Keep it up Guys
Thanks!
please do a review on honda CB300R
Noted!
I never owned a bike before since i always rode activa and i was planning to buy this, should i go for it?
Yes! It'll be a great step up and it's fast but not fast either. Best of luck Yuvraj!
I have been waiting for this and then you said wait until June 😢😢😢 why but oh hey I know and it makes sense. The only thing remaining is whether I would be able to keep that long patience 🤞
Use the time to save up - for riding gear, plan a long ride, and research your next set of tyres. Lots to do! 😁
I feel the Dominar 250 is a much more VFM if someone's looking for a do it all motorcycle, who cannot afford the 390.
Compared to the 250D?
How about its braking specs & performance?
Kartikeya 9/10 🔥
Ahh! Thanks!
Sir, can you please make a video on ultraviolet F99.
Not until we ride it for sure
waiting for comparison review between cb300r vs duke 250
Thanks for the suggestion!
Have been riding Gixxer 155 for 9 years now. Is it good enough to update to 250 or is it good to go for 390? Am gonna be selling Gixxer. Will only keep one bike. City/long rides are 60/40. But I usually go for rides of 400km every other week in Gixxer. So longest would be 600km. Love longer rides but time constraints. Please give your opinion.
Should be good, it’s got the similar to Gixxer good-naturedness about it.
Is it good for long distance touring with pillion ?
If you want to travel with a pillion - the adventure would be better.
I would rate the summary 10/10, he was not like you Shumi, full bucket of sarcasm for Himalayan. 😅
Fine next time well as him to add sarcasm for a 11/10 score. 😆
I'm a beginner rider , i have previous experience of riding 160 cc and a few 200 cc bikes , I'm looking for a bike for myself and I'm slightly confused between the 250 duke and the speed 400 . Both these are relatively gentle than the 390 , I don't want 390 kinda power . What would practically be a good pick for me .
Test ride them out only then you can find out
@@chandansoren8002 Fair enough..
Agree with Chandan!
Is SOHC setup for cost cutting?
Tractability for better city commuting
V storm 250... How does it perform when compared with KTM Duke 250... Is it the same or any difference.
Totally opposite.
Duke is super exciting to ride +performance is brilliant. Vstrom cannot compare to this model.
@@3rdclasstatamahindrabajajREtvs dull engine always buzzing... And pickup not that great... Struggling low end... All this comment from KTM owner .. don't just follow the herd... Ride for some distance then come to conclusions....
@@neeraj880108 🌚 its high revv engine. Torque output is at peak of revv range. How do you expect torque in low end ? What sort of logic it is ?
Not barking by reading the spec sheet. Took vstrom for 250 kms ride. Rental one.
Then took duke 250 after 1 month from the same rental company.
Buzzing engine of course. It's not as smooth as Japanese engine.
Pickup is brutal.
Nice
👍🏽
Hi shumi and kartik ...just want you ask about yamaha ...what you think about yamaha marketing strategy in India...😊😊😊😊😊 Why they only have 4 bike....
What strategy?
@@motorinc as Mt3 and R3 #Overpriced I don't understand why #yamaha is not studying market or they having strategy not to sole products in wrong hand as ktm is suffering is that so?
What reasons will justify buyin duke 250 over speed 400?
Speed 400 is ultimate machine
Low end and mid range torque of this machine is unmatched
Please suggest between CB300R, Speed400, Duke250, RTR310
What kind of a bike do you want?
@@motorinc mostly city bike(fast engaging bike) and Sunday ride with pillion
Try the last three from your list and ping us?
want comparison on speed 400 ,dominar 400 and duke 250
Noted! Any specifics you have in mind?
When you said, it will not get scary, what does it mean? I was riding CBZ for 3-4 years and not riding a bike for around 20 years. I am looking for a bike (90% city ride) in bangalore and seriously considering duke 390 or 390 adventure. I’ll keep the vehicle for a min 10 years and would like the vehicle to grow with me. Your comment “scary” is making me think about KTMs. Could you please elaborate.
The 390's power is explosive and it's a relentlessly aggressive machine. The 250 is not like that. It's pretty fast etc but never super-aggressive
MotorInc, Now that the bikes priced around 3lakh are overcrowded, Please do a camparo video of the same !
Gotcha.
Please review Honda H'ness 350 also... Plz plz plz
Chasing Honda for test bikes for 7 months now. 🤷🏽♂️
@@motorincohh, I hope they give you the bike soon.
@@motorincplease review the new jawa 42 dual tone and the new yezdi roadster retold...
Is Duke 250 an update for someone riding a pulsar bs3 220F???
The handling and responsiveness- yes! Performance - to some extent. But not a big step.
Guys shud i upgrade from duke 125 gen 1 to 250 or 390 , riding my 125 since 4yrs
I want a more powerful bike, not satisfied with the 125cc since am evn taking my bike up the hills
Aprilia sr 160 is old and sales are all time low at 300unit per month. Aerox has shown people are buying higher segment scooter at 2000unit per month. Do you think aprilia will bring sr gt 200 to capture on adventure category rather than take back performance title from aerox? Can you make a video on why companies are so shy on 150cc scooters. We scooter lover have no upgrade from 125cc segment.
Aprillia fault tbh
What's the point of buy a 10% better product when the practicality is nerfed by much
Let them fail
But brother if the price is above 1.6 lac none gonna buy it
👍🏽
@@chandansoren8002 vespa 150 is above 1.5 and reach 1.7 ex show room. More expensive than aerox still doing better than both aerox and sr 160. I think people want more on 150cc segment. For more price people want bigger engine, bigger underseat storage to store full face helmet bigger fuel tank and more bigger dominating body. Sr 160 fulfill only bigger engine, everything else is normal scooter and with less features. Aerox success shows people are willing to pay more if upgrade is significant one.
@@motorinc please make a video on 150 segment. Nmax 155, pcx, adv 160, sr gt 200. Discuss how company should change their mindset that scooter people only carry cylinder.
10/10
🙏🏾
Why you guys are not reviewing on Apache RTR 310????
TVS hasn’t provided a test bike as yet.
Can we Get a Honda NX500 review ! I am dying to buy one
Awaiting word on the test bike, AnimeOtakuArt!
Same price point with honda cb300r ..which is better
Unfortunately we haven’t tested it so we can’t say just yet 🤷🏽♂️
Shall I consider buying 250 Duke after having RTR200 for 120k kms or go for 390 Duke
390! But take time to get used to it. Every new road. The rains. The cold. Feel it first before you push. All the best!

9.5 out of 10. Karthik is clearly not as big a fan of KTM as Shumi is
😁

We’ll take it! What would you like us to add to get a 10/10 next time?
Ps do you think its too soon in production. Should i wait few months? Been sort of waiting 9 months since stopped making yamaha 250.
I may spray the wings 😂.
Hey! We do suggest you wait at least until February. It's just a short wait what we believe will increase the chance of a happy and trouble-free ownership
@@motorinc I will take that advice. Thanks. He said January would be new "batch" buy they will have to offload the old ones 😃. Pongal will have all the parents out buying lazy sons a new toy and clear the backlog 😅.
8/10...can i just suggest to make this show like top gear..don do it fast ..do it steadily...start reviewing old bikes...would pay to see it.
