KTM engine sound is not pleasant

I have a 2 year old ktm buke. Worst bike when it comes to maintenance. Spare parts are very costly. . One or the other spare part is gone in every 2months. Any spare part replacement will cost you anywhere between 1500 - 8000 and service will cost 3500-6000.
If you still wanna buy the bike then be ready to pay more to spares then you pay for petrol.

KTM duke max torque is 19.2 nm at 8000rpm where as karizma r new model torque is 19.35 nm at just 6000 rpm ,so how can we say ktm is better than karizma in pick up ?ktm has max power of 24.2hp at 10000rpm .karizma power is 19.85 hp at just 7500rpm .it is not safty to run bike beyond 100kmph .with karizma r we can beat 100kmph at the earlier stage than ktm or any other bike of 225 cc sector.customers normally goes at 80 to 110kmph .we can achiev that range of speed easily at low rpm with less effort on karizma r .we dont need speed of 140 and above .if we want it is better to go for KAR/CAR .Max speed of ktm is 138 max speed of karizma r is 126. it is 12kmph more.even its design speed is 126 it goes beyond that up to 140kmph .unfortunately hero compny launched new model and forced to close the production due to poor sales since new model is rejected by commuterse.sports sports so what about bikes of 10 to 30 lakhs?

Top speed is very low my bikes give 135 only how to increase

The review about the " Comfort while Driving ", is just a Blunt Lie. This bike is for sure not at all comfortable. The funniest thing about the review made in this website for comfort level for most of the Indian bike, is that they say " This bike provides optimum comfort the rider". LOL.
One thing needs to be considered on all the bikes are safety and comfort, which will have a direct affect on the riders handling capability.

The comfortable bikes launched in India is Hero Xtreme, Hunk, Karisma R, Honda CBR250R, Bajaj avenger, Royal Enfield bullet series, suzuki gs150r, yamaha fazer and Honda Stunner.

The bikes that are either stiff or uncomfortable are Pulsar 150, 180 ( pulsar 220 is some what ok, i have tested with my cousins bike ), TVS bikes, Yamaha FZ16, R15, Kawasaki ninja 250cc (bike is heavy, u can feel the weight in the handle bar) and KTM 200 Duke.

It is hard to forget the uncomfortable seat position, even bike has the best pickup and handling compared to other 180cc and 200 cc indian bikes, due to my high expectation on this bike, as it is an imported model.

Had a test run last year end.

cons - The seat position is extremely sporty, making the posture uncomfortable, and gives lot of strain and pain to the back, and it is hard to remain on the bike after 30 mins. Small pillion seat. Engine heats up too much after 30 mins.

Pros - The only thing that is best is the pickup, handling, nice cornering and perfect grunt that makes this bike to rev very well.

I wonder how come a high quality bike has a minus point in seating comfort and posture.

none of d bikes mostly seen on roads stand against duke 390

I loved every feature of this nike. But I still have one question, can this bike give mileage of 35 or between 35-40 ??? If ya, what are the riding & maintainence requirements ??

duke is one of the awsome bikes

How many times does a GPS satellite rotate each day

how can I purchase this bike at this website ?

KTM 390 is enough to beat Ninja 300. It came in half price of Ninja

Indian guys are really ignorant to talk about Top speed for Off road bike and then compare with other race bikes....Ha Ha Ha......Only Indians have a peculiar kind of creative attitute by checking top speed by Drag racing with different types of bikes(KTM Duke 200 Vs Yamaha R15, Pulsar 220 ...etc - Check Youtube)
KTM Duke is an Off road bike(people who have not seen Off road dirt bike racing, check Youtube) and people compete this bike with sports bike like Yamaha R15, FZ series, Honda CBR.............well kind of funny with these kind of comments people make of after comparison. A true racer will use the right kind of bike for that particular type of Race.
Well why should we have bikes to just show off, why not enjoy its perfromance and its features. Those who have KTM bikes, have a fun ride. Those who want to compare KTM with other bikes, make a reasonable comparison.

very light wieght bike,................

good bike nice handling

good bike dude

the bike is extremely new for Indians. Yes, we have seen bikes like Yamaha FZ before which also carry the naked looks but the premium touch and appeal of this bike makes it one of its kinds. Starting from its front, the bike has very slim headlight with no visor. The front mudguard is also short and simple in size but its big telescopic forks, disk plate and wider tyre makes it look macho. The bike has very small body panels. The tank is big and uplifted and sports Duke on it. The rear mudguard is very sporty and along with its fatty tyre, the bike can hold your attention easily. Small tail light is very simple and its black coloured grab rails and clear lens indicators also complement the overall styling.

Instrument Console of KTM 200 Duke

KTM promotes the instrument console of Duke as cockpit which features a digital speedometer, odometer, trip meter and fuel gauge. This cockpit also has some LED indicators. The bike uses orange coloured back light in its instrument console. The instrument console is not easily readable and apart from its speedometer, you will have to search for other things in it as it compromises on space.

Engine and Gearbox of KTM 200 Duke

KTM 200 Duke uses a single-cylinder, liquid- cooled 200cc engine. This 4-stroke, DOHC engine is very powerful as it churns out a maximum power output of 25 bhp at 10000 rpm.

The power to weight ratio of this bike is incredible due to its lightweight. This bike performs best after 4000rpm and till 10000rpm; there is nothing which will disturb you. The torque production is also satisfactory which reduces frequent gear shifting. The bike easily picks up in any gear and even with a pillion rider; you can easily overtake most of the bikes on highways. It’s a perfect option for highway cruising. Even if you take this bike off road, the high amount of torque is available very early which confirms you a pleasant ride. Take it on any terrain and you will be surprised to see the power delivery of this bike. Its short gear ratios, light weight and responsive engine make it perfect for those who know and like to perform stunts. The bike has something for everyone.

Hi I will love to buy one duke 200 cc I still want ur phone number I will like to call u n to know how I can pay for it my mail, [email protected]

man what a sporty bike !

this is copy model of fz....

Many people will be judging this bike according to its looks, performance etc, but trust me once you get a hold of this monster you no longer control it, it will grab control over your wrists. this beast sure does love revving up. the pillion is quite small i agree, but what the heck, a single setback isnt enough to counter the tons of advantages. the mileage i get from this beast it 30-35kmpl and be sure to use 91 grade octane petrol as prescribed by ktm for better performance. Once you get on the bike, it wont let you get of soon. LOVE IT!!!!!!1

superrrrrrrrr
