My bike completed only 2526kms and engine head gasket leaked. Service done by KTM authorized service center. I am very disappointed

Best Features: Only sound

Pros: Looks, power

Cons: My bike complete only 2526kms and engine head gasket leaked

The bike has Got everything a rider wants. You can take it for touring and as well as for daily commute. The bike has so much power stored in it. Everyone is seeing its competition with ninja 300 and Yamaha r3 but if you see there prices are nearly double of it and they are twin cylinder bikes and this one is single cylinder bike . The heating problem is due to the single cylinder as the bike has too powerful engine with single cylinder but if you see the performance than this bike has got way too much than its rivals. If you want sporty looks with abs safety and high performance this one is for you.

Best Features: Console, Ride by Wire.

Pros: Ride By Wire, Abs , Brakes, Console, Looks, Build Quality, Power, and everything

Cons: Heating Problem and Mileage

KTM has built a good bike, but it's too aggressive look and can't hold more interest for long time. Good bike for superbike beginners

Best Features: TFT display, led headlamp, orange color, look, sound,

Pros: Value for money, power, pickup, design, metzler tyres

Cons: Seat height, not comfortable, low fuel tank, poor customer service (not all the places).

Had waited long, but ultimately had launched in India !! By going what's in the paper, it seems like it won't fall short in performance and will be a good investment!! Also not to mention, the waiting period for the Duke 390 is too bit longer as that of Duke 250 & 200,which will be available from 8th of March.

Best Features: TFT info screen, Slipper Clutch, Ride By Wire, LED Headlamps, Adjustable suspension arms !!

Pros: Overhauling design from the previous generation Duke 390. Looks will remain appealing for the coming 4 to 5 years.

Cons: The waiting period of the Duke 390 is more then 1 month after booking too. Price increases in different states, so have to go deep into pockets!!

I ride this 300 cc monster each and every day in my life since I bought it, just local errands about 40 to 50 kms everyday, even though everyone talks about the riding posture and all that, for a person height above 6 feet and above... It's gonna be the most perfect bike for you. Even though it takes your energy, due to its race posture, you gotta learn how to hold the belly of the bike and ride, that way it becomes easy. As the cons I mentioned: little tank, vibration due to less engine refinement, flat seat, no slipper clutch (in 2014 models). It's the bike for anyone and everyone to ride and learn before you proceed to higher capacity vehicles, so that you know how to control your mind speed, and to ride responsibly. This is true, applause to KTM for bringing such an awesome bike as this to India.

Best Features: Strong motor, even though it's a single 373cc cylinder, you gotta ride one of these.

Pros: Performance, riding posture for those track days, informative digital console.

Cons: Riding posture in terms of versatility or DAILY use. Vibs like hell, you can even say it's a sporty royal Enfield. FUEL tank: I gotta full my tank every 2 days, just gets boring

Bike is good looking, great handling bike, because of its light weight easy to manure in traffic. - Performance: Good 25 bhp power output. Normally power output is more at high rpm's, when you reach high rpm's at lowers gears. Due to low gear ratio, bike tend to take little time to get max speed at 6th gear. but for a 200cc bike, power output is considerably great. - Handling: Great handling. MRF tires have good grip. Good for corners and normal speeds. - Braking: Brakes are good. ABS option could have been better. Tires tend to lock at high speed braking. MRF's work good while slow speed breaking. Brake calipers make sounds when dust accumulates. A good water spray on brakes can eliminate the sound sometimes.. - Comfort: Optimum as seat is more hard. But you will get adjusted to it over time. Pillion riders will not be happy with the rear seat. Ride quality is stiffer. Good for city and highway rides. Suspension: Rear mono-shock can be adjusted slightly. Front WP suspension works good. - Fuel capacity- Well tank is small compared to other bikes. only 11 lts capacity. With efficiency of 30-35kmpl. Good optimum efficiency. - Seat height: Good for people taller than 5.6ft. But I have seen people shorter also riding comfortably. - Bike is good overall. With optimum fuel efficiency. Just be noted at the time of hard breaking, due to lack of ABS, light weight and tires lock, controlling the bike might be a night mare sometimes. - Suspension should have been more efficient, not good for people who weigh more and ride as a pillion rider. Cooling system could have been more efficient, but over heating can be avoided by changing the gears at correct rpm's. Not revving the bike too high. - Also more appreciated if the plastic used of good quality.

Best Features: Sporty, gear indicator, temperature meter, distance to empty indicator, time.

Pros: Bike has great street look, light weight, good power band.

Cons: Poor finish with switches and plastic parts.

RC is the best bike for youth with short gearing and fast revving motor, it gives just fun more than other bikes

Best Features: Gear position indicator to average speed; and all digital unit

Pros: Power delivery is high

Cons: Low mileage

The KTM Duke 200 is a light weight naked sports bike. Last year, I bought the KTM Duke 200. It is best in class and offers good mileage. Its light weight makes it easy to ride and handle as it is easily driven in any situation. The fuel tank is small. A slightly bigger fuel tank would have been appreciated. The pillion seat is not comfortable for short and long rides.

Best Features: Light Weight

Pros: Acceleration, Handling, Brakes

Cons: Pillion Seat uncomfortable, Seat Height, Small Fuel Tank

The KTM 390 Duke is a wonderful bike. It delivers an awesome riding experience and it takes no time at going higher speeds. The handling is quite good but it takes me some time to get used to it. On the clear roads there are no any engine issues but in the case of traffic jam, it heats up pretty quick. One more thing which goes against the bike is its horn and headlight. I would recommend to change the headlights and increase the horn intensity so that you stay safe.

Best Features: Ease in Handling and Looks

Pros: Appearance, Easy gear shifting, Handling

Cons: Weak horn & headlights, Lack of storage for kit/papers, Engine heating

The KTM 390 Duke is a beast of motorcycle. It is light weight and you can handle it comfortably. The most important thing is that it generates a good torque value which makes your journey enjoyable on streets and safe om highways. Look wise it is quite attractive which will definitely encourage you to buy it. It has a great engine which offers more power in comparison to other beginner bikes. The braking system is quite impressive which is the standout feature of this bike. Coming to the downside, you will notice that the fuel tank capacity is quite low where cannot expect long tours. The clutch is too heavy and the quality of wheels are also not good. On the other hand, the throttle response of this machine is rough, especially at low rev ranges. The another issue with this bike is engine oil which sometimes starts leaking which reduces the oil level.

Best Features: Excellent Brakes & Eye Catching Looks

Pros: Eye catching looks, powerful engine, excellent brakes, light weight

Cons: Low fuel tank capacity, heavy clutch, rough throttle, bad wheel quality, engine oil problem

KTM RC 390 is an eye catcher. The bike has done a good job in the handling department. It performs well at tracks and not in cities. The looks has been on of the most important feature of this sporty bike and of the significant reasons why it become an instant hit. The twin DRLs are another appealing feature of this machine. The build quality is quite good and digital console is also very informative. Coming to the cons, the riding comfort is not good for long distance rides. Being a single cylinder, the engine vibrates a lot at low rpms. (mainly on the 1,2 and 3rd gears. This type of sound can irritate you. If you're expecting a smooth engine than it is not a deal for you. Another drawback is that its fuel tank capacity is low so you have to be careful while going for long rides.

Best Features: Sylish & Good Build Quality

Pros: Informative digital console, stylish, good handling, good build quality

Cons: Inappropriate rider seat, low fuel tank capacity, vibrations

For the very first time when I saw this bike on Google I fell in love with the combination of performance and styling. It gives out a decent mileage of 25 kmpl in cities and 40 kmpl on highways. I feel the riding comfort is not good for long distance rides. Overall my experience with it is good. I feel proud to own this bike as people gets attracted towards it. I love the color combination too.

Best Features: Performance and styling

Pros: Super Sporty, Comfortable Handling, Light wheels

Cons: Slow acceleration, Single cylinder stroke engine, Sound at idle, Tyres

I got my RC390 in April, 2015 after a waiting period of 8 weeks. And believe me, I was so crazy for this bike that I don't even take its test drive before booking. There is no doubt, it holds aggressive looks and riding position. The day I took delivery of the bike I got wrist pain after 15 mins drive only. It comes to life after 4000 rpm and once you cross this mark, it will show you actual colors. Overall, I can say if you want to own this bike make your wrist strong enough to carry its weight.

Best Features: Style and Design

Pros: Powerful engine, Informative digital console, Styling, Handling

Cons: Rider seat, Fuel tank capacity, Exposed components like wires and brake fluid reservoir

Best Features: Power of 25 bhp..somebody told me that RC200 top speed is 136 kmph..when I bought my RC200 I want test this...4may 12.30pm...on highway my RC200 runs at the speed of 148km/hr.

Pros: Look performance and the dazzling style

Cons: Uncomfortable pillon seat

Few months back I bought this bike and I was amazed with its performance. Talking about its positive features I felt it is light in weight and can be easily maintained but at the same time the drawback lies here the it has small fuel tank capacity for which I have to land to the petrol station every second day. It gives out a top speed of 135 kmph. Through experience I feel that it is best suited for short cit run in comparison to highway ride. It has excellent build quality. The minor issues when noticed, people complaint for the thunderous sound of horn that is pretty scary. I noticed that the bike's pillion seat is quite uncomfortable.

Best Features: Superb Performance

Pros: Easy maintenance, Amazing performance, Comfort, Light-weight, Stylish

Cons: Less fuel tank capacity, Inappropriate seat height, uncomfortable pillion seat.

The Duke 200 is my metal panther. That's what i call this bike. Riding it on city roads or heavy traffic is so much fun, you can easily zip through in the busy traffic. I own an Orange colored Duke and I remember when I bought it, around 20 people inquired me on my way home from showroom. In beginning I felt uncomfortable because of the seat height and position but later I became used to it. But yes sometimes its low fuel tank capacity and uncomfortable pillion seat annoys me.

Best Features: Appearance and Mileage

Pros: Aggressive Style and Notoriety, Light in weight, Excellent graphics, Good mileage

Cons: Fragile Front Fork Seals (Oil Leakage), No Resale Value, Low Fuel Level, Stiff Seat

This is the best bike I have seen which offers a superb look and performance. Long journeys may not be its cup of tea and the low exhaust might create some problems in the monsoons, but then again it does have the highest ground clearance in its class. But surely it is a power packed performer that will never disappoint you.

Best Features: Stylish & Comfortable

Pros: Lightweight, good comfort, sharp handling, stylish, highly refined and smooth engine

Cons: Less fuel tank capacity, less authorised service centres, unsuitable for pillion riders, low exhaust

The bike feels tends to feel a bit underpowered under 3000 rpm...so the best way to ride this bike is to make the most of its mid-range...the power delivery is just amazing i mean after 7000 rpm it just goes boom....handling wise its really flick-able and a corner with an RC really comes in the picture.. And ABS which makes this bike one of the safest bikes to ride fast in India right now.. things I didn’t like about the bike are firstly the vibrations below 3000-4000 rpms....secondly the radiator fan i mean it’s too loud....third is the fuel tank i mean come on only 9.5 l for a 373cc bike. ......to sum it up i would say that… it’s a thorough breed committed super sport machine made to make u feel like a racer and engineered to probably make u one!!!! Ride safe!!! Cheers

Best Features: Well equipment like ABS, Handling characteristics etc

Pros: Track focused, cornering machine, excellent equipment

Cons: Vibrations, loud radiator fan
