Is KTM Duke 125 RC a double-seat motorcycle? Is the seat adjustable?
02 January 2023 06:38
The KTM RC 125 is a two-seater motorcycle. Infact, every RC series KTM motorcycle is a two-seater, be it 125, 200 or 390.
However, the seat is fixed and cannot be adjusted.
This is what KTM says about RC125 seat "The two-part seat offers first class supersport ergonomics with perfect support for rider and pillion. With a seat height of 820mm it enables the rider to have a secure stand while also being high enough for sporty use and real big-bike feeling."
Which is a better brand in 250cc category: KTM or Benelli?
02 January 2023 06:37
KTM is a better brand when compared in the terms of better performance and overall value for money for the lightweight motorcycling products. KTM internationally offers 125, 200, 250 and 390 cc motorcycles in the lightweight sport segment whereas Benelli only has 250 cc TNT 25 in the same segment. Benelli will soon develop a 150 cc motorcycle but any of the bike from Benelli’s single cylinder range cannot compete with the same size KTM bike.
Launch Date of KTM RC 390 (2016 upgraded model)?
02 January 2023 06:37
The 2016 KTM RC390 has been launched in India on 10 February, 2016. The bike gets a new slipper clutch, and an always “on” headlight. However, it has missed out on some features available in the European market such as a bigger front disc, a ride-by-wire system and a canister exhaust. The bike's price has remained unchanged at INR 2,13,504 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
Coming to comfort, the bike isn't ideal for daily driving. Firstly because city drives crowded with traffic jams, and the RC390 absolutely hates this, it heats up like crazy. Secondly, the riding position is very aggressive, and the pillion seat is a little uncomfortable. The RC390 is a machine built for the tracks, so unless you're completely mad about the bike, don't use it as a daily commuter.

What will be the major changes for 2017 model KTM Duke 200 or I should go for present model (2016)..?
02 January 2023 06:36
You can go for the present KTM 200 Duke as KTM may not launch the 2017 model in the country anytime soon. The revision will include the addition of ABS to the bike while everything else is expected to be kept the same. The motorcycle is a very good option for everyday riding as it comes with an upright stance as well as a peppy 199.5 cc engine with an urge of acceleration. It currently sells for INR 1,43,000.
Which is the best one: Benelli TNT 300 or KTM Duke 390?
02 January 2023 06:36
KTM Duke 390 is the best bike when compared to Benelli TNT 300. Benelli offers its twin cylinder 300 cc machine with 37.73 BHP and 26.5 NM of torque at a price of INR 2,97,000 whereas a more powerful 373.2 cc engine from KTM provides 43 BHP and 35 NM of torque at INR 1,95,000. KTM Duke is lighter, faster and more precised when it comes to cornering whereas TNT 300 is more like a street inspired sport tourer from its riding style.
What is the price of KTM RC 125 in India?
02 January 2023 06:36
KTM RC125 has no launch plans for the country as KTM will not be able to price the bike properly due to 95 percent part sharing with the elder cousins from the RC family. The RC200 is priced around INR 1,69,000 whereas it’s INR 2,14,000 for the RC390. The INR 45,000 gap between the both is justified by bigger engine, premium tyres, dual channel ABS and a slipper clutch. On the other hand, by providing no such difference, KTM cannot price the bike with another INR 45,000 drop and even if done, the INR 1,24,000 price tag would not justify the 125 cc character of the bike.
Can anyone tell me that Benelli TNT 25 is better than KTM Duke 200 and Honda CBR250R?
02 January 2023 06:36

What is the "AVERAGE" topic in all KTM instrument consoles?
02 January 2023 06:36
KTM bikes show their fuel mileage in a different way and the term average must be related to the average speed of the bike during the current trip. This makes it easy for the bike to present the sum of all speeds like 20 kmph in traffic and 140 kmph on the highway and then dividing the same with the number of kilometers the bike was ridden in the same trip meter reading.
Which one should I buy: KTM RC 125 or Suzuki Gixxer SF Moto GP Edition?
02 January 2023 06:36

KTM125 duke is just a Duke, not a furious bike?
02 January 2023 06:35
The KTM 125 Duke is actually for those who admire the design of KTM Duke series but wishes for a less powerful bike for added practicality.

What is the actual price of KTM RC 125 in Kalyan?
02 January 2023 06:35
KTM RC125 is currently not available in India and the most possible alternate for the same in the country is RC200. The RC series currently sells RC200 and RC390 in the Indian market. RC125 has more chances of launch then all the other 125cc performance motorcycles like Yamaha R125 and Honda CBR125R. The reason behind the same is that KTM do not offer any 150cc motorcycle, which would alter the pricing affair of the 125cc offering whereas other two have a 150cc cousin at an affordable price. Pricing the RC125 around INR 1,25,000 would make the KTM supersport feel more closer than the current generation RC200 priced at INR 1,69,000. The RC125 comes with a 124.7 cc engine producing 14.8 BHP and 12 NM of torque.
Which bike should I buy between KTM RC200 and Bajaj Pulsar RS200 ABS?
02 January 2023 06:35

For regular riding, RS 200 is best whereas if you wish to ride on a track and love high performance, the RC 200 is the best option.
Which one is better - TVS BMW G310R or KTM 390 Duke?
02 January 2023 06:35
KTM 390 Duke is more practical option when compared to the new TVS G310R. It comes with a more powerful 373.2 cc engine producing 43 BHP and 35 NM of torque.

COMPARISON OF HONDA CBR250R ,MAHINDRA MOJO 300 & KTM DUKE 390?
02 January 2023 06:34
The best bike serving all the above listed functions would be the Mahindra Mojo as it comes with a sensible price tag of INR 1,58,000 and performs really well for its actual value. It gets a 294.72 cc engine producing 26.82 BHP and 30 NM of torque. The values are excellent when compared to CBR250R but lacks the charms in front of the bigger Duke 390. The Duke is not an excellent choice for long rides due to its small fuel tank and aggressive riding position. The Mojo gets an outstanding 21 liter of fuel tank and cruises very easily on triple digit speeds. It gets exclusive Pirelli Diablo Rosso 2 tyres and tackles every surface with its excellent front USD as well as rear monoshock suspension.

02 January 2023 06:34
The KTM RC390 can hit a top speed of 210 kmph with the modifications related to its weight reduction and track oriented part exchanges. Firstly, the bike needs to shed some weight, which is done by removing all the additional parts required for a road legal motorcycle. This includes rear foot rests, mirrors, headlights, mudguards and many of the parts are replaced with lighter carbon fiber parts. The heavy exhaust system is also replaced with a free flow exhaust and rest is done through modifications of the ECU, increasing some red-line limit if possible. These modifications are not possible on a real life road as many parts are illegal and track based only.
Please suggest me, which one is good – Bajaj Pulsar RS200, KTM RC 200 or KTM 200 Duke?
02 January 2023 06:34
KTM 200 Duke is the best bike from the three above selected bikes. RC200 is an excellent example of a lightweight sport bike but lacks the comfort of everyday riding with its aggressive seat position. The RS200 is again using the same engine but seems to be lesser refined than its KTM competitors. The 200 Duke presents a perfect combination of power and comfort as it gets a raised handlebar with upright seating position. The things get more better when the 199.5 cc engine produces a max of 24.6 BHP and 19.2 NM of torque. It gets USD forks for better suspension and an attractive price tag of INR 1,38,000.
