For everyday use, how does KTM Duke 200 compare to its bigger sibling, Duke 390?

The KTM Duke 200 and Duke 390 are both very popular in the small displacement motorcycle market, but they serve slightly different riders and different rider needs and preferences. The Duke 390 has more power and features, but the Duke 200 is often lauded for its lighter weight and its potential for being a little more manageable for new riders. Considering factors like fuel efficiency, maintenance costs, and insurance rates (in combination with the riding experience), these two models obviously cannot be compared by the objective parameters. While some riders feel the Duke 200 is good enough for city riding, others feel they need the extra power of the 390. In this post, we will look at the pros and cons of each model from the point of view of everyday usability: commuting, weekend rides, and overall ownership experience.
