please dnt bite your bait by choosing Duke 200. Happy and Safe Riding.ĭuke is not meant for under 60kmph it's all abt riding atleast upto 80 kmph. So, I would suggest you to go for Duke 200 but it'll be your call after all. And one more thing the mileage on the Duke 200 is better than 250 by a slight margin but if you look at it in a long run, it makes a huge difference. If you are just starting to ride(seriously), Duke 200 is a very good bike. About the question, Duke 200 would be a better choice as far as I think.

So you can buy 200cc duke, enjoy your riding and then upgrade to a much higher cc machine like the duke 390 or duke 790 in the future. If you like modifying your machine then you can use that extra 30k to modify your 200cc like adding a fog lamp or changing the mirrors to the bar end which adds to the already sharp and stunning look than just buying a 250cc duke. duke 200 seat height is 20mm lower than 250 which favors you. so you need not worry about mileage because both will provide the same in the end.since the duke200 comes with an underbelly exhaust you will love the exhaust sound (i suppose). the 200 is 30k cheaper than its elder sibling the duke250.i will surely say duke250 will give better mileage when you ride it at 6000 rpm max smoothly. This 200cc machine is no joke and this has some serious pulling power given it is a 200cc engine. If you are a beginner level rider, then Duke200 will be the best choice for you. Which is better for City ride Duke 200 or Duke 250? My daily riding will be of 20Km with an average speed of 50kmph. I really love it.#Get Duked#Ready To Race
I love what ever i have got from ktm at the price point neglecting the height factor. I got a mileage of 40 kmpl on my daily commuits.The bike itself is a Beast.
Though below 5.5 ft height guys can drive the bike but its very difficult to cope up. I will recommend any below 5.5ft height should avoid choosing KTM bikes. I kept it as it is though I am struggling but as time passes I will get accustomed with it and learn the tricks and techniques to control the bike smoothly. Further I could lower the seat height by adjusting suspension setup but the service center told me not to do it as the KTM company has set it by keeping balanced setup any changes in it can make it worse and reasult in a accident. It has a high seat which causes trouble for short riders like me, I am 5.5 ft tall and mostly struggles while taking you turns and at traffic signal stops otherwise every thing is fine. The mileage is good in respect to a 200cc motorcycle. The ride quality and its performance is just awesome. The tyres continue to be the same 110/70-17 front and 150/60-17 MRF REVZ units. Braking is via ByBre 300mm front disc with radially mounted callipers and a 230mm rear disc. It gets premium WP suspension in the form of 43mm upside-down forks and preload-adjustable monoshock. With the new BS6-compliant exhaust, ground clearance has dropped 20mm and is 155mm now. This frame seen on the larger 250 Duke and 390 Duke offers better serviceability and is more affordable to replace in case you damage it in a crash. The KTM 200 Duke gets a new split trellis frame. The 200 Duke BS6 continues to be the most powerful 200cc motorcycle you can buy in India. Given that the 200 Duke BS6 weighs 9kg more than its BS4 predecessor, expect a slight dip in overall performance. The BS6-compliant motor sees no drop in performance and continues to deliver the same 25PS at 10,000rpm and 19.2Nm at 8000rpm. Power comes from a 199cc liquid-cooled and fuel-injected DOHC, 4-valve motor.
