Guys, today i am going to review about one of the trendind bike in present day that is the KTM DUKE 200.This is one of the most powerful bike in its class.Many youngsters prefer this bike bcoz of its naked styling and the great powerful sound of its engine.The Bajaj-KTM launched this bike in earlier 2012 and it was accepted by the customers due to its macho and sporty looks and performance.The bike is more than a 200cc engine bcoz it delivers a maximum power of 25bhp which is huge compared to any other 200cc bikes in the present day market.The ex-showroom price of KTM DUKE 200 is around Rs.1,30,000.
The design of this bike is very attractive and it is not familiar before.We are only familiar with the naked styling of yamaha FZ.But duke has got some extra exteriors and with its minimised parts this bike attracts most of the people with its name duke printed on the fuel tank.The fuel tank is slightly uplifted for providing a sporty look and thus enables the rider to ride in a sportier way.This bike has got a small headlight without visors.It also has wider tyres which makes it look masculine.
ENGINE
The duke has got a 4-stroke liquid cooled 4valve 200cc engine which delivers a maximum power of 25bhp at 10000rpm.The bike has got a 6-speed gearbox with 1down and 5up pattern.This gearbox is super slick and has not reported and problems so far by its users.This powerful engine is very useful to riders who wants a performance ride.And thus this engine serves them the best.The bike can reach the speed from 0 - 100km/hr in just 9 seconds.And also this bike can reach a maximum speed of 135km/hr.This bike has a greater pickup and can be speed up in any gear and this offers greater confidence to the rider to overtake other vehicles.
The bike has got a big 280mmdisc brake in front and 230mm disc brake at the rear.It has got a telescopic upside down fork at the front and monoshock at the back.Thus this bike bike provides a graeter safety to the rider by providing a greater brakes and suspension to this bike.Considering its safety being it has got a small headlight but this light has a focused clear light and this is also a added feature of this bike.
MILEAGE
This bike delivers a mileage of 28 kmpl in cities and can expect an increase of upto 5kmpl in highways.This is accepted bcoz of its powerful engine and mainly bcoz the main motto of this bike to deliver a maximum performance.
RIDING COMFORT
The bike has got a front biased seating position to make you feel sportier.The rider foot pegs are placed to rear to make make you feel your thighs placed firmly on the fuel tank.But the pillion seating is a bit uncomfortable bcoz of its small seats.
INSTRUMENT CONSOLE AND OTHER FEATURES
