Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which bike is better between Pulsar RS200, R15 V3 and 200 Duke?
  • It depends on who you are and how you ride...R15 - Too committed posture. Will suit for track, not for long rides. Daily commuting is also bit hard.Duke - agile, nimble, great technology, now bs6 had improved stability and braking but not recommended as your first bike.RS - best for long rides ( among these three ). Good stability. Also very reliable( remember the heart is from KTM ).
  • Though in different category..Duke 200 dies most of the things r15 v3 does...if you need a raised sports bike with adequate power r15 v3 bs6 is my choice too....somehow long term reliability of rs 200 is doubtful...opinions invited..please

Q. Is this more comfortable than Duke 200 and also in maintenance - Pulsar RS200?
  • No on City the pocket rocket Duke 200 is the comfortable bike coz of its upright position.It is very nimble, Head deception is also good when comparing to previous gen Dukes.. But on Highway crusing and stability RS200 Rocks. Maintenance of Duke is too high thanks to Bajaj RS has lesser maintenance
  • RS is more comfortable than RC 200 but less comfortable than duke 200.But if we talk about maintenance RS demands less than a duke 200.
  • Its way too comfortable then duke ,rc, r15

Q. Which one is the best KTM 200 Duke or KTM 250 Duke in terms of mileage and service cost?
  • The Duke 200 will have better mileage because of the smaller engine, service cost should be similar, however since Duke 200 has a fiber tank versus the metal tank on duke 250, Duke 200 should be cheaper to repair if you crash the bike or have an accident.
  • Service cost is somewhat similar, 200 is economical and there is not much difference in power output, mileage is obviously more on 200.
  • City use mailage low Service cost duke 200Highway use touring.. Mailage 30 or below 30 top end good sliper clutch

  • this bike is an awesome choice.you get a lot of things that includes good power, suspension, braking and damn good looks.Earlier i thought that its service cost will be high but that is very reasonable.i am using my bike since 2 years and to now it has not got any issues with it.Everything about this bike seems so good.Perfect for the streets and comfortable on long rides.I would like to say one thing at last.GIVE LOVE AND CARE TO THIS ENGINE AND IT WILL NEVER BETRAY YOU.

  • Well pulsar the perfect beginner package I would say . It has a great high range but if you don't reach there much it can be used as a normal commuter bike but if you wanna roar through the streets you have the power band from 6000 rpm all the way to the red line there it's a beast .I love Rs specially for the riding posture and the top speed.

Pulsar RS200 User Reviews
  • Really worth the price . The ride quality and its performance is just awesome. The mileage is good in respect to a 200cc motorcycle. I really loved it. 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. 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. 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. I will recommend any below 5.5ft height should avoid choosing KTM bikes. Though below 5.5 ft height guys can drive the bike but its very difficult to cope up. I got a mileage of 40 kmpl on my daily commuits.The bike itself is a Beast. I love what ever i have got from ktm at the price point neglecting the height factor. I really love it.#Get Duked#Ready To Race

  • Excellent value for money motorcycle. This bike is an all rounder for any occasion , be it track days or touring or daily commutes ; this bike carries all the tasks with ease and tonnes of excitement when you twist your wrist. Maintenance is decent, it can feel expensive but the time intervals are at least 10000 Kms or Yearly wise. Cost can go up incase you crash the bike but parts are not too expensive or too cheap , they are always available at the SVCs. A wonderful package still and will not disappoint you if you're considering to get one.

  • Zero parts failure for two years so far. Great torque and responsiveness. My inseam at 840mm is perfect for the seat height.It has no ABS and I thought that would be a great feature to have and felt it should have been standard equipment for the price of the bike. I'm very impressed by the stock mrf tires so i changed to pirelli's after about 250 km.

  • KTM's all bikes designs are very attractive and futuristic. Duke200's engine performance is very good. But the pillion seat is just small. It is not comfortable for dual. It is very good under 200 variant bikes in India. It is very nice bike.
