Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Does KTM 125 Duke worthy of money as in this price range we get 150cc or 200 cc bikes? Actually I am confused between Duke 125 and Gixxer SF 150?
  • Not answer this is my question if u get duke 125 in 1.40 or something than why did u not got another high cc power bike in same price
  • Gixxer gives additional power with decent mileage.
Q. Which is better bike Duke 200 or Duke 125?
  • Both are completely different from each other.. As they both built on same platform and use of same parts the handling is similar.. If need power blindly go for duke 200 it is the best revving engine in the low end... Need a mileage with ktm looks then go for Duke 125... If your on budget & planning for duke 125 instead go for the Pulsar 200 NS it makes more sense then buying of same priced duke 125
  • Duke 200 is the best if you need the power.. duke 125 isn't the best in performance ... to make it simple Duke 200 gives you good low end power with avg mileage of 28-33 kmpl sometimes 35kmpl if you are not hard on throttle... Duke 125 doesn't have such power but has the ktm DNA and dynamics as it was built on same duke 200 platform but due to high low cc you'll getting a good mileage of 45kmpl
  • If you want performance Duke 200 is the one.But if mileage concerns you aswell its better to opt for Duke 125. Looks wise both are dashing and palatable eye candy.

    This bike looking is very 

    This bike looking is very nice but not good head light.I think it could have been better.The big problem this bike is it's mileage.Not good mileage in comparison r15.And over pricing bike.But ktm body quality is very good.I hope ktm company will also improve some of these problems.

    Ride quality 

    Really worth the price the ride quality and it's performance it just awesome.The mileage is good in respect to a 125cc 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 struggle while taking you turns and at traffic single stop otherwise every thing is fine.Further i could lower the seat height adjusting suspension setup but the service centre 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 result in accident.I kept it as it 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 5.5 ft height should avoid choosing the ktm bikes.Though below 5.5 ft height guys can drive the bike but it very defficult to cope up.I got a mileage of 40 kmpl on my daily commits.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.
