Q. Is it worth to spend 1.5 Lac on DUKE 125 CC?? Duke 125 is more comfortable than MT15???

Now since the bike is a naked sport, the bike gets all the features such as USD Folks, frugal engine, and aggressive dynamics for Duke which makes it compatible in terms of aerodynamics.

However, the compact riding posture might be a bit too tight for large riders. What is also disheartening is the poor switchgear and build quality as well as the lack of dual-channel ABS. Powerful and versatile 155cc engine.Lightweight and extremely compact.Looks sharp and attractive, especially in the white/red color. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

    victory under your name 

    The KTM 125 Duke is the entry-level offering in KTM's Duke range, known for its aggressive styling, sporty handling, and impressive performance for a 125cc engine. I owned it from past 2 years .The riding position is fairly upright, offering a good balance between comfort and sportiness for city riding. My KTM 125 Duke is a good option for riders searching a stylish, agile, and exciting bike for city rides and shorter rides. However my father feels uncomfortable to ride it

    Love for the design and different look 

    I love the bike just because of look and mileage and people mostly buy for this bike for the design and look and is also affordable but is not very powerful bike. This bike is great for the middle class boy for the regular use and the gearbox is very good and the seating position is very comfortable and comes with the lot more space but is not a value for money bike. Comfort is totally enhance in this bike and can go for a long rides with this bike and comes with the single channel ABS.

    A Year with the TVS Apache RR 310 

    The TVS Apache RR 310 has been my companion for over a year now and it is a relationship of mixed feelings. The bike's styling and aesthetics are top notch and its 312 cc engine, producing 34 PS of power never fails to exhilarate. The handling and sporty response of the RR 310 make it a delight on winding roads and open stretches alike.Its features like the bi-LED projector headlamps and the sophisticated digital dashboard, add to a very premium feel. However, I have faced issues with the service cost and availability of parts which can be a bit of a hassle and something buyers should consider.
