Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Wanna purchase a bike but confused between RE Thunderbird 350cc in white color and KTM Duke 200 cc. My basic requirement is, it should be comfortable for long drives or long route of upto 500km along with good pickup and mileage and also I'm looking for sport bikes. I like KTM but have heard even after a small accident the parts of KTM bike gets damaged easily as compared to Thunderbird. Will you suggest, which one is better KTM or Thunderbird?
  • Never go for a KTM if you want such rides of 500KMs it's engine will become a volcano, KTMs are comfortable for cities ot has a great initial acceleration but i wouldn't recommend it for long rides instead go for Royal Enfield Classic 350 it'll make you feel like god during long rides, but if you want it for cities i would recommend Duke200 or FZ25 or RS200... Also You can choose RS200 for rides but not more than 250KM rides
  • Best for ktm duke 200 because very comfortable and good pick up this bike compare to ns 200,thunder bird 350 is very less mileage compare to ktm duke 200
  • For long tour go for Thunderbird
Q. Which is better for City ride Duke 200 or Duke 250? My daily riding will be of 20Km with an average speed of 50kmph. My height is 5'8" and age is 18 year.
  • If you are a beginner level rider, then Duke200 will be the best choice for you. This 200cc machine is no joke and this has some serious pulling power given it is a 200cc engine. 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 is because of tuning in the ECU. the power is higher on rpm above 6000. 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). duke 200 seat height is 20mm lower than 250 which favors you. 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. 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. ENJOY SAFE RIDING:)
  • Hey, I hope you're doing well. About the question, Duke 200 would be a better choice as far as I think. If you are just starting to ride(seriously), Duke 200 is a very good bike. 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. So, I would suggest you to go for Duke 200 but it'll be your call after all. Happy and Safe Riding.
  • Duke is not meant for under 60kmph it's all abt riding atleast upto 80 kmph. please dnt bite your bait by choosing Duke 200. for your riding style as you said please go with yamaha fz 16 v3. the better commuter.

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
