Q. I'm confused which bike to chose below 1.5L (Options ktm Duke 125,RS200 and list goes on)

If what you want is style, looks or exclusivity rather then performance you can look for the duke125 but if you want performance and a bit of style then you can go for the rs200( the design is a bit too quarky or a bit overdone for my taste). Remember the 125duke competes with cheaper 150,160cc bikes while the rs competes with the likes of duke200, rtr200,etc.The engine of the rs200 was also derived from the duke200.Both bikes also returned almost the same mileage.For a 125cc bike the duke is quite powerful producing around 14bhp, but with a price tag of around 1.2lakh, its a bit too pricey for a 125.

Both are good options.....if you want naked bike and also need some good features then go for Duke 125 And if you want fearing covered bike then go for RS 200

I strongly suggest the Apache RTR 200 ABS version.
