    For pillion comfort - CBR250RABS is the King. Depending on your riding style, KTM is more of a agressive street bike, while CBR is a sports Tourer. KTM has aggressive geometry and acceleration, CBR has very smooth highway performance and stability. Both are very good bikes but DIFFERENT in riding styles and orientation.Take a good test ride and decide.

    CBR is your answer. Have been riding CBR for more than 5 years now and it is very comfortable for rider and pillion as well. KTM is not comfortable for pillion riders. Also, the CBR has a better fuel efficiency (33-35) than KTM (30).

    Pillion comfort then cbr 250r is a blind buy..duke 250 is also a good bike but doesnt offer that touring capabilities and that amount of refinement of cbr..
