As seen on the chart above, the 200 Duke has witnessed the least hike amongst its naked siblings, with the 390 Duke witnessing a significant hike of Rs 6,000. This hike really affects the affordability factor of the streetfighter, making it about Rs 5,267 more expensive than the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. Not to mention that the Interceptor 650 gets two cylinders, is bigger and more powerful, and gives you a proper big bike experience. The price hike is significant for most models and may affect the buyers’ decision-making process.
Moreover, the Austrian bike-maker has also been witnessing a major drop in sales courtesy of the ongoing semiconductor shortage. Even its sister company, Bajaj Auto, has witnessed a dip in sales by 30 percent due to the same.
