Why to buy a KTM Duke 200 ?

Why to own a KTM Duke 200? Well the answer is known to many. It is the most distinct bike in the country and stands intermediate between a  top performer and an average performer sport bikes ranging from 150cc to 250cc segment. While in comparison to other bikes in this category, this bike stands as a unique performer with unmatched specs and performance characteristics. The only European motorcycle that is available at a very affordable price with lot of technology and performance.

Just Compare this KTM Duke 200 with other 250, 200, 150 segment bikes,

1. Brakes : Brembo front disc 300mm:- Even the Bajaj Pulsar 220F, 200NS, Kawasaki Ninja 250, Honda CBR 250R, HMC Karizma ZMR, Yamaha YZF R15 v2.0, TVS Apache 180rtr don't have that much powerful brake.

2. Rear brake : 230mm disc:- none of the above mentioned bike doesn't own, so truly powerful discs even for stunts and braking hard.

3.Power:- 25.5bhp @ 10,000rpm beats all mentioned bikes above except Ninja 250 32.5 BHP at 11000rpm.
.
4. Engine:- Four-stroke Single, 4-valve DOHC liquid cooled, Fuel injected, Highly aggressive and responsive. Quick acceleration to rival its order segments.
