    Make : KTM
    Model : Duke

    When KTM refreshed the Duke line-up for 2017, the 200 was barely changed at all, while the 390 got an all-out, up-to-down redo that resulted in a far more desirable and better-equipped motorcycle. The catch? A price hike that pushed its tag to Rs 2.25 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The 200’s price, meanwhile, remained unchanged at Rs 1.43 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), creating a large vacuum between the two. Enter the 250 Duke, a bridge between the 200 and the 390, with power, features and pricing sitting squat between the two. That seems logical on paper but does it work well in practice?
