The KTM 200 Duke is one of many innovations that we have been able to see ‘EICMA 2011. The new born will be available in Italy in early 2012 and will bear comparison with two sisters very important: The KTM 125 Duke, beloved middle ground between a motorcyclist and a little naked, dream of motorcyclists in the grass, and the Duke 690 , light and bright naked kill curves.

In theory, given the kinship and competition, with Honda CBR 250 and Kawasaki Ninja 250 already present in this market segment, it may not be easy to find a small pool of 200 users who know how to appreciate it. Yet, data sheet in hand, with about 25HP to 125kg in weight, a high-level chassis, and a price that stands more in line with that of the 125 than with the motion of a cylinder capacity exceeding the Dukina proves to be a product very interesting. Valid first bike to learn to drive, considering the performance is not prohibitive, but also a possible alternative to the classic maxi scooters.
