Wait a minute. So the On road price difference between duke 125 and 200 is 50k?? And we get nothing special, maybe 200 duke has dual channel ABS instead of single channel on 125. What else? A higher cc and 50k difference is outright obnoxious. For example there’s a 50k difference between RE 350 and RE 500 But you get fuel injection from Keihin in 500. A high quality Denso starter motor on 500, plus all the improved wiring and other bits. KTM proudly promoting that their 125 shares everything with 200 is a stupid marketing strategy; just like Dominar’s idiotic marketing. It just makes the 200 users feel like idiots who bought an overpriced but still an awesome machine.
I think it's a trick KTM had pulled for Indians. Humour for a bit, if KTM 125 costs at 1.18 considering manufacturing cost and profit and if it shares most of the components with KTM (apart from bigger bored of engine which is again the same one) then it should mean that KTM 200 is absurdly costly bike. That means we were fooled earlier with KTM 200 Duke as mechanical components costs doesn't increase so linearly as to cubic capacity of bike. And now KTM expects that Indians should accept this over KTM 125 because it's cheaper than ktm200...........well played KTM. I hope i was so dumb as you expect to be. And what was the actual strategy launching in 200 and 390 whereas same 125 has been in production in the very same country (India) but not sell in it. Its just bloody business decision and nothing more. A justification they came up was that they think india was not ready for such premium 125cc bike. Then what made think that in such country a 390 and 200 will sell which costs at least 1.7 or 2.1 times of 125cc bike.
shumi...the review was way below par. Not expected from you. You should have spoken about the low power to weight ratio and the high price. Is it a old stock clearance sale?
@@aditya9600 That can't be true. V 1.0 engine is decades old already. And media already has invites to launch hinted as MT-15 www.financialexpress.com/auto/bike-news/yamaha-mt-15-indian-launch-on-21-january-interesting-facts-about-hero-xtreme-200r-tvs-apache-rtr-200-4v-rival/1420072/
KTM paid every auto journalist for a nice review ... seriously, who will consider this over a cheaper 150cc -200cc bike which are way better overall... This bike will surely increase the number of squids on the road

Apache

KTM paid every auto journalist for a nice review ... seriously, who will consider this over a cheaper 150cc -200cc bike which are way better overall...
