Hey buddy, what about the seat comfort...? Is it comfortable than the old Dukes...? Because whenever i sit on my Duke390, i feel like i have sit on wooden bench...😁...!
awesome review and fuck yeah you are the first to test ride this. I am a yamaha fan and like you said i am not so much happy about Fz25 but after D250 release last week i felt this bike is sexy AF. I guess i will book this bike next month. I hope i will be happy with this
Hi Vikas, talking about pot holes, do you hear a soft plasticky thump while riding over them at very slow speeds ? Like maybe a slow speed chain slap or perhaps the suspension making a noise ?
Why are you shifting like it has a quick shifter??? Had every bike been able to shift without clutch then yes the sports segments wouldn't have introduced Quick shifter. Without a quick shifter you really stress up the clutch plates where the driving plates don't match the neutral condition to change the driving driven plate. thanks.
Sir nice review but duke 250 bike has after some days roasting some parts what’s your opinion? & technically parts are cheap I love this bike so clear my opinion & plese help Which bike I prefer dominar or duke 250? Technically wise which bike better? & my uses are city ride
Aiden Pearce dude it has been 2 years since last alloy crack due to pothole had taken place. Bajaj have been providing better quality alloys since 2015.
Maheshwaran AJ I didn't know that KTM had upped the ante on their alloys. Thanks for replying though. The reason I asked is because I'm considering a KTM 390
Well my duke 390 2017 edition is coming and also the first in West Bengal so I'm planning to install sc project crt on it what do you think about it Vikas..
Is the Duke 250 2018 model coming with abs? Please reply,as im gonna buy the Duke 250 so if the abs is coming Im gonna wait for that,please let me know.
Bro... Hope u doing good... Very confused between Duke 250, Dominar 400 and RE Himalayan.... Preference for daily commuting upto 80kms, city riding, some long rides.. Pls suggest
Vikas rachamalla.. Bro i hv a duke 200...but its rear alloy got a small bend... Slightly bended... Nd now i.m planning to fill both tyres with nitrogen (1st time)... Can u please give me a suggestion abt this... Is it a better option.. And is there any way to fix those bends rather than replacing?
Hey Vikas thanks for bringing the first impression in.. I heard you saying 'bad roads no issue' Does that mean the suspension set up is softer than the previous Dukes?
hi vikas bro...actually iam a beginner biker n i went to ktm showroom near my house for a test ride.There was no test bike in stock with the showroom so i just checked the Sitting posture and it felt good.As iam a new to biker will it be okay to buy this bike?iam not that confident regarding the 30bhp since i havnt taken a test ride.pls help
From the point on ur personal thout on ABS..... ABS is for emergency purpose its does not exactly make you less of a biker. there are uncontrollable conditions where even Rossi talent wont work. and moreover the debate should be of an switchable ABS..!!
Seem so...he is... its kind of ...why shud we wear a helmet ...we are so talented that ..we wont fall ..so we wont break our heads... yaay.. problem solved!!! :P
KTM Duke 250 bhp 30 @ 9000 rpm, Nm 24 @ 7250 rpm and 161 kgs with Top Speed 142 kmph and Honda CBR250R bhp 29 @ 9000 rpm, Nm 23 @ 7500 rpm and 164 kgs with Top speed 164 kmph which do you think is better you decide for yourself.
Hi bro hw r u, I'm 3 lok from AP Anantapur district, I like all the videos that u hav made and gathering such good information tq you so much for that, and bro plz tell me is the ktm company will launch ktm 125 2017 model in India or not i hope u know the ans plz re me bro
p vinay the latest Duke has lots of tempting new additions however that's a lot of money to simply upgrade.even if you have lots of money out makes little sense to upgrade. You can spend that money on a after market accessories to get a lot more out of it. Motorcycles can last for a decade if properly maintained. I don't know about ktm though. Within few years I think we might get 690 dukes. Let's see.
Akshay Naidu thanx bro..yeah my Duke is not even 1year old...yeah bt Duke 2017 is tempting..bt...i think it's better for going 690 in future.. instead of buying the same 390 what do u say bro?
Sir I've brought duke 250 2019 model n from the day my bike is heating a lot n also takes hours to cool down please help me or guide me with this sir n lots of love n respect n wish you best for your ride n also for this beautifull journey u r on for us..
hi vikas , I saw ktm duke 250, and fz 25. I am 5'5. I felt little comfortable with fz 25, as d seat height is lower compared to duke 250. now tell me, performance and durability wise which one is better.i like to push my limits when I ride a bike. I like to take long rides.
Today went to a couple of ktm showrooms in anticipation of test ride. Nope. They say it might take another few more days. I love the way you explain the things. Btb can you explain how effectively we can brake in a non-ABS environment? Thanks a lot.
probably vikas is the first mvlogger to do a 250 test ride. Cheers 🍻 bro.
Yes and he deserves it..!!
very true !!and really he deserve !! nice guy not showoff like others !!
Man, whenever you say ' buddies ' , I feel like my big bro is calling me :) I just loved it. awesome video dada :) Its really packs a punch.
Did anyone notice Dino from Dino's Vault at 0:01. Hey great video Bro @Vikas Rachamalla

Which you feel is good and more headturning bike rc200 or duke250. And is also suitable for teenagers
It's definitely a crowd pleaser.. whenever kids start circling the bike I think am sold. Nice test ride review VR.
bro..my height is 5.6...duke 250 sut for me??
Does this bike heated up in stop and go traffic? Please share your thoughts!
Hey buddy, what about the seat comfort...?
Is it comfortable than the old Dukes...?
Because whenever i sit on my Duke390, i feel like i have sit on wooden bench...😁...!
what will you suggest ....Duke 250 or Dominar 400
bro help to choose one:- ktm duke 250 or dorminor 400. preference:- city driving, less vibations, best braking.
Which one is better ...Yamaha fz25 or Ktm duke 250 ? and any comments on DSK Benelli TNT 250 ?
this or dominar 400? Which one felt better and powerful while riding?
Haha...when you were revving the bike the lil girl expression says it all... awesome as always...👍👌
would u rather choose 250 over dominar400?
@Vikas Rachamalla : How is the ride is it as stiffer as Duke 390? I mean the suspensions.
is Duke 250 comfortable enough for long rides? Suspension - is it like 200 or better? Does it get balancer shaft? i'm bit concerned about engine life.
awesome review and fuck yeah you are the first to test ride this. I am a yamaha fan and like you said i am not so much happy about Fz25 but after D250 release last week i felt this bike is sexy AF. I guess i will book this bike next month. I hope i will be happy with this
are there any heating issues does the engine heat up too much please reply ASAP!! Thanks :)
Hi Vikas, talking about pot holes, do you hear a soft plasticky thump while riding over them at very slow speeds ? Like maybe a slow speed chain slap or perhaps the suspension making a noise ?
how good is duke 250 for touring??..plz reply....
Why are you shifting like it has a quick shifter??? Had every bike been able to shift without clutch then yes the sports segments wouldn't have introduced Quick shifter. Without a quick shifter you really stress up the clutch plates where the driving plates don't match the neutral condition to change the driving driven plate. thanks.
How light the bike was while flicking it in traffic and while pickup ?
how are comfort levels, compared to older generation? 😊
how it performs in corners and city traffic?
sir does Duke 250 can run above 200 km nonstop as like older 390 without overheating issue???
liked the first impression ride experience. Waiting for my bike to arrive next week!!
Mr. Vikas what is your height. I wanted to know that is the 2017 duke looks ok or small when you are seated in it's riding position
bro does the aftermarket mufler effect the vehicle's mileage ?
Vikas Bhai. I have a question. Will the installation of 2 hella red horns eat into the charge of my 12v battery. I own a Duke 250

Aiden Pearce dude it has been 2 years since last alloy crack due to pothole had taken place. Bajaj have been providing better quality alloys since 2015.
Maheshwaran AJ I didn't know that KTM had upped the ante on their alloys. Thanks for replying though. The reason I asked is because I'm considering a KTM 390

bro I'm having a 2016 Duke 390..should I upgrade to 2017 Duke??

hi vikas , I saw ktm duke 250, and fz 25. I am 5'5. I felt little comfortable with fz 25, as d seat height is lower compared to duke 250. now tell me, performance and durability wise which one is better.i like to push my limits when I ride a bike. I like to take long rides.
Hi Neeraj, which one did you opt for ? I am exactly in the same dilemma, height 5.5
Today went to a couple of ktm showrooms in anticipation of test ride. Nope. They say it might take another few more days. I love the way you explain the things. Btb can you explain how effectively we can brake in a non-ABS environment? Thanks a lot.
