You can call that vibes at 80-100 as a buzz. I have 18 years of riding bikes from 100 cc to 200cc. But i dont want to buy Duke 390 and I've planned to buy Duke 250 within the next 4-6 months at the max.
I've ridden the gen2 Duke 250. The strange thing I observed during the test ride was the engine tractability was non-existent below 5000 rpm and engine was harsh (vibrations felt everywhere) at those rpms. But above 5000, the bike came together in its element, and acceleration was exhilarating, no vibrations. Is the same nature present in the new 250?
KTM Duke 250 Gen3 / Triumph Speed 400 / Honda CB300R -- all of these are roughly priced same at about 2.4L exshowroom.. which would you recommend & why ??
Hi Shiraz. Planning to buy a motorcycle. Had been riding a Pulsar 180 from 2014-2019 and haven't ridden a motorcyle since 2019. B/w the duke 250 and cb350 h'ness, which would be the better motorcycle? Riding would be in city and occasional touring.
My big thumbs up for both the motorcycles! You just can't go wrong with either. So take a test ride of both, preferably back to back, and seal the deal for the one which appeals to your heart more (the brain stuff has been taken care of by me 😃 )
Make a choice either duke 250 or triumph speed 400 as they have same ex showroom price and can you please make a comparison between speed 400 and duke 250...
I have only 1.5 years riding experience. Currently riding Gixxer 155 2022 model. Planning to upgrade within 1 or 2 years should I go for 390 or 250 or ninja 300. My height is 5'2"
Personally i hate 390 3 gen in terms of design. Even though its only litle different, this is more likable bike for me. With this good drivetrain and tolerable design im sure it will level up to lovable rank for me if i allow it to grow on my mind. Glad this one exist.
Since you've had the opportunity to use both the bikes at highway cruising speeds, which was more comfortable at 110-130kmph? Unfortunately as an end user I can't have this opportunity as the triumph showroom is located within city limits. I was able to test the same on the Duke 250 as the ktm was located on the outskirts. Your feedback would be appreciated
Because that doesn't serve any purpose. These real time / avg fuel efficiency figures are seldom accurate. So there's no point. Also, I do mention the fuel efficiency figures in my full review anyway. 😃
Thanks for the video. I have a question, if I'm currently riding a 160cc bike, should I upgrade to a 300cc+ motorcycle like Duke 390, Speed 400, RTR 310 or should I buy something below 300cc like Duke 250, Karizma, Gixxer, etc. Also, kindly fix the audio in video. Only left earpiece is giving sound. Once again thanks for the video
Most welcome. Please answer the following: 1) Your age 2) total years/months of riding experience 3) which 160 are you riding at present 4) Among all the bikes you listed, which two are on top of your priority list? 😃
@RealAutoReviews 1) 29 Y.O. in Jan'24 2) 8+ Years 3) Suzuki Gixxer SF BS3 since Jan 2016 4) Honda CB300R BS6.2, TVS Apache RTR 310, KTM Duke 250, Triumph Speed 400 (low seat height is what i dont like on it), looking at Karizma XMR as well but that will be for my lil brother who will begin his bike riding journey in the coming days.

@mohdakbar4980 yaar no worries. No hijacking here. In fact I encourage people to get on the same thread if they have the same question. 😃 Now, the answer: I have ridden the D250 and Speed 400 and have concluded that you just can't go wrong with either. Haven't ridden the CBR and RTR yet. But I will. If you're not in a hurry, you may wait for my reviews of both 😃
That's not vibration, but just a buzz. Don't worry about it. Most newbie youtubers have been making a hue and cry about vibrations in the past 5-6 years. You won't see foreigners talk about vibrations despite their requirement of better freeway speeds. It's a high performance single, it will never be smooth in the lower gears at slow speeds. Ride it like it's supposed to and you won't feel any vibrations anywhere 😃
@@shibashisbiswas9960 well, that should not happen. What's the odo reading of your bike? And what bike were you riding earlier (if this isn't your first bike) and for how long?
@@RealAutoReviews This is my very first bike and i have rode clasic 350, pulsar 220, odo reading 300,. False nuetral (onlywhile downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gear) happens once in 10th times.

Cb300r is a wonderful machine but zero road presence its too small rather compact, let me share you a true story once in front of a shopping mall this bike was parked , all of my frnds was telling me that this bike is a modified mt15, but as I know about bikes I told them that no this is cb300r but they told me no no it is mt15 its small , so you can guess right how it looks in real life, if opinion doesn't matter to you you can buy this bike its a fantastic bike
Hey Shiraz. I admire you a lot. I am planning to buy this new gen KTM Duke 250. My heart goes to this bike but my mind says Speed 400. I cannot find your review video of this bike, please upload.
I couldn't make a video because the odo had an issue. However, this bike is highly recommended. You have your heart set on it, right? Don't let the mind come.in between. Let me take care of that 😃

No. The bike has become way more tractable. Have done the tractability test as well. Check it out 😃
Is there any improvement from previous gen interms of refinement & vibration? What about comparing to speed 400
Allow me to address both these questions in the review video 😃
Speed 400 vibration starts from, 5k rpm

Hello Shiraz,
Quick question:
Suggest a bike to buy:
Budget: 5-6 Lakh INR
Focus: appearance/look
Thank you for all the details review !
What bikes have you shortlisted?
Aprilia rs457
Are you planning to review RTR 310?
Waiting on TVS to send me a media bike.
A suggestion; in your highway reviews why not show/mention the IFE at the respective cruising speed, if the bike shows it
Because that doesn't serve any purpose. These real time / avg fuel efficiency figures are seldom accurate. So there's no point. Also, I do mention the fuel efficiency figures in my full review anyway. 😃

I just got a duke 250 and am noticing something just want to clarify, is there any vibration on 2nd gear between 3000rpm to 4500rpm (22kmph-27kmph).
