Honda CB350RS vs KTM 125 Duke

Question 1

Q. Which one is better between Honda CB350RS or Royal Enfield Continental GT 650?

Answer

Both the bikes are good in their own forte. the CB350RS seems like a bit of a missed opportunity from Honda. It could have used the capable foundations of the H’ness to create a more unique motorcycle with a more well-defined identity that would’ve appealed to an entirely new and different audience. Instead, it’s taken this middle-of-the-road approach and created a halfway house that we find hard to recommend to anyone except museum curators. On the other hand, the Continental GT 650 is a fun-to-ride cafe racer. The GT’s sporty riding position makes it much more suitable for twisty mountain roads and even high-speed straight-line blasts. To top things off, the twin-cylinder motor provides the performance and refinement that the 535 simply couldn’t. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.

Question 2

Q. KTM 125 Duke or Pulsar 125 Neon?

Answer

Selecting between the KTM 125 Duke and Bajaj Pulsar 125 would depend on certain factors such as your budget, brand preference, features, performance, comfort, etc. The KTM 125 Duke BS6 is the most affordable way into the KTM family. It Service as the perfect stepping stone to performance-oriented motorcycles. The only grouse is you may be able to master the motorcycle rather quickly, and the lack of power means you will be left craving for more performance. On the other hand, the Pulsar 125 Neon gives enthusiasts a taste of the Pulsar’s sporty DNA but in a less intimidating and more affordable package. The 125 Duke retails at Rs. 1.70 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), while the price of Pulsar 125 Neon starts at Rs. 77,843 (ex-showroom, Delhi). For a better understanding of performance and comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your city accordingly for dealership details.

Question 3

Q. Is it good for long solo rides, compared to Husqvarna svartpilen 250?

Answer

Yes. Very stable and smooth on highways. No vibrations at all even at 140kmph

Answer

Honda CB350RS offers a different riding posture than that of Husqy. You do have to lean forward a bit to reach the bars, and the lower body is a bit more cramped than on the H’ness. While this certainly isn’t an uncomfortable position, it does mean that you will be tired out that little bit earlier when you go for longer stints out on the highway. Apart from this, the CB350RS offers excellent ride quality. The RS flattens out bumps superbly and remains quite composed at most times. With the sportier appearance and aspirations, you’d expect this bike to be a sharper handler than the H’ness. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.

Answer

Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, brand preference, etc. The KTM 125 Duke BS6 is the most affordable way into the KTM family. It Service as the perfect stepping stone to performance-oriented motorcycles. The only grouse is you may be able to master the motorcycle rather quickly, and the lack of power means you will be left craving for more performance. KTM 125 Duke is powered by a 124.7 cc engine. This Duke 125 engine generates a power of 14.5 PS @ 9250 rpm and a torque of 12 Nm @ 8000 rpm. On the other hand, The Hornet 2.0 isn’t quite a 200, but with its 185cc motor, it’s the closest that Honda has ever come. It’s also one of the most exciting-looking small bikes we’ve seen from Big Red recently, but on paper, it seems to stand in a class of its own. Honda Hornet 2.0 is powered by a 184.4 cc engine. This Hornet 2.0 engine generates a power of 17.26 PS @ 8500 rpm and a torque of 16.1 Nm @ 6000 rpm. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision.

Question 5

Q. Is it worth to spend 1.5 Lac on DUKE 125 CC?? Duke 125 is more comfortable than MT15???

Answer

Better you try higher CC

Question 6

Q. Is Duke 125cc can beat 150cc and 160cc bikes?

Answer

It would be unfair to give a verdict here as it would depend on the various factors such as power output, performance numbers, underpinnings of the bike, power to weight ratio, gearing specifications, etc. The 125 Duke serves as the perfect stepping stone to performance-oriented motorcycles. With 14.5PS of power on tap, it’s more at par with 150cc motorcycles such as the Bajaj Pulsar 150 and Suzuki Gixxer. But the torque is much lower here - just 12Nm. You do get a minor surge in torque at around the 7000rpm mark, and the bike pulls cleanly till its redline of a little over 10,000rpm. But don’t think that you’ll be winning any drag races here, unless you’re going up against bikes in the same cubic capacity bracket.
