Q. Which is better Duke 250 or Suzuki Gixxer SF 250?

Answer

Honestly my friend has a duke 250 and the ktm feels is a bit lacking, the grunt is not so much , the power is in the top revband which means you will have to push the bike while overtaking and it gets tiring after somedays , you will feel that its better to go on a scooter than your bike, the economy on duke 250 is worse than that on a second hand scooter, so unless you are ready to pay extra price for bike and have extra cash for petrol all the time, you go for duke, the new color in 250 bs6 duke is too good to ignore, but on the other hand , its not a ktm its a semi ktm , not that feel you get in 200 or 390.
