Reportedly, KTM has unveiled the Duke and RC 250 at Tokyo Motorcycle show. The venue got filled with excitement when this announcement came through. Looking to the ergonomics, chassis of the bikes seems drawn from the 390 version, and not being a reworked 200’s engine the machine is a new piece of 250cc displacement. Backed by a single-cylinder unit, the power of 31PS is worth to talk about. Apparently, no one in the class offers this beat of power stroke except for the Hero HX250R that may go into production sooner or later.
Hence, it was obvious for the KTM 250s to go into production at the Pune’s manufacturing facility shortly. In fact, the announcement neither carried India nor any other target markets. Anyways, if they will launch here, then, may derive the benefit of costs like their other siblings.

What’s your take on both, have your say at the comments section below…
