28K EX-SHOWROOM difference isn't alot when we consider a quarter litre bike and people also have installments option. Yes it's slightly more but we are also getting better engine and looks with 6 speed gearbox. Being latest (2019) quarter litre bike priced 171K(ex-showroom Delhi) misses out Slipper Clutch it's quite disappointing.

There's no harm comparing however there is difference in naked and faired bikes. Both have different purposes in the real world. On paper we can discuss abt pricing, specs etc. But actually it depends on individual to individual preferences. You are doing good. All the best.

Thanks, yes it's personal preference ,thats why i said, some will still buy this bike and its not a bad bike, but just for everyone to know what all options are there, i made this video.

Yes, no one complains about duke engine.. it freezes on traffic..

@@THUGPUTIN ...really?

I have a Duke 200 2016 model as well. Done 40000 KMS so far which includes multiple 3000-5000 KMS trips as well as commutes twice a week. I have absolutely no problems with the engine. The only issue was the rear suspension giving up at 25k and the stator coil going at 18k. Nothing else apart from that. I take care to change the oil every 3.5k KMS and always keep the fluids leveled. Runs like a charm.

Yeah, he said ktm is more refined than the suzuki (gixxer 250). I don't know how he came up with that conclusion. He himself said in this video that the gixxer had no vibrations.

He is a biased guy

@@tanujdebbarma588 the 2017 model 390 are refined. And KTM always has a better brand image all their bikes costs more than equivalent BMWs abroad. Only in India made in India ktms are cheaper. The same 390 costs more than ninja 400 in the USA.

There is very little vibration on 6000 to 7000rpm considering that gixxer 250 engine is not a dohc engine. Awesome suzuki..🔥 suzuki's power delivery is linear.So it feels low power.Also topend is gd in suzuki . No heating issue with Suzuki oil cooled engine is one +point. Definitely i choose sf250

@@SuperImbadude obviously You are new to this biking world otherwise you wouldn't have commented this. Suzuki is one of the Big Four. If you don't know that, search on Google. Suzuki has a long history of making bulletproof engines in all kind of Motorcycling. KTM's were only dirt bike manufacturer until recently. That's the kind of ignorance KTM squid typical possess, so no blame to you. As far as brand image is concerned, KTM's reputation has been a hit and miss in Global market due to issues in Duke 390 models like blown heads, engine seizures,broken alloys etc while on the other hand, Suzuki enjoys a lot of confidence. And that confidence didn't build overnight. It took decades to build the reputation. Just because D390 costs $5300 that doens't make it a premium product. It cost less because Bajaj made that possible with their excellent scale of economy. Nobody in India heard of KTM before 2011,now suddenly everyone is proclaiming that KTM was their childhood dream bike 😁😁 Where Hayabusa was the bike that ignited superbike culture in India. Suzuki has presence in MotoGP, WSBK, DAKAR, Jet skies, Motorboat engines, Isle of man TT form as early as 1950's.

cbr 250r still retains the old charm. still in 2019. Its far better than rc and duke junkies.. those are expensive to buy and costly to maintain and all ktms are very prone to accedent. The closest compititor for this 250sf is cbr250r. Among which i believe is a personal choice between these two.. suzuki has done a decent job however the cbr has gained a certain standard on sports tourer catagory year after year and the honda badge is certainly not to be forget. the question is how it will stand up against the mighty cbr. lets see how this young fella competes..

It's just 3-4k more than the CBR 250 R non abs version . So dat justifies it .

@@BloodySweetBadass cbr has superior engine dohc, liquid cooling bigger disk

@@TheAshuV DOHC is mainly an advantage when it comes to top end performance . Where do u think in India , people go for top end (speeds above 150-160) considering the roads and traffic ? Liquid cooling is gud for people who always go for long distance touring , not dat necessary for occasional tourers . But it increases weight & maintanence . Bigger disc , gud on paper but u won't find much of a difference in daily use . Come on mahn , think practical, rather than a spec worshipper . Going for a bike with lower or higher specs depends on the need and type of use of people . Not all people want liquid cooling & DOHC and not every people r gonna use it even if they have them . The only concern I have is smaller windscreen of dis bike . And hope u know , Honda increased the price of CBR 250R bike by almost 20-30k before few years all of a sudden without any mechanical changes being given . They just made 2 version abs & non abs with a price difference of 30k . Are they fooling Indians ? Think of someone who bought non abs version for close to 2 lakhs on road for liquid cooling & DOHC while missing abs , slipper clutch , bottom end torque etc....

All test bikes comes with zero

What yar??? The meter cable or wire is not connected.

True!!!

Sad part is that the reviewers (long term in particular) never mention this issues. They compare performances, features and pricings, that's all. Based on these reviews, the impression what we get is that the Japanese brands are really overpriced because if you ignore those issues, everything's better in the other brands. Now put the price point in it and boom. Suzuki, yamaha, honda, kawasaki are the most reliable with very less issues and because they try to make it reliable, they put good quality parts which results in higher pricing. But to me, maybe they are costly but certainly not overpriced. There are a lot of things to be considered to judge the pricing, not just the performance or useless fancy features.

@@tanujdebbarma588 Don't live in myth..... The all sources of problems we face later on our bikes use to be hidden when we buy a new bike. Don't compare normal bike with super bike which use to come complete different way. We think Indian made brands are problematic. No it's not. All those mother f*** showroom guy use to fuck a bike in the name of test ride and connection of battery terminals. They rave fucking hard and no one even know about it. Wake-up and try to buy a bike directly when they're unloading the bike. What you think entry level bikes from Honda , Yamaha, Suzuki are all problem free? Nah ...i have used almost all of them. But the story of a super bike is completely different. Because it's a super bike. People use to think they're buying a brand new bike but who knows that bike might have fucked badly before they handle it to customer. This is not a story from a single company this happens in almost every company like Bajaj, KTM, TVs , and all those japanese bike you have mentioned. I witnessed this by myself.

@@emperorofdarkness3096 first of all let's not use those words. We all are humans. Same goes for the ones working at Japanese showrooms or the ones at bajaj or any other. Let's be mature. You give me facts and I'm ready to accept it. Yeah I've seen them doing staffs they are not supposed to do to a brand new machine. I'm a motorcycle fan. I've been knowing them all my life. What's myth about them? Talking about small engines, I used yamaha scooty myself with zero issues whatsoever. I've seen my friends suffering with their bikes every now and then with issues of oil leakage, rattling, vibrations what not. I rode pulsar 150, hero passion plus or something, we owned hero honda ct100, LML freedom 125, the honda engines are always smoother and trouble free. The others had vibrations. The pulsar's headlight was shaking like anything at 4000-5000 rpm. The hero passion left my hands tingling. I follow all the reviewers good or bad. Don't teach me about bikes. Most genuine people say that bajaj bikes are good only for around two years. TVS has good quality but lacks refinement so they vibrate. Do you think any manufacturer can offer great performance, great feature, great everything yet can keep the pricing lower than others without any compromise? My point is that every manufacturer compromises somewhere whether it's quality or performance or refinement or others. Japanese brands compromise little bit on performance and very less on quality as compared to the Europeans (comparing all the reviews). But they are reliable and I know it myself. Indian brands lack little bit of refinement and needs better quality. Europeans lack bit of refinement and reliability as compared to the Japanese (comparing the reviews of European channels, there is survey report of 2015 done in UK). The Europeans are the ones with less compromises, so their prices are very high. Japanese are in the middle. Indian brands compromise largely on quality parts to keep the cost down and sales high. Why do you think many prefer Bajaj dominar over TVS apache 310, I mean both are Indian bikes? It's the "value for money" thing, right? I'm comparing TVS apache 310 cause it was awarded the bike of the year by so many channels.

One more thing, if I'm complaining about Indian brands it doesn't mean that I don't like them. But I'm certainly not gonna say that they are the best, because they are not. Being cheap doesn't click the boxes for me. I believe in this strongly that if we ask for better, they will give us better. That's why I complain. And I'm ready to pay for it. If bajaj dominar would cost 2.5 lakhs with better quality and reliability, I would still say it's better. If Suzuki, Yamaha, Honda were all Indian brands with current quality, refinement and reliability I would proudly say that they are the best.

Is the KTM Duke 390 a good bike in terms of maintenance and reliability ?

@@prashasakpanda3754 well I don't have first hand experience on the matter because I don't own it. But according to many it has small issues. Popular KZfaqr Vikash Rachamala also said that. The new versions are said to be more refined and made of better quality parts. But it surely can't match the Japanese. It's the beauty of Japanese engineering. Their refinement largely adds up to reliability of the engines plus they never use below average parts. That's why their bikes or cars remain slightly costlier than our Indian brands. The Europeans focus on performance and fun factors plus design and quality. But they also need to keep the cost of production in check. However, their machines need even better quality to maintain the sort of performance they offer. That's where the problems start for them. To maintain more performance better quality parts are needed. The R15 uses die-cast aluminium cylinders plus excellent liquid cooling unit to keep the heat in control even if it was only 16 ps (now it's 19), this adds to the reliability of the engine. That's why after using it very roughly also its engine never fails. But one has to timely top up the coolant as recommended by the company. The KTM uses only nickel coating (silicon is common in the R15 and all KTM engines) which won't be effective enough to sustain its huge brutal performance and the radiator can't help it too. It can only be solved by using even better quality engine parts (compared to the current engine) which will shoot up the pricing very high or by bringing the performance down which will keep the heat low.

Btw, Vikash sir loves his duke very much. And the bike can be reliable. Because we are not gonna use it flat out. Maybe on somedays 70% of its power will be used, but on other days most unlikely. So the engine will not give headaches I guess. The biggest problem however is the "mechanics". I forgot to mention it in the earlier comments. They say that the mechanics don't have much knowledge on the higher capacity bikes in the bajaj, ktm service centres (not all). So they can mess up really bad.
