KTM Duke 200 Overview
KTM 200 Duke is an entry-level naked sports bike that is designed to dominate the streets. It has a sleek design, loaded with advanced features, technology, and hardware.
Looks
Apart from a fresh set of stickers, KTM had kept the Duke 200's same design since 2012. Even though it was unique in its early years, it had started to seem outdated.
Taking this into account, the KTM Duke 200 received a well-deserved visual makeover, making it considerably sharper and more aggressive than before. It has an angular headlight with LED DRLs, a sculpted fuel tank with sharp tank extensions, and a sleek rear end with a split-seat configuration.
Furthermore, this bike gets updated graphics and new color combinations. It now comes in two colour variants: Electric Orange (orange and black) and Ceramic White (white and black).
Performance
The 200 Duke gets a new BS6-compliant engine with minimal changes. Despite this, it is powered by the same 199.5cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor.

Nevertheless, it still delivers 25.4bhp of max power at 10,000 rpm and 19.5Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm. A six-speed gearbox also remained the same to handle transmission responsibilities.
Dimensions

The seat height has increased by 5 mm to 823 mm. Similarly, the ground clearance has decreased by 20 mm to 155 mm.
