It is one of the best of the naked street class with stunning looks all over the world. I ride on the highways I get a mileage of well above 42 km/l ( average) and got the highest as 50 km/l. People get varied mileages. The fact is unlike the carbureted engines, the fuel injection gives variable mileage based on the acceleration of the bike. It is really hard to believe that even FZ, Fazer and other 150cc bikes give less mileage than the Duke 200.
The Duke engine is a fuel-injection type liquid-cooled engine of single-cylinder and single spark plug. It has a displacement of 200cc. It delivers its maximum power of 25 BHP at 10, 000 RPM and maximum torque of 19.2 Nm at 8000 RPM. Though it has 200cc, it delivers power more than normal 200cc bikes. Once a guy riding Pulsar 150 crossed me as if he led me. It seemed to be a contest and he raced his bike so that he crossed me by a few distance.
Handling the Duke 200 is quite awesome. It is very light and hard as steel. The handle is a little spiky and pains slightly. Changing handle rubbers with smoother ones makes comfortable and the paws can be relaxed. They are perfect for the streets. The turning radius is a little low which makes the bike a little hard to turn at narrow places. Cornering is absolutely fantastic.
Coming to the comfort, the stock seat is really stiff. Even though a pain ease tip is provided to make our back to relax, it is really hard to travel continuously for hours together. The seats can be changed to comfortable ones so that riding becomes smoother and painless.
Exellent good looking agressive NAKED BIKE.
