forget about it .

1. it make in India by bajaj
2. why you need a bike with 0-60miles in 20 seconds ?
3. this will not be cheap. should be about 1/2 of the 690 duke price.

If it was 250cc two stroke I would consider.

[anzhsb]

there is another version Duke 200cc for asian market .. not in the market yet.

[Momo1970]

Yes, with 17.3 HP...lol. This bike is for kids that would like to have a bike that looks like their big brother Duke. Really too bad, as KTM has so many good 250-300 race engines that will do justice to this frame & suspension

the duk 125 and duke 200 is design dor bajaj for India only market .. and there will be no brembo no marchesini and no WP
