Austrian company KTM is an acknowledged champion when talking off-road motorcycles, as the Austrian firm has made it a habit of dominating off-road motorsports events. The KTM 200 Duke is the first streetbike to be jointly developed between them and Indian motorcycle maker Bajaj Auto, whose stake in the European firm has now crossed 39%.
The single-cylinder 125 Duke was introduced about a year ago in select European markets, where it's charged into the lead and become a segment leader, which makes it no surprise the 200cc variant has been so eagerly anticipated.
Butch, lean and aggressive all at once, the striking 200 Duke proudly shows off its KTM genes. Black and trademark orange are the predominant colors, while sharp angles and steep creases define this modern naked bike. Every part has been visibly pared down to a minimum, which allows the 200 to live up to KTM's 'ready to race' tag and tip the scales at just 300 claimed pounds.
