Motorcycle specifications KTM 250 DUKE 2017 Nervous incursion
presentation of the 250 DUKE 2017
Let's face it, you don't see many 2-strokes on the streets, the country roads or the track any more. Yet there are certain reasons to believe in a revival, even if performance will never match the hysteria of 2-strokes.
One such reason is the KTM 250 Duke. Admittedly, we're not about to see it in the country, as the manufacturer has no plans to import it; but its mill would certainly whet the appetite.
straightforward and unambiguous, it has the same look and chassis as the 125 and 390 Duke. A taut machine with a bestial design inspired by the Superduke 1290 R. A handsome digital speedo, a compact size and Katoche spirit in every corner. The main difference comes from within.
the mono here doubles all the values of the 125. Displacement, power and torque are all up in the same proportions. So, for a little more expensive Duke, you get 30 horsepower and 2.6 mkg. Values obtained a little earlier in revs compared to the mini-Duke. The catch is that you need a large cube license. And 12 kilos more weight. Well, 149 kilos isn't exactly a water heater on wheels, either.
the 250 Duke packs twice as much into the same package. The tubular steel frame, 300 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brakes, 4-piston radial caliper mounted at the end of the 43 mm upside-down forks, 13.4-liter fuel tank and Beast DNA are all there. A nice little toy for Asian markets, where its success will be out of all proportion to the homeopathic sales it might enjoy here.

Of course, you need a license to drive a 250 cc, and I took it when I was 45! That's a good thing, because when I see the idiots who ride their 125 scooters or LP3s and think they're real bikers, I laugh... Rating : 4/5 Respond to Jeff2A
