This bike is going to give you a big bike feel for sure, but it doesn't feel heavy. let's talk about the looks first.And when I'm talking about the looks how can I miss the halogen headlamp that's a bit eyesore for me personally, otherwise the bike looks beautiful from each and every angle.The tall 855mm seat height can be a problem for shorter riders. If you are more than 5"9 go for it. (you can also ask for a low-height seat )The rider's pov is also beautifully designed,Looks just like a 390 adv except for that tft display and, to be honest, I can't complain about that because most of the time our eyes are set on the view ahead, not on the meter console. (the console provides enough information like fuel range, riding mode, gear position, odo etc .) its performance.Great for daily commutes but once you'll hit the highway it just glides on that tarmac. I must say, that the 250cc engine from ktm is the most tractable engine in this single-cylinder category. If you are below 6000 rpm you'll have a smooth ride but after 6000rpm you'll feel that surge of power and that 30ps/24nm will leave a big smile on your face. With a bodyweight of around 92 kgs I was easily able to manage a top speed of 139kmph so if you are a light weight rider going 145+ will be hassle-free for you.Touring and off-road capabilities.I feel that most of its buyers will spend their maximum time on tarmac not off road. Touring on this bike is like surfing through the tides ( pleasant yet a bit bumpy) The comfortable speed for highway touring on this bike is between 85 to 110 kmph depending on your body weight and riding style.Anything above that will make you feel like the bike is bouncing a bit.Those slightly stiff suspensions will give you great handling but don't absorb sharp bumps. When it comes to offroad this bike gives justice to its name (almost)But don't expect it to be a slow off-road machine like re himalayan. The low-end torque is not that much so keep the throttle twisted andIt can be pretty fast in off roads if you know how to handle it. Tall stance, off-road pegs, high ground clearance everything helps you to enjoy the adventure factor of this machine. (personal suggestion- if you are looking for a off-road focused bike better go for 390 adv).We know that it doesn't ride like 390 But it doesn't bite like 390 either. I'm getting mileage of 25-30kmpl in mixed riding conditions and 32+kmpl on the highways.The first 3 services will cost you around rs 1500 - 2000 . Later it can go 2500 -3000.Service intervals are long enough. Let's see the pros and cons Pros.1. Great for touring and mild offroad.2. Good mileage considering its segment.3. Great road presence, it is a head-turner.4. Good mid-range punch 5. Great stability 6. Great on-offroad tyres .7. Best brakes in its segment Cons.1. Weak headlamps for touring.2. Gets bumpy after 120 kmph3. A bit pricy Conclusion - if you are a new rider and considering this as your first do it machine it won't disappoint you. Go and have a test ride. But if you are an experienced rider who's riding 150-200cc better go with ktm 390 adv or bmw 310 gs .

Tips for other riders
The service center will help you a lot if you ask them about maintenance. I'd say that it'd be great if you can clean the chain and the sprockets every weekend. Keep the tyre pressure in check otherwise, you can face wobbling issues at high speeds. And once in a while keep a check of the bar end weights because I've observed that they get a bit loose after 4-5k kms .and you don't want to lose them. That's it folks. Happy riding

An absolute beast

Better than Himalayan in my opinion.Bought this beast around 2 weeks back and clocked around 600kms on it,Highways are like a piece of cake, buying experience was smooth ktm showroom staff was kind enough to answer all my queries and concerns beforehand,Like every adventure seeker, i was looking at the adventure motorcycle segment which included a duke 250/390 adventure re Himalayan, bmw 310 gs, and yezdi adventure.I chose this over Himalayan due to all the issues that i came across all the forums and owner friends of mineI didn't want to deal with those issues though you can,Tubeless tires are less of a headache when you get a flat on a road and apart from the 25-30k difference what i got was better brakes, slipper clutch, and better power though with lesser torque than Himalayan,Since yezdi was a bit new to the market i didn't want to get into a fairly new company with lesser service centers in India, although i found yezdi's engine better and more refined than the Himalayan test vehicle,Bmw is an expensive bike to maintain therefore was eliminated since most of my commute included in the city and i am not a fan of excessive technology and sensors duke 250 made complete sense to me after the test ride also the maintenance cost is almost equal to my Bajaj avenger 220 which i have ridden and toured on for around 8 years so bingo duke 250 adventure became an obvious choice,Mileage is superb, handling is great power ohman! that is where it shines absolutely it is a beautiful machine which is absolutely rev hungry and almost everything seems perfect some cons which i found:- it generates heat which is managed by radiator fans- height can be an issue for some i am 5'7 inch and half a foot on it but it is manageable because of super lightweight, which is again better than Himalayan, i would suggest deciding after a test drive, every time i ride this machine it brings a smile on my face.
