KTM Duke 200 Review. Is it fast enough? Reliable?

Earlier this year I needed more motorcycles to train new riders. There was nothing for sale! No one was buying the KTM 200 so I took a chance…

I dumped all my big bikes and bought this. The most fun I’ve had in years.

the stalling issue was an important point! its nice to know these things can be re-workded if needed.

I just bought one this past weekend and already put around 100 miles on it. Fun bike. I’m 6 foot 2 and 210lbs and I fit just fine. If you’re thinking about buying one, do it.

I've had mine for over a year. Did 800 miles in 22hrs through Vegas

Picked up a white one as my first bike. Love it and enjoy riding it. You summed up the quirks and whatnot perfectly. Really good starter bike

Thanks to your review, I picked up the 200 for $3500 and absolutely love it as my first clutch bike. Thanks for the review

Picked the 200 up for my wife. Got the 390 for myself. Only complaint so far is that the clock does not keep time well, at all. Haven't found anything online indicating this is a common issue.

The 200 needs a lot of throttle to get moving compared to other bikes.

Nice weight.

Easy to handle.

Very responsive.

I agree - the tires are awesome.

I think it is the perfect beginner bike for my wife, who is 5' 4".

I've been riding one since launch, it's been a little over 3.5 years, hands down the best 200, no regrets till date.

Deffs will want to get me one in the future. Just bought the xr 150. Having the time of my life with that bike.

I'll just sum it up by saying best damn motorcycle money can buy at its class. Collecting mine today. I'm SUPER PUMPED

[bassmasta]

I've never owned a motorcycle before. I been looking at them and keep gravitating to the KTM cruiser bikes. They look so good!

I live in Wellington New Zealand and this bike is the perfect formula for everyday city fun.

Excellent video! Thank you for taking the time to do it, especially from the perspective of an instructor. I’m looking for a ‘first bike’ for my son. This may be it.

[AcrylicDuck]

ive done 18000km on mine and its still just as fun as when i first got it
i thought i would be bored of it but its it own bike in a way
mine still gets upto 142ish on a calm day

[novaharry]

Nice video. I'm gonna book mine this April. Excited. 😁

After I got my motorcycle license, I had that stalling issue on a Grom. Being a new rider, that really shock my confidence and I quickly got rid of that bike. Several years have passed and I just got the new Honda XR150L. I'm glad to say that issue doesn't exist and I'm a very happy camper.

I'll probably be buying one as my first street bike.

[AdeptusAmogus]

Not gonna lie, I'm regretting not waiting for the Duke 200 to come in stock near me. I ended up getting a Z125 Pro and all I can do with it is ride it to work and back a few blocks away, because to go anywhere else where I live, I'd have to get on the interstate. I'm only 140lbs and my Z125 struggles to hit just 55mph on flat ground.

Just brought ine if these as my first bike so thank you for the heads up about rhe clutch and the rear brake quirk. Will know what to look out for in the future
