@@motorincFor a guy who is going to buy a new 250cc machine, if you explain how this new duke 250 stands out from n250, Gixxer 250 and dominar 250 could have been useful. Difference in terms of touring and city commutes. Especially touring. Still your summary is excellent. 🙌
Why didn’t you ask? The Dominar 250 is smooth but otherwise lacklustre. We don’t recommend it at all. The N250 is the best commuter of this group. Comfortable, swift and efficient. Quality has improved too. Gixxer 250 is a slightly sportier machine than the N250. But still very much a commuter. And now also growing old - Suzukis not given it any upgrades since it launched. The Duke is the fastest of this lot by some margin and by far the sportiest in feel. The new chassis also makes it a reasonably comfortable bike which wasn’t the case earlier. Do let us know if you have more questions
It was a joy to listen to this summary in the full video and it's still a joy to go through it here. I thoroughly enjoy the calmness and the minimalism of your channel. It doesn't have any distracting audio or visual and it's mesmerizing to see how focused and diligent you two are with your analysis. Kudos to your style!
I never missed out any of your motorcycle related videos... Just spot on and precisely informative. My question is: I need a bike preferably 250-400 CC for touring, I currently own a Yamaha FZ-S (153CC) 2010 model and did 1000kms/day run multiple times comfortably but it feels a bit slow certainly for highway runs. My list consists of in order of what my heart says : Honda CB 300R Triumph Scrambler 400x Suzuki V-Strom 250 Duke 250 And I'm so soo confused. Please enlighten me 😇😇
10/10 for Kartik’s summary. It’s a joy listening to both of you. How do you advice a new rider to choose between the ktm duke 250 and the ktm adv 250. I’d like to tour but 90% of the times would be commuting. Thanks and keep blessing us with more content.
I am looking to buy my first bike, confused between these 3 bikes, Duke 250 - Triumph scrambler 400x - RE Guerrilla 450. I know all three bikes are different from one another but still I could like your opinion on this? Which one could be best choice?
Hey there, Shumi & Karthikeya, top stuff, as always. Thank you. ❤ I’ve ridden the Redditch Red 350 Classic for almost six years now. I’m on the lookout for my second motorcycle to be used mostly for commute and occasional weekend rides, with maybe some touring, as well (I hope so). I’ve always had a thing for the CB300R and given it’s recent price cut, it becomes all the more enticing. On the other hand, the new Duke 250 seems like a better decision, in all departments, I strongly like it. Am I justified in comparing these two? What would be your advice for me? Of course, I’ll take a test-ride before putting down the money but I’d like to know your views. Also, a discussion, albeit small, on the CB300R would be awesome. Forgive the long message and thank you for the content. Anticipating a response. 😊
Ranking kartik 9 / 10. But my next question will be to compare Duke 250 and cbr 300 2024 and triumph 400 because they all are similar in price range and are allrounder kind of bike.
When you said, it will not get scary, what does it mean? I was riding CBZ for 3-4 years and not riding a bike for around 20 years. I am looking for a bike (90% city ride) in bangalore and seriously considering duke 390 or 390 adventure. I’ll keep the vehicle for a min 10 years and would like the vehicle to grow with me. Your comment “scary” is making me think about KTMs. Could you please elaborate.

Very nice summary guys. Can you pls tell me which one has a better ride quality, engine refinement and lesser vibrations between the Honda cb300r and the new Duke 250 and is the seat cushion and suspension of the new Duke 250 good for long rides ?
I would absolutely love for you guys to revisit the CB300R and compare it against the D250. I'm upgrading from my 1997 Yamaha RXG and the 146kg weight of the XB is super tempting!
Very good interpretation and analysis… Great work on minute things as well. But I would like know about KTM 250 adventure on upcoming 2025 ,No information found about it wether it is coming or not ? In your video also you recommending 390 adv. What about 250 adv update?
Have you been testing the new Aprillia RS 457?? When's the video guys, it's looking too dope? What Shumi thinks about design? Your vids are best, glad I came across
Loved everything about the new Duke 250 except those tank shrouds!! Sometimes the KTM designers get carried away just to make their bike look a lot sharper!!
Hey Shailesh! They’re not similar riding experiences at all. Both can manage the city but they feel very different from each other. Even a short test ride should clear this right up!
I'll be upgrading from the Ntorq race xp to my first bike. This bike will only be for long highway rides and not daily commutes, I love going fast and have 20000+ km experience of riding on highways. What would you guys suggest, the 250 or the 390 ? I want a bike that goes blisteringly fast and has great sense of rawness to it. I dont want a well tamed motorcycle that does not allow me to correct my mistakes.
Hi MotorInc Team. I need to make a buying decision and I am confused between the 250 Duke and Honda CB300R. Long term reliability is my primary concern as I like to keep my bike for 6-8 years. I have cancelled Triumph Speed 400 due to its expensive service and spare parts. I have taken a test ride of all of the above and I like all of them. Please help me decide which one should I go with! Will Honda CB300R be easy on the pocket with respect to service and spare parts?
Hi, Is there a KTM Duke 200 2023 available? If not will it be launching anytime? Which according to you will be a better buy between Duke 250 and Duke 200 in terms of ride quality and mileage? Basically, I want to buy a pocket friendly bike.
Aprilia sr 160 is old and sales are all time low at 300unit per month. Aerox has shown people are buying higher segment scooter at 2000unit per month. Do you think aprilia will bring sr gt 200 to capture on adventure category rather than take back performance title from aerox? Can you make a video on why companies are so shy on 150cc scooters. We scooter lover have no upgrade from 125cc segment.
@@chandansoren8002 vespa 150 is above 1.5 and reach 1.7 ex show room. More expensive than aerox still doing better than both aerox and sr 160. I think people want more on 150cc segment. For more price people want bigger engine, bigger underseat storage to store full face helmet bigger fuel tank and more bigger dominating body. Sr 160 fulfill only bigger engine, everything else is normal scooter and with less features. Aerox success shows people are willing to pay more if upgrade is significant one.
@@motorinc please make a video on 150 segment. Nmax 155, pcx, adv 160, sr gt 200. Discuss how company should change their mindset that scooter people only carry cylinder.
Loved the video n the summary, I bought hunter 350 around 6 months back but I feel like I have grown out of it and it feels too lazy and boring now. I test rode duke 250 and felt happy with the power and brakes. I have been thinking of switching to duke 250 but worried what if i get bored of it too after some months. Or shall I just buy the 390... bit scary proposition however it might be more fun.
The 250 won't get boring in a hurry for sure, Abheet, but sure, consider a 390 if you must. It's A LOT FASTER and quicker than your Hunter so be careful!
I happy with my Honda Shine bs3 with drum breaks.😅 But always waits for your videos guys.....😊😊 Feel good when you both sit and talks about motor vehicles ❤
what if i am not a new rider but i have never owned a powerful motorcycle. would i enjoy 250 or 390 will be enjoyable in a longer time. because i dont think so i will buy another motorcycle anytime soon but upgrade to a four wheeler. help me decide. i have test driven 390 but not a 250 so i am slightly inclined to buy a 390.

@@3rdclasstatamahindrabajajRE dull engine always buzzing... And pickup not that great... Struggling low end... All this comment from KTM owner .. don't just follow the herd... Ride for some distance then come to conclusions....
@@neeraj880108 🌚 its high revv engine. Torque output is at peak of revv range. How do you expect torque in low end ? What sort of logic it is ?
Not barking by reading the spec sheet. Took vstrom for 250 kms ride. Rental one.
Then took duke 250 after 1 month from the same rental company.
Buzzing engine of course. It's not as smooth as Japanese engine.
Pickup is brutal.
I'm a beginner rider , i have previous experience of riding 160 cc and a few 200 cc bikes , I'm looking for a bike for myself and I'm slightly confused between the 250 duke and the speed 400 . Both these are relatively gentle than the 390 , I don't want 390 kinda power . What would practically be a good pick for me .
Test ride them out only then you can find out
@@chandansoren8002 Fair enough..
Agree with Chandan!
Rating is 9 🌟..dint told about Vibration and engine issues..
Imagine RC250 competing with the SF250. That would be sick.
Indeed!
9.5 out of 10. Karthik is clearly not as big a fan of KTM as Shumi is
😁
Lol, I knew this clip was a whole another video!😂
Excellent summary 🫡
Thanks!
Can we Get a Honda NX500 review ! I am dying to buy one
Awaiting word on the test bike, AnimeOtakuArt!
Shall I consider buying 250 Duke after having RTR200 for 120k kms or go for 390 Duke
390! But take time to get used to it. Every new road. The rains. The cold. Feel it first before you push. All the best!
@@motorinc 2024 will be the year then
Please review Honda H'ness 350 also... Plz plz plz
Chasing Honda for test bikes for 7 months now. 🤷🏽♂️
@@motorincohh, I hope they give you the bike soon.
@@motorincplease review the new jawa 42 dual tone and the new yezdi roadster retold...
want comparison on speed 400 ,dominar 400 and duke 250
Noted! Any specifics you have in mind?
Is SOHC setup for cost cutting?
Tractability for better city commuting
Why you guys are not reviewing on Apache RTR 310????
TVS hasn’t provided a test bike as yet.
Guys shud i upgrade from duke 125 gen 1 to 250 or 390 , riding my 125 since 4yrs
I want a more powerful bike, not satisfied with the 125cc since am evn taking my bike up the hills
I have been waiting for this and then you said wait until June 😢😢😢 why but oh hey I know and it makes sense. The only thing remaining is whether I would be able to keep that long patience 🤞
Use the time to save up - for riding gear, plan a long ride, and research your next set of tyres. Lots to do! 😁
Hi bro please review honda cb 350 😊
I feel the Dominar 250 is a much more VFM if someone's looking for a do it all motorcycle, who cannot afford the 390.
Compared to the 250D?
MotorInc, Now that the bikes priced around 3lakh are overcrowded, Please do a camparo video of the same !
Gotcha.
Which is better ktm 250 or gixer 250
Depends on what you like @habandajopsynshong8659. Tell us what you're looking for?
@@motorinc daily commute,touring, city ride almost an all-rounder bike
Both will do this. KTM a bit more exciting, the Suzuki a bit more calm. KTM service may be slightly better than Suzuki. Suzuki slightly higher quality overall
@@motorinc thank alot
@@motorinc of all the bike available which 250cc whould you recommend
congrats for 200k
Thank you for getting us here!
Keep it up Guys
Thanks!
