KTM has officially made public the specifications of the 200 Duke, the model from KTM which is headed for India. The peak power output of the 200 Duke has surprised most by equaling Honda CBR250R's 25 bhp..!!

The dry weight of the 200 Duke according to specs is 125 Kgs which means that the Kerb weight should not be more than 135-137 Kgs. Even at 135 Kgs the 200 Duke remains a good 30 Kgs lighter than the CBR250R (167 Kgs, Kerb weight). This could just mean one thing, twist the throttle of the KTM 200 Duke and unleash the hooligan in you..!!

Although I'll be missing the ABS, the 200 Duke should definitely be my next bike. Just hoping the KTM 200 Duke makes it to India in the same specs and is not priced more than the non-ABS Honda CBR250R (around Rs. 1.5 lakh ex-showroom)
