New 2024 KTM Duke 250 TFT Display Practical Ride Review - Is It Worth Buying in 250cc Bike Segment?

[@Heisenberg8307]

Finally a duke which a grown man can ride and not look ridiculous going to office/work.

[@heysourin]

Accurate!

[@pratyasaha9876]

This motorcycle looks drop head gorgeous. Finally a Duke for a middle aged and not so attention seeking man

[@BikerNiladri]

Correct

[@abhijeit05]

Thats why i have bought this one. Man she is so sexy❤

[@krisrocks37]

Color is a major deciding factor for many people when they wanna purchase a bike.. The color options ktm provides usually puts off many potential buyers.. If ktm genuinely wants it's sales to go up, it should release good paint schemes like this ebony black across all the segments.. Signature orange theme for a brand is good, but that color pulls away many potential buyers..

[@marurram]

Your reviews are so interesting and useful. You are very straightforward in the way you express things. And your riding skills- they are just amazing! 👏

[@BikerNiladri]

Thanks a ton

[@NidarsanShakya]

Yeah bro. Love from Nepal. So detailed and upto the point review. Each and everything u tried to cover up.​ @@BikerNiladri

[@iNFYnub]

while upshifting there is no need to blip the throttle in case of a quickshifter. what you are doing is suitable for the bikes which which are not equipped with a quickshifter cause you cannot upshift without bliping the throttle. Next time try to keep the throttle full and then upshift without bliping or closing the throttle for a bit. This is how you should use the quickshifter for the upshifts. Also what i've noticed is that in other bikes which don't have the quickshifter autoblipper for downshifts you just press the clutch and simply downshift, the thing which is wrong there is that the rev increases very fast which leads in locking the rear wheel for a second which can be dangerous. Instead what you should do is that learn "Rev-matching". it would be hard for me to explain it here but you can search on youtube, there are plenty of videos on it. Else your reviews are pretty raw which is why i watch all of your videos.

[@Coolchicken229]

Chill out bud, that's his riding style everyone has one and trust me he's much more experienced than you are

[@iNFYnub]

@@Coolchicken229 so do you mean by pulling the clutch and downshifting and then releasing the clutch without bliping the throttle while downshifting while in higher revs ("Rev matchung") is the right? Haven't you noticed what happens if you do this yourself. The rear simply locks up. also in his videos it is clearly visible that the rear locks up and the whole bike just shakes Also the reason behind me letting him know what is practically right was just a suggestion. Next time just give a practical or an Objectively correct reason rather than giving a subjective opinion.

[@Ggcbfw]

Thats what I was gonna comment below totally agree with you bro 🧠

[@greyhound1982]

​@@iNFYnubyes we have to do that but don't you think slipper clutch will help us in rear locking? I have no experience with a slipper clutch bikes though am just asking a doubt

[@iNFYnub]

@ What I’ve experienced is that tho slipper clutch is there the wheel gets lockup for a sec. Just have a look in some of his videos, despite of having the slipper clutch the rear still locks up while he down shifts. I own Cb 350 h’ness, i do rev match every time i downshift. Even tho i am in higher revs it helps me to not get the rear wheel locked up. Even at the time of cornering it helps. You might actually get a better if you try this on your own or just see on youtube itself.
