Couple's Review: Duke 250 Gen3 Touring Experience

[@neupnembang]

Headlight cluster of 250 duke gen 3 is more beautiful than 390 duke gen 3. Am i the only one with this opinion?🤔

[@baldandbiker]

I agree. Those DRLs don't look good to me.🥲

[@JH09SUMIT]

Well well... now both are same

[@anuragkumar5262]

Guess what, ye ktm ko dikkat thi, so they gave the DRLs to 250 also now😅

[@thereisnoone158]

I also agree

[@BikiBiki-wc5jt]

Duke 250 gen 3 can i make my mother sit on the pillion seat or not?

[@xxoxro]

Brother should i get MT-15 or Duke 250 or Ns 250? Im soon gonna get in a college and i want something that is quite reliable and with fine mileage and awesome performance 😊

[@baldandbiker]

You can't get fine mileage and awesome performance both at the same time. So here're my suggestion, Reliable, Good mileage and some performance: Get MT-15. Reliable, Great performance: Get Duke 250. Okay mileage and some performance: NS 250.(Pulsar have some reliability issue) I guess if you don't want to spend more in long run then get MT-15.

[@rahulac2]

bro on road presence which colour duke is better white or orange?

[@baldandbiker]

In my opinion: Gray-Orange looks better, bulky and classy. White looks small and not appealing.

[@learntastic22]

Bro how much the servicing cost after all the free servicing?

[@baldandbiker]

Around 2.7k to 3k per service.

[@mahendraomg]

Can you please tell how is vibration ? What is service interval?

[@baldandbiker]

Some noticeable vibration occurs under the 4000 rpm. But these can be ignored. Service interval is at 7000 km which is a long distance that means it's quite reliable bike.

[@vanshjayant2417]

Bro i also have duke 250 gen 3 and i installed the touring accessories from Zana. The seat is like rock 🪨 I can’t ride it after 100kms. Did you do anything to your seat ?

[@baldandbiker]

I did nothing at all. I agree that the seat is not comfortable but it's not like I can't ride. Priorities I guess 😉.

[@venkateshkumar1869]

Hi Bro. Do you have any vibration while riding. How is pillion comfort

[@baldandbiker]

Hi Bro, there are some vibrations in below the 4000rpm. But these are not hampering with your riding comfort and for the pillion comfort. Sitting is very comfortable for pillion until unless you've some luggage on you. I'll recommend installing pannier for the luggage carrying. Suspensions are also nice and soft to absorb bad roads bumps. Hope this helps. 😊🙌

No! It’s minimal and ignorable! Enjoy the ride broooo

[@bilalkhalfe5299]

Thankyou for this video. Seat comfort kaisa hai? Rider and pillion ke liye

[@baldandbiker]

The seat is quite hard for both. But it’s manageable. You’ve to take small breaks for every 100kms on highway.

[@cg5796]

Meteor aur ktm 250 me se kon si lu confuse hu ... mountain ride k liye ...abhi tak apache;160 chaliyi hai ..

[@baldandbiker]

Duke 250: If you want to have fun around the corner. Meteor: If you want high torque and relaxed sitting position.

There are some issues. I'll make a long-term review video soon.

What is your height? Is it comfortable for 6 feet guy?

[@baldandbiker]

Will be a little crampy for this much height. Mine is 5.5. Take a test ride If you can.

[@rakeshcj3773]

​@@baldandbikermine 5'4 Which bike will u recommend for long rides with pillion?

[@deepaksmarihal]

6ft guy ko comfortable rahega

[@ramboog2654]

It feels like cramped brother

[@baldandbiker]

Agreed! It's a low height seat. Only good for up to 5.8ft tall or You can increase the seat height by 20mm from KTM showroom itself.

[@the_secrete_pirate]

All the best brother ❤

[@baldandbiker]

Thanks brother 😊

[@sahilssscarface]

Nice review, I wanted to ask , is this worth the total cost of the bike

[@baldandbiker]

I believe based on product finishing, engine performance and premium experience of the bike. Overall it's worth it. Pricing is a little bit on the higher side. Do you believe R15 is worth its pricing? 🤑

[@Caterpillar5]

Any seat hight problem for tall person ?

[@baldandbiker]

If you're more than 6ft. in height, can be a little uncomfortable.

[@Ganesh.k2714]

Brother what about engine ktm has shifted from dohc to sohc..so will it be more reliable now and there won’t be engine rebuild issue ??

[@baldandbiker]

Shifting from DOHC to SOHC isn't a big issue. Everything seems better and refined now. For the rebuild issue, we can't come to a result because it's a new engine and we need time to see the effect in the long run. For now, No-one is facing any big issue as per our knowledge.

[@anmolminz5292]

Bro I am also looking for a bike for a tour with pillion. What about this bike? Any Heating or refinement issues??? Is the throttle aggressive?? What about the gear ratio??

[@baldandbiker]

If you're looking for touring purpose with pillion, It's not for you! Go for and ADV or cruising bike like Himalayan, Duke 250 Adventure edition. Throttle response is aggressive in this one and have gear ratio in the high side. Pillion seat is not comfortable at all for long rides.

[@anmolminz5292]

@baldandbiker bro I'm 5'5" 🥲

[@ujwal8407]

Bro can you tell average service cost of duke 250 and monthly expenses of the bike please 😊

[@baldandbiker]

Average service cost is around 2k and the service interval is 6 months. Monthly expense?🤔

[@Abhimaanyu0000]

I am planning to by either duke 250 or adv 250 as per my budget .My requirement is local travel and long rides every month .Which is better ?

[@baldandbiker]

Go for ADV 250. Duke 250 seat is not comfortable for long rides, good for city rides though.

I suggest, you just test ride the bike and get the feel by yourself. Some people might be okay with 6ft height and some are not. 👍🏻

[@gbaanurag1120]

Ok thank q

[@baldandbiker]

On a side note: most of the 6ft or more height people complained about feeling cramped on the bike.

No bro... working fine. Check the battery terminal once.

Pillion comfort?

[@baldandbiker]

Pillion comfort is fine until you've some luggage to carry. I would recommend installing a luggage rack to carry your things.

किया बात है

[@heathens2867]

Himalayan 450 or Duke 250 or Duke 390. I'm a software engineer and budget isn't an issue for me. I'll be using bike for 3 days a week office and alternate weekend for small to medium long ride(100-350kms) and sometimes long ride like 500+ kms. Which one I should consider and why? I've been riding Ronin so far and I'm not liking it for long ride, for city it's awesome. PS: my height is 180 cms but my lower torso is small and it's like 5'8"

[@sanchitsharma3412]

Why are you not considering Triumph Speed 400 ?

[@baldandbiker]

ADV 390 is also a good option for touring purpose. I would suggest taking test ride of ADV 390 and Himalayan 450. Avoid Duke 250 if budget is not a problem and upgrading from Ronin.

[@JH09SUMIT]

You can also wait for the upcoming adventure 390. But according to your use case I would like to recommend Triumph Scrambler 400x. Not speed 400 because it feels compact and small for long rides.
