[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you :) Keep following us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for more motoring updates.

[@shroffkunal]

I just Love the heating issue in KTM ... It keeps u warm in winter season..👌 I love Duke coz I don't need blower on road

[@nishitraj.]

The best thing about PD is I dont need a giveaway motivatiin to click their video. M a simple man, I see PD video on my feed, I click like :) Kudos on another super review

[@nishitraj.]

One request, can we have an extensive comparo between Hexa, XUV and Crysta. I know you guys have given it a sit-down one, how about one with actual 3 side by side :)

[@powerdriftofficial]

We so want to do that Nishit! We are trying our best to get all three together!

[@nishitraj.]

PowerDrift Awesome 👍

[@viviandsouza3577]

hahaha same here I watch powerdrift before shitting every morning 😂 iam addicted too it

[@Sanjeevkhatoi]

I saw the review of the KTM Duke 390 and hooked since then..all the very best 👍👍

[@Prashant_999_]

Was Waiting For Duke 250 Review.... Finally The Video Is Out... Goodwork Powerdrift.

[@vishaldoshivd]

the review of the 2016 duke 390 is still the best video till now this wasn't bad either but PD army nailed it with apex from that video oldest subscriber though✌

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks Vishal, these are the first impressions, and yes, turn on the notification bell as the 390 test ride is soon set to happen.

[@JaspreetSinghArtist]

Vishal Doshi maybe now they have different cinematographer for the job

[@JaspreetSinghArtist]

Vishal Doshi another reason is the location , Background is not that interesting and its a sunny day video . cloudy weather is much better for beautiful looking shots just as first 200ns video because of rain and cloudy weather it was really interesting and more depth in visual sense .

[@vishaldoshivd]

Notification bell is already turned on brah! U rock mahn

[@vishaldoshivd]

jaspreet singh hope they make a good video for the 2017 duke 390

[@deepakrawal3430]

I know I'll not get it ...but still I subscribed ... hopeless still hoping 😇

[@alwayskool02]

as far as i know power drift is one and only channel which provides a good quality of videos and as well as good quality of explanation of the bike or whatever. Only here there will a chance of knowing what more must be included or what not to be included to get a better beast. thats the reason why.. POWER DRIFT IS THE BEST !!

[@madhav_pv]

Wow! Congrats on 75mil views. Has been following from start. Good to see my favorite channel hitting such milestone. Keep Rocking guys!! Even my German colleagues like your channel. You are making it in big leagues now!!

[@antrikshtewari]

Hmm.. A pretty good review of 250, an upcoming review of 390, a discussion about possible retrofitting AND a giveaway? Why wasn't I aware of this channel?! KZbin, stop hiding the good stuff!

[@powerdriftofficial]

#SeeSomethingNew all over again ;)

[@rudrajpanandiker6867]

I always wished the Duke250 came with ABS, i would have surely bought it then, but it still looks like a fantastic little beginner bike

[@pranay2904]

[@pratikb4912]

oneplus 3T..that means big and better screen to watch PD videos. #PDARMY #NOTIFICATIONSQUAD

[@Anmol34]

I've been using a shattered Redmi since 6 months, really need that OP3T :-) I've been following your channel since a year. Now subscribed to Notification squad. The Duke 250 looks amazing, like it better than 390, single unit headlamp looks more neat. This is really a well made video, thanks for answering questions about Duke in such detail.

[@cjx3156]

awesome job guys...because you #powerdrift team...i stopped watching other reviewing channels....u guys rock...and keep up the good work...

[@rengoku-_-kyojuro]

why your videos are little dull in colour we want see real colour of bike

[@powerdriftofficial]

Have you tried watching the video in 1080 comrade?

[@rengoku-_-kyojuro]

PowerDrift i don't because watching this video in 1080 consume Half of my net plan so 360p is ok for me I am not saying don't edit your videos just when you'r taking bike shots keep it simple #Goodwisher PDarmy

[@sameermalik5322]

[@rajpranav18]

Eagerly awaiting for the 2k17 Duke 390 review, would also like to add that this is first full flegded track review on KZbin yet, and far from better than other reviews out there, #PD you rocked it yet again., Cheers brothers.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you Pranav :) Stay tuned and we'll get a video out very soon!

[@JinEXxXGaming]

[@vivekkumarblues]

JineX TV gud try buddy😂

[@JinEXxXGaming]

vivek kumar Its a fact... lots of guyz out there.. and possibility that i will get it is 0.000000000000000001% = 0

[@vivekkumarblues]

on same boat bruh_very true

[@Ankitchhirang]

@@JinEXxXGaming really motivating

[@hastonlobo5738]

It's a crime for super hyper bikes like KTM for not installing ABS in thier bikes at least as an option..... Honda CBR 250 is still the king I feel.

[@adityapalve2255]

haston lobo don't worry bro in April 2018 ABS will be compulsory in INDIA

[@inlinemachine3224]

haston lobo ktm india does not instal abs in indian d250 only .

[@Richdadful]

Agreed! CBR 250 is one damn good bike and it deserved better sales.

[@AugmentedGravity]

haston lobo the 125 and 390 both have ABS as standard

[@Richdadful]

True! Duke 200 and Duke 390 both have ABS from 2014 when DUke 390 was launched. Initally Duke 200 i.e pre 2014 variants didnt has ABS. Also, Duke 125 isn't launched in India.

[@vartikapande]

looks promising... still can't wait for higher versions of dukes.... lovely review.. yet again...

[@sakshamsehgal3022]

hey there PD ! i have been subscribed to your channel for quite some time now given the fact that one gets unbiased honest reviews ! Tussi great ho keep the reviews coming ! waiting for duke 2017 390 review 🏍

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you so much ji! Cannot wait to ride the motorcycle too, stay tuned though :)

[@TheMohitkaushal]

so cbr 250r is still fast with more top speed?

[@hellrider3053]

cbr is slower... bt have more topspeed

[@ambroserajbaidya4360]

No brother the cbr 250r is quicker and has a better top end!!!

[@IndiaSonic]

KTMs generally have shorter gear ratios that help them accelerate quickly but the downside to that is lower topspeed as compared to the competition.

[@hellrider3053]

brother.... u can see both bikes VBox measures..... cbr hits 0-100 in 9 sec sec where as duke 250 hits the ton in only 8.12 secs... well there is no mere difference b/w these two...but m sure the acceleration will be better in duke 250 its KTm brother.

[@ambroserajbaidya4360]

Bt still not worth an upgrade from the duke 200...the 390 justifies the word upgrade as the bike is loaded with tons of features.

[@MegaABHINAV1994]

The byke is superb and awesome and so is the rider super awesome review bro..👍👍..keep bringing such super awesome pure and unbeased reviews off our favorite machines....

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you, There's more coming soon, so don't forget to stay notified.

[@riffheart]

Review is another thing but the way Sagar Sheldekar explains is phenomenal. Good job bro. 👌

[@barunsri3908]

[@himanshmulchandani5075]

You guys really make great videos, bought suzuki gixxer based on your suggestion, and i am really happy with my choice. I got a very good deal and many of my friends who swinged their legs over this bike also had a wide grin after their first ride.

[@harsejal]

I'm currently in love with only 2 things in life KTM Duke n one plus 3t and u guys got both of them in one video super like for that👌👍😘

[@sushanthcherukunnu6923]

thumbs up for power drift for making such good videos I have been a subscriber more than ayear.because you are awesome

[@aamirshaikh4706]

awesome video man👌👌👌 . you introduce the vehicle like no one can do . you mentioned all the points which is required before buying any bike .... awsome sager 👌👌.best of luck

[@terraccan]

Brilliant! I simply love your reviews. Waiting for 390.

[@the_winged_helm]

Another delicious first ride review from PD! Yes, ABS should have been included, along with the larger disc from the 390. But that would bring the price uncomfortably close to the 390, which people would prefer over the 250 since it offers much more equipment. And since Bajaj did not want to increase the entry level pricing into the KTM club to keep a level playing field against the competiton, that's why they stuck with the 200 with minimal changes. For all intent and purposes, the 250 is the actual successor to the 200, while the 200 is for people who really want a KTM but can't stretch the budget for the 250. And I really hope PD makes a blockbuster of the 390 review.

[@rohansbp]

great cinematography and a very decent way of reviewing a bike

[@imba-nomadz5976]

Alarm set for 25th March :P, another good video and yes waiting for 390 review to roll out. Cheers!!!
