This 250 Adventure engine generates a power of 30 PS 9000 rpm and a torque of 24 Nm rpm. KTM 250 Adventure is powered by a 248.76 cc engine. 19-/17-inch wheel setup gives better confidence when going over rough roads. KTM 250 Adventure is one of the smoothest KTM single-cylinder engines on sale. Selecting the right bike would depend on several factors such as your budget preference on the segment, features required, engine options, etc. I am confused between KTM 250 Adventure and KTM Duke 250. Main travelling is city commutes and weekned tours. But this can be avoided to certain extent by adjusting the rear suspension.I wouldn"t recommend this bike for short guys.Maintenance cost is around 1k per service. Also the seat height is very high for 5"10 because sometimes when the ground level is a little lower than normal (like pothole or something) u will find it difficult to put legs down. This bike is also very heavy at 166kg if you are weak guy u will have lot of trouble moving the bike. This bike has wide handlebars so it"s sometimes difficult to get through small gaps. Its a bike for people who don"t care about spending money. When i bought bike my bike had lot of vibrations which went of after 1000km. Exhaust note is really beautiful once u go faster with higher rpm. I ride rough so I get mileage between 20-25 in city maybe if I ride smoothly I might get 30. When it comes to power it"s got crazy power packed if you are beginner u will definitely lose the handlebars once this beast accelerates. In my office people whom I don"t know also know me by the bike. Whenever I park my bike anywhere some people always try to touch my bike.
In my opinion no bike comes near to styling of KTM Duke 250. i had my dinner and1was about to leave when dad stopped me.and everyone began laughing again.then dad handed me the bike's key and s your because u did well in the mid terms.i was so happy after a few hours.i was called to ear1dinner.when i went inside. I was heartbroken, as i was just given a Gixxer SF for my birthday and my cousin was1getting a beast. but dad stopped me and said this bike is not for you but for your cousin. I grabbed the key and jumped on the bike. my dad wouldn't tell me why we went to the showroom. Then we went home.i was excited that something was going on. I was wondering how it would feel to ride a duke 390 one day when Dad tapped me on the shoulder and i followed him outside. While i checked out the beast of a1bike, the duke 390. Dad went inside and talked to the store guys for some time. Before long i was in Dibrugarh in front of KTM showroom1(boiragimoth).
I was bored at home so i went without any hesitation. It was in the late afternoon of April when my dad called me and asked me to accompany him to the city. You"ll eventually love riding it around town as long its maintained well at short intervals. Conclusion: Fun city bike with enough power to thrill on an occasional long jaunt. The halogen bulb headlight makes the bike look bad.
The rear shock absorber for instance was totally replaced even though I had been using it for city commute. Parts tend to get damaged quickly within a year, and screws, nuts and bolts tend to fall off rather quickly. You would have to take it to a technician every now and then to adjust the slack on the chain for optimum performance. The absence of an ABS makes it worse and dangerous at high speeds. Brakes are simply not powerful enough for the power output or high speeds. Very annoying and dangerous whilst trying to overtake. The headaches: Sluggish performance when accelerating to the mid range from the low range, it"s almost as if though it does not want to sprint. It is quite comfortable for those relatively long rides. 00 per week should cover your fuel expenditure. If you ride 20kms rather economically every day, Rs. Fun things: Its got power after you rev past a few RPMs, which means it is quick enough and you'll love it.I think this is the best looking ride in the naked bike segment in its class and slightly above as well. I find that this duke is perfect for city commutes, getting to and from work is fun with this ride.
