R15 or KTM duke 200? Help!

[Shannk]

Hi all, am thinking and considering for a long time between R15 and Duke 200 but cant seem to come to a decision. Have looked into the price for both, its about the same so i guess the price factor is out. Just gonna use the bike for daily usage can anybody advise? Side note that I'm schooling and working pt. thanks!!

Gonna get less bored while waiting for your Class 2A with a Duke 200 than R15.

 

The R15 feels like a turtle.

Since you mentioned it's the same price, then the 200 Duke is a no-brainer - more powerful, better brakes, better tech, etc.

Personally, I would rather u go for R15 if u don't mind the sitting position.

 

KTM honestly is way better in term of value, part and technology but one 1 thing I hate about Duke 200 is because of the seat. Even though the bike suit me way better, the hard seat make u uncomfortable even for a short ride and the worse part is having a pillon. Other than that everything is just fine.

 

R15 value is lower than KTM which make it affordable for 2B if u going for sport bike. Tech and part wise could be slightly cheaper or similar to KTM.

 

Don't bother buy a first hand bike for 2B cause the price of 2A is close to each other. If you decided to buy a 2A bike after ur license of course, just go for 2nd R15 but choose wisely. If financially trouble just get Cubs bike. Reliable and cheap!
