KTM DUKE 200 & yzf r125

[Sky Blue]

would like to know this 2 bike which is better ? in fc and pricing .

does mantance hard on this 2 bike ?

[donhxw]

two dif bikes, two diff styling. one motard, one sports...

fc i would say most prob the lower cc one since duke 200 has been reported to consume more fuel then the duke 125. pricing both cost 5 digits... so about same... insurance wise sports bike always more ex... maintenance wise, both liquid cooled n both 4stroke, should be same amount of EO n coolant so really depends on how hard u ride as a rider...

200cc vs 125cc, of course will consume more fuel. r125 more expensive than duke 125, insurance also higher. Don't talk about FC on 125 4 strokes, they are nothing compared to 2 strokes, powerwise also behind as well.

[Cracked]

I would da duke anytime over the pansy r125

Voting for the KTM too.

i will get ktm duke instead of yzf 125. anyway for noobs dont need to ride so ex bike la, i can gurantee u that u will sure get bored of it after 1year cuz of the lack of power in 2B bikes, might as well save the money abit get a better higher cc 1 later. then ppl will say that sg road 90km/h limit no need so big bike, later on when u ride bigger bikes u will know what i mean.

Practicality aside, I will also go for the KTM. But like most riders here, it is not practical to spend so much on a 2B bike cos at the end of the day, Ah Peks will still overtake you and you still feel so inadequate on the road and wish for more torque/speed.

 

Save the money, ride a cheaper 2B bike and use the saved money for your bigger bikes as you progress through 2A and 2.

yeah i totally agree with u. just get a cheaper 2B bike.

[fatboypin]

I feel so good I kept my 2B bike from 2B licence all the way through 2, and now am keeping it for sentimental reasons... this is the first vehicle that I bought firsthand... even though I also have another class 2 bike.

 

Anyway, the journey from 2B to 2 was helped mainly by this 2B bike cos of the handling experience in changing gears, etc. Gotta make sure it is a proper manual bike as with your driving centres. It is impt to have constant practice cos if you are riding the auto scooters, etc... how to remember to do things properly during 2A and 2?

 

And now... I can choose from the entire range of bikes and no need to worry abt restrictions due to licence class.

 

BTW, this 2B bike cost more than my 2nd hand Class 2 bike!!!

 

Ride safe pple.

go with your heart...

[fatboypin]

go with your heart...

 

Thats true too.

[edwinling]

go with your heart...

 

Oh yeah! +1

[MERCENARY]

I would prefer to buy the KTM.Buy a second hand,not too old and keep it until class 2.

Dont waste your money if you are in the future,going to get a class 2 bike.

KTM Duke is not a motard, its belly clearance is too little for it to go off road. It is a naked/street bike.

 

In terms of performance, KTM hands down.

Save money, save petrol, then r125.

However both is not worth ur money buying it.

[fatboypin]

Sad but true - choices of bikes for 2b and 2a extremely limited.

i stand corrected

to me a duke has characteristics of a motard n naked bike... not exactly one or the other...

maybe can try 90km/h around bends and corners.

straight roads are for the rich

bends and corners are for those with balls haha

[haoKR]

2 stroke vs 4 stroke

if one kip whack e 2stroke,prob will arise sooner

[Jehuty]

Keep thinking R125 is a sportbike, its a kup la. Sportbikes and good FC?

[georgekoh]

that also means should get a higher CC bike with more power that can accelerate through corners
