2017 KTM 250 Duke Spied in India

The launch of KTM Duke series on 23 February 2017 is holding up few unexplained situations in itself. The recently spotted images of the motorcycles now include the 2017 KTM 250 Duke in them. Not just that, there has been few reports of launching the same design for 200 Duke, adding just a couple of new shades for the most popular and affordable motorcycle on the list. It seems that KTM is preparing something really special for their next event.

2017 KTM 250 Duke spotted here feels India spec as it carries a saree guard and rear hugger. It carries the same shade combination as the new KTM RC390, mixing up some good shades like Black, Orange and White. It even carries the exhaust that was last seen on the bigger 390 series of motorcycles. On the other hand, things get much more confusing when the images from a camouflaged 2017 KTM 200 Duke are seen through the same source.

This typical example carries Black frame and same design as the KTM 250 Duke. It is now to be seen if KTM places the 250 Duke within both the new bikes or simply update 200 Duke and bring the new KTM 390 Duke to India. 2017 flagship 390 Duke is now heavier by few kilograms while even see an increase in power by 2 Nm. If 2017 KTM 250 Duke is brought into India, it will compete against the Benelli TNT25 and recently launched Yamaha FZ25.
