New KTM Duke 200

Identical to the 125 but with a 200 engine.

Apparently it's a 125 with a big bore kit made in India by Bajaj.
Should make for an interesting ride.

very nice, if I had a manual licence I'd be tempted

Is there some specific driver's licence that this model caters for?

Otherwise for the city you are better of with a 640.

I've got a manual licence and I'm not, but I wouldn't mind that KTM 990 SMT behind it.

I'm younger

Just a Manual bike licence

It's been created for the Far Eastern (Indian) bike market, where 150-200cc is the norm I'm guessing due to selling costs and import duty on foreign made bikes.

Seems majority of bike manufacturer's focus is the emerging (and huge volume) markets of China, India & Brazil, hence new factory plans for many in these sectors.
