QUOTE(billy_overheat @ Oct 31 2013, 08:06 PM) This serves as a street bike and it comes handy in city drive due to better torque. For long journey, I guess it will be suffering. I did consider it though. Haha For me I think its the opposite. Duke200 better for traffic since smaller in size, not the handlebar without balancer. Also lighter, easier to maneuver. For the Duke390, its better for highway since topspeed already >160km/h, engine rev also no need so high, heavy = more stable. Got balancer also, no need vibrate so much. |

QUOTE(billy_overheat @ Nov 1 2013, 09:29 AM) Really? I'm actually considering this and z250. 4k difference and I get 390cc and, a really beautiful orange tone! If your dont mind, list out your requirement, see we can help or not.Currently I am using duke200, so far so good. But definitely duke200 not for touring. |

QUOTE(dreamerf_14 @ Nov 1 2013, 09:53 AM) mind to share your experiences using tis bike? First rule for recommendation is tell us your requirement. Then I can start judging from there.I am considering to buy duke 200, for travelling to work. no gooding for far distance? Your workplace you pass by city/highway how many percent? But yeah, Duke200 more towards city riding. Cruising 100km/h no problem. But for highway so people might want to take it up to 140km/h and above. |

QUOTE(billy_overheat @ Nov 1 2013, 10:06 AM) I will use it mostly for my work. It's about 90 minutes journey, mainly b roads. Road conditions, not so good, not so bad with certain pots and holes. I asked Kapaa motor and they said for reliability, z250 is better and cheaper maintenance, is it? I thought single cylinder is cheaper? If road condition not so good, should take scrambler already. Coz offroad bikes are meant for pot holes. Actually maintenance between z250 and duke200 is big different. z250 need more engine oil since two cylinder. While duke200 is only one cylinder, easier and simpler engine, need less engine oil also. But for spare parts etc, kawasaki is famous in Malaysia, parts will be cheaper and easier to find. For ktm, its europe. Parts more expensive than japanese bikes. |

QUOTE(dreamerf_14 @ Nov 1 2013, 10:50 AM) hurm, will be using mex so the road is jammed. can say 50% city and 50% highway. mex got jam meh? quite worry for the spareparts too.... heard the tyre costs rm500 each.... nvm anyway for the spare part if you want cheap, go for z250, plenty for you to choose. KTM mostly call it "Power Parts". Tyre not that expensive except you using high end one. QUOTE(pallmall @ Nov 1 2013, 11:35 AM) duke 200 user also here, and the tyres wasnt that expensive unless u wanna use high end one So far tyre working really good. MRF yo! just saw pirelli brand here about RM300 each, i believe normal price by the way, can mod ECU liao to remove cut off (at least thats what i know) took it once to karak highway there to play, very nice. Limiter is unnecessary to remove. Kesian the engine rev >10k to archieve >125km/h. Short gearing pulak. |

QUOTE(pallmall @ Nov 1 2013, 03:32 PM) true me rike the MRF yo For normal use, MRF consider very good already.too bad no money for akrapovic, but currently me rike remus roxx without db killer regarding limiter, me no really rike speed, torque bebeh torque apart from that, a shop here said that kawa parts not that cheap yo, even a japanese friend of mine also dont want kawa, prefer duke 125 (damn japan selling about RM16k for abs version duke 200) Currently you using stock exhaust or what? That day I went to shop and check, akra about 3k/4k, while another brand mc-sport is only 1.7k+-. Btw, Im still planning to mod my stock exhaust, coz I love the stock so much, underbelly somemore, at least drop wont kemek the side exhaust. duke 125 not powerful enough after we been sitting on the 200. Price also more expensive in here since CBU. So far got no money for cosmetic already. I think exhaust is the only thing we can play. |
