Is it better to get a brand new 2018 duke 200 or a second-hand ninja 250 / r25 / cbr250r?

Also, how's the service and quality control for ktm ? I got deterred from ktm since I've read multiple bad experiences here in the forum .

I've got 2 colleagues who are using KTM and they said although the bike is nice to ride around, they dislike the after sales support and the very poor resale value. shakehead.gif

Resale value is something every 250cc biker is concerned about because for sure after riding the 250cc, you will want to upgrade to something bigger. nod.gif
So if you are still paying your current bike loan while having poor resale value, then susah la. mega_shok.gif
To settle loan need to top up then to pay downpayment for new bike also need to top up. sweat.gif cry.gif moneyflies.gif moneyflies.gif doh.gif
