Why DUKE? This may be the 100th review of duke you may be reading but it is my First love story. What is KTM? That was the first question my dad asked me when I wanted to buy KTM Duke 200. My dad asked me KTMae dhan venuma. I said yes petromax lightae dhan venum. After pestering my dad for 13 months (Yes you heard right even before it was released on 24th January 2012) I finally bought my duke on 23 January 2013 (exactly a year after its launch). I explained my dad that KTM is an Austrian motorcycle brand which has won the Dakar a dozen times in a row (Yes KTM won this year 2013 too). Even today when my dad’s friends ask me which bike I bought I simply say KTM they ask me is it from Yamaha (Just like you I also wanted to shoot them). After longing for 13 months I brought my bike home. It is like The Beatles or ilayaraja’s or AR Rahman’s music to my ears when the bike breathed. I come from Pondicherry where I bought the bike for Rs.1,32,750 on road exactly, nothing more nothin...
