KTM 250 Duke To Get New LED Headlight

The KTM 250 Duke will be updated with a new LED headlight, similar to that on the KTM 390 Duke. The company has already begun despatching the updated model to KTM dealerships across India and the motorcycle should be officially launched in the coming weeks. Our dealer sources tell us that the ex-showroom price of the updated KTM 250 Duke could see a hike of about Rs. 4,000 or so. The new ex-showroom price of the 250 Duke is likely to be around Rs 2.10 lakh. Apart from the new headlight, we do not expect any other updates to the motorcycle.

As far as looks are concerned, the only differentiators between KTM 250 Duke and the 390 Duke are the colour scheme and the TFT screen on the 390 Duke. Few KTM dealers have started accepting bookings for the motorcycle for a token amount of Rs. 5,000. The 250 Duke continues to be powered by a BS6 compliant 248.8 cc single-cylinder engine which makes 29.6 bhp of power at 9,000 rpm and 24 Nm of peak torque at 7,500 rpm. Along with BS6 upgrades, the motorcycle also got WP's 43 mm USD forks from the 390 Duke and a Supermoto ABS mode.

Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Image
Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
