The ultimate 200cc Supermoto?

More than a Q but if they can really bring it here for $2,400 it would be an awesome bike and a great value to boot!

The estimated MSRP is somewhere between $2,443 and $2,819 USD.

Indeed, that's a very nice bike! However, I am rapidly falling in love with the 250cc, Honda CBR250R.

According to the article, "sadly, KTM North America currently has no plans to bring it (KTM 200 Duke) to our shores. Perhaps the 350cc version scheduled to arrive late in 2012 will be more palatable to KTM N.A. and American riders." Amen! Bring on the KTM 350 Duke!

I'll be looking for the CBR250's when they start showing up on the used market for sure! :P

25 reliable horsepower for $2400.00? Totally worth it!

I agree.

However, the article does state, "sadly, KTM North America currently has no plans to bring it (KTM 200 Duke) to our shores. Perhaps the 350cc version scheduled to arrive late in 2012 will be more palatable to KTM N.A. and American riders."

Perhaps KTM N.A. will change its mind, and import the 200cc bike. However, given a choice between the two motorcycles, I would rather see them import the 350cc version.

Better yet, import both versions!

I understand and agree. I think that's an excellent value for a 200cc KTM.

Really a great value.

That is the price in India. If imported to NA it would be $5895 in the US and $7895 Canadian.

Not if a guy rode it home from India... :wink:

That is humour. I recognize it as such.
