Pros Cons of Yezdi Roadster

Pros

  • Refined engine
  • Comfortable ride quality
  • Good performance

Cons

  • Limited sales
  • Looks similar to RE Meteor
  • Uneven panel gaps

Verdict

As an everyday motorcycle, the Yezdi Roadster's engine has been tuned for precisely that kind of use; short dashes around town, and for the occasional long-ish jaunt. The stance and overall design of the Yezdi Roadster are somewhat of a hit and miss, and even in the dynamics front, the Jawa Forty-Two feels more agile and planted. But if it's a true-blue nostalgia-filled Yezdi you're looking for, the Yezdi Roadster still looks the closest to the old 250 cc two-stroke Yezdi bikes from the '70s.

Pros Cons KTM 250 Duke

Pros

  • Updated 249 cc engine with 30.57 bhp and 25 Nm of torque, providing a smooth and engaging ride
  • Significant weight reduction of 8 kg, improving agility and handling
  • Advanced features like a 5-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth connectivity, ride-by-wire, and quick-shifter

Cons

  • Vibrations noticeable between 4500 to 5500 rpm, particularly during highway cruising
  • Stiff ride quality despite increased suspension travel, which may be uncomfortable on rough roads
  • Pillion seat could benefit from better padding for longer rides

Verdict

The KTM 250 Duke gets design inspired by the KTM 1290 Super Duke. The motorcycle also gets a dual-channel supermoto ABS mode. The 250 Duke continues to be powered by a BS6 compliant 248.8 cc single-cylinder engine which makes 30.50 bhp of power at 9250 rpm and 25 Nm of peak torque at 7250 rpm. In terms of rivals, it goes up against the Suzuki Gixxer 250 and its sibling, the Husqvarna 250 Twins. It is one of best options in the 250 cc naked sport motorcycles.
