The KTM 250 Duke uses a combination of the 200's bits - tyres, engine electronics, meters etc - and the 390s new equipment - (base) engine, suspension, body and steel tank to create an interesting middle model 1

The 2017 KTM 250 Duke right side switches now only have the engine kill and the engine start switches, the headlight is always on. The engine start is a one touch switch now - you depress it and leave it, the motorcycle starts without you having to hold t 21

The 250 gets new rims shared with the 390 but the same MRF tyres as the 200 Duke. The new tail unit and the new LED tail lamp design both look striking and unique 23
