KTM Duke 250 BS6 Launched With Updated Headlight In India

The updated KTM 250 Duke will get the same full-LED headlamp cluster that the 390 Duke uses. Other than that, there seems to be no change to the motorcycle. The instrument cluster is the same LCD unit as before, and not the TFT display on the 390, to keep costs low.
