Well,congrats for booking the Duke.
This bike has got decent handling,grippy tyres,good braking and a good riding position.
On the performance front,I have already mentioned 'Rev happy engine'.
The engine of this bike revs very cleanly to 11000 rpm and being true the fun starts once you cross 6000.
Since you have been in motorsports hence you can harness its character far better than me.
What is missing?
Simple,it has got a 200cc powerplant and on direct comparison with CBR 250,this bike easily fades away.I mean CBR's high speed handling and dynamics are far more predictable and definitely its more comfy too(it is subjective,you can find duke more comfy).FE of both is nearly equal as per my experience.
Why I asked to wait?Because Pulsar 200 NS is around the corner with equal power and performance for 20-25k lesser than Duke.
SO WHEN IS DUKE COMING?
