- In this vlog style video, I talk about whether the KTM 250 Adventure (or let's say any KTM motorcycles) can be ridden in a calm (non-aggressive manner). I have shot this video back in February 2024. I am hoping that this series will be of help to identify the nuances of the bike.

Nice work bro..❤
Thank you so much 😀
Hey !
Nice video , surprised though I cannot do 55 on 6th gear that easily. 50-5th , 60-6th gear.
Also a request ,next time you ride, can you share a good quality snapshot of your handlebar from rider view . I might zoom in to check the alignment of ktm logo placement and other things , as i feel I got a tilted/faulty handlebar from showroom, so asking for good quality snapshot.
Sure, I can do that.
Thank you so much ☺️
Hey! I got to test ride the Duke 250 Gen 3 and the Adventure 250 recently.
Coming from a 100cc vehicle, this is quite a step up for someone new.
The Duke felt like it was teaching me how ride, kind of like holding my hand to understand how to ride it. While the Adv 250 expected me to know how to ride it and felt like it laughed back at me in case I did not do what it expected me to.
I love the commanding position of the Adv, and how ot even handles.
My primary use will be city commutes and I will not discount long rides.
Would love your input on which would be a better buy because the Adv 250 has the Gen 2 engine. Thank you!
If long travels are rare, the Duke 250 definitely makes more sense and you definitely did read the motorcycles right. The Adv 250 is not forgiving at all, it just wants you to make all the proper adjustments at the proper time or you might find yourself stalling the bike.
Which is why I recommend the Duke; however, if you can adapt to changing gears (A LOT), don't mind the heating in rush hour traffic, don't mind the coarseness of the bike and enjoy the commanding view and the relaxed seating posture, pick the Adventure series over the Duke. If you're 5' 10" and above, the Duke might feel cramped during long runs.
To put things in perspective, I miss my old Gixxer 150 in the city. Easier to park, move around, filter in traffic, no heating and such. But, I still can't imagine going back to that cramped seating posture; that's the story of my life.
I sincerely hope I haven't added to the confusion.
Thank you for the quick feedback and the clarification.
I stand at 5'11 and the Adv 250 was the first test ride. Duke did not feel 'cramped' but it did not leave enough room for me to move around which was a little annoying.
My gripe with getting the Duke is that there might be a time where it would have taught be very well on how to handle it and get boring in maybe a year or so.
And I get from your reply that there will be a bigger learning curve on the Adv.
I cannot let go of the feeling of the commanding seat on the Adv. But I have come across so many videos which mention sub-par build quality of the plastics. I believe you have also mentioned that people tape it up to reduce the rattling and noise.
One more thing is I'm not really a specification bound guy, and I would like to own a mechanically newer vehicle for the asking price.
Also, the Adv 250 has a bash plate to protect the engine casing that the Duke 250 doesn't have. This is also one of my major concerns.
I will probably start going on rides more often once I get a motorcycle!
The confusion has come down a notch but it still remains as I am half way here and there because the Adv has only gotten cosmetics upgrades after 2022!
@@ApurvR Don't worry about the learning curve, id definitely does require some getting used to, which would mean a lot of riding in the initial stages after purchasing the bike. Being a lengthier and taller bike, taking corners is quite different (there is absolutely no reason to be worried, our mind require grasping the knowledge about the center of gravity); after that, it's a breeze.
Yes, the build quality is just abominable and you would just wish for the front section to stop shaking like tube man. Once its above a certain RPM, there is reduction in the shakiness. The plastics are trash and there seems to be no genuine effort to make it better in their latest iteration as well. If you have the finances, check out the 390 Adventure X as well. As you said rightly, they just change the paint scheme and increase the price.
Another suggestion is to check out the Himalayan 450, it impressed me a ton; however I am clueless on the long term issues of the motorcycle (if any). It's remarkably better when it comes to smoothness, build quality and is more forgiving than KTM Adv's.
Hope this can iron out some more of the confusion. Thanks again ☺
Wierd noises 😂
Ha ha 🤣🤣
