KTM 200 Aroma Indihenya Kental Banget

Brader sekalian, monggo kita lihat si Duke 200 ini dari berbagai sis, baik dari spek maupun  model

1. Model

Model mongtor ini ternyata tak jauh-jauh amat sama mongtor-mongtor jepun Indihe macem TVS atau Pulsar, monggo kita lihat poto berikut:

2. Spek

ENGINE
Type: Single-cylinder, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled

Valve Train: 4 valves per cylinder, DOHC

Displacement: 200 cc
Bore x Stroke: 72 mm x 49 mm
Power : 19KW (25.4 bhp)

Power : Weight = 185 bhp/ton and Ninja 250′s P:W = 191 bhp/ton. A difference of merely 6 bhp/ton. Need I say more?
Starting: Electric

Expect a full electric system as seen in the flagship Bajaj- The Pulsar 220.

Transmission/Gears: 6-speed

Yet another first for a bike that is associated with Bajaj and will role out of it’s plant.

Fuel System: Fuel Injection

Bajaj came up with the Fuel Injection with its flagship bike. Later, in interests of higher sales through lower price tag, the fuel injection was dumped for a cheaper and hence came the ‘Carb’ 220.The latter produced more power from the same motor and that alone says that Bajaj needs to master the art of fuel injection. Theoretically, a carb setup cannot be as efficient as fuel injection can. That will make me say that Bajaj really needs to embrace this technology of fuel injection and master it properly.   

CHASSIS
Type: Tubular space frame made from steel
tubes, powder-coated
Front Suspension: WP, Telescopic Upside Down

Forks

Rear Suspension: WP, monoshock

Finally !! A ‘mono’ on a Bajaj.

Suspension travel Front: 150 mm

Suspension travel Rear: 150 mm

Front Brake: 300 mm Disc brake

Rear Disc Brake: 230 mm

After seeing the 220, we are not surprised. 

Steering head angle 65°

DIMENSIONS
Wheel base: (1,361 ± 15) mm

That is one compact wheelbase! The bike should be fun to ride, maybe one of the most nimble performers. I feel that on tight corners, R15 owners should beware !! 

Ground clearance (unloaded): 170 mm
Seat height (unloaded): 810 mm
Total fuel tank capacity: 10.5 litres

Okay, we are surprised again. And after being used to Pulsar fuel tanks, we should.

Dry Weight: 125 kg

The first thing that came to my mind after getting to know the weight was L-I-G-H-T. Remember how much praise the R15 got for being lighter than the rivals? Even the 135LS is not very high on weight and all thanks to its favorable power to weight ratio, the bike can sure out performs a few 150cc bikes of our market. And with a dry weight of 125 kgs coupled with 25 bhp, the upcoming KTM will sure be one quick machine. 

Now what remains to be seen is the selling price and after sales pricing of this KTM. It may be noted that Bajaj is known for inexpensive spares and we expect a similar story for the KTM series. Fingers crossed!!

Nah dari pemaparan di atas oleh Motorids ternyata kebanyakan dibandingin dengan Bajaj, kemudian dai model coba monggo lihat tak jauh beda dengan P 135 atau tvs 160 rtr yang nampak di foto atas. Ya, aroma indihenya nampaknya begitu kental, wajar wong yang bikin pabriknya pulsar. Satu yag paling terlihat adalah mesinnya terkesan growong alias kegedean body, ini terjadi pada seluruh tipe pulsar, juga termasuk Tiger.
