They stood apart from the herd of commuter bikes, and ushered in a new reality for enthusiasts. The 200 Duke and the 390 Duke redefined our perception of performance and lightness.

The colour palette includes two options вЂ“ Silver Metallic and Dark Galvano. The quarter-litre motorcycle continues to boast of sharp and edgy styling. The slipper clutch feature prevents the rear wheel from locking while aggressive downshifting. This engine is linked to a six-speed gearbox that benefits from a slipper clutch.
