केटीएम आरसी 200

For 2 lakhs i would say this is a great dual sport motorcycle. Ideal for city due to it’s light weight, great on highways as well and obviously shines offroad. Seat comfort and breaking performance could be better but still considering it’s price, one of the best bikes under 2 lakhs.

The NS200 is a capable, practical motorcycle for a beginner. It's not specialised for one set of riders. It's a jack of all trades, which is important because a beginner doesn't usually know what they want from their motorcycle before starting out, so having a bike that offers that latitude is a massive plus point. It can be a corner carver like the Duke or a tourer. The bike has the capability to do both; in some instances, it's even better than the Duke for touring because of the gearing and more cruising speed. Think of it like an exam where scoring 80% is relatively easy; the last 20% is difficult. Extracting the last 20% needs aluminium swingarms, trellis frames, and DOHC, which makes the Duke 40k more expensive than the NS. The Duke is 100%; the NS200 is 80% of the Duke.
