Custom-Build KTM 200 Duke-T @ Thailand Motor Show

Over the podium of the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer at the Thailand International Motor Show, 2014, a new member has joined the KTM Duke 200 family. As, the motor show is going on in Thailand, the Thai-based custom built has got an amazing opportunity to showcase their experiments. The Kunka Custom Department has displayed its very own designed KTM Duke-T at the Austrian Two-wheeler maker's podium. The firm has been waiting for so long to get a stage over there, but finally they ended up showcasing their newly designed vehicle along with the factory-build siblings.

The Kunka Custom Department has baptized KTM Duke 200 as Duke-T. The custom department has given a whole new direction to the designing of the sports motorcycle. Although, they haven’t touched the mechanical part of the motorcycle. The changes which have been made are revolving around the engine. The Kunka has brought up an off-roader motorcycle from a company built Street-fighter. The off-roader KTM Duke-T is featuring knobby alloy wheels, catered by Pirelli. The paint scheme has been done with a matte grey color.

The most noticeable changes in the customized KTM Duke-T are its triangular shaped fully-faired headlamp guarded with two round-shaped blinkers. The under belly exhaust in the company-built version has been replaced with twin silencers, which results in the increment of ground clearance. The engine cowl is also misplaced by the custom makers. The paint job has been done very carefully as the fuel tank is painted in matte grey color and the remaining part of the motorcycle such as engine and frame receives black color.

The KTM Duke-T is powered by the very same single-cylinder, fuel-injected engine carrying an engine displacement of 199.5cc. The liquid-cooled motor is mated to a 6-speed transmission. The 199.5cc displaced engine is tuned to belt out a total power of 25 BHP and a peak torque of 19.2 Nm. The company stock motorcycle has received WP Telescopic front forks and monoshock at the rear. The braking duties have been taken care by disc brakes at both front and rear.

The new avatar of the KTM Duke 200, a street fighter motorcycle as an off-roader is pretty much exciting for the Ready to Race fans. This inspires them to get ready for an off-road adventure.
