Most of us love to ride bikes especially youngsters. Most of them were between 18 to 26. Usually they are college students. Some of them may afford high end motorbikes. But most of them cannot. The two bikes we are going to compare today is dream for many youngsters. Superbikes were a common sight in movies and advertisements when we were young. We have all harboured fantasies of having a superbike at some point in our lives before realising how expensive those vehicles were. Even though if you can buy those bikes it is impossible to run those bikes in daily basis. Today we are going to compare two bikes which can be used as daily commuter and sport performance. Let’s contrast these two bikes.
DESIGN
Starting with design both vehicles are significantly one of the most attractive design in this segment. The sleek, naked look makes the bikes more attractive on the road. The MT-15's headlamp has a different audience; it looks like the face of an alien, and its rear look is aggressive. The slim seat makes the bike more sleek. On other hand duke has its set of audience. It’s a perfect example of a naked bike. The trellis frame is bare naked, and its colour combination highlights the frame. When it comes to design, both bikes are looking good. Anyway, design is always optional. Each person has their own preferences.
PERFORMANCE
When it comes to performance, both bikes offer outstanding power, but Duke 200 produces more power than MT-15 owing to its larger cubic capacity; nevertheless, this does not imply that Duke is superior than MT-15. Duke is heavier than the MT-15, which has a superior power-to-weight ratio. Moreover, the MT-15 incorporates Variable Valve Actuation, which widens its power spectrum. These advantages allow MT-15 to outperform Duke in terms of top speed. In summary, the MT-15 has a faster peak speed while the Duke has superior 0-100 timing.
