125 Duke latest price hike takes the effective increment from first BS6 launch to Rs 33,000 which is around 24 percent. This is simply outrageous!
What started as a 1.18 Lakh motorcycle is now a significantly costlier preposition. No, we are not talking about the 200 Duke (it was also introduced at 1.18 Lakh but way back in 2012). We are focusing on a fairly recent launch – the 125 Duke which became the company’s smallest and the cheapest motorcycle in the lineup.
