Hi all,
Appologize if my post/query has been raised before. Need urgent help. Me helping fren here. He weight 240lbs. He interested in duke200 and the budget is too tight to go for duke390.
Will duke200 deliver good power to someone weight of 240lbs or 109kg?
Wife and I are just over that weight together (~115kg) and while the 390 handles okay two-up, you're pedalling it along with the gear lever to get any hustle out of it. The 200 would be completely bogged down, I suspect.
D200 has a softer front and rear suspension, you can try to adjust the weigh of the rear sus. Or just change to an aftermarket rear sus. I'm 80kg .. D200 is too soft for me. D390 is just nice... abit harder would be better. Just IMHO.
Dukeitout, hes comparing D200 and Z250. But then hes more into duke.
Gregorgre, hes big size. Double my size.. Me weight 63kg. Haha
Phil, my fren here is well informed abt the soft suspension of D200. I witnessed the bike lowered down too much when he sat on the said bike. The best is that ill try to convince him to go D390.
me and my girlfriends comibined weight would be pushing the 180kg (not fat, we are both bodybuilders ) mark riding 2up and the 390 handles it ok, not great but ok. not too sure about the 200 though best just to take one for a test ride
