You're not getting variable ECU modes
with the 200 (or 390 for that matter), so
what you're left with is a simple, comfort-
able ride that has more than a touch of
Duke attitude to it.
You can get after it in the corners quite
happily on the 200. The 43mm WP Apex
fork is non-adjustable—although there is
preload adjustment out back—but the ride
is, for the most part, comfortable and the
chassis retains good poise when corner-
ing.
It's certainly sprung for someone
with, err, less mass than myself. At 190
pounds, you'd probably want to be 30
pounds less than me to fit the optimal
weight numbers for the 200. If you're in
that range, you're good to go.

There's no mistaking
the family lineage
with the Duke 200.
(Bottom left) There are
no LEDs for the main
headlight, although
you do get an LED
daytime running light.

standard tubular
steel frame is shown
in all its glory. Check
out that stumpy little
underbody exhaust!
