The RC250 and Duke 250 will be launched in Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Turkey, Thailand and many more Asian markets. In most of these countries quarter-litre bikes are highly preferred.

The KTM twins are expected to compete head on with Honda and Kawasaki, who provide single cylinder motorcycles in these countries. Pricing of KTM will be aggressive and will entice several buyers.
