Which is Better RS200 or Duke 200 ?

Both bikes are powered by 200cc motors producing absolutely same amount of power. 1.Looks- Both are different looking motorcycles. Duke is naked bike and RS is fully faired bike with aggressive edgey styling with Twin projector type headlamp at front. 2.Riding Distance- Yes the riding position on duke is upright but it is uncomfortable for long distance ride. On other hand RS is good for long distance rides. 3.Safety - 200Duke don't have ABS even as an option and the single channel ABS option is available on RS in less price than Duke. 4.Ride Quality- Duke is very fun to ride bike than the RS, the punchy motor accelerates much faster than the RS thanks to the great power to weight ratio of duke. The USD at front and mono at rear from WP works great on highways as well as rough roads. On Other hand the setup on RS don't works well when riding with pillion and both are heavyweight. Riding Duke on corner is fun. Don't feel unsafe while cornering even at high speed. Duke is not comfortable for pillion at all. 5.Build Quality- Both are manufactured by Bajaj in same plant but components used on duke are good like aluminium swingarm, alloy wheels, forged aluminium castings for T. Duke is the clear winner in case of ride quality, build quality and aftermarket powerparts from KTM. But if you are long distance rider and concerns about safety RS will be a great choice for you. Have fun, Ride Safe. :-)
