Q. Hi, I haven’t owned a bike yet but I am planning to but my first .. I am currently learning how to ride on the pulsar180 .. should I go for the rc 390 or apache 310 or any other one as I really love travelling .. but majorly I would ride in the city and occasionally hit the highway and might even go on long trips as I live in kashmir and the college that I have got in in New Delhi so it would be a bit your so pls suggest me a bike as I can’t reach on a decision .. I like Royal Enfield’s also but there power delivery is even less than the one I am currently owning .. my budget is around 3 lakhs .. pls suggest?
  • We would suggest you go for TVS Apache RR 310. TVS has done an incredible job in ironing out the sore spots of the Apache RR 310 with the BS6 update. It is loaded with tech, making it the most technologically advanced motorcycle in its class. The new prices are quite close to its fiercest rival -- the KTM RC 390. While it may lack the outright performance of the RC 390, the Apache RR 310 BS6 makes up for it by being a well-rounded machine that can do daily duties as well as corner carving or even touring, for that matter. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you to take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership..Read more:- TVS Apache RR 310 BS6 Road Test Review
Q. Hi, I am looking to upgrade my Suzuki Hayate 110 cc. My Budget is around 3 Lakh, Should I Upgrade to Duke 390 or the Interceptor? or should I look for a lower capacity Motorcycle? My height is 5'5 and I weigh around 67 Kg. Please let me know the best bike for me as most of my rides will be in the city and occasional run on the highway.
  • As per your requirement, we would suggest you go for KTM 390 Duke. 390 Duke with a weight of 163 kg is easy to handle and manoeuvrable. Duke is an excellent choice for daily commutes and occasional highway rides. Its crazy price to performance ratio and the ability to pretty much make every ride exciting is what made it so popular among the masses. Also, you may consider, Royal Enfield Meteor 350. Meteor 350 has a refined engine, easy to ride, confident and practical package sounds just right. Meteor is very much home in the city, dispatching potholes and speed breakers with confidence.350 engine is better both in the city and on the highway, and more refined and practical as well. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -KTM Duke 390 vs Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.

    Best bike for the segment. 

    Best bike for the segment.The tft display takes the win for its segment.Faster than any other in this price point.Aprilia nailed the perfect price for this beast.Looks stunning.Engine is refined.But the brakes are its downfall you cant fell confidence in the corners with those brakes.Top speed is 180+.Milega can be expected 25/30 which is quite excellent for the size.Overall the best value for money bike.

    I was looking for a smaller 

    I was looking for a smaller capacity super sport.Chose ktm rc390 over the ninja 400 as it was more value for money.Then this bomb shell dropped and i had to cancel my rc plans to wait for the rs 457.Very likely that this is going to be my next bike.It's a bit expensive and the qs is optional.But this bike has got everything for a casual rider like me who who wants the go fast.

    Unlocking the Rush 

    "The KTM RC 390 rides have filled me with adrenaline expressions. The road of the machine details its power. The bike may be considered sporty, but also very fuel efficient. Its mean looks match its formidable performance. Comfortable ergonomics allow riders to enjoy a long trip. Strong engine produces contagious speed.

    RC 390 racing thrill 

    My friend got a KTM RC 390 motorcycle­. He let me ride­ it. It was so much fun! The bike is very light and e­asy to maneuver. You can turn corners smoothly on this bike­. But it's not very comfortable for long rides. You have­ to lean forward a lot when riding it. Howeve­r, if you want a bike that handles well and goe­s fast, this is an amazing choice. It doesn't cost too much money e­ither! The KTM RC 390 is one of the­ cheaper options among 390cc sports bikes. Just be­ ready to feel some­ strain on your arms and shoulders after riding!
