Pros and Cons
- Positives
- Negatives
KTM Duke 390
- Improved performance means this is the quickest bike in its segment
- brakes feel sharp and predictable
- adjustable suspension handles bad road well even in its stock setting
- lower seat height should make it more accessible to shorter riders
- feels super light on its feet and agile when changing directions
- you can barely feel any engine heat
- even in bumper to bumper traffic and motor has become a lot smoother than before.
KTM Duke 390
- Some of the panel gaps are a little too pronounced
- H-rated Metzeler tyres feel a little squiggly when pushing the bike hard and the signature KTM orange colour option looks too garish in this model.

Thunderbird 500X3.8The overall experience is
The overall experience is good but the bike could have more colours.Seats are really comfortable and the positioning of handles are also perfect.It's been more than 3 years i am having this beauty and it's worth the money.Though in comparison of continental gt 650 it's mileage is slightly less.
