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.

Yamaha MT-03

  • Looks aggressive and muscular
  • Engine offers good refinement and smooth power delivery
  • The light weight and low seat height makes the MT-03 a very approachable motorcycle

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.

Yamaha MT-03

  • Engine lacks outright punch to make this a fun motorcycle in the city
  • Lack of features makes it a bit too old-fashioned in the segment
  • Being a direct import
  • prices will be high.

Q. I wish to buy a street bike. I’m short and I have selected 4 bikes. I am single so I need to pick my mother and father may be, so which bike is good for a pillion rider? My dream bikes are BMW G310R, Honda CB300R, Benelli TNT 300 or Yamaha MT 03.
  • Yamaha bikes are the best in terms of quality and Honda is the king of pricing. So decide what matters more to you and get that.BMW
  • I have CB 300R, Using it from April 2019. Its all quality and Good ride, Low maintenance. Pillion comfort is very poor though.
  • Blindly go for triumph speed 440 , if you are not short i would have recommended triumph scram 400x....these two are loaded with every features and best bikes with amazing and unbelievably cheap exshowroom price

Q. Gd eve team, which is best, NINJA 300 or Yamaha MT 03? Let me know on what basis you're listing your options, whether you see BHP , NM or Mileage? I am curious to know about TVS zeppelin also, your comment on that please.
  • Hello Vivek, The Yamaha MT-03 has not been launched in India yet, and is unlikely to enter the country any time soon. The Ninja 300 on the other hand has been heavily localised with competitive pricing. It's a good all-rounder with a decent balance of efficiency and power. The TVS Zeppelin is just in its concept stage as of now. We believe TVS will take at least a year to bring the Zeppelin to production. Even then, it is likely to have only a small-capacity motor as the brand- known for sporty motorcycles would just be testing waters with a cruiser.
Q. Which would be better in price and performance between Yamaha MT 03, KTM Duke390 and BMW G310R?
  • Go for duke 390 because low maintenance cost but bad mileage and it has super top speed I have crossed 170 and its 2020 model
