Recently Asked User Questions

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.

User Reviews of Comparison

  • KTM RC 390
  • QJ Motor SRC 500
  • The RC 390 seems amazing and mind-blowing. I hope the design would just grow as it did with the old RC390, and I'm already living the design. Its similarities with its bigger MotoGP siblings. The 2022 RC390 will get new chassis, new wheels, bigger breaks, which saves a whopping 13.5 kg than the previous version. The new RC gets the same state of tuning but gets a bigger airbox which in turn produces more torque. The new design is also more aerodynamic and overall all these factors result in better handling, faster accelerations and a claimed top speed of 11kmph more than the old version. I'm just waiting for its launch in India and book it, Hope it will turn out to be one of my best decisions in life.

    I think qj src 

    I think qj src 500 is a sober and decent-looking bike with a small fuel tank, But a stylish approach can be noticed all over the body.The color option to highlight the main component makes it appear more eye-catchy.The fit and finish are good, And an unbeatable road experience as it has a 480cc engine which gives the best refinedness ever.
