  • 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

    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!
