I have been using an Activa for almost 8 years now & occasionally ridden bikes. I am planning to buy the Duke 390 as my first bike. Is it advisable to go for it or go for a lower CC bike. Let me know your thoughts on this.

Its not necessary to go for lower CC bike you can go for the higher CC engine. Take a test rides of bike you like and if you fell you can control the bike and ride it comfortably than go for it doesn't matter its 125cc or 390cc or 1000cc. it depends on you and day by day your riding will improve.

Begin from 125 cc..the left brake of activa is the clutch in a bike...so be careful..
