My height is 5.3 can i purchase this bike - Duke 390?

Question

Anshul Khanna · Accepted Answer

Hey Abhishek, that depends on how much experience and expertise you have in terms of riding fast bikes.Duke 390 has a very high compression engine, in fact it’s the only fastest bike in India which is having highest pick-up and speed in the price range it is sold. There is no bike which can perform better than Duke 390 in terms of that price bracket.Hence, if you are a really good rider, Height shouldn’t be an issue. Still I would suggest you to take a test ride from showroom and test your limits. According to me, during the test ride you should be focused on riding the bike extremely slow and try to take U-turns in slow speed and check wether you are comfortable doing so ? If yes. Go for it.

Hey buddy, don't worry about the height because my height is also 5.3 and i own duke 390 bs6 version and the seat height is 830 but i can manage it very well because i was using duke 200 before. well i can touch the ground half from both side. it's not about height it's all about how you control the bike.

Kartikeya Singhee · Answer

Hey Abhishek! Why dont you have a sit on it and check it out. But one word of advice - dont let height keep you from getting onto a bike - I have ridden bikes on which even climbing on was a pain.. but once you get going you get used to it. And with time you can figure out how to use just one foot to get the job done. for instance - while pushing the bike bac=k while sitting on it takes effort.. when on a tall bike, just hop off and push it back.   And if you need inspiration - check this out -   https://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/news/a24671/1985-peak-wtf-moment-a-tiny-belgian-won-dakar-against-all-odds/    Take care!

Pranav Shriram · Answer

Absolutely, the bike is not only made for riders who are tall, if you can tip toe on the bike including high heel boots etc. at a signal or at stand still position then you wont be having any issues. It all depends on how you control the bike in spite of your height. Never think that you cannot go for a bike because of your height. Never k**l the zeal of owning a D390 because of your height. ~Pranav

Indraroop Goswami · Answer

I'm 5'8 and can completely flat foot on one side and tip toe on the other. If you're 5'3, it will be a bit difficult for you. I suggest that you go check the bike out at the showroom and take a test ride if available.
