RC 390 is a fully faired bike with a front leaning stance. This may not be very comfortable for some riders. Besides, riding for a long time may result in a stiff back. Most importantly, the rider has to LEARN the skills needed to handle the bike in an emergency situation with regards to quick braking. I feel that the Duke with its upright driving position is a better choice. But it is imperative that you test drive and get a feel of the vehicle.

To be honest... If you ask which is a better vehicle in terms of performance, handling, controlling and stability with road grip... RC390 is much better than Duke 390.Now, if you are looking for latest features such as TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity which allows you to receive and decline calls from handlebar itself.. change songs.. increase & decrease volume etc. then Duke 390 is the best choice... also, it offers you the sitting posture which is both commited also and relaxed as well... whereas in RC390 its only commited riding position which May give you back pain and wrist pain if you are not used to riding sport bikes..

Bro it really depends since engine is same 373.4 cc so only difference is its riding position in rc you have more aggressive track bike posture while in duke its comfortable even in city rides i own rc, and ride every day even though its not that comfortable in traffics but I prefer it over duke. So its all ur choice if u ask me i would say go with rc but hey at the end its ur own comfort zone

I own Duke 390 and riden RC also . In cities Duke will be more comfortable as of riding position and easy to steer in comparison with rc. Both have same power but in a city riding a Duke is much easier but for highways where you just want to lean in and take it to highest rc will be better .

I would not recommend any of the bike above 200cc for daily use. I keep my RC390 for weekend rides and and Apache 160 for daily use. KTMs will be heavy for your pocket in terms of fueling and maintenance. Keep 'em for weekend rides with your buddies. :O

Buy whatever your heart desires, i personally have 390 duke, it's comfortable for me since I'm heavy, RC will be better if you're a fit person, also note that the Duke is faster than the RC in terms of acceleration, duke is 163 kg and RC is 170.
