Why should one consider a G 310 GS against a much cheaper and more powerful KTM 390 Duke which is already proven?

Question

Mrinal · Accepted Answer

I own a 310 GS and I would not give KTM 390 even a thought! 1. The comfort of riding the 310GS is incomparable. 2. It looks far more premium than the 390. Even if you hide the logo and put both bikes side by side you will notice the difference. 3. It gives me a rather 'bold and confidant' personality rather than the 'always ready to race' stigma attached to the KTM. 4. Oh I'm an engineer and understand speed, power, torque, time, space and gravity very well, but please don't start off with numbers again...

Good question but only if seen thru the lens of price and power. The baby GS offer much more in terms of its offroading ability. Were the KTM 390 available in an ADV avatar, the baby GS would have stood no chance.

When I buying 310gs, there was no other adventure tourer bikes on that price range except RE Himalayan & Hero Xpulse. I owned a RE motorcycle before, so I was not ready to buy an RE motor cycle again. Xpulse was too small to long rides. If my purchase was in nowadays I will definitely go for KTM 390 Adventure
