                  One of the best performances sports bike with great mileage in city around 24 and on highway 30 which is good according to a sports bike with this much performance, writing style is also very comfortable, not to aggressive and the bike, very easy to manuver. I think you should go for this bike if you are looking for great performance with efficient mileage and comfort riding style.

                  Review of my duke 390
                  My purchase of the bike was the best thing ever. It was always my dream to buy a 390 and the performance is the best in its class. The maintenance is very cheap, mileage is decent according to this engine. Overall, its the best bike in its segment. Beast for a reason. Comfort and performance is on next level.

                  Its a great bike for beginners. The quick shifter, cruise control feature and the throttle response makes the ride really smooth. My experience with bike has been amazing and even on long rides the ride is comfortable. There is nothing more to say about it, you just have to experience it. At this price range, I don't think you will find a bike with these many features.

                  The beast on the loose 9k driven only KTM Duke 390
                  Most aggressive 398 cc powerful bike only driven 9000 km in less than 2 yrs. It delivers a surgical riding experience with a punchy engine that surprisingly settles into great fuel economy on long highway scratches. It just got minor scratches on tank pad else its mechanically mint. If you want raw power then this is for you.

                  very best bike
                  Riding experience is too good, this bike is futuristic at this price range. looks are awesome 398 cc, this bike can handle turns very well, maintenance period is too long 30 kmpl good range as an 400 cc bike. Very well designed, engine performance is too good into 3.5 lakhs segment good option to buy.

                  About the bike
                  It was my dream bike and it's so reliable and smooth. It has many features, like multiple riding mods and the trophy version has a ERC that means (easy riding clutch) it is very helpful to the beginners. The handling of the bike is very smooth and it gives around 20 to 24 milage on an average in highways and its seats are so much comfortable and it has a heating grips which helps me in early morning rides. I like to recommend this bike to the proper off-road bikers and they love this very much because of its handling and ERC you can also adjust the suspensions of both side and have a good off-road experience.

                  good vehicle high waiting period
                  I went to the BMW Bengaluru showroom, they are not even accepting booking and the vehicle already has 8 months waiting period which is very high for a made in India bike other than that very good looking and stylish bike with ERC clutch. Very easy to maintain in the city and bumper to bumper traffic conditions.

                  BMw F 450 Gs is best in segment
                  BMW F 450 Gs is amazing bike. I mean spaciously trophy variant is amazing. I just booked it (BMW F 450 gs). I think this is best bike under 10 lakh. Power, road presence, torque every thing is just wow. Of road capabilities are promising. BMW know for their tech and engineering. In short this is one of the finest offer .

                  Excited for the bike to be launched
                  I am desperately waiting for the bike the headlight looks very interesting. I got chills when I saw the bike's introduction video. the color scheme is perfect. the TFT display makes it look more futuristic. the power output of the bike will be crazy, especially on the trails, I hope the bike has good low-end torque which can help in the trails. although this bike is a big competitor of the Himalayan the BMW F 450 GS will be priced aggressively, at the end of the day it is a BMW. At the end of the day I'm just waiting for the bike to be launched and I get to see the bike in person.
