KTM 390 Duke

BMW G 310 R
- The Michelin Pilot Street tyres lack grip, thus affecting the bikes braking performance & handling.

Awesome Product by KTM, this time they understand the Indian market very well.
If you are buying this motorcycle directly and have not driven a 390cc before, then this 350cc engine will give you the best performance. All the features are the same. Only the engine has a little less power, but that 4-5 bhp is not noticeable. However, the torque is a little noticeable, but as I said, if you have not driven a 390, you will not be able to understand the difference.

Power rocket
To be honest, I was confused between this and the the Triumph speed 400 but the 390 is just a different vibe. It's got an aggressive look that stands out in the college parking, plus in mumbai u need that instant power to gap vehicles. Nothing in this budget gives you this much performance , power , feel and technology its a beast!!.The acceleration is very unreal , but the enginge gets quite hot when you're stuck at a signal for too long. Suspension is a bit stiff, so you'll feel the mumbai potholes , but on highsway its very stable. Handling is very light yess but keep in mind its not a family bike. its for people who love speed and beginners pls stay away cuz power delivery is very sharppp. Best 400cc . Best for long rides and joyriding. Crazy beast for real

Best companion on the road
Rolls like a bullet and gives a comfort posture while riding . Only Buy if u can afford 90 litre of petrol per month and can bear the amount of servicing . The breaks are mind-blowing and too light to retard the tank capacity is sufficient . This bike' s perfomance is outstanding and I suggest you to purchase .

Review g310r
The BMW G310R is an excellent choice for those looking for a stylish, well-built, and reliable motorcycle for urban commuting and occasional weekend rides. However, riders seeking aggressive performance and cutting-edge features may find better value in competitors like the KTM Duke 390 or TVS Apache RR310
