Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

KTM 390 Duke
- Much more affordable than the 390 Duke R
- Feature-loaded to the gills
- Adjustable suspension available as standard
Yamaha MT-03
- Engine performance is flexible enough to allow for slow city commutes and fast highway rides
- Great handling - feels light, changes direction quickly and feels stable when leaned too
- Design - the LED headlight looks aggressive and the MT-03 has that overall feel of a sporty and compact streetfighter

KTM 390 Duke
- Misses out on the raw KTM performance
- Polarising design isn’t to everyone’s liking
Yamaha MT-03
- Cramped seat - no space for taller or larger riders to move around
- Firm suspension - suspension kicks back when ridden over really bad roads and even the slightly bad roads aren’t absorbed all that well
- Lack of features - ABS and a basic fully-digital console is all that it has. Misses out on a slip-and-assist clutch, quickshifter, traction control and even Bluetooth connectivity - things that its competition have
- Extremely expensive price tag

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

The Raging Beast
It is a great bike. The pickup and power delivery is amazing. I love this bike. Yamaha have done a great job Yamaha. The top speed goes beyond 160 for me being a big guy. But the exhaust notes on this with an after-market exhaust is 💕. I love this bike. The price is worth the thrill this gives. I give it a 10/10.
