                  Best bike ever ktm made.
                  Best bike for those who want performance and electronics or i can say that perfect combination of power and safety. But yeah not for beginners who have never driven 300 or 300+ cc bikes for them duke is definitely going to be a kill machine the performance and braking system is providing great performance, and it's just insane.

                  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

                  Yes i would recommend this bike and please add too
                  Better looks than other bikes with good road assistance, because the overall looks and road presence of the bike is more good than any other bikes and i would recommend this bike to everyone, who's looking for comfort. Pretty much good, comfort is really nice, smooth and classy, look wise its amazing and all features are really good, bike mileage on highway is good than any other bike, bike performance is really good. Yes i would personally recommend this bike to other people, because it is much more efficient on reaching faster with good, safety and better comfort and i would personally recommend to all others and other than that i would say that the bike is comfortable and more presence looking.

                  Bajaj airlines
                  I chose the NS400Z mainly because i wanted a bike that was powerful sporty and still practical to use in everyday life, I really like its aggressive looks and the performance was a big reason for my decision, after comparing it with other bikes NS400Z felt like the best overall package for me. It feels like a airlines, man to much performance under this budget, bajaj made a beast that no other brand has ever did if you want to feel the power and performance you should compromise with fuel mileage. For sure i'm gonna recommend this beast to my all brothers who don't have much budget but want to feel the speed of it, i will hundred percent recommend this bike for you, just make sure you do proper PDI before taking delivery.

                  Beast in 400cc
                  Look aur performance ki aisi machine chahiye thi, jo city me bhi makkhan chale aur highway par pull deti rahe. Iska beast look dekh kar hi dil aa gaya tha. Stunt me bhi achi power hai. Best bike in 400 cc. Experience ek dum next level hai, Handling mast hai, corners pe confidence deti hai aur mid-range pull toh gajab ka hai. Long rides me bhi maza aa jata hai, koi thakaan nahi. Acceleration or top end achi hai. Ek dum Beast Machine, Is price point me mujhe nahi lagta hai ki is se achi bike koi or hogi, kyu ki is price me 150 cc or 200 cc he milta hai par Bajaj ne is price pr 400 cc bike de raha hai jo ki kabiliyat tarif hai.

                  Mind blowing bike with great design and features
                  Road friendly when I move this through bumbs and dumps it is bread and butter, easy to move as my height, display features shown all the information to easily manage bike, e20 feature that is needed in this time. Very cozy because my leg reach correctly to the ground on this bike, and this bike never stagger on high wind blowing, and leave a impression on other and make me more noticeable, and great pickup speed when needed. I recommend this bike because it has great comfort and perfect hight for a mid to tall person, best services at showrooms, and if you're searching for a e20 latest vehicle try this it will never regret you, thanks.
