                  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

                  A love that few can posses mileage is absolutely fantastic
                  I just want people to know upfront that the 30+kmpl mileage is absolutely fantastic. In real life, R3 gives about 18-20kmpl in the city and 25kmpl on the highways. If you are buying an R3 with mileage in mind, when you're wired in ways, it may cause short circuits. I have owned one since Feb of 2020, probably the last one in India at the time, and can vouch for the excellence of the machine that it is. Especially in cruising. The ergonomics is so comfy. It’s mainly a tourer really, but can be just as good a daily go-to riding vehicle. Anyone who owns a showroom owned R3 can vouch that it’s the greatest sub 500cc bike in the Indian market, and by far at that when wholistic consideration is a thing.
