                  THINKING it
                  I don't see the bike but i think it will be a killer machine, and destroyer of every bike uder 500cc. so it can make a good market in india if it low price and good service and low maintenance then it would be the first mini superbike for every indian middle class family, and in my personal view if it come onroad under 5 lakh then it would segment killer.

                  A delightful experience with my bike
                  It's very comfortable bike and I enjoyed it a lot but it's mileage is not a fact ... Because it's very fun to Ride it's engine is so refined that I can easily pull it up in traffic.... It's pick up and top speed is so good and it's graphics designing and electronics are so spoty and usefull ... Highly recommend to ride it once

                  A bike which is only judged by its looks and but not by its power the mighty 39T
                  A bike with good looks and with a good power with a semi fairing the initial speed is best in the segment and the leading class bike but lack in proper updates made its sales very slow and it caused the marketing a criteria of this bike section is of the leading one and its competitors like rr310 ninja 300 and many other are less powerful and less confidental infront of this machine

                  Best performance bike in its segment.
                  Im using RC 390 since the past 8 months I got a better experience while riding the vehicle. It gives a better mileage while comparing to its power and performance. I got around 22 to 27 kmpl mileage. But the riding comfort is not good we can't take it to a long ride. Overall it's a beast in its segment.
