KTM RC390 is Value for Money
The bike has Got everything a rider wants. You can take it for touring and as well as for daily commute. The bike has so much power stored in it.

Bike for the Real Rider
The KTM 390 Duke is a wonderful bike. It delivers an awesome riding experience and it takes no time at going higher speeds. The handling is quite good but it takes me some time to get used to it. On the clear roads there are no any engine issues but in the case of traffic jam, it heats up pretty quick. One more thing which goes against the bike is its horn and headlight. I would recommend to change the headlights and increase the horn intensity so that you stay safe.
Best Features: Ease in Handling and Looks
Pros: Appearance, Easy gear shifting, Handling
Cons: Weak horn & headlights, Lack of storage for kit/papers, Engine heating

The braking system is quite impressive which is the standout feature of this bike. Coming to the downside, you will notice that the fuel tank capacity is quite low where cannot expect long tours. The clutch is too heavy and the quality of wheels are also not good. On the other hand, the throttle response of this machine is rough, especially at low rev ranges. The another issue with this bike is engine oil which sometimes starts leaking which reduces the oil level.
