What is the real world rideability of Pulsar SS400 against KTM RC 390?

The real question is, will KTM be able to sell at least the same number of bikes as before the SS400 came out? It may be that Bajaj is using it to retain customers within its own brand rather than losing them to KTM.

I believe they will coexist just fine. See how Honda handles the CBR and CB series. Different strokes for different folks!

The Bajaj marketing team will have a problem with this. Both will really have to work hard to differentiate the two models and justify the existence of both in the lineup.

The SS400 launch might make the Dominar obsolete and hence, the bike might need a refresh. The new kid on the block may actually steal its thunder because it has been around for a while.
Is the KTM 790 Duke’s little brother, the Svartpilen 801, worth the premium over it?

Absolutely worth it. Stunning design and it turns heads everywhere. You’re getting exclusivity and style that the Duke can’t match.

No way. That's just a fancy Duke at a higher price. If you want performance, save your money and get the KTM.

Depends on what you value. If you care about looks a lot, go Svartpilen. The Duke is the better deal if it's pure performance.

In ride quality, the premium components of the Svartpilen do make a real difference. The Duke feels more refined than this.

If you can afford it, I’d say it’s worth it. The Svartpilen is that conversation starter and has that cool factor the Duke doesn’t have.

Neither. If you can’t afford a new bike, get a used Triumph Street Triple R and you have the best of both worlds: style and performance.

Something that will help the Svartpilen hold its value is its uniqueness. One thing to think about if you think you’ll sell.
Is the KTM 390 SMC R actually good for beginners to learn stunts and supermoto techniques?
23 January 2025 11:44
It's perfect for learning! On the one hand, light enough to be maneuvered easily, but with enough power to pull off proper stunts. Just invest in some crash protection first.

Start on a cheap used DRZ400SM or something, no way. When you're learning stunts, you're gonna drop the bike a lot and those KTM plastics ain't cheap.

The real problem is that it’s probably too easy to stunt on. The bike is so capable, you could develop bad habits. If you start on something slower, you can build the skills properly.

It's a great middle ground. Fun enough to be powerful, but not crazy enough to immediately run it doing a wheelie. Just respect the learning curve.

Learn to actually ride the thing properly first, forget stunting. Don’t try to be a YouTube star before you master cornering and body position.

The problem is insurance. If you tell them you're going to stunt it, good luck finding affordable coverage. Might be better off with a dedicated stunt bike.

For backing it in supermoto techniques it will be amazing. That’s exactly what you want in that style of riding, that light weight and flickability.

You know, supermoto's are supposed to be a little abused. It should be fine to some learning drops as long as you protect the important bits.
Will the KTM 390 SMC R work for taller/heavier riders?
23 January 2025 11:44
Tall riders will love it! Perfect for legs that are long. It might be a bit small for really heavy guys though.
