Don't underestimate the RC 390's practicality. You can still drive it in the city, but yes, it is sporty. It might be more comfortable in the SS400, but it might be a tad uninspiring next to it.

The SS400 might have a slight advantage in heat management. Given that Bajaj has more experience with Indian conditions, it is likely to run cooler in traffic than the KTM.

I don't think so. However, the riding styles of the SS400 and Dominar 400 are different. The SS400 will be the choice for sport bike enthusiasts, but if you want a more versatile machine, then the Dominar will be your pick.

In fact, it could even increase the sales of Dominar. However, the SS400 will help Bajaj get more attention towards its 400 cc lineup and some people who find it to be too sporty can go for the Dominar instead.

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?
28 January 2025 09:39
Absolutely worth it. Stunning design and it turns heads everywhere. You’re getting exclusivity and style that the Duke can’t match.
Is the KTM 790 Duke’s little brother, the Svartpilen 801, worth the premium over it?

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

28 January 2025 09:39
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.
Is the KTM 790 Duke’s little brother, the Svartpilen 801, worth the premium over it?
28 January 2025 09:39
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.
Is the KTM 790 Duke’s little brother, the Svartpilen 801, worth the premium over it?
28 January 2025 09:39
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.
Is the KTM 390 SMC R actually good for beginners to learn stunts and supermoto techniques?
23 January 2025 11:44
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.

23 January 2025 11:44
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.
