If you live in a city like Pune, where traffic is much less than cities like Bangalore and Delhi, and where roads are broader and maintained better, then the Duke 390 could be a good choice for daily commuting. It is a sports bike, so it is designed to be raced, and not to provide the rider with much stability on the roads. However, if you live in a city with lots of slow-moving traffic and potholes, and a hot climate, then the Duke 390 is not the right choice for daily commuting, as it will be tiring to ride, and it won't be able to reach its full potential due to the slow moving traffic. You can expect to get 25-26 kmpl mileage, and you will also find it difficult to overtake other vehicles in slow moving traffic, as the Duke 390 has the widest handlebar among all street n***d bikes.
