I've been riding this bike for the past 7 months and my experience has been amazing. The riding position is surely a bit aggressive but I've come around it. The bike has a significant road presence and is a great eye-catcher. The parts are readily available for this bike and there's no hassle to acquire the parts.

The ktm 390 duke offers superb value for money and offers a perfect blend of performance, handling, and affordability.
Yes, it's not a "new" motorcycle, if you're looking at all-new models on this list. But there's a very good reason why the ktm 390 duke holds a position as one of the most well-known entry-level performance motorcycles in India. It's immediately identified with iconic motorcycles like the yamaha rd 350, and the made-in-India ktm 390 duke can easily hold its own as one of the best bang-for-buck motorcycles, with a superb combination of performance, handling, and affordability. The ktm 390 duke will remain one of the most iconic motorcycles to be launched in the last two decades, and it just has to be mentioned in any motorcycle discussion. The period depends on the bike. As for insurance and maintenance, I wouldn't bet but consider staying.

One of the best performance bikes in this segment.Ready to race with a really high speed of 200km/hr. I have driven it for a year now. Very good looking and high performance. The new front glass cuts air helping in speedy rides. Can be used as a commutable bike as well as long tours. Its seating is committed. The white color was a great choice. The maintenance cost is more than avg but really satisfying.
Better than its competitors like apache 310rr , kawasaki 300 nd bmw 310 rr
Overall.

Braking is fantastic

The bike performance is good but, the back seat is very high for ladies to sit on..
And for the new model, the front light beam is superb and very sexy.
Flexible braking and nice tyre grippers.
Looks better to watch...
Ktm is a sports bike to enjoy speed ..
The service is better and support,
A little bit expensive spare parts to ktm
Overall, it is nice and superb ...

KTM 390 is not my personal bike ,but i will pure experience this bike
23 weeks ago
Pritalbhai Pramodbhai Vasava
I bought this bike in June/2/2023. First thing first, the looks on this bike is awesome and have a really good road presence, i lose count of how many time i have been ask about by other riders at a traffic red light, second the service quality is awesome since it is tied up with luxury bike brand such as ktm but the problem is finding one luckily the only service center in surat is just 18 km away from my home and not too far from a metro station, lets go to cust service i have a problem with my bike it was not turning on after a my 2nd service i call ktm cust service they sent a guy to my home under 24 hours and fixed the problem in no time kudos to Motovault service center in adajan,surat seems like my fuse box was not place properly on the place were it suppose to be and water was able to go in, the tech identify the problem and fixes it and place the fuse box on it place after that i can wash the bike peacefully without fearing about the electricals, the big orange flag is the spare parts are just damn expensive, interms of engine perfomance the engine is refined and reliable for a 390cc bike and handing is good and the comfort is okay but here is the main thing as a first time rider i thought this would be a good bike to start with but the power is soo less on this bike anything that is over 105km its dangerous the engine is struggling and the rear wheel start wobbling and the vibration is just bad!! but on the bright side, the mileage is awesome it gives at least 45-50kmpl so yeah but personally speaking anyway I would sacrifice mileage for performance after a few months of owning this bike I realized it is just not for me, so the bike is good in all accounts good looking, peppy, lightweight, good handling and consume less fuel but the bike is just not for me.
