KTM 390 Duke Price in Gautam Buddha Nagar

1. I purchased in August 2018 and it was difficult to find Orange but White was readily available.
2. I buy it for highway riding only to free from the shackles of rail and airlines.
3. Gen 2/Bharat IV was the first Indian launch which was launched world wide with same features and looks. Unlike before, KTM decided not to create disparity between Indian users and users across world especially Europe.
4. It needs genuine parts which are only available at service centre. Regular service irrespective of KMs run make the bike readily available for highway use. It needs maintenance of chain lube/clean and oil spray on electrical during winter.
Pros:
- Excellent power to weight ration.
- All the Bajaj Dominar parts are inter changeable i.e. from nut to piston head
- Same as international model launched.
- Highest number of service centres compared to Kawasaki, Triumph, BMW, Ducati, Honda Premium segment, Suzuki Premium Segment, Indian, Harley.
- Tyre options available from Ceat to Michelin.
- Can go non stop 6000km or 800KM/Day.
- It can go without starting radiator for 800km if highway air keep on falling on engine.
- An option for users who need more than utility bike but cannot afford 600cc cateogry.
Cons
- Not at all for city use which is widely misinformed among users.
- City air is insufficient and thus, start radiator at once decreasing mileage and gulping petrol.
- Only available to those retailers which sell Dominar parts ie. 400cc category.
- Not for beginners.
- Service cost is more than utility bikes but less than 600cc category.
- Chain needs cleaning and lubing at every 400-600km, depending upon the road cleanliness.
- Out of bound for local mechanic.
- One part failure can make you strand anywhere.

About the Reviewer

I would love to request the KTM owner to rebuild the 2022-23 model. That looks much more beautiful and is best with simple looks. The new version looks like a chapri-modified bike with the design and color combination. The 2022-23 model would have been better for KTM growth but now the new version. So please bring back the 2022-23 model.

The engine & gearbox combination. The reasonably priced spares exclude some main components.
Strong brakes, with sintered pads and better brake fluid. Good handling communicates with the rider.
