The adaptability of the 300-400cc motorcycle segment is growing with each passing day and the KTM RC 390 is one of the most popular models of this genre. However, it has multiple contenders to lock horns with and one of its newest rivals is the Keeway K300 R. While the Keeway is a visually pleasing motorcycle, we were curious to know if it can beat the RC in real-world riding conditions. Well, to answer that, a comprehensive comparison test was the only solution. If you want to know which one turned out to be the winner, click on the video attached below.
Now, if you compare both bikes on paper, the engine displacement and performance numbers of the RC are considerably higher than the Keeway’s. On the flip side, the latter is around 7kgs lighter than the former. Moreover, the refinement levels and tractability are also crucial aspects to scrutinise, especially when it comes to motorcycles that are used on a daily basis. So, a real-world battle between the bikes by riding them back-to-back is the only way to come up with a winner.
In this video review, while we have stacked the bikes up on various fronts like engine performance, handling, and comfort, we have also compared their city behavior and touring abilities. This was crucial, especially considering the fact that the new-generation RC 390 is much more practical and versatile than its predecessor.
