केटीएम 390 ड्यूक [2021]

First of all, it's top-notch in its segment. If you want power, performance, and looks then you shouldn't think twice before purchasing. If you love riding long distances, go on rides then this is it if you have a budget within 4lakh. This bike has more features than any 500 - 600 cc bike on the market. It can easily outperform any bike in its segment. For me, I use this bike mainly for traveling long distances/ trips. I don't use it for the daily commute or in the city. Once you get a habit of this bike, there's no going back. You won't feel confident in other bikes because their electrical system, performance, braking, and riding modes are more advanced than the one's in 5 - 6 lakh range. The servicing would cost around rs 2k to 3k every 7500kms. But I service it in every 6k kms.
Pros
1. Great performance & control.
2. Nice tft instrument cluster
3. Good looks.
Cons
1. Feels overpowered for city use.
2. Gets heated in city use.

समीक्षक के बारे में

1) Buying experience was terrible, they changed my address and registered my bike in another RTO.
2) KTM service stations are the worse when it comes to good mechanics. General service is terrible. Please check your local KTM service station's Google reviews and study their comments. That should give you an idea of things before you buy the bike. They forgot to put the spark plug properly, didn't clean or lube the chain and there was soap water in my tank.
3) Had bad issues in getting my Warranty and Extended warranty claims. They try everything in the book to reject your claim.
4) Parts used are definitely cheap, had to change the head and the Arm within 18k kms, and the headlight clamp broke within 10k kms and that's worth a lot, their warranty team and service center team acted very unprofessionally
5) Its a fast bike, but it has maintenance issues and parts break off within 5k kms. Stock crash guard bolt cut off, so had to use all sorts of juggad to handle that.
6) TFT screen is not impressive, with lots of moisture and flickers, if you ask the service center they say it's normal.
7) No proper mechanism for customers to escalate issues, you'll meet very unprofessional service center managers who are not interested in solving the issue. They don't have a centralized call center number like other brands nor will you be able to escalate without running pillar to post.
8) Biggest gripe is that the bike has a lot of expensive parts and their warranty team will find ways to reject the warranty which impacts the customer's pockets and the experience.
