Honda CB300R vs KTM 390 Duke | COMPARISON | Feat. Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 I OVERDRIVE

[@Geffo555]

Watching from the UK. A really pro review and you covered everything I wanted to know. I was a serious biker when I was younger but old now. The CB is definitely on my list. Also considering a rebel but it just looks ugly to me. Safe riding all.

[@HappyStar-qg6dp]

Honda is miles ahead of the ktm and RE in terms of refinement and reliability. It's also better to use everday. Quality always costs.

[@jakgt500]

The KTM 390 Engine has a compression ratio of 12.88:1 as compared to Honda's 10.7:1. Its pretty obvious that Honda will feel more refined and run cooler too. The compression ratio of the KTM is absolutely race spec and when you do that you have to compromise on refinement and engine life. And talking about the quality of parts it's not as bad as you say it is. I own the very same bike that is featured and I haven't faced a single problem with my bike. I once used to hate KTM's to tell you the truth but now I know it's not the bike that the real problem but it's the rider.

[@HappyStar-qg6dp]

@@jakgt500 I agree with you that the KTM is more exciting to ride by a big margin. I feel that as an every day motorcycle it is just too aggressive for me. It's also awesome VFM. Quality wise it is also okay. For me personally refinement,comfort and reliability are very important factors in purchasing a motorcycle.

[@jakgt500]

Yeah I really have to accept the fact that it's not everyone's cup of tea especially when it comes to riding in traffic. Every once in a while you just need something more forgiving.

[@mayukhsharma8465]

Better mileage on the honda as well and also the honda isnt that bad in terms of power 30 hp and 27nm torque is quite good and better than any 300cc currently in the market

[@MegaSlytherine]

Comparing the interceptor wid the KTM isn't fair at all. They are be priced quite closely, but both bikes are poles apart & have their fair shares of pros & cons & their characteristics are different from each other. The KTM is more enjoyable & is razor sharp while the RE is meant for a calm & sedate ride hence bringing it to this comparo isn't justified

[@m.rraghav817]

You don't understand the dominar cannot be compared with cb , dominar is more powerful, bigger engine but engine refinement and handling, dominar can eat dust over there. Moreover the cb300 target is g310r potential customers not dominar... Dominar sales target is that of royal Enfield fyi .

No he is damn right. Dominor is a naked power cruiser not a street fighter. Which means thanks to its bulbous 188 kgs kerb weight it is only good enough for highway cruising/touring/ mile munching. Bikes like CB300R or Duke 390 are naked bikes designed to be very agile/manoeuvrable both inside the urban jungle and the canyons.

[@bladhd6138]

For most riders, motorcycles need to go fast to satiate their lust for thrills. The Duke 390 is faster and better at handling than the CB300r, but for urban areas the reliability and ease of use with the CB300r is much better than that of the Duke 390. Personally, I'd pick the CB300r since working on motorcycles is not something I'd like to do every 3 weeks.

Having owned the previous Duke 390, the thing I didn't like about the bike was that it was a bad bike for city traffic. It needed constant gear shifts, it used to heat up a lot and it did not have good bottom end power. It used to be fun only above 4000 rpm and I didn't want to ride like that all day. I would personally prefer something like the CB 300R which can do all this much better and is also about 20k cheaper.

The Interceptor isn't behind on overall quality levels especially compared to KTM! Still though both can't match the Honda for overall quality..

[@aaassaeer]

CB300 is an overpriced city bike. It isn't an all rounder like the Duke 390 or even Dominar. People who usually own bigger sports/ADV bikes and want something fun for the city will opt for the Honda. Honda themselves understand this and have limited the selling quantity. I read they already sold off all units for 2019. Not sure if such a bike should even be considered for a review. Duke 390 is still the best motorcycle in this segment of looked at objectively. The only reason the Interceptor sells more (although doesn't belong in this segment) is because of the RE tag. Same reason why Activa sells more than Jupiter even though the latter is better
