Greatest Success Story of British Empire my foot. Your country robbed us a whole lot of things, we haven't forgotten it. India used to be the land of wealthiest people on earth and you left us with poverty, which we are facing to this date. However, it's time world recognizes are power as we have the third largest army in the world and we are projected to become a Superpower.

Great video vikas .. I am a r3 woner . Yamaha r3 is a fantastic bike fantastic power delivery monster like performance for 320cc bike . my bike 2017 model stock top speed 196kph ..

[@SuperImbadude]

After market slipons actually reduce the power in the d390 and affects the acceleration in higher speed. Its is due to insufficient back pressure and some resonance effects which only the stock provides. However after market air filters are able to extract 1bhp extra even in stock setup.(dyno proved) The best combination for d390 if you want performance is bmc/k&n airfilter with powertronics ecu. Since you race in the track often might I suggest the following mods: BMC airfilter, powertronics ecu and the throttle from 2015 dukes which has reduced travel and do away with the aftermarket slipons. And see your bike transform. All the racers down here in Chennai and Coimbatore have done the same exact mods for their duke/rc.

[@rvkvikas]

Thank you very much bro!

[@rvkvikas]

Thanks for watching mate! thanks for the inputs.

[@acidangelster]

Hi Vikas,excellent vid and explanation. From what I ve read, the significance of aerodynamics "kicks in" at speeds above 160 kmph.So basically u re demonstrating extremely well what a good aero dynamic set up on a bike can do. Lot of people have problems in understanding the relationship that aerodynamics has with the way a bike is geared/the kind of power delivery it provides during the rev range of the engine and ergonomics.U managed to address that really well.

dude first of all..you are by far one of the most honest motovloggers i have seen and congrats on that...now my question...is it safe to ride r3 at that speeds when it does not have abs??i mean...its not safe to ride that i knw...bt without abs it looked crazy to ride at those speeds...

Good video well said about aerodynamics I think every motorcycle enthusiasts must understand about it before judging about two or more bikes. Love your technical words as usual thanks and cheers. 😊😊👍💪

[@rvkvikas]

Thanks mate!

[@Dialysisforever]

These are the two bikes I am considering. I know people say the R3 and the RC390 are in the same class but the class of bike I am looking for is low seat height, light weight and upright seating position. Believe it or not, the R3 is a lot more upright than the RC390. I am leaning toward the Duke. Thanks for the video.

[@skupire6547]

Im thinking about picking up a Duke 390 for my little brother as a first bike. We live NYC though, so city riding 90% of the time, but I agree with what you said about aerodynamics and ergonomics. I bought a WR250X as my first bike, and when wind is against me, I can feel the difference in pickup and top speed substantially change. I also really like the sit up position so I dont lean in (also kinda looks doofy on a supermoto tbph). Always give and take with everything. Still tho, naked bikes look so fkn good lol worth the side effects for sure.

[@cloudwalker6586]

considering a fully faired RC390 & Yamaha R3 would be point of comparison... Yep agreed on Aerodymanics, Duke is more of Weight to Power street fighter!!... however appreciate you for the point as you talk about aerodynamics of a bike .... Nice Video buddy!!

Hi sir!! Nice video. I own a duke 390 nd i live in kerala! We dont have these beautiful roads here. Wat we do have here is small stretches with lil bit of traffic nd lot of spectators

[@rvkvikas]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@sushil1360]

Torque is meant to draw heavy loads. It depends on bike to bike, how much torque they deliver at a particular RPM.

[@theurbanhippies5944]

Hi Vikas! Great video! In your opinion, if you had to race and zig zag on the highway, including broken roads, which would be your bike of choice? The Duke 390 or the Yamaha R3? Which is easy to maneuver? Also, which handles panic braking better at high speeds?

[@compaq4810]

Vikas , whats the track playing in the background . Love it !!! Want to play it on my surround sound . Thanks !

[@antiquecollection8307]

bro i agree with you but r3 is twin cyclinder and the main function of increased cylinder numbers is to get high top end...

[@AgnivaPal]

The faster an object is the more mass it starts to push and the more gravity it experiences... Lol... R3 os no doubt much better in terms of aerodynamics. For people who hate this video (which I know many will), ktm doesn't advertise duke 390 for top speed.. It's all about fun, fun, power, fun, sprints, fun and pocket friendliness.. :p Thr 390 sprints to 150 then suddenly it engages slow-mo.. :p This is a very nice video. Keep up the good work

[@rvkvikas]

Thanks for understanding bro! :)

[@AgnivaPal]

+Vikas Rachamalla (iammotorbiker) just keep being awesome... :) :) :) smiles to you... :)

[@sinister83]

i think with the duke the only disadvantage is that it does not have a fairing..now to know this for sure that R3 is better than KTM, we need to do a test ride with the RC390 which is similar like R3 with the fairing on. I feel that will make a lot of difference..my personal experience is that when am doing more than 140, the wind blast is too much and that is coz of the design of the KTM..correct me if am wrong..and hey thanks for the vid :)

[@rvkvikas]

+SK Sridhar Thank you very much mate! Hope you are subscribed to my channel. Cheers mate!

[@Mettalchin]

I'm sorry if I missed hearing it, but did you consider gear ratios? Like many have said, apples and oranges here. R3 built for top end speed, Duke for agile street fighting. BUT, even if the Duke isn't as streamlined as the R3, if it were given the same gear ratios (purely theoretically), the Duke would, in all probability, keep up with or pass the R3. There's no alternative for displacement and bhp :) That being said, they're both beautiful bikes in their own rights.

[@gjklgdqk]

[@navneetsingh9706]

R3 also have a taller gear ratio allowing it to rev high on top gear while the 390 with a shorter gear ratio hardy reaches 11000 rpm but thats makes duke a better choice while rideing in urban street roads u just need to give some throttle and bang it shoots like a bullet

[@cowbackrider]

You could've gone much faster if you had leaned forward onto the tank. I doubt you would've been able to beat the R3 on the stretch but leaning forward would have definitely helped in my opinion!

[@amitmaity123]

Are your tyres metz? because same problem faced by my freind who switched from metz to pirelli. After 150 they just dont accellerate.

[@suryanarayanmondal3638]

This is not a four wheeler close the doors and nobody is hanging outside. The combination of motorcycle and rider (rider=human+gears) should be aerodynamic (or streamline). I own a Duke 390, and I can tell that this machine is more comfortable on a twisted mountain road rather than a straight Highway. I have tried this motor on NH7, Kodaikanal, Bodi Mettu area. And also on sand patch (15km) at Dhanuskodi where RE guys hire four-wheel drive leaving their precious bikes. This motor covers all the roads with ease. On Highways, above 120kmph, the fuel economy goes really bad due to the air drag. But, when you touch the mountains, this motor can lean more than what you anticipate.

[@GuyInIT]

its ok if u stay few meters behind .. considering the price difference btn two bikes

[@revzzrider]

leaning forward and tucking down on a upright handlebar also cause ache and pain on elbows which is so irritating..

[@rvkvikas]

Absolutely correct mate!

[@shawnpenn]

Hi Vikas beside aerodynamics the R3 is a twin cylinder motor !

[@rvkvikas]

Thanks for watching mate!

[@WingRiderRishabh]

probably that extra cylinder has also added to its character

[@UCBANDIT009]

What about build quality on the R3 compared to the 390 class KTM's ?

[@hooliganrider8859]

+UCBANDIT009 Full marks to R3 in terms of build quality

[@NVIDIAGeekify]

+UCBANDIT009 It's made in Thailand. Don't expect too much.

[@bellicromanx]

+XypherGhost R3 has better build quality no doubt. But if you're calling KTM an Indian bike, then R3 is not a Japanese bike at all. It is a Thai bike.

[@bellicromanx]

+UCBANDIT009 If you're giving the highest priority to build quality, consider the Ninja 300. It is considerably better built than R3.

[@bellicromanx]

+XypherGhost I did read the comment very well, thank you. I don't even understand the point of comparing 'Japanese bike' to 'Indian made bike'. It makes sense to compare bikes based on their engineering/point of building. Not apples to oranges. So, either compare Austrian engineering with Japanese engineering or Indian build with Thai/Indonesian build. R3 is as much a Japanese bike as RC 390 is Austrian. So again, I don't understand the point in stressing the 'Japanese' aspect of R3 when Indian aspect of RC is stressed. Japanese may be way ahead in tech, but how does it matter here? Just because R1/R1M comes with some tech doesn't have any significance wrt R3. Heck R3 doesn't even have delta box frame that the cheaper R15 and R125 get. R125 even gets USD. R3 is a plain, easy to ride budget commuter bike with a sporty engine. Nothing on the R3 says hi-tech or R series except the engine. KTM is very expensive there in SE Asia. So, they don't see enough advantage in it to pay much more. Come to developed world where both the bikes cost similar, KTM gets praise for the best handling in the segment which is one of the most important aspects of a sportbike. Every review mentions KTM as the sportiest of the lot and the most fun with the gruntiest engine. These bikes are beginner or intermediate level bikes there and there are much bigger and better sport bikes available there which the beginners will upgrade to. So, in the overall verdict, KTM may lose out because of aggressive stance and because most beginners don't look for hardcore sporty elements. R3/Ninja are preferred because of lesser cost and ease of riding. So your statement of "The only reason people are praising KTM is because its affordable" doesn't hold beyond India. Even in India, people turn away from KTMs because of Bajaj association and the lesser cost. The self loathing Indians would have drooled over it and praised it to sky if the bike was built exclusively by KTM or one of the Japanese or priced at 4 lakh+. Also, RC 390 is the only hardcore sport bike barring Hyosung GT 650R below the expensive Daytona and liter class. There are many who appreciate pure unadulterated sport bike experience including me and R3 isn't gonna give it to them/me. Heck, one of the test riders from Motorcyclist magazine, (one of the least biased reviewers), who regularly tests litre class sportbikes has bought one for himself and no he didn't buy it because it is cheap (it is more expensive than R3 there) but because of all its positives as a little bike which doesn't dilute its sport bike DNA or milk the badge name of its bigger siblings. Coming back to tech, the RC already has the R3 beat. The 2016 version is going to make it much worse for the R3. So in this case, the Austrians are, without a doubt way ahead. We can only dream that the tech rich Japanese would give tech like electronic throttle in their 4L bikes (let's think about ABS first, BTW), let alone 2.5L bikes. They'd be happy experimenting their tech with sticker jobs. All said, I really like R3 for what it is and it's all roundedness (mainly Yamaha's expected reliability) and that was the exact reason why I didn't go beyond the 'Japanese' aspect in my previous comment, but had to highlight the strengths of RC 390 which we Indians seem to conveniently forget just because of its association with a local brand or its cheaper price tag. I totally agree about Bajaj milking with 200cc bikes, but I won't go into detail there since it is way out of topic.

[@AjayAJ1001]

+SoulReaper599xx extra cylinder may be

[@SoulReaper599xx]

The only reason i can think of as to why the R3 would slightly pull away at top speeds is the gearing. And as for the second part of your comment, I totally agree with every point.

[@SoulReaper599xx]

+Ajay AJ I doubt an "extra cylinder" is the reason. It never about cylinders. Ultimately its about power, power to weight ratio, torque, aero to some extent which defines ultimate performance figures.

[@harryshawn97]

KTMs focus on outright acceleration which is the result of shorter gear ratio's. Shorter gear ratio's equals higher acceleration and limited top speed. take the KTM on twisties with a good rider complementing the exeptional RACE package it can smoke even 600cc's out there. Talking from experience.

+XypherGhost Valid points mate but The pain on wrist and shoulders only stays for week or so not forever. For city purpose RC 390 is not a bad bike unless if you're a tourer too because it is very nimble very flickable than any other bike in it's class including the R3 and money plays a very important role in our life. RC 390 provides the taste of pure adrenaline at a very reasonable price. But if someone have the money then R3 is the go for sure.

R3 is a twin cylinder bike. But even R3 has downsides. The current version don't have ABS. The tyre offered by company is MRF. So I'd say Duke is a very good package than R3.

you should try to compete rc 390 with r3. duke isnt the right competitor i guess. btw coulnt easily assimilate videos against your duke390. its your second video against duke. i agree every bike has its pros and cons but one should overlook the cons when bike like duke has given so much to the performance enthusiast riders.

[@atulpandey6500]

This video makes it sound like R3 is a faster machine and I am not talking abt the title only. Top speed has very limited relevance specially in India. Realistically most of the time we will be in 90-140km range even on highways and duke is faster there due to more power, way more torque n less weight. Hence, R3 must be great on smoothness or build quality but it's not a faster machine on 99 days out of 100 so I find this video a bit misleading n unrealistic
