Friendly Race: 2017 Duke 390 vs Yamaha R3. High Speed. Part 1.

[@bhaskarasudheer]

10:48 I've experienced this on my D200 with R15.. I can't believe my eyes. I'm on 132 kmh and one R15 2.0 Guy crossed me in slowmo.. Like a Thug.. 😂 less horse power, less Torque compared to mine.. Still he took me like a breeze.. Kinda awkward feeling..

[@rohan9630]

Bhaskar Hotshot that's bcoz of the rpm lock :p

[@EvolutionMachinetoMan]

its because of the fairing.

[@rohan9630]

duke 200 with power tronics goes 150 :p

[@doc5734]

Lol

[@thelastsonofkrypton]

Bhaskar hotshot can you pls show that video

[@shubham4074]

Really nice video Vikas Bhai. Just love the R3. R3 is just awesome . It's really a great bike.Thank u for this video.Good luck

[@mayukhsharma8465]

One of the best video i have seen from you in recent times. You seemed very excited and who wudnt be. Love that r3. Would love to see a friendly race between 2017 rc390 and the r3. Very nice video keep it up😊👍

[@daviddaimary7734]

11:15 "Yes it revs higher but revs don't mean higher horse power or higher top speed." Thing is, two bikes on the same gearing. The one with a higher rev limit will be faster, even if it has letter hp provided it can reach a higher rev than the other bike (with the same gearing). For example, with the powertronics box, the rev limit goes higher and the top speed is higher. Even more so when either a larger front sprocket or a smaller rear sprocket....

[@emptiness3390]

gaurav Saikia Yamaha will win

[@thelastsonofkrypton]

I have compared my R15 V2 with 200ns , Duke 200, 220 , Gixer , finally Bullet 350 with these all bikes head down to my R15 , sometimes I feel I'm not Riding a 150cc, it's much more than ...The best 150 cc bike , with style everything R15, but I can't forget my first UG4 pulsar 180cc clipon handle , 2009 first model it was also good for handling & Cornering , I bet P 180 while high Cornering I can easily lift up from ground-level , but R15 not, that's the problem I feel in my V2 , I was using my V2 from 2014 , feel perfect till now ,I love it

[@jj.4167]

u cant not beat yamahas engine.....they r masters

[@anandhuanil4724]

Gokul krishna r15 lol

[@MandarZade_]

Buddy I feel your level of enthusiasm, we'd be good friends lol, I'm mostly energetic but speed gets me going. Could relate to your reactions

[@YashSingh-bv6jg]

I really liked your sense of humour!! you keep on entertaining!! moreover both the bikes are really well built!! r3 is meant for higher speed cruising and has got a full fairing while duke has more aggressive acceleration and more like a naked performer!! nice video though!!

[@TubeRoyal77]

vikas bro.. can I know when you are doing the give away of the jacket

[@sas1deep]

it's the same route I go cycling everyday (almost every day :) )

[@rvkvikas]

Thanks very much bro. Hope you are subscribed..

[@AJ.Motopsych]

Vikas Rachamalla ....Been following you for about 4 years now, so....Proud Subscriber here !! :D part 2 was awesome as well. Cheers Pal :)

[@PavanMS87]

freakin hilarious video..good one . Vikas did you like the RC 390 better than Duke 390? heard RC is little more aggressive

[@Josh-ft3ri]

hey Vikas have you noticed that the India spec 390s don't have the skf fork seals, whereas the press bikes and the white export spec bike, which was sold by mistake in India has them?

[@mani9389]

I liked.. so crazy video... btw I agree the power of r3, It feel like Breeze while riding and overtaking at high speeds.. smokes out other vehicles effortlessly..

[@vkrishna0612]

Can you make an A-Z video of booking the duke 390??

[@AlphaHazard]

Most entertaining vlog till date!!

[@World-Through-My-Lenses]

is d R3 running on a stock exhaust??? don't u think dat wld hd made a difference???

[@prashanthkumar7911]

Dude I Am planning to buy hyosung GD 450 is it good or should I opt for Kawasaki 300

[@motivationalvideos367]

Bhai duke 390 6th gear pe and higher rpm pe chalaya to engine ko koi problem hota hai?

[@KAMALDOMMETI]

nice one mate... I'm from vizag... planning to meet u when I ride to Hyderabad soon...

[@prashant02145]

which camera helmet? how many hours do you shoot videos on helmet camera??

[@1122334455da]

Whether R3 is a fun motorcycle as duke in its rev range?

[@prashantabarman1779]

Please review yamaha fz 250

[@THEvedaE]

Dear Vikas.. What is your opinion on yamaha r3 vs ninja 300

[@sportsbiker7167]

#vikas rachamalla bro i did 190 on my r3 installed with akra slip on i was also surprised but r3 never stops it keeps pulling

[@theurbanhippies5944]

Exciting video Vikas! Got a question for you as you have experienced several powerful bikes. if the road is a really steep hill climb, which has to be covered at a slow pace of 20kmh, considering power figures and weight, how would you rank the Duke 390, Yamaha R3, and the Bullet 500? Which bike would do it the best? Just trying to understand how the bhp and torque would come into play considering the motorcycle weight as well.

[@Girivan2023]

vikas anna ... pls let me knw I booked it one... is this bike can't have capacity to cross 170kmph...pls chepu anna

[@Taitea_____]

Bos should i go for duke 390(2018) or r3(2018) pls suggest one for me. I live in hilly areas.

[@subhadeepsaha847]

Does the new gen 390 still has the same engine cut-off issue?

[@Girivan2023]

vikas bro r u unable to cross 162kmph?????

[@shreyasgs6676]

Vikas sir...please take fz25 test ride once and let us know how the bike is...

[@lonewolfzerosixsix]

that was one hell of a ride, brotha 😯😯

[@mikhailrashid1447]

Does india have any supermoto bikes?

[@skandyblaze220]

My 2017 Duke headlight would turn off automatically while riding and again switches on after few seconds. Any suggestions?

[@somenathroy6543]

Which one is more faster the rc390 2017 or the duke390 2017?

[@xmen172222]

at the end u see that r3 doesn't have stock exhaust..I suspect akropovic I think that makes the difference

[@me23xfhg]

fucking Yamaha?! lol!! Yamaha guy was just chilling even when you were redlining..

[@johnkbijo]

150 kmph is cruising speed for the R3 bitch😂😂😂

[@me23xfhg]

yess.. also i don't find much difference between r3 and ninja 650-2017 in terms of performance..

[@bikrom100]

I was myself surprised. Had the exact same race. A KTM passed at around 140, fully crouched. Pulled the throttle, passed easily and when looked at the speedo, was doing 165, did not even realize. Toyed with it till the next toll.

[@me23xfhg]

r3 is proper touring bike in sport mode. only downside is lack of abs and 17ltr tank.

[@AmiNathy]

Vi aap konsa camera use krte hai..

[@sahoosdenonwheels5573]

Vikas bro it has 1 less tooth on rear sproket...so less wheel torque.. replacing wid the old sproket might help reaching the rev limit faster n quicker top speed..i think??? I have already booked duke 390... can it hit 170kmph?

[@karteekpenugondaa]

bro please suggest me a perfect helmet for duke 390

[@ahammadjaseem5642]

Where did the previous gen duke went... we all know ur friends are certified badass riders..

[@NishantSethigeek]

Waiting for your review of the new Duke Vikas!

[@ghayasudinaqib]

i wonder what the fuel efficiency was when you were ripping it.. any chance of it to be 20+..?

[@ramilahakim7637]

Ghayasudin Aqib About 14 or lesser on the old 390 during top end

[@sammaelprez3262]

I think I'm watching from front to back your videos haha. What is your cruising speed where you consume less gas? REGARDS

[@SZZKHOISAMURAI]

Does he have same vedio pls do share

[@bhaskarasudheer]

What a energy man!! You just Rock. You're still a Teen n Crazy as Hell.. We want this energy in you.. all the time mate.. 😍

[@rahulap1930]

try a race after unlocking rev limiter to 13 k rpm n a sprocket change I'll be on par in fact u can do speeds close to 200

[@lalithkiran77]

wow what a ride. awesome rush of adry

[@michaelerandio3848]

Because of that race with your friend i will buy Yamaha r3 😊

[@mdshoaib348]

which speedo metre you have used

[@rohit22514]

Vikas Rachamalla same with R15. there is something magical with it. I mean Less capacity engine, Less BHP, Less torque, but still it manages Beat higher specs bikes than it. I think yamaha pours some potion in there bikes :p

[@rohit22514]

*magical potion

[@AgnoySarangay]

first to comment 🤘 new vlogger on the block bro.

[@mohit1544]

as nikhil said .. sab ka ego satisfy hota he that mene better bike kharede!!...grow up kids both r fantastic bike ..but i think vikas shud make a serious race 0-100 between r3 and new rc390. thumbs up if u agree..cheers!

[@nickg2983]

[@subrukudipudi4807]

[@rvkvikas]

+Pavan Koneru Bro, please email me your cell number [e-mail]

[@Girivan2023]

[@shuah9392]

Yamaha r3 in india hav restricted top speed of 175kmph compared to international yamaha r3 hav top speed of 190+kmph. 😅 totally enjoyed th video.

[@rvkvikas]

Thanks for watching. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe.

[@subhamchakrabortyvlogs7529]

New model duke 390 will suit a tall man??

[@TheAxe504]

Its a freindly race!Things get very different in race track!Having more power is not an advantage in straight typical highway.If you want to see the real power of the duke 390 come to Khopoli(about 68 km from Mumbai) and bring any motor cycle you think that deserves a "REAL"test.Peace from Goregaon night riders XD XD

[@rajeshmb6745]

I think Guess gear Ratios are stacked up differently.Iam sure the RPM of YAM may be bit too higher that Duke & as thus keep the engine higher rpm & stressing way too much.Continuous riding in that speed may wear out the Yam Engine Faster for sure.That's game. Anyway RC390 may be better tool for this kind of racing ,I guess you weigh more than that guy. Anyway still enjoyed the vid.

[@ANKITKUMARAKL]

it's the gearing ratio that is helping r3 to achieve higher top speed and Duke 390 in better acceleration.

[@sadafkhan4077]

Is it Gud to a 16 year old to ride ktm

[@narendra_hegde2]

Super commentary :-)

[@rvkvikas]

+narendra hegde Thanks for watching mate. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe

[@raghu973]

R3 rocks in highways 😂😂😂 but the drawback of R3 is it's not available with ABS in India and the price is huge and it has some cheap tyres (MRF)

[@zaifanadi67]

@9:53 you know right you have one more gear ??? 🙄

[@cthompson0531]

R3 getting respect in India my friend

[@rvkvikas]

+Chris Thompson Thanks. Hope you enjoy my other videos too and hope you subscribe

[@cthompson0531]

Subscribed - hope you return the favor and check out some of my R3 videos!

[@bonvincentagbisit4503]

R3: twin cylinder, 8valves Duke390: single cylinder 4valves There's no way duke390 can beat the shit out of r3 on the stretch in stock form. Duke390 good for low end to midrange power. While R3 got some top end power

[@RANALDO79]

Vikas ur sure getting ur thing on in this video hahahaha

[@SoumendraBagh]

Maybe a aerodynamic wind sheild change the result..

[@Superbikesam96]

if u plug a power tronic on your previous duke 390 u wont say the new duke 390 is better , but we gota admit that the 2017 duke 390 has some awsome features that most 600 cc bikes dont come with

[@1122334455da]

Still waiting for Part 2😍

[@shubham4074]

Yes Yamaha !!! Rev Your Heart...

[@jay_9058]

Bro put it on tracks.. Not on roads.. even though it seems less traffic...

[@Alx_609]

change the exhaust for a full system , an try new, :)

[@akshaydomnekar9139]

Yamaha is way better than KTM , it's very refined bike compared to KTM

[@lil_siamese714]

Akshay Domnekar you mean “kid’s training machine”? Jk jk

[@horizonrider508]

Yamaha ko kid mat bolo nahi toh akshay aajaye ga
