the RC390's biggest problem is the gearing. the 6th gear is useless. If the rev drops below 6k RMP at any speed, it will take a long time for it to come back up. This makes it almost unusable on highways. Imagine you have to down shift with every bit of application of brakes. I don't have to imagine cause I have one. And the stock brake is shit. and the size it chose makes it very hard to find an after market replacement for the caliper. Although I managed to find one form Taiwan. Other than that, all good.

Maybe is time to upgrade to the Ninja 500, from what i've heard it's got great torque, good on the highway. The RC390 was one of my favorite small bikes for a while until the Ninja 500 came out, 51 hp and 31.7. ft. lbs. torque

@@plt4415 The Rc has had 2 updates sofar, whilst the Duke 3 or so

[@xAbhimanew]

as a indian i can conform duke 390 was launched at under 2 lac now its 4.15 lac. still a dream for lot of people to buy a new one. but never buy a new one. get a used one.

[@abinashswain451]

I am a Yamaha fanboy and I feel really bad about the R3. In the current scenario I am forced to like the Nija 400. My heart says R3 but mind says Ninja 400. To whom I should listen to...!!??

[@ferbinxyz]

Neither! Both Ninja 400 and R3 are overpriced and lacks features compared to competition. Go for Aprillia RS457 instead.

[@chrispekel5709]

Ride both and then decide of course. R3 should be a little cheaper

[@abinashswain451]

@@ferbinxyzYes the RS 457 is surely better equipped but the motorcycle is yet to be launched. The engine is brand new, we don't know how it will perform over a period of time. I am a bit sceptical about its reliability. In this regargs the R3 and Ninja 400 are trailed and tested. As far as the electronics are concerned, I don't think electronics are that necessary in a motorcycle producing less than 50 bhp. More electronics means more risk of electronics failures.

Started in India , now KTM will be counted as pulsar , build quality is too weak worst😂

[@virupakshawalla5734]

I have 2 bikes. One is an 18 year old pulsar that has done 95000 km. Hole in the exhaust makes it sound like a Ducatti 😂. It can lug luggage too. 😮.

[@alankritkumar7823]

Well in terms of engine build quality and warranty, CF moto is the worst

Worst! India can’t give best, new 390 not strong ,

[@Kiranrj91]

It’s not a big deal to own a KTM any more and it is not 3 times costlier. It is only 30% costlier. Please don’t make a buzz over nothing.

Fun fact in India ktm/ Duke are considered as (chapri bike)cringe bikes U can find a lot of videos regarding that on KZbin or on any platform

i get it but here in europe we don’t get so many options for small sport bikes with good prices as you get in india.. i fell in love with some indian beginner bikes and if they were in Europe ktm will be cringe to

Superbly smooth narration. I see a RC the odd morning parked in a secondary school) (middle school in the States) car park. Geography teacher fronting as a squid. Dainese leathers in class.

[@arnoldsalazar9392]

rc390 dominates the sub 400cc class. performs better than all with the exception of the zx4rr.

[@titancodm1098]

And the ninja 400 too.

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

And honestly the cbr500r (despite yammies propaganda), you're not getting a fuller bike that what it is for the money.@@titancodm1098

[@arnoldsalazar9392]

I think that the ninja 400 is allround better than the RC390, in terms of "rideability", comfort, reliability and some other stuff. But on performing on the track, I think RC beats ninja. Never ridden a ninja tho.,@@titancodm1098
