Vikas Sir is most underrated RU-vidr! I had literally missed so much information on previous “Ride reviews” I watched but finally decided to buy a duke 390 after watching this video 🙌🏼
In the beginning you said that you would talk about comfort but didn't talk about seat, riding posture, heating compared to old 390. Felt like you skipped a lot of things...still a thumbs up for the first ride👍
nice video bro @vikas rachamalla............is any ECU problems occurring in your bike ? and issues that headlight not working properly ? i have saw some video in youtube ......
Hello Vikas- grt vdo 👍🏻 Need ur opinions- me and my bro are 5.10- we want to start long left dream of touring- starting from Ladakh in next season- we have 2 REs but not satisfied somehow- old tech. Can the new 390 be a good tourer- is the seating cramped like outgoing version. Thanks and cheers👍🏻
Pls pls reply bro... seriously enjoyed perticullarly this video u behaved like a KID and that jump and said buddies it was just AWSM...Ur giving lots and lots of infos about bikes... thank u bro...love from tamilnadu😀😀...keep doing...
Great video.. Could you tell me the specs of the gloves and your jacket...I'm in Mumbai..it rains like hell...any suggestions for the helmet you are wearing
hey friend! I am looking forward to buy it in my country. Bu honestly, I were confuse between it to RC390. I love the way when i sitting on RC. Is there any chance to low down the handle bar and trying to sitting like a sport bike...
hello vikas have been watching your videos since a year.Just wanted information and clarity on a question that has been bothering me for a while.Ive seen a lot offroading videos in which people are submerging their bikes above the silencer and i think you did too the dominar if i remember correctly.Can you tell me if it damages your motorcycle and what precautions to take before and after.Keep up the good work.
They are right. The ride by wire has lag which is not noticeable by regular drivers. the response of ride by wire will be slow since BSIV norms are very stringent compared to Euro IV in terms of particle matter. so the ECU plays best optimum part of ingredients to combustion chamber which will provide some lag through CAN BUS communication system. but lag is not noticeable
Hi, nice review, I have a question. I did a test drive of rc 200, and I find that bike a little bit of uncomfortable in driving, as I have to lean forward to ride rc 200, so is duke 390 suitable in riding,? and is duke 390 suitable in traffic and daily riding bike? pls ans as this bike is not available for test ride.
hey vikas can u tell me from which showroom the bike got delivered from ? because I have booked a 390 and the showroom guys are not giving me a proper feed back of when my bike will come
what about the seat? is it comfortable or is it the same as the old dukes. I own a duke 200 and the seat wasnt comfortable so I had to make some changes. also about the heating
very Nice video Vikas.. loved it... I own a Mojo but plan to change it for ABS and handling reasons... I dont mean Mojo is bad but I need something better.. should I go for the dominar, RC 390 or the Duke 390? please suggest. thanks
If you like fairing and sports feel, the RC is the machine bro, else the Duke 390 is an allrounder.. completely a persona choice bro.. I would still but the RC 390, as it is more of my style, for track riding etc.. Thanks for watching bro!
Vikas Rachamalla thanks for the reply buddy.. just want to understand.. doesn't the RC has a low ground clearance and keep scraping the underbelly when compared to the Duke.. also in case I face a sudden pothole in a high speed.. will the RC be able to Cope? Thanks...
hi vikas. i am confused between ktm duke 390 2017 model and benelli 300. what will you suggest ? and why ? also benelli is 1 lacs higher than ktm. it would be very helpful if you do give some suggestions.
bro vikas i dont have much knowledge about bikes....but i have been seeing ur videos on duke 390 for quiet a while....i wanna ask only one ques.....can we remove the guards which are placed in front of the clutch and handbrake on the handles of bike?.....thats it bro....and thanks for letting us know alot about this bike.
Thanks for the ride experience video. I'm excited about this bike, but I'm brand new to riding so my question is should I pay more and get the 2017 or is the 2016 good enough for a new rider like me?
I guess this question might be asked by a another guy in the d25 video. We all know these D25 n D390 do come in by slipper clutch, but you are doing a clutchless upshifts is it good?? I thought we can do a clutchless upshift in a quick shifter can we do that in a slipper clutch?
hiii vikas i have duke 200 2014 model i would like to fitt bar end sliders i asked to ktm service center thy said to change total handle of 390 or else u can fit bar end sliders of pulser which one is the best i have seen ur recent vedio of duke 250 bar end sliders of that bike is just like pulser bike plese suggest me which one is the best or can we place yamaha fz sliders it will be fitted or not
great review.....I am confused between dominar and duke 390......heart says duke 390 and brain says dominar 400....my commute is 50 kms everyday in the city and once in a month highway ride of 300 kms.....plz suggest....
Hi, my name is Amit & m frm Kolkata ...I m a big fan of KTM 390 .. bt after the launch of Dominor I m confused which bike 2 buy b2in Dominor or KTM 390.... becoz of the price. cn U plz sugest me...
at last part, is your vehicle on main stand because my ns 200 sometimes gives false neutral and when i hit starter, the bike jerks and stops. So i always prefer to pull the clutch before starting the ignition.
Vishnu Simba why do they not launch Duke 125 which is sold abroad? because it will cost more than the Duke 200 sold in India. As Duke 125 has the new body/frame from the current Duke 390. And even if they sell with the old body and frame it will cost very close to Duke 200. And not even close to 1l
great video. only one problem- the camera angle was a bit weird. It made watching the video it bit confusing. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say
i have subscribed you approx a year ago bro. you are doing a great job keep it up. and i have a persional opinion i hope you don't mind that you should add maintainance cost(engine oil change,brake pads, tyres,sprockets) of the motorcycles too. It would be a great buyers guide for us thank you
I have yamaha rayz and owning it from last 3 years and have been using for daily commuting and bit of weekend rides...i want to buy ktm duke 390 2017 model...will i b able to handle it
thanks Vikas......so do u think it's worth buying this 390 over the benelli TNT 300 ?? now being in 2k17 the 390 is the most advanced bike with alot of features.. on the other hand the benelli has got amazing sound ....please suggest...
Daniel Lobo every money you spent for duke 390 2017 is, what you get for your money.... it's a bang for buck product bro... there's no comparison between tnt 300 and 2017 duke 390 now😂😂and cheers 🍻
Anuj Agarwal thanks buddy I already booked the 390 2k17 the onli thing is I don't want to regret later ABT it .....it's my first bike n m just 18 ......
What 😱 just 18 and booked 390...bro must have taken 200, well I guess 390 is a too much.. Also now that you've already booked.. My advice do invest in a proper riding gears bro and I strongly recommend you you to maintain your speed bro, do not just for the fun with friends and whomsoever cross triple digits... And always ride safe and sane... Remember about your family while you ride
Bro I just bought a new Kawasaki Er 6n and can you suggest me a helmet for that bike which I can get in hyd my budget is around 12000₹,please reply fast as I want to buy it in Hyderabad before friday please do reply
Hey Bro ... I have booked it one week back and still waiting to get it delivered ...Want to ask you something?? So you have rode it for what? may be an hour...Did engine heat up? Curious to know this!!!!
So far, I felt that the engine heat was very well behaved compared to my model of the 390. I will anyhow do a side by side test soon and check bro.. Thanks for watching!
i am a speed lover. i ride a pulsar 200ns. I am lookng forwrd to buy this motrcycle. people say this bike has a lot of power. Will i be able to cntrl its power ??
hi, tfts visibility shd b tested whn Sun is on the Head (in betwn 11am to 1pm) as u said its sunny day bt d sun is on lesser angle, coz its problematic for old 390 to see odometer whn sun is on head.
10:15 That Brake test was a bit dangerous to both you and the pulsar rider you've passed considering he was distracted by his pillion and wasn't wearing a helmet, don't you think?
Yup breaking like that in traffic is always dangerous. If the riders behind were not paying enough attention definitely it would result in a collision .
Ujwal Thakur yeah. Brake test can be done on the service lane with no vehicles. Or maybe an empty parking lot. But certainly not on public roads with traffic that has poor braking.
Duke 390 bro! Go for it.. Although I love the engine of the Z250 but the Duke 390 has more power and more style and better availability of parts.. Thanks for watching!
Thnk u bro...i hav done ma booking nd its delivry s on aprl 1 ...but am from tamilnadu...recent 4 accidenta took place n duke 200 nd rc so evryone around me makes me to feel afraid ...i alrdy own an r15 v2.0 ...so nly i considered z250
How is the mileage bro Duke 390. The bike was my dream, i will definitely buy the bike... But, I have 2 problem's 1st one the mileage and the 2nd one is the maintenance cost of the bike... Help me bro how is the Mileage and i spend 2.5 lak in the bike it is worth or not.. Reply me soon waiting for your reply 😋
Hey buddy, i noticed u actually reply to the comments and u seem to be unbiased like most reviewers out there... Im a student and i travel an avg 30km a day... a lot more on weekends... Im a guy who usually not to aggressive but i love to open the throttle and let go once in a while... I have a few questions, Im currently trying to get myself a bike within 3L... And im really confused with the bikes that are currently in the market (RR310, RC390, Dominar 400 and of course Duke 390) The dominar seems to have low build quality and i dont really feel all that nice on the bike... The RR310 has everything i need except that sweet sweet torque the other three offer... The RC 390 is waaayyy too uncomfortable for my riding purpose (daily use) The Duke 390 has everything i need, its got the comfort the power the crazy features and looks like beast The two things holding me back is the issues i hear it faces, and of course the heating.... i dont mind a lil heat on my legs in traffic(like the dominar) but i heard it get really hot really fast.... And the issues like the ECU failure, the radiator fan, the headlights not turning off etc... Here are my questions, 1. Are all these issues resolved with the new batchs? What at the remaining issues? 2. When and how much exactly does the bike heat up and how bad is it? 3. Do u feel is smart for me to buy the duke for my requirements? If not what other bike would u suggest and why? 4. Could u rate the bikes i mentioned earlier from best to worst according to u?(ignoring the fact thats they're all of different segments all together) (I have this love for RR310, and the duke 390 kinda stuck between the two) I know i typed alot but i really need help to decide... Please help me and thank you so much for ur time if u made it this far... Seriously... Thank You!! Cheers!!
