    I barely manage to get about 140kms here in Bangalore Traffic.
    I took mine in bangalore traffic too today, showed average of around 22, while I know thats not too accurate, you're getting around 14 kmpl, isn't that way too less? My friend's duke 390 too manages 20 kmpl.

      Got G in the 8th digit and F in the 10th. So its Oct 2015 model. Considering its WB where the taxes are pretty high,Final price was 2.46 + free helmet. Getting delivery tomorrow.
      How much was urs? Got delivery? Mind sharing some pics?

      Now where can I find the cheapest price for a paddock stand? Need something for chain cleaning and other maintenance stuff.

                I'm fine.
                The bike took a bit of damage.
                I was going through a bend, the entry was fine after which i felt the front tyre losing traction and then low side crash.
                There was a fine layer of sand which i didn't knew otherwise i wouldn't have leaned into that bend.

                  guys how do you keep the helmets? its annoying to keep the helmet always in hand.

                  is there a way to lock the helmet to the bike?

                    Rc 390 would be getting electronic throttle control(price may increase) by Feb 2016. And no slipper clutch for the rc.
                    Take this with a pinch of salt though..

                      A guy on ebay selling this monoshock cover made of rexin material.
                      I bought it for 400 rs.
                      It looks cool.
                      BUT DON'T BUY.
                      ITS NEARBY SILENCER AND GETTING TOO MUCH HOT IN 20 minutes ride.
                      Its increasing risks of FIRE.

                      I just removed it.

                        I always carry the helmet with me as other people might mess around if it is locked on the bike and i dont want scratches or any damage to my helmet. Also i checked most places and there are no hooks provided for helmet lock the best you could do is attach a helmet lock somewhere and hang the helmet there.

                              Buddy why you keep helmet in your hand instead wearing it. It is for our own safety Always wear helmet even for short distance .

                                You misunderstood me lol. I carry it in my hand after i park the bike eg in college or at a mall etc when im not riding. I ALWAYS wear a helmet when i am riding.
