Hello guys,

I am Senthilkumar, from Chennai . recently bought used Duke 390 Model 2017 just 4500Kms ridden only, for a good deal, had covered approx 1500kms from then. Previously i had Duke 200,bought on first lot 2012 when it got introduced, rode 28000 Kms, Finally i was forced to sell it , due to family pressure, that i was riding fast and they thought it is not appropriate for my age (I'm 47 ) does age really matter?.
I really loved the pocket rocket and enjoyed to the fullest,drove to its maximum limit, no accidents and bike was in absolute condition when i sold it.
so no Bike for 3 years , had to use my Sx4 to commute to office (SAD) , then when i saw the new Duke 390 2017 model on streets zooming past, i felt the desire and urge to have it once again.
infact i wanted to buy the 390 when it got introduced. but strictly got a stern NO from my family.

i used to check OLX for used ones regularly , even though i know, i cannot buy. one such deal was very impressive and decided to visit the seller,
without informing my family, visited and decided on that spot, paid and rode back straight to Service centre in chennai. fearing the repercussions i will have back at home.
vehicle was under warranty and not even 1 year completed , so gave it 3rd service, told them i will take it after 2 days.

this time i was very determined to have the dream bike i wanted to, finally took it home, after big fight and scolding with all the family members, now im happy owner of Duke 390 .

Thats how i ended up in love with the Duke again.

Coming to my Bike.

Bike Firmware updated to V42 and no complaints so far, twice went for long drive , touched 160, 3 to 4 times to make sure it is in perfect condition
Only complaint is the Coolant level decreases so quickly ( was told by service engineers that this is normal for new duke 390's), and not happy with the DOHC cam noise. really missing the original rotary exhaust beat.
