          They're found in adjustable clutch & brake levers. To adjust the reach of your fingers.

                  But going through the photos hx seems to be a practical bike. And mileage Iam sure it will have the best in class because of EBR...known for racing with mileage

                    Yup but RC390 on other hand is all that many of us have dreamt of, amazing chassis, potent motor which is capable of speeds which majority of us have grown-up dreaming of touching combined in that sexy package[emoji8] .

                      Yes. It is going to be two different league bikes. So no competition I guess. Each will have their own fan club
                      It's the matter of instinct to decide onto which we should spend the money going to be even tough with pulsar launches....

                        mate exactly where is EBR known for racing at all, let alone racing with mileage ? :P not to forget there's no such thing as "Racing with mileage" :P

                        EBR is not known for anything yet (not even in its home country USA) as far as performance and racing etc are concerned, hell the EBR sportbike is known to have many issues and a serious lack of competitive performance...the only thing EBR is known (and appreciated) for so far is erik buell's motivation to continue his project (of making competitive supposedly almost race-prepped litre-class sportbike that privateer teams can afford) even after harley-davidson dumped them.

                          Comparing two products isnt a bad thing, but compare in class.where does hero's 250 stand in front of 390cc ktm?
                          And guys mileage? To be frank all people are getting is 25 max side 30 on the duke.so dont even think mileage when thinking rc

                            Iam not starting any brand war here, but 1190RX is much much better in mileage than Ducati and rsv4, though it has similar power. Anyhow that's why I feel hx will be a economical bike too...hero also said that.will have to wait for the launch and review .

                              Cant comment on performance unless you have tried it. EBR produces 2 good bikes.. one of them cost a bomb and thats why their sales are poor.

                              Regarding the issues with the EBR sportsbike. Can you pls get me the source to this claim?? AFAIK. They have a good bike. Not to forget.. V Twin engine producing so much of power. Also the EBR 1190RX was recently launched making it cheaper by almost 30,000 USD compared to the 1190RS.. the EBR though not as smooth as the Ducati Panigale.. it is just as good.. except the features offered with Panigale is better in the overall package..
