    Just because the Chinese manufacture a bike, please don't look down at the product. This is at best discrimination.

      We are not looking down at the product I am sure. Its just that its quality will be inferior when compared to a Japanese bike.

        All of the above?

        Did you not evaluate the pillion seat before purchasing the bike?
        It is hard n too small and not very suitable or comfortable for a lady pillion.
        Was a bachelor when I bought and was staying away from home, now that am in Bangalore and may soon get hitched parent's are pestering me to get a bike which is comfy for even pillion or to use the car, am not a car guy. Can't use D390 with pillion even for short rides like pick up n drop, especially when the pillion is wearing a saree.

          Did you try to install a large size gel seat? You can find that as a KTM powerpart or get a custom made from a local shop.

          Or, are you, at this point set on just selling off the bike? If so, what bike are you planning to get? TNT250 is launching on 18th of this month. Rumors are Pulsar NS200 Fuel injected version is bound to come out in January. ( I am talking about Nakeds assuming you bought the D390 because you love nakeds) I am mentioning only Single cylinder bikes assuming once again that you wont be opting for a Twin cylinder.

            Gel seat only gives more cushion, it is the space that is much needed. I may go back to some normal bikes like hornet or an apache, something which is suitable for bangalore. Or may be even a pulsar 200ns.

              I never said anything about the build quality! I only said it was chinese. You associated bad quality with chinese

                  Nevermind, dont know why I said that. But whatever the case, thats a fact which is hilariously ridiculous

                  Why does a lower capacity bike have USD forks but a higher capacity one does not? If MT15 also launches here alongside the MT03, the non-USD forks on the MT03 could be a deal breaker. That actually leads me to believe that the MT15 might not come here in which case I might have to settle with TNT250 or 200NS FI

                    Well MT15 which you are seeing is not been declared for the Indian market, so lets wait for that. Also this thread is for MT-03 so lets keep it that way. Thanks

                      Well yes, we will get to know about that in the Expo. Discussing a little about MT15 in this thread isnt a big problem. On the contrary it gets me a little more excited. So lets not put a stop to that. Thanks

                        I am no one to put a stop to it. thats upto mods, I was talking about the basic protocol of the Thread. There are many aspect of MT03 still unknown lets discuss that.

                        Mechanics from selected Yamaha showroom have started getting the training for the same.

                            Hi Royal

                            It is not whether you get excited or not. It is general forum rules to stay on topic. Of course, every now and then something for comparison does up crop up, which is fine. But continued focus on something else derails the thread. And we want to avoid that.

                            Thanks

                                The stats looks sweet, thanks Royal for sending this. It would be a nice bike. Now let us wait and see what it is priced for. I like the look
