  • URGENT : Seriously Confused between Mahindra Mojo & KTM RC 390!

    Seriously Confused between Mahindra Mojo & KTM RC 390!!

    KTM RC 390 is my love. For her I waited for a good long time. When I was about to buy it was in news that Slipper Clutch are being introduced. I thought of waiting little more but soon Mahindra Mojo was announced. I wasn't much into Mojo because of its look. I seriously hate the look of the bike & still I do. But a biker passion pulled me towards her & like a typical biker I read her reviews. Its reviews made me fall in love with bike.
    Since it was a great Tourer, I was attracted.

    Due to my job profile I have to be in different places of Himachal in a month. Like 10 days in Manali, next 10 in Shimla & rest in Dharamsala/Mcleodganj & yes once a month I have to visit Delhi also. So I was attracted to its comfort.

    HDFC is delaying my loan from last 8 days, due no damn reason. Unfortunately there is no other bank who can sanction loan above 1 lakh for two wheeler.

    Today again I visited KTM showroom & saw her & felt her....
    Damn she is hot & sexy.

    I don't know whether I should compromise my comfort & go for RC 390. Or Should I go for Mojo who hs got comfort, good mileage & less vibrations & hopefully less niggles.

    I have applied for Loan in HDFC for Mahindra Mojo.

    PS: I know one is faired & other is naked. One is sporty & other is Tourer and all that facts....

    Help me decide...

    Query Approved

    How about the Duke 390 instead. The Mojo won't be available in your hometown i presume, and maintenance may not be as easy as a KTM. Find out what suits your area of stay better!

      I would to add more to your confusion . Actually we all do for the fact

      Do you like to tour much or just drive around. If you are an avid tourer, go for the Mojo. With such a large fuel tank and with a tank range expected anywhere between 500-550 kms. Its really good. Where as on the RC, it fails on the tank range where you need to be on constant look-out for petrol pumps anywhere after 200kms.

      If city riding is your style, go for RC. If you like to travel more alone, go for RC. I dont know how is the pillion comfort of Mojo, But you can assume RC has no pillion comfort. Atleast I felt when i traveled on D390. I am assuming RC will be a little more worse than that.

        Dude you want both. The tourer and the track tool. First figure out what you need. Only you can answer that.

          If you can stretch your budget, check out the Benelli TNT 300 as well. It's pillion comfort falls somewhere between a CBR250 and an FZ. All the best!

            Its surprising you are confused between a Sport and a Tourer. Theres no possible answer to that question alone.

            You need to decide what you need the bike for. Mojo will be a great buy, go for it, you wont be disappointed. I am biased against RC 390 although I love the Duke. RC imo is a very inconvenient bike though it has a good appeal and is VFM. If given the option I would choose the D390 over the RC390 anytime, all the time

                    this is so confusing. blondes or brunettes? how could you have someone else decide for you?

                    the only reason i would recommend the KTM RC 390 is because i don't like the Mojo.

                    and... i'm very confused over why in the world would you want a RC 390 with a slipper clutch when you're going to be in places like Manali and Shimla.

                      Ktm Rc is good. u can use CEAT TYRES. For your campliants. RC It's sporty good bhp, torque and price. Best in all. Ktm RC is suitable for all either you are a Tourer or city rides. Go with ktm RC . (b)

                            I think you know logically you need the mojo or duke. But you are in love with the rc. Get the RC. F@#k logic.
                            Regardless, Life shall go on.

                              If you will be riding in all the locations you mentioned, I would strongly advice against KTM RC390. Honda CBR250 is a much better alternative then even though you haven't mentioned it (You said you do not like Mojo's looks else Mojo would have been my recommendation). Between Mojo and RC390, I would recommend a Mojo for the ease of riding in that terrain.

                              Are you associated with FIAT by any chance? I am confusing you with someone I have talked to once I guess.
