Intro;
Currently owns a CBR250R that has done 1,45,000kms on the odo. Looking for a naked bike, had enough of faired vehicles. He is very technically sound and can literally rip apart the bike and put it together in two days.
Requirements;
Bikes considered:
Constraints:
Budget. Can stretch upto 6 L.
He understands the considerable power difference between the aforementioned vehicles, but rather viewing it from an Indian's POV, he also knows that one cannot exploit the 44 horses of the Duke on our highways, let alone the 70+ horses on the Kawa. (I've also asked him to check the Dominar 400, but the power to weight ratio is somewhat putting off)
TIA

Currently owns a CBR250R that has done 1,45,000kms on the odo. Looking for a naked bike, had enough of faired vehicles. He is very technically sound and can literally rip apart the bike and put it together in two days.
Requirements;
- Touring
- Low maintenance
- Good network for spares
- Suspension - Prefers a soft setup similar to the CBR250R
- Dimensions - He's 6'2 and 100+ Kilos, needs ample space (requires Duke 390 users inputs here, and is the RC more spacious in comparison?)
Bikes considered:
- KTM Duke 390 (Probably the 2017 version)
- Kawasaki Z650
Constraints:
Budget. Can stretch upto 6 L.
