  • Choosing a Daily Bike

    Hello Guys,
    I'll give you a short summary, I own KTM RC390 2015 model and done 42,000 kms on it also i own Royal Enfield Classic 350 2018 model done 7000 kms but I don't use it more often.
    So now I am planning to replace RC390 with some other bike which will give me more fun and will be a refresh for me. My daily commute is around 40-48 km roughly.
    Also I have quiet small budget of 3.5 lakhs. So need your advice for choosing the correct one for my daily runs. My preferences are Fun to ride, good amount of power, reliability and a bit sporty side. I have seen some bikes like Ninja 300, Duke 390, Interceptor 650 and Yamaha R3, I dont find R3 and Duke more interesting though also folks from KTM told me that there's a new RC390 on the way to launch this year. I'm just getting confused day by day, hope you guys can help me out.

        It's definitely hard to get any more fun when you've already had a Duke 390.

        Test drive the Ninja 300 and RE 650 and Dominar 400 on the same day, R3 may have an road cost above 3.5 lakh. CB300 is also a wonderful bike but you have much more spending power so you can buy something better.

        Happy riding.

            Post owning a RC390, R3 and N300 wont give you more thrills. You would get lesser vibes as they are parallel twins.
            The next step up would be a 600cc+ bike. If you are open to used bikes, you can check out Ninja 650 as that bike would have what it takes to make you happy over a RC390.
