          Pros & Cons

          • Pros
          • Cons

          • Yamaha R3

            • Design - looks like a proper Japanese sportsbike and will grab a lot of attention
            • Versatile engine - tractable enough for city rides and rev-happy enough to enjoy being ridden hard
            • Handling - changes direction with minimal efforts and inspires a lot of confidence when tipped into corners
            • Comfort - tall clip-ons and a relatively upright riding posture means it’s quite comfortable for a sportsbike

            KTM Duke 390

            • Sharp brakes
            • Incredibly exciting performance
            • Suspension feels comfortable even in stock setup
            • Low seat height makes it accessible to different riders
            • Feature-packed console
            • Great engine heat dissipation - riders won't feel much engine heat on their legs, even when the bike is not moving

          • Yamaha R3

            • Cramped lower body ergonomics - riders above 5’10 will find the lower body ergonomics quite tight
            • No features - quickshifter, traction control and every Bluetooth connectivity, the R3’s console misses out on a lot of things that other bikes in the segment offer as standard. All it gets is a digital console and ABS
            • A price tag of Rs 4,64,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) makes the R3 a very expensive bike
            • The R3 is expensive and not the best value for your money. That said, it’s still a very reliable, fri

            KTM Duke 390

            • Aggressive design might not appeal to everyone
            • Some panel gaps are not nice to look at
            • Metzeler tyres aren't very grippy when you ride aggressively
            • Engine still has some vibrations

            It is a monster compared to other vehicles in this segment powerful 390cc engine good for city rides and long rides but its still sometimes gets out of control because of over speeding.mileage was bit lower compared to other vehicles in this segment we can roughly get about 20-27.overall this was a beast

            Duke 390 is and always
            Duke 390 is and always be my one of my favourite all time. The speed and braking is just insane for beginners. If you want power, performance, and looks then you shouldn't think twice before purchasing. The Duke 390's engine has proven to be very reliable. Duke 390 is suitable for both spirited rides and daily commutes.
