            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.

            Amazing bike in the segment
            Best in the single cylinder segment. But quickshifter not working properly sometimes.lots of features in this bike. Excellent breaking power. Good handling and riding comfort. And perfect bike for long rides. And also they have lots of safety features like traction control , switchable abs , perfect entry level bikes for upgrading to superbikes category.

            Rc 390 experience
            I own a 390 last year.it is single cylinder king of that segment, milege is low only because it is race bike and its power is unbelievable, when I throttle the sudden pickup is giving a smile on our face. Tottaly 390 is worth bike and but I liked the model of bs3 rc,bs6 is completely changed but they more features in speedometer.its helps more.
