I like the Yamaha MT-15 because it gives good mileage, and since it's good for long trips, it works well for me. It's my personal favorite bike. I push for high speed on this bike, but it's great for control. The brakes are fantastic, and it stops right away. I've traveled a lot on this bike, including to places like Kanyakumari, Bengaluru, Chennai, Ooty, and Kerala.

The look of bike is killer
The look of bike is nice milage is also a very nice but the size of seating is not comfortable and is to short for the person seating behind the bike rider ........ If the problem of seating is solve the the Mt 15 will the bike bike af all time ... No one can beat the MT 15 for its look milage and performance .. And also the pricing is also the bit high I think t should be between 1.5L - 1.7 L

Excellent bike
The KTM RC 390 is a standout in the entry-level sportbike segment, offering a perfect blend of performance, style, and technology. Powered by a 373cc single-cylinder engine, it delivers an exhilarating 43.5 horsepower, making it ideal for both city rides and spirited highway runs. The bike’s lightweight trellis frame ensures sharp handling, while its WP Apex suspension and dual-channel ABS provide confidence-inspiring stability and braking. The aggressive design, complemented by full-LED lighting and a TFT display, enhances its appeal. Though the firm seat may feel uncomfortable for long rides, the RC 390 remains a top choice for thrill-seekers and enthusiasts.
