Recently Asked User Questions

Q. I own a 2014 KTM duke 390, and I really like it, but now I am looking to buy an entry level premium adventure motorcycle. I’ve shortlisted the BMW G310 gs and the KTM Adv 390 while keeping the BS6 RE Himalayan on the back of my mind. Which one do you think, would be a better addition to my garage? (I won't be selling my OG 390).
  • As per your requirements, we would suggest you go with the Royal Enfield Himalayan. The 2021 Himalayan still features the same BS6-compliant 411cc single-cylinder engine which produces 24.31PS and 32Nm. Dual-channel ABS comes as standard which is switchable for more fun. The bike offers rather comfortable ergonomics and brilliant credentials for touring and off-roading this adds to the Himalayan’s comfort and confidence to venture into the unknown. Moreover, Royal Enfield has introduced 2021 Himalayan with more features and more comfort. For a better understanding of compatibility and riding comfort, we would suggest you take a test ride. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -BMW G 310 GS vs KTM 390 Adventure vs Royal Enfield Himalayan.
Q. Which bike is better, G 310 GS, Dominar 400, RC 390 or Himalayan?
  • All four bikes are good in their forte. BMW G 310 GS looks just like larger GS cousins, Comfortable upright ergos for touring, Is the lightest ADV in its class. Good looks, healthy performance, competent underpinnings, and a host of features. All for just Rs 1.92 lakh. If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, nothing eclipses the Dominar 400 in the sub-2 lakh rupee price bracket. Whereas, if you're looking for a light, powerful, sharp-handling sportbike that'll help you hone your skills, the KTM RC 390 makes perfect sense. However, the bike's committed riding posture means it's more suited for track than a road. And in that case, you could consider the TVS Apache RR 310 which has been significantly improved post its BS6 update. The Royal Enfield Himalayan was the motorcycle that kick-started the affordable adventure touring genre in India in 2016. Despite the arrival of new rivals, it continues to outshine them as an all-rounder. RE has ironed out the majority of the issues that plagued the first-gen motorcycle, but brakes still remain an Achilles heel. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -Long Term Review: Introducing TVS Eurogrip ProTorq Extreme Tyres For KTM 390 Duke..-2021 Royal Enfield Himalayan: Has RE Perfected The Formula?.
Q. Which bike I should buy, KTM Duke 390 or Adventure 390?
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. If everyday performance is your top priority, nothing offers the same sort of explosive acceleration and razor-sharp handling as the 390 Duke -- in this price range or in a segment above. Now more mature and refined in its latest form, the 2020 KTM 390 Duke still remains a well-rounded package tailor-made for thrill-seekers. Whereas, KTM 390 Adventure features excellent ergos for touring, Retains on-road performance of 390 Duke, Packed with electronic goodies. For a better understanding of compatibility and driving comfort, we would suggest you to take a test drive.
