I am confused between Duke 390 and Interceptor 650, which one should I go for?

Question

Nadeem · Accepted Answer

Main thing to consider is why are you buying a bike ? If you are planning for long rides and few track's you can go for duke 39O . It's a bit harsh on city riding but when ever you tap gear up it's a whole new level of fun . If you are person you wants a strong mid range power in long rides you can go for RE.incptr . If you are buying mainly for city commute then go for RE. Duke si a monster city bumber to bumper traffic naah it's bit hard for it . For 390 you have to unleash it on highways ;-)

Gaurav · Answer

Depends on your requirements. The Interceptor is a nice cruiser with plenty of power to play with. It's also extremely refined which is unlike any other RE. Although, I'd suggest you get the optional accessory seat installed which has better cushioning. Go for the Duke if you love getting your knee down. It's razor sharp handling and power from the motor will keep you on your toes, always.

Duke has all compact package with Quick shifter in BS6 and powered vehicle but this both r so crazy if you need to upgrade to high CC you can go to Interceptor 650 and even I want to this both has good capacity of touring vehicle. But my suggestion is if you r a beginner like after 200cc you go for 390 as well you can go a 650 but I suggest you Duke 390 is best...

Uppiliappan · Answer

RE 650 will munch miles because its weight advantage. It will withstand strong winds in highways & while overtaking. No power drop even after few hours of riding powerful engine. Braking & Suspension is not good compared with Duke 390. So my suggestion is RE 650 followed by Duke 390.

Rohan · Answer

Depend upon riding style if you like aggressive power and punch and electronics and all then go for 390 and if you looking for torque and smooth power band then go for 650 the main benefit. here is 650s parallel twin engine less vibration and smooth power good for long rides

Harish · Answer

Ktm 390 and 650 interceptor both are best Ktm is one of the popular bike brand in abroad 390 gives sporty look and more power but 650 interceptor gives cafe racer look and its engine is more refined than 390 duke and ktm 390 has heating issues 650 interceptor not specified but have aggressive price tags and if you are ktm fan you can go for it otherwise if you need more refinement then you can go for interceptor 650

Nishanth · Answer

Your question depends on your style of riding. The Duke is a veritable street bike that will keep you entertained if you are a spirited rider. The Interceptor, on the other hand, is a very sedate yet lively motorcycle. Although, not as entertaining in the city as the KTM, it is more dependable on the highways.So again, like I said, it completely depends o what kind of riding style you are looking for.

Both the bikes are of different class. Duke is around 60 kg lighter than interceptor 650. Fuel economy is definitely different as the power output in 650 is more. Performance is almost same. Plus there are some minor issues with 650 which you won't find in Duke.
