It is a complete review. Provide lot of insights about the bike.
On-board mileage is just 14 KM/L. Is this a flaw ? or Is it the result of pure revving ?
What’s the average Fuel Consumption(km/liter) You got with test bike?
i Booked it and the guy from the showroom told me that it will be around 30-35, can we really expect this fuel economy from this bike?
Well this can’t be a deal breaker though Chinmaya… Adding another 60,000Rs on a Duke 200 you get a Metzelers, ABS and taller 6th gear enabling touring.
I guess keeping the low end torque might have been intentional by KTM because they had intended to make Duke 390 a commuter-cum-touring-cum-hooligan bike… To have some calmer city rides which are mainly on lower RPMs might have pushed back KTM to have a cum(Hindi) low end torque 😛
I too took a test ride on D390. However being an owner and a fan of how aagressive and maniac D200 is, I and a couple of other D200 owners were not that impressed by the ride. Agreed, D390 comes to life post 6000 rpm, and anything below that it sputters. When we take a test ride, we also consider those things apart from opening the throttle wide open. For example, I also commute on my D200 to work, and i find it is the best tool amongst bikes to cut the traffic. Sadly, with D390 I felt it will frustrate you a bit in bumper to bumper traffic.
The “Do Not Open” cap is the radiator vented cap. The coolant cap pours into a plastic reservoir and is totally separate from the radiator.
