The KTM RC390 is the company’s flagship sports bike, and it is a rather well-equipped motorcycle. The new one is lighter, easier to ride and now, comfortable enough to be ridden on a daily basis. The design, in typical KTM fashion, isn’t for everyone. It has a lot of electronics that are part of why the price is so high. Its closest competitors in India are the TVS/BMW 310s. Globally, they are the Yamaha YZF-R3 or the Kawasaki Ninja 400. In this FAQ, we'll look closely at the KTM RC390.

390 Duke
The KTM 390 Adventure is officially a tour-enduro—a travel motorcycle with some off-road skills. But it isn’t an off-roader that tours. Its 373cc engine, from the previous generation Duke, means that the low-end torque isn't its strength. The frame is shared, too, resulting in an unusually high seat, low ground clearance, and a stiff suspension setup. But its size makes it excellent for two-up touring with luggage. It has three variants, plus a low-seat version. Let's take a closer look.

RS 457
The RS 457 is Aprilia's first made in India motorcycle with a strong twin cylinder engine, a beautiful chassis wrapped up in wonderful styling. Excellent tyres and a comprehensive electronics package... Sounds insane? It is. This is a serious sports bike – not for everyone. Aprilia also has a poor service reputation.
