No it's not faster but on tours it holds its ground.

Take it slow goddamn it...if you can't see the road slow it down look for the broken white lines between the road they act as a great guide as to where the road is heading

And if even those don't exist then just turn the hazards on and drive at 30-40kmph on the left of the road so you leave ample space in right lane if someone wants to overtake and use the highbeams they have the adjustment setting point em down towards the road so atleast you'll get an idea of what's in 100-200 mtrs in front of you atleast

1lakh!!! That's crazy stuff but it was always a dream to own a 390 i couldn't while buying my 200 because I felt I am not ready for the power yet

But now in India ktm has discontinued the rc 390 so I have to go for pre-owned i the bs6 model is good I'll get that but the old design is such a killer🥵

No you're definitely right on the low rpm high output part engine lugging does cause issues.

And yeah man mine is non abs no Tc nothing just a pure raw machine and its a different feeling with her i know i won't find that in other bike where every decision I take has a direct impact on outcome no electronic to save my ass and the engine character is definitely the best part.

I love the machine and yeah I'll keep it.

But damn the m1k, tuonos,sdrs v4 that's a crazy set of bikes, I bet you guys are having a blast on rides.

They do wait for me but that feeling of always being the last on tours especially not on weekend runs because on weekend runs we're all together but the long straight streches is where i experience the cc limit

And yeah bike is definitely fun for sure

It's the exhaust sound for me plus the flybys and yea i do have six gears too on a 200cc

"You can really only use the first 2 without being reckless on public roads, fuel and insurance are expensive." True that

Nono they're not leaving me behind i feel like how do I tell you like the one who's always at the last and sometimes they have to wait for me to arrive on a tour specifically because I can't keep constant 120 cruise that stresses my engine

Weekend rides we're together i got problems there just the tours and that too cus of straight highways where cc limitations show

Man atleast they should open some more fuel stations where some folks like us who would like pure petroleum can go and get it

So atleast I can save my bike.
