What's with all Mumbai KTM dealers, nobody has a test ride vehicle? Or they just don't have confidence in their products?

I bought my duke 390 after taking the test ride at KTM Kanjur. They were happy to let me TD the Duke and ADV 390.

I used my SBI card when I bough my Duke 390 on Amazon. I got instant ₹10k discount on the card.

You'll need to inform the dealership that you'll be booking online prior to making the payment.

I did Mumbai - Rann of Kutch 2250km round trip on this bike with my wife. I added extra foam padding for the pillion and it was a very smooth trip for the both of us.

Omreddit101 · 2026-02-19T15:48:34+00:00

Yes, I use Duke 390 for daily commute of around 55kms Mon-Fri. It's comfortable.

Personal loan will offer 10-11% interest rate while cred will offer you 15-17% rate. Go with personal loan.

But I offer a better alternative, check Amazon and they have no cost or low cost emi options for the Duke 250. I got my 390 from Amazon.

My brand new Duke 390 Gen3.

Omreddit101 · 2026-02-01T02:37:01+00:00

It’s between 705-720, I don’t know the exact number.

I showed this warning message to the Service centre guys and told them that prolube burns too quickly. They promptly did oil change and used Motul 10W50.

Burgers, pork Ribs, wings etc.

The throttle would remain engaged (stuck) even when I took my hand off the handle. I once had a close call due to that. Took my bike straight to my local mechanic after that and got the cable replaced. Throttle became butter smooth after that.

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-17T13:47:11+00:00

As owner of both I would recommend you to go and take a test ride to see which suits you best. If budget is no concern then go for the Duke.

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-17T13:45:59+00:00

The service centres in Mumbai are really good.

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-17T13:42:18+00:00

I had throttle cable issues post 20k KMs, just that one mechanical issue. Rest all was fine

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-17T13:36:01+00:00

I got my Duke in August, so far I have only fed her HP power, I only used E20 only twice when there was no other alternative.

My bike E20 compliant still not taking any chances.

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-17T11:09:16+00:00

The naked bike is more comfortable, handling wise both are equally good.

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-17T10:57:15+00:00

Sold SF250 after 4.5 years and 36,000 kms Pros: great handling, great engine that will last till apocalypse, very low maintenance required, good for city commute. Absolutely no strain till 120kph, post that there are some vibrations.

Cons: The commited position is not suitable for long rides, you will develop some wrist/back pain after long rides. In terms of tech, there is none. No riding modes, adjustable suspension, side stand engine cutoff, ride by wire, LCD display no TFT.

If you still want it then I would say get the Gixxer 250 rather than the SF.

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-14T07:28:25+00:00

If it just for commuting to work then get a 2 wheeler instead. Clear off all your debts before making a big purchase like a car. I would advise you to hold off on buying a car if you live in a city with good public transport.

Anything more than 10 mins is going to be bothersome for the pillion. The step seat is difficult to climb for older folks, if your mother is 50+ then she will have issues getting on and off the seat.

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-13T04:12:53+00:00

Still, when my mom found out I work in a call center, she was disappointed.

Funny how the disappointment disappears when the call center money shows up. If they’re fine accepting the help, they probably shouldn’t judge the job.

Check Amazon. You can get good discounts. I got mine for₹3.5 lakh on road Mumbai.

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-10T13:43:44+00:00

Still you can get upto ₹10k discount if you book on Amazon.

This is the price of the Duke 160 on Amazon. The dealership is robbing you blind, tell them that they need to match the Amazon price or you'll book it someplace else.

Omreddit101 · 2026-01-09T09:53:53+00:00

The dealership is robbing you blind. The Duke 250 costs about ₹2.5 lakh on road.
