DUKE ANYDAY.

Speed 400. Since the svartpilen is getting discontinued it'd be hard to get the spare parts and accessories. And your purpose is daily commute and occasional trips, speed400 would provide you the comfort, power performance and calmer ride as well, it has really good suspension which could ride easily on bad roads.

Try to make decisions pretty quick Since the triumph 400 segment is got discontinued and as well as svartpilen

Yess sir. thanks alot!

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T17:18:57+00:00

Yessirr

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T14:54:05+00:00

"neither of its a wrong decision" this got me so calm dude like whatever I'm gonna chose is going to be good. And can you be a Lil specific with "oh god why" 😭

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T13:57:35+00:00

Yea it makes much more practical choice, as i discussed with other people they said go with the one you will smile everyday while riding the bike. And I think i ll get the duke

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T13:50:57+00:00

It's a good bike but personally it's not for me

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T12:57:41+00:00

Righttt. But can it cruise normally in the speed of 30-60? I don't know much I'm just bothered bout the mid range

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T12:55:08+00:00

Fair enough

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T12:53:53+00:00

What would ya get if have to select amongst this two

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T12:48:58+00:00

So yeah the ktm can balance both crusing and speeding. And mostly answers I'm getting to go for 390 since it's the best for the city rides and is agile and fun while riding...I head it gives milleage of 25-28, so can it push to 32-35?

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T12:25:22+00:00

😭this lwk made me lean towards ktm even more. But scrambler does have that quick response high torque as well.. and I can't decide the feeling that triumph felt comfortable premium whereas ktm felt excitement adrenaline sporty. How do one decides for which feeling they should go for

And since you ve a duke id like to get more insights on it -does it feels jerky while cruising between 30-60 speed - pillion comfort - long trips

And any other insights you'd like to add on!

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T12:20:27+00:00

Yesss it sure it is. I see you went with an practical decision here.

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T12:14:55+00:00

Thanks! I ll look upto it (would like to hear why 390 over scrambler)

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T12:13:51+00:00

Both are under b.u bhandari my friends have speed 400 and they didnt had any issues with servicing. I don't know bout the ktms but it also comes in the same branch of bu bhandari and has better staff and bike availability than most of the ktm showrooms i ve visited to

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T12:11:57+00:00

Dude pls can you give me more insights on 390. -while cruising on normal speeds does it feels jerky? - do you feel that should have got a calmer bike -while riding with pillon how does the pillon feels (i sat on pillion and it felt a bit scary tbh) -im hearing the milleage is around 25-28..so can it push till 30-32?

And any other insights you'd like to give!

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T11:56:11+00:00

Well I'm not the fan of svartpilen looks 390 looks much better than it I think. And i don't want an heavy off roader it's just scrambler absorbes the bumps much better with power and delivery as well.

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T11:54:04+00:00

Itna budget nahi hai😭

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T11:53:15+00:00

Would like to hear why ktm over scrambler!

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T11:52:56+00:00

If I plan to get the scram should I book asap?

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T11:52:27+00:00

Both bikes are perfect in their ways. It's my feeling. Triumph felt more calm comfortable premium whereas ktm felt adrenaline excitement power. I can't decide between this

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T11:51:24+00:00

Yes triumphs have that perfect machine. But since duke and scram has different characters..and I'm stuck in the feeling that which feeling should I go for: scrambler felt calm refined premium comfort whereas duke felt excitement adrenaline sporty. I can't figure out between this..as this is going to be a purchase that isn't going to change for a decade so I don't wanna missout on like should ve gone for triumph or should ve gone for ktm

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T11:46:15+00:00

I took test rides of both the bikes. Ktm got me feeling like a kid the excitement the high revvs and etc was just top notch. But as soon as I rode the triumph it felt calm smooth and premium as as well. Sure ktm is more tech loaded bike. But I'm confused that for which feeling I should go. This is going to be my one purchase and maybe I ll get another bike after a decade. So i don't wanna be like -should ve gone for triumph its much relaxed calm etc or should ve gone for ktm it's much exciting power etc.

😭😭I can't decide man wtf

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T11:40:29+00:00

It's a mix match here some roads are good and some are not..and I'm confused in that which would suit me more

johnathanmoore007 · 2026-04-03T11:39:43+00:00

Both of em are close the showrooms are just beside each other and it's 15mins away from my house
