I’m planning to get myself this bike and been watching reviews on youtube. I could say this is best review of rc390 yet from India, hats off 🙌🏼
Great job Rahul .

Very informative
thanxxx rahul da i think i am madly waiting fr this review ...and telling u fr last 3 videos
This guy recovered from 50-50 like to dislike ratio to 1000-50. I'm seeing him from being a noob on TH-cam to doing something good.
maybe there are more noobs now!
Hi Rahul! Feels awesome to hear your detailed thoughts about the RC. Such intricate details like comparing the Throttle by Wire, Throttle angle (45 vs 60) , riding position, etc were brilliant and very subtle. This makes you my one of my top go-to motorcycle journos out there! With your level of expertise and skill, I would certainly love to see you in Overdrive, TopGear, NDTV Car n Bike and what not! Cheers! :)
Very Nice review !! Looking forward to the 2017 Duke 390 review from you

my rc 390 ktm main high coolant temperature,and low full level show kar raha hai and bike start bhi nhi ho raha to problem solving bro plz help me
bro I have heard that the performance had decreased ?? what about that
Rahul Nice review very much detailed.And you have ridden the 10r and other superbikes.how is the damping felt on the 2017 rc 390 comparing with litre bikes.also the new duke coming with split function forks and better shocks.Some reviews say its better in corners.waiting for your 17' duke 390 review to confirm that.
Are you talking about suspension damping or the steering?
suspension.
nice presentation
plz try to make a review for duke 390 too
Of course, I will make it. Let the motorcycle arrive in my city!
Rahul.... Which dslr mic do you use for vlogging??? Details please and links for getting one
My Vlogging camera mic: amzn.to/2lT8f4W
Links to everything I use is in the video description, along with things that I recommend.
Which bike is very enjoyable to ride duke 390 or RC 390......!???
is this new paint work prone to damage's
sir wt mileage cn we expect frm rc390 in both highway and in city
finally got my 2017 RC 390 2 days back.. I'm in love with it already.. I rode both the new and old version back to back.. and I noticed one more difference.. the handle bars are wider than the previous version.. they feel more comfortable and also I fealt that handling was better with wider handlebars.. Bro, you talked about the newer version being more comfortable guessing that KTM has played around with the suspension or something.. maybe the wider handlebars were the main reason behind it 😃☺
+Abhishek Dhiman it could be, it felt more comfortable and I have later confirmed that they have tweaked the suspension. But wider handlebars is something very very new. Have you measured it. If not do measure and let me know.
There's a way to turn on both the lights simultaneously. I got this information from KTM showroom in Silchar. As the 2017 RC 390 has DRLs so it lacks the light switch. Well, you can install one if you feel like. It is possible to turn on both the lights at the same time but only on High-Beam or Upper. Unfortunately, you can't turn both of them on on Low-Beam.
loved this video bro.. can u review top speed test of it ?
After running in period.
Hey Rahul, the display bike which i saw had either one of the projector on for high and low beam turning on at a time, hope both of them turn on for high beam?
+pav_s2003 pavan no they don't and I have mentioned it in both of my videos of the RC390 2017.
Sorry I saw it later... believe the headlamp issue can be sorted after market.. I am considering Duke 390. Have u reviewed that buddy
hey rahul, bhalo laglo review ta, city te rc 390 2017 kerom mileage debe? bangalore er moto city te. It gets quite crowded here at times
+Saptarshi Majumder 22 kmpl
how much mileage does this bike gives.... on highway and city
Please do road review on rc200 🙏
I am 5'9 i am really confused bwn rc200 or 390.. I considsr rc200 looks over 390.. Tbh please tell me which one wud u prefer..
Is it good for long rides??
well thanks by the way....that RC looks too gorgeous absolutely loved it... wish I could see that beauty in LAVASA like u did for KTM RC VS PULSAR RS
Ya, those days were crazy... I miss it.
woooowww the lumix!!!
Thank u so much for this video. It has answered all my questions, now I can go ahead and block it 😊
Ha ha! Great!
Hi rahul.....can you please tell whether windblast is so much of an issue on duke that i shd get rc 390 instead....
I usually ride on highways at 120+ speeds...
Just adding a windshield to duke offers better highway wind protection than a stock RC.
Great!
+Tecky World thanks
No one explains it like you do rahul full detailed review i love it..Ami kolkata theke one bad thing about our road is that the cycle and rickshaw wala has no road sense at all 😀😀 loved your review bro
+Shivam Ravi Srivastava I got hit by an Auto last month, just my riding gear saves me, otherwise it was gonna be deadly
Omg ya the auto guys they think themselves hero 😂😂 ride safe bro ☺☺
I guess the raditor fan sounds lourder is beacuse in the model the fairings have been cut a little from the old model its 2cm wider
does they give immobilizer with this bike
Can the brakes and ride by wire throttle from 2017 RC 390 be retrofitted into 2016 RC 390?
+Rahul Vasisht brakes yes, ride by wire, no.
niice comprehensive review bro.. Cheer! Just 1 doubt.. at 14:45 in rear view mirrors, how come the headlamps of new RC are not ON?
okay I saw it switched on at 15:10 .. maybe because of low video quality it wasn't visible earlier.. Kudos bro for the brilliant review.. :)
Thanks! Now the video is at 1080p 60 FPS, so do check out in that resolution, initially the video wasn't processed properly by TH-cam.
Please cover the 2018 Yamaha R3.
Does the RC390 have riding modes like Duke 390
Nice broh!
40kmpl is possible on 390 ride it in right gear n right you will get 35-40 max
bro rc te motamuti koto km constant jaoya jay???
should i go for a rc 390 or duke 390(2017 version).I love supersports....but duke is pretty tempting... and also the price is nearly same... and also the fact that new rc is gonna arrive by next year! Help me!
If you want to do city and highway short rides with a bit of cornering fun get the RC, for city and long tours get the Duke. Duke is more practical and all purpose motorcycle, whereas the RC is a more specialized motorcycle for trackdays and canyon riding.
please do review on hyosung gt250r.......
is it good for 1000km long tour ?
plz do fz25 review and topspeed test
Please help me out guys. I want the Rc 390 as a whole. But i want the TFT screen of the Duke 390. Which bike should i buy?
Then wait for 2020 RC 390.
Sir how to set rpm on rc 390 2017
Did the extra weight of the 2017 model cause any reduction in fuel economy? What was the average mileage that you got on your 300km trip?
d4dracula2010 i don't think the way we rode, will get you proper numbers plus it's a brand new bike and milage improves after 1st service, and now 7 kg weight gain wont affect mileage.
Can we install an underbelly exhaust on this like the 2016 model?
Don't think so
Hi Rahul,
I am looking to buy a bike either RC 390 or RR 310... but a bit confused...
I will especially be riding it on weekends. Not much as daily use for that I have my Ntorq.
Do let me know which should I go for, after seeing all the reviews RC has performance and feature and RR has comfort and looks.
Since you own a RC does the sitting posture really tire you out.
waiting for your reply bro...
cheers!!
Rupam
Go for rc 390. Very good for weekend rides. For daily work ntorq is more than enough
best review
Thanks!
Hi Rahul can you please tell me how to switch off abs on my rc 390 2017 model ?
+Abhinav Kumar it's in the video, you have to press and hold the left bottom button.
Hi there that is not working on the new one and the dealer is clueless here in durgapur. Have you tried yourself on the 2017 model ?
Also tell me about the heating issue if you can describe in a comment how bad is it and how much it heats
And do I pick this model or wait for the new one coming next year
Heating has reduced a lot but this is not a 200cc engine some heating in traffic will be there.
Hi Rahul, i am new to your channel and have just one worries about the KTM390 are did they solved the heating issues.
I own a royal enfield Classic 500 which i use for the long rides and i usually cover 450-500km a day i am planning for a new bike for the long rides. I have my eyes on himalayan and duke390, the only problem with himalayan is the lack of power and the speed is limited and the worries in KTM390 are the heating issues and is it good for long rides (450-500km a day) is the sitting posture comfortable for long rides. Really waiting for tour feedback.
Regards,
Santosh G
+santosh gopi the new version is very comfortable, I have just ridden the Duke 250 and the 390 has the same seating posture. Also the heating problem is only there in city bumper to Bumper traffic, the bike has never heated up even on my 2013 Duke during all day riding tours that I do. (I have videos of that riding with a group of Superbikes) all day riding is very easily possible on the new bike and the Bluetooth features added to it just gives an extra convinience.
Thanks for the really quick reply, i stay in bangalore and the showroom i visited had 250 and not the 390duke and i was comfortable with the seating but have no idea about the posture for the long rides and taking the luggage do you recommend 390duke for the leh-ladhak road trip. Have completed many rides down the south and i am planning leh-ladhak in august, please recommenced if duke is a doable bike for the road trip.
nice video
Thanks
wt is d mileage of the bike???
When its come to malaysia?
When r u doing the duke 390 2017 review?
I still waiting for the bike to get delivered to one of my subscribers so that I can do a proper review and not just a short road test video.
i heard next gen rc 390 is gonna debut at eicma 2017..what u gotta say about that??
+Abhinav Bahuguna I say we wait, EICMA is this month in November, so something nice may drop in.
Except the demerit of that glossy paint...which paint looks better in real environment ?? Is it the matte or The glossy one ?I mean which paint scheme gives more attractive look and acts as a good head turner ?
The glossy one looks better but is harder to maintain.
what is the current price of rc 390 2017 model in Mumbai
Hi Rahul, I am planning to buy a bike purely for long rides. I have narrowed down to CBR 250R. I know this has been in the market for very long. Is it still good to buy? Specially today when we have lot of other bikes.
cbr is the most trustworthy, reliable and dependable machine.
Bhai one of your best till now :) Darun laglo... thanks for all the tiresome efforts you make for us.
Ami Kolkata transfer nicchi and looking forward to buy the new Duke 200. What you say? Need your opinion.
+Atrin Chowdhury I would recommend the Duke 250 or the fz250
Thanks :)
Nice 👌👌👌
good one!
Thanks!
bro I have a query! How much does the side sticker of a new RC 200 COSTS?? Coz am wanting it to change it nigga
I think around 5000, not too sure.
only the side sticker or the entire set, I said the price of the entire set. for individual prices contact the dealership. there are aftermarket entire kits for 5000 as well.
Can you plz advise between CBR 250r vs KTM 390 in terms of built quality and reliability.thanks
+Nanda Kishore Ranga both are reliable, Honda a bit more but KTM is extremely goodnight performance wise KTM beats Honda, same thing about features, riding position is a bit more comfortable in Honda.
is anyone else wondering if that 10 point adjustable rear shock will be interchangeable with the 2016? Last years model came with less than desirable suspension, both front and rear shock are not good. Since KTM changed this for 2017, i would definitely look into swapping out if interchangeable...
The previous version was also 10 step adjustable.
so the suspension is still garbage, got it. I think it's silly KTM couldn't revamp the suspension options considering it was one of the biggest criticisms they got from the previous model. instead they add a slipper clutch, which mind you, should have came with last years model according to KTM before the launch. Poor release in my opinion, and a big FU to everyone that purchased the model prior.
Robert Soto no, both the suspension are different from last year version and the damping is much better and you can swap them. But will be expensive.
I'm waiting for 2017 duke 390
Hi Rahul i dream of RC390 2017 but afraid of the ride position and city ride challenges, pls help. Do we have any option to add riser to the handle bars.
+Hemant Kr. Shukla save yourself the trouble and go for the Duke 390
Does not attracts me.
:-(
i am going to buy ktm 390 but i dont no which bike to buy duke390 (r)rc390 can u please tell me which bike is good nd better to drive?
NIHIL Barath S
The RC 390 is one of the eye catchy bike on roads. It for short rides and not for touring and city ride as it heats up severely.
The Duke 390 also heats up but not as RC. If want to do heavy rides and touring with your friends then go for Duke 390.
Rahul da do you know any person who got an Tnt 899 in eastern india
No.
has the speed of rc 390 decrease
d due to extra weight of exhaust ?? if yes than how much
I don't think so.
is it comfortable for long ride than previous rc ?
12 mm more seat cushion. That makes it more comfortable.
rahul tell about the new RC 390 heating problem.how much km can we ride without stopping dew to heating
+Sanjay L in highway it will not heat up in all day riding, so even 1000km is okay, but in city under 20 km of speed it heats up I'm 5 km of.bumper to bumper traffic.
