I didn’t know Hyderabad taxes are so low compared to Bangalore. He mentioned on road Hyderabad is 2.84L. In Bangalore we need to pay around 45-50k more(3.3-3.4L) |

I have been to 2 showrooms. Not available in Bengaluru as yet. Bikewale.com does not feature the prices yet. 3.3 on road in KA will be shocker. I am hoping it will be 3.05 ish |

Well adv390 with ex-showroom 3.04L is 3.97 on road. So I expect this to be around 60-65k cheaper which brings it to around 3.3/3.4L at best. Let’s see |

I got my 390 for 2.41 L on road, four years back. Price hikes by KTM and sky high Karnataka taxes, I can't even think of spending 3.2 lacs on a 250 cc bike. :eek: |

I once got a chance to ride the 200 and my 390 back to back through some very twisty ghat sections in Karnataka. After riding the 390 the 200 felt almost telepathic in the way it carved through corners! It had sharp turn-in and kept its line with minimal fuss while the 390 was understeering and needed more lean angle and I had to shift more weight on the insides to make the corner. It's a no-brainer though, that chassis was primarily designed for the 200 and the 390/250 were afterthoughts and it shows. Think the 200 had a perfect central weight distribution and 390 with the heavier engine is more front biased which causes it to understeer. But once you step into the 4-lane droneways the 390 starts to make sense. 390 is a good all-rounder while the 200 is a one trick pony (albeit a good trick) :) |

Awaiting a good review from reliable channels on the bike. Most freelance reviews agree that the bike is smooth and flickable. Basic off road reviews are positive. The seat height seems to be manageable. Can clarify only on a test ride. Has anyone managed a test ride so far |

Somehow none of the channels seem to have got hold of the bike till now. It’s only the individual youtubers picking it up from showrooms. But then nowadays every tom, dick & harry with a mobile and go-pro is a reviewer lol: |

And as a stand alone product it still holds some merit. With crazy taxes in KA the onroad difference in price with the 390 is nearly 80k. I am getting back on a bike after 10 years. My benchmark of performance is low due to RE usage stupid: |

A very close friend of mine swayed similarly by a lot of internet riders and their pearls of wisdom thought that the 250 would be perfect because the 390 would be too much. All my advice to the contrary later he bought the 250 for riding in the mountains around Gangtok. Then Rishikesh. Now after having barely ridden the bike (he's a RX100 rider from college days, the blue one I had posted elsewhere) he's passing it on to his elder brother and buying a 390. Cheers, Doc |
