The Story of My KTM RC 390

·2 mins

I had it for an year, on 2014 we are all very familiar with a Sport Bike Manufacturer Named KTM and their Naked bikes named Duke 200 and Duke 390. It was so impressive in the way it looked and the performance it had. At the time 2014 the most torque producing bike in the mid-market was these.

As a Adrenaline Junkie I loved the Performance and Risk Review it got all over the place. It had a Review of most Deaths happend with a bike was these due to the torque it produced. I was Dreaming of buying Duke 200 as it was around Rs 1.65 lakhs and it was most valuable money for my family.

Then on May 2014 I saw a news about a KTM’s that year’s launch of a very new model of a bike which is completely based on track usage named RC 200 and RC 390. It was very damned in the way they looked and they actually produced the same amount of performance as Duke’s which are speed limited to 179 Kmph (RC 390 and Duke 390 Models). So I made a lot of dramas just to prebook RC 200 so once it got launched at September 2014.

We as a family went to Prebook the bike in KTM Showroom, Ashok Nagar, Chennai. Once we arrived at the show room we were able to touch and feel both the bike RC 200 and RC 390. The RC 390 was more bolder and worthier than the 200 and it had a double the Performance of RC 200 with the price difference of 50K Rs. So my Mother without knowing about the Horsepowers helped me to prebook the 390 model rather than 200. It had a horsepower of 43Bhp.

Then It was very silent for next 6 months till March 2015, I used to have a habit of watching the showroom daily and starring like it was from out of this world.

Then one day we got the call that the bike has Arrived. We

have paid 2.46 lakhs for the Beast. I went to the day of delivery it was such a awww moment that made me to keep the bike with me till now even after I bought a car and a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650. That was an another story will be shared soon.

Thank you for Reading this long about the story of my First Bike.
