Yes… no mods

@@TravelBiteSleep you mean for the lights? It’s custom made by the mechanic who installed them.

Thanks for sharing your experience too! I guess that it's no wonder that KTM have extended their warranty over here to 5 years. Electronics are susceptible! CNY 820 is quite expensive!!

@@adarshdarpe4646 it’s great. Check my other video where I have tested the performance on a pitch dark ghat road. Must Have Bike Accessories | Maddog Alpha Lights - Experience Next-Level Night Riding ua-cam.com/video/xuaSJEPpmWU/v-deo.html

@@adithyamanthena9104 No not official. Might be someday but I do participate in some of their group tours

@@aniketpokle7444 no idea… will have to find out. I expect that it would be a few thousand Rs as the entire console is changed including the grip. But just bcos it’s Bajaj-KTM, it wouldn’t be as expensive as say a BMW. In either case, the bike comes with a 5 yr warranty so these things should be covered for quite a bit of time!

@@akhilkrishna2614 this is an excellent riding jacket and I’ve used it for over 15000 kms including Pune to Ladakh ride last year. Normal wear and tear does happen but nothing too serious. Just the main zipper broke this year but Rynox fixed it for ₹300

@@ChamithAwith I’ve seen this on Amazon but it’s a lot more expensive there

@@aj_wuwei I can guarantee that you will enjoy cornering using these tyres right upto scraping the footpegs! Have had these for more than 15000 kms now including 6000 kms of those in Pune to Ladakh round trip last year. The grip these tyres offer is excellent and they never let you down!

@@fieryspy6414 maybe it does… i will have to test it thoroughly to find out. Overall I feel the quality of the bike is not upto the mark and you can get much better for the same amount. This is one place the bike simply can’t compare with the KTMs

@@vishnuTalla-n1o Thanks!

Doing my little bit to keep our Earth safe and clean! ☺️

@@thewanderlustride we need more person like you

@@sfgxmonsta4892 Agree… someday will find a friend to lend me the bike for a thorough test ride. I’m sure the engine throws out performance post 7k rpm, just like the KTMs… I’m just not too happy with the overall build quality and the fit and finish, especially at this price point. As a flagship model from Hero, it thoroughly lacks a premium feel.

@@swadeswithsamant1067 i know… that’s one reason I prefer my Duke 200… but then u don’t get ride modes

@thewanderlustride modes ,ride by wire is best for higher cubic capacity bikes ...bhagwan na kare sochiye u are on a slop n suddenly throttle kaam na kare

@ don’t agree… 390 Adv has way too much power and it does deserve riding modes to control the torque… kabhi test ride lekar dekhna out on the highway.

@@thewanderlustride bhai i own one

@ enjoy!

Thank you!

@@Ix_eclipse777 i recommend to apply the leather refueler from time to time. It keeps the gloves soft, supple and comfortable and increases the life of the glove. It’s not too expensive. I’m using the one from Amaroq

Can apply coconut oil

@ yes but using a specific product such as a leather refueler will also ensure that the leather gloves stay supple and comfortable to wear.

@@thewanderlustride Oh man Thank you I read the msg today

@@kobi165561 sure… try it… then ride your bike to 100 kmph in traffic and try your brakes… they should work wonders! 😝

I would recommend to first pressure wash it thoroughly to remove any residue. The rest should get removed by the brake cleaner, although it might take a couple of applications

@@swapnilrs4166 agree… most of the route is pretty secluded. It offers great views during the daytime but it’s no fun at night

@@sabarinathv4206 my jacket is L size

@@jedits7835 i completed all 6000 kms Pune to Ladakh ride without any issues on the Duke… not even a puncture. The seat/suspension is hard but there are technique’s to get used to it. The longest I rode on this trip was 900 kms Chandigarh to Udaipur and was ready to ride another 900 the next day from Udaipur to Pune 😉

@@thewanderlustride good

I suppose you mean after 12 am. No I don’t think so. This was an effort by all the shops across Laxmi Road.

can't really comment without a full one on one test between the XMR and the RC

It's already done by other's on youtube.

@@sidharthadey4303 hope i get the chance to do it some day. Don’t have a friend with an XMR to pit against my Duke 200

@@sidharthadey4303 one thing I can say for sure from what I experienced, it might have a higher indicated top speed than the KTM Duke/RC 200 but it is nowhere near as much fun to ride! And finally when it comes to the value proposition, you have to look at what each bike is capable of delivering at the price point it is being sold at. And this one is certainly expensive considering the lesser features and electronics.

@@thewanderlustridekarizma's sprocket is the only set back of the bike. That's why the pickup is lower in the beginning. Otherwise it won't let anyone get ahead of it even in the initial.

No the tyres are superb. Only more tyre noise due to block pattern

@@thewanderlustride thank you

You can remove the nozzle from the hydration bag and then push it through the jacket and reconnect it to the bag.

@@thewanderlustride i bought Raida hydration bladder since Rynox wasnt available the nozzle is not getting detached so did other way round totally opposite of how originally it has to be done i.e. put the other end which is connected to bag through that gap and connected that pipe to bag and put it inside the jacket. Reverse engineering basically.

@@venkateshchaganti3752 actually that’s how it has to be done 😉 I also use a Raida hydration bladder.

@@thewanderlustride haha great then😊

Thank you for your own feedback on this bike. I think you have nailed it by comparing it somewhat to the gixxer 250. I have reviewed the V-Strom 250 SX in another video and got a similar feeling from the bike. These are not outright performance bikes but do well in an urban setting offering a balance between power and comfort as you have mentioned.

Go for it! 👍Always work on chasing your dreams rather than having lifelong regrets! Every step forward is a step closer to the life you truly desire!

like i said, it definitely is a head-turner.. especially in Yellow!

muafi! 😁 force of habit as I had the OG Hero Honda Karizma for 17 yrs!

@@thewanderlustride i got it when you said 17yrs

@@thewanderlustride and where are you from??

@@GSEDITZAMV I’m from Pune, MH

@@thewanderlustride from Vijayawada Andhra Pradesh

Yes it is

All the Best! 👍🏻

Congratulations. I have one too. Matte black 🖤. Been a year now

it really is an amazing bike… but 10 lakh on road… probably too high. Especially when you have the Kawasaki Z650 for much less. I haven’t test ridden it yet and am really looking forward to the KTM Duke 650 which is bound to be much more fun. All these bikes have less ground clearance, My Duke 200 has a 159 mm gc and it does scrape tall speed breakers. It’s something we need to live with in India!

i haven’t tested it for mileage but considering the 399 engine is the same as the KTMs, it should return around 28-30 kmpl

It gives 35-40 kmpl on highways and in city 31-35 kmpl

@@vivekgopinathan6960 The main Mahabaleshwar market is just 3 kms away. You have lots of places there to dine out

@@thewanderlustride perfect. Ty

get the new Duke 250, if possible to stretch! It’s kind of an all rounder and you will have an even better experience! 👍🏻

@@thewanderlustride it's bit expensive ... And the looks have also gone down ... I have a 125cc currently... I was thinking about ns400 but mileage is a concern on that

@@elferrari2145 Got it! Duke 200 is a capable machine, no doubt. All through my almost 6000 kms ride, I had no issues, not even a puncture!

Total 16 days: Petrol 16k, Food: 7k, Hotels: 49k. Depending on group size and hotel options, this cost can be lesser.

@@relangi_mavayya I think you should be fine. I am 5’7 and I was flat footed on both sides.

Thank you!

yes… truly uncomfortable. Even after I’ve installed an extra 1” foam on the seat. However I’ve been using techniques to make it bearable plus the riding suit definitely helps.

Thank you! The zana guard on my bike is really good. I didn’t have any trouble throughout my Ladakh ride last year
