    Headlight cluster of 250 duke gen 3 is more beautiful than 390 duke gen 3. Am i the only one with this opinion?🤔

    Brother should i get MT-15 or Duke 250 or Ns 250? Im soon gonna get in a college and i want something that is quite reliable and with fine mileage and awesome performance 😊

    • @baldandbiker
      @baldandbiker  10 місяців тому +4

      You can't get fine mileage and awesome performance both at the same time.
      So here're my suggestion,
      Reliable, Good mileage and some performance: Get MT-15.
      Reliable, Great performance: Get Duke 250.
      Okay mileage and some performance: NS 250.(Pulsar have some reliability issue)
      I guess if you don't want to spend more in long run then get MT-15.

    Bro i also have duke 250 gen 3 and i installed the touring accessories from Zana. The seat is like rock 🪨 I can’t ride it after 100kms. Did you do anything to your seat ?

    • @baldandbiker
      @baldandbiker  6 місяців тому

      I did nothing at all. I agree that the seat is not comfortable but it's not like I can't ride.
      Priorities I guess 😉.

    Can you please tell how is vibration ? What is service interval?

    • @baldandbiker
      @baldandbiker  10 місяців тому +2

      Some noticeable vibration occurs under the 4000 rpm. But these can be ignored. Service interval is at 7000 km which is a long distance that means it's quite reliable bike.

    Brother what about engine ktm has shifted from dohc to sohc..so will it be more reliable now and there won’t be engine rebuild issue ??

    • @baldandbiker
      @baldandbiker  8 місяців тому +3

      Shifting from DOHC to SOHC isn't a big issue. Everything seems better and refined now.
      For the rebuild issue, we can't come to a result because it's a new engine and we need time to see the effect in the long run. For now, No-one is facing any big issue as per our knowledge.

    Hi Bro. Do you have any vibration while riding. How is pillion comfort

    • @baldandbiker
      @baldandbiker  10 місяців тому +1

      Hi Bro, there are some vibrations in below the 4000rpm. But these are not hampering with your riding comfort and for the pillion comfort. Sitting is very comfortable for pillion until unless you've some luggage on you. I'll recommend installing pannier for the luggage carrying.
      Suspensions are also nice and soft to absorb bad roads bumps.
      Hope this helps. 😊🙌

      Throttle response is aggressive in this one and have gear ratio in the high side. Pillion seat is not comfortable at all for long rides.

    Himalayan 450 or Duke 250 or Duke 390.
    I'm a software engineer and budget isn't an issue for me. I'll be using bike for 3 days a week office and alternate weekend for small to medium long ride(100-350kms) and sometimes long ride like 500+ kms.
    Which one I should consider and why? I've been riding Ronin so far and I'm not liking it for long ride, for city it's awesome.
    PS: my height is 180 cms but my lower torso is small and it's like 5'8"

      ADV 390 is also a good option for touring purpose. I would suggest taking test ride of ADV 390 and Himalayan 450. Avoid Duke 250 if budget is not a problem and upgrading from Ronin.

      Not speed 400 because it feels compact and small for long rides.
