Apart from the overheating in the city, the bike was just fab.
BHPian MileCruncher recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
I had the 1st gen Duke 390 bought in Nov 2013. I rode the bike exactly for 1 Km to decide that it was for me. Got the bike before moving from Hyderabad to Bangalore and what a joy riding it was.
I remember one magazine had called it ” The Widow Maker” and I could attest to it. A little miss on the throttle and brake coordination, and you would be on the tarmac. I also had the same Viaterra bags which worked well for not only touring but also grocery shopping. Apart from the overheating in the city, the bike was just fab. I still remember the grin that I would have on signal to signal. Toured a bit of south India and then Bangalore – Goa – Mumbai when I moved here.
Nov 2013- Nov 2014 – 900 Kms
Nov 2014 – Dec 2016 – 17000Kms
Jan 2017 – Apr 2022 – 4000 Kms.
Finally bid adieu to the beloved at 22xxx Km mark
