Pros Cons of KTM 390 Adventure

Pros

  • Lightweight & easy to handle
  • Comfortable ergonomics
  • Value-friendly

Cons

  • Not a dedicated off-roader
  • Low on fuel efficiency
  • Lacks adjustable suspension

Verdict

The long-travel suspension of the KTM 390 Adventure is built to handle all kinds of terrain, and the motor is punchy enough to keep even experienced riders entertained. At ₹ 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the KTM 390 Adventure may seem a little pricey, but if you consider the superb off-road capability, coupled with the features and electronics package, there's no doubt that there's nothing quite like it yet, at that price point. 

Pros Cons Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight

Pros

  • Classic H-D cruiser styling
  • V-twin engine sound

Cons

  • Small fuel tank limits range
  • Gearbox not very refined
  • Performance & acceleration

Verdict

The Harley-Davidson Forty-Eight Special is definitely not your affordable cruiser. After all, there's a price to be paid to look uber cool and enhance your riding personality. If you're the kind of guy who wants to make a statement with your ride, and nothing short of an all-American v-twin cruiser will do, by all means take a good look at the Forty-Eight, you may end up bringing it home. Just keep in mind that it may start losing its appeal soon.
