By Aamir on 10-11-2016
Luv its design but I think there should be more colours available for RC
And also the rear seat height is too much .
By Edwin on 28-11-2015
@Vineet. Plz check the top speed of your P220. I think u r overhyping it. Cuz the company itself claims it to b close to 135 kmph. So P220 not even close to RC 390. Why I am saying? Cuz I too own both.
By Himanshu on 18-11-2015
Bike is nice but u can go with pulsar 220 one of the nice bike. my rc has only reach 160kmph. wheras my pulsar 220 has reached 158 so whats great in rc 390

By Akash on 20-09-2015
This bike is really magical. it's awesome. In my life I've never rided this type of fighter. Real AK !!!
By Dhruv K Jeff on 09-09-2015
The bike feels tends to feel a bit underpowered under 3000 rpm. so the best way to ride this bike is to make the most of its mid range. the power delivery is just amazing i mean after 7000 rpm it just goes boom. handling wise its really flickable and a corner with an rc really comes in the picture. things i didnt like about the bike are firstly the vibrations below 3000 -4000 rpms. secondly the readiator fan i mean its too loud. third is the fuel tank i mean come on only 9.5 l for a 373cc bike. to sum it up i would say that it is not a pencil not a cabbage nor a bottle nor a pizza . its a thorough breed committed supersport machine made to make u feel like a racer and engineered to probably make u one!!!! Ride safe!!! Cheers
By Akarsh Shetty on 01-06-2015
