Kawasaki India launched the Ninja 300 in 2013 and since then has created big fan following for itself. The RC 390 is the full faired version of the Duke 390 and is relatively new entrant in the Indian motospace. While the engine specs are not similar but still they are the closest competitors attracting same segment of buyers. Also there is a big price difference between the two here whereas in international market the KTM and Kawasaki are priced very close to each other and are considered direct rivals.
Recently guys at Motorbeam pitted the KTM RC 390 against the Kawasaki Ninja 300 in a head to head battle and what follows is a crisp video review analyzing the strengths of both the machines. But we feel not everyone will agree with their conclusion.
