I am confused between the Honda CBR250R and the KTM RC 390. Which would be a better option for everyday use, while offering more comfort?

AAA For everyday use and comfort, as required by you, it’s the Honda CBR250R that works better. However, if you are looking for quicker performance, sharper handling and on-track capability, then that’s where the KTM RC 390 gains a considerable edge.
The 200mm rear tyre on the Fat Boy provides confidence around sweeping bends.
The handlebar, pegs and seat ergonomics makes it fun to lean the 1200 Custom Sportster into corners.
Though the Sportster looks loud with its twin exhausts, it doesn’t have a boisterous burble.
Brakes have more than adequate bite, but ABS is missed.
Dimension, lean angle values of bikes were clues that led to coordinates.
1200 Sportster gets the same potent engine as the Forty-Eight, making it good for both urban commuting and countryside rides.
41 degrees; that’s a cool day in Chennai.
Tyres take a hammering in just two laps.
Rajini getting suited up to take the RC200 out for a few hot laps of the track.
We often passed under the DJI Inspire 1, used for video footage.
We use more than a dozen cameras in all to bring you the action.
Tyres get 4psi more each for the track.
Checking ‘the lap’ on the V-box software to check if we have all data.
GoPro gets attached to the hood of the Audi R8. You need to get a firm fix, else it can fly off quite easily at upwards of 180kph.
