I’m looking to buy a bike, preferably with a liquid-cooled, fuel-injection system. My budget is up to Rs 3 lakh. Please give me options that come with this tech.
Srinivas, Andhra Pradesh

AAA The only bikes under Rs 3 lakh with fuel-injection and liquid-cooling are the KTM Duke 200, Duke 390, RC 200, RC 390, and the Bajaj Dominar 400. Of these, we highly recommend the Duke 390 or RC 390, simply because they offer the best handling and performance from this lot. It all comes down to your usage and riding style. The KTM Duke 390 is a street-naked that’s good for the city and highway, while the RC 390 is a more aggressive, sport-oriented machine.

Getting the tyre pressure right for the track is vital.

Masking tape seems crucial for data collection.

Immediate processing of data eliminates errors.

Although 3.55sec off the fastest time, the GSX-R1000R is a potent machine.

Setting lap times while the track temperature was at 47deg mark was no easy feat.

A crash from an earlier race and an injured finger – not enough to stop a world-class racer, though.

Scuffed toe sliders indicate just how hard Rajini was pushing to set these lap times.
