The Keeway V302C is the only 300-cc V-twin cruiser in India and we take it for a spin to see just how good it is

Rare and Unique

PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE THAT TO cruise comfortably at good speed, one cylinder is not enough and there used to be no option that would fulfil this requirement unless one ventured into the 650-cc segment; until Keeway entered the scene with the V302C. Keeway India seems to be a little confused about its motorcycle because the bike is described as a bobber on the firm's website but that's hardly the case. One look at that profile and it is easy to see that this motorcycle's styling has been inspired by an American cruiser icon.

The styling of this motorcycle does not raise any eyebrows because Keeway has played this one by the book. A 16-inch wheel at the front and a 15-inch one at the rear give the V302C an ideal low-riding cruiser stance with a reasonable 158 millimetres of ground clearance. The thick USD fork at the front runs up to a small but powerful LED headlamp to form the front end. Meanwhile, a teardrop-shaped fuel-tank holds 15 litres of petrol and sits atop the V of the engine with the air-filter in between them, creating a positive visual. From there, the rest of the motorcycle slopes away to form an equally retro tail.

KTM claim that the significantly updated 1390 Super Duke R is 60 per cent new, with new cam-shift technology for the first time, plus the obvious increase in capacity. But it is not all about the grunt: KTM have tweaked the suspension and rider aids, which will, hopefully, control the increase in power and torque. We headed to the Almeria circuit in Spain to spin some laps on the KTM's biggest bruiser
