Several expletives were hurled by everyone who rode the 2013 KTM 390 Duke for the first time. Some so gnarly, they wouldn't just make this magazine R-rated, they would get it banned in most conservative provinces. Revoking the same emotions as the legendary and hallowed Yamaha RD350 was no small feat, yet it achieved it in modern times and that too, at a salivating introductory price. A decade later, and the Devil has returned, to make us commit sins yet again. To make us do things that are bad, in a God man's eyes. But, the regime has changed drastically as there are more angels and demons flying in the air. Eyeing every chance to dethrone the Devil. Is the new 390 Duke maniacal enough to rule the streets again? Is it approachable enough to bewitch newer riders? The task at hand was to find the answers on one eventful day, without getting hurt in the process.
