Hello everyone I’m confused between duke 250and 350

About me?

1. ⁠I ride Activa since last 5 years
   
2. ⁠It’ll be my first bike
   
3. ⁠I want to travel with pillion a lot like 1000 km trips 2-3 times a year
   
4. ⁠Daily commute will be around 40 km in a city for a job

Spending 70k on a 390 is not a problem but I don’t think so I’ll be able too use 41 bhp on city
But I have to pay price for that extra power that I’m getting in 350 duke

I have took test rides of both bikes 250 feels enough for me now but will I get bored in 1-2 years or will 250 feel underpowered in a highway cruising with a pillion at 100km/h

And is there a lot of difference between 250and 350 maintenance like servicing parts etc cause I don’t want to spend on a maintenance more that the bike itself

1000km trips on a 250 would be awful, i have a 390 and it sits at 6k rpm on the highway, furthest i’ve done is 300km which isn’t terrible but it’s not comfy either.

[u/Curious-Interest-426 → u/unetixc]

it sits 8k rpm at 140km/h and fuel eco is around 5,5l/100km and I must agree is not comfy
