I have the Duke 390. She's more of a first race bike than anything else. She wants to rev, and to race. Riding timidly in traffic is not its territory. Nor are long rides. Now, I had the CB500F, which uses same engine as Rebel 500. That bike was so boring, it could put you to sleep. KTM is a lot more fun, but not as practical.
