I’m 54 and own a 2022 390 Duke. I can’t sell it as I feel 17 when I ride🤣

Great video as usual John - I have to say (as someone who generally is not a fan of KTMs) this bike is right up my alley. I really like small capacity bikes on the road and I loved the old Duke 390 - I'm really pleased they've kept the headlight a bit more like the old design and al the other improvements look top notch. That TFT and quickshifter all for under £6K!! What a great value bit of kit - I need to get me a go on one of these little puppies!!

I am 6ft tall and this Duke 390 is my favourite bike. Its so nimble and punchy and fun. You feel like you can throw it in every corner and drive between the lanes and do whatever you like with it. Never felt same confidence with any other bike and ive driven many.

[chriswest]

This looks awesome. I got a gen2 with 40k kilometres and its been great.

Looks like a great days riding Chopsy, thanks for taking us there! Entertaining review!

Bought a 2020 model with 114 miles on it a month ago after a 15 year break from riding. After riding like a twat for a couple of rides, it all came back to me and this bike has made me smile from ear to ear. Im 65 and lovin it

Still loving my 17 model year 390
Bought it last year secondhand, lovely to ride. This looks like a nice refresh

[davewestsk]

I had a 17 plate 390 was great fun like a toy you can just play about on. I traded it for a gsx 8s but enjoyed my time with it.

Think we have heard you say '20 stone fatty enough now'. Try some other descriptions such as 'pork chop', 'three chins' just to mix things up a bit! :) Great reviews other than that.

Great review. I’m 58, six feet and 220 lbs. Had a stroke, but I’m bouncing back fast. Needed a lighter bike then my 2007 990 super duke. So I got this orange 390 looker! Enough power for the back roads. Enough for the highway, but you have to hold on if it’s windy. The preload was set at 2 when I got. I tested all the settings and found a sweet spot 7 out of 10 notches. Really made the bike fall into the corners. He’s as I get stronger will probably want this new lighter 990 but the fun thing is on this 390 I’m actually learning to be a better rider. You can push it harder and it’s manageable. The quick shifter is extra in the U.S. $275. I think it will be a good add on since you have to change gears more then a bigger bike. I do miss the larger tires off a 1000cc bike. But for $6000 the way this rides and the way it looks it’s a proper Baby Duke!

I have a gen1 390 duke for 7 years now with 35k on it and it's stil such a fun bike

[willgarrod]

Hey Chopsie, I just bought one of these today, based on your review which I trust implicitly. Lings Powersports in Norwich are supplying it. 4 years ago I bought my lovely 701SM which was on your recommendation as well…so if either turn out to be a bad decision, I’m blaming you😉

[DMRMOTORSPORT]

I normally ride superbikes but I really want a 390 to mess around on. Looks like such a fun little bike.

[bcab]

I got a buddy with a first gen 390 that he refuses to let go of. Blew the motor on our ride between Medellin and Cartagena a couple years ago, got a fresh motor and sold it. A few months later, he bought the bike back from the guy taking a bath on it because he missed it so much. 🤣🤣

[deanharris]

That bike looks like a hoot to think having a smaller capacity machine for commuting and having a bit of blast around would be great for a second bike.
Love it Chops ❤👍😊

[HippoDrones]

I loved my KTM 390... when it worked! They are such fun bikes.

[dadude]

im 6'1" 15 stone and I ride my gen 2 390 like I stole it. I may look a bit big on it, but I'm having too much fun to care!!

[richardwarsinske]

Thanks, your review definitely put a smile on my face. I just traded in a 390 for a Suzuki 8S and while I like my new bike very much (as a 5'8"/155lb rider) I do miss the 390's lighter weight! Looks like this new model would be a worthwhile upgrade over its previous generation and for me worth a trip to KTM's next Demo day even if it's just for the fun of it.

[shadowred]

I had an 1988 ns125r, premix with castrols finest. I can see this ktm being as much fun as that was.

[frankensteinsgarage]

Great review as always Chopsy. Fun little bike and as you say. Good looking bike. Especially at the price point.
