i bought one 2 weeks ago, even running it in, its a fantastic bike, so light and flickable on the twisties 😁
After 32yrs of riding 1000cc+ bikes, i sold my bought new 2018 R1200GS 'Rallye' and bought a RE Himalayan and loved it, ..BUT this KTM390 Adv is going to be my 'little bad boy' 💪, I live in the UK Lake district (Cumbria) and this excellent bike is going to show up some big bike riders on the local lake roads..just loving this bike to bits ❤
At 56yrs old now, I finely realised that there is more fun riding a lighter, smaller engine bike fast, than a heavy, large engine bike slow 🤣
I picked it up new on Thursday, got a rear rack delivered on Friday and took it loaded up with camping gear for the weekend..rode it 100 miles without a stop, the seat is very firm but also very comfortable, with more miles i travel the seat will break in EVEN more comfortable..this 390ADV is going to be my high mileage touring bike due to lightweight touring bikes are the way to go in my 3 decades of riding experience and nothing compares to the power that the KTM390 motor will give you 😄

Looks good! I’m glad the spoke wheels are available. Sadly, I need to downsize from my beloved BMW 1200GS due to my age. I’ll be 74 in a few days but I’ve had a good run! I still have a few miles left in me.

Picked up a new 2022 390 Adventure three week's ago. Love it! I really wanted an 890 Adventure R, but way to bike much for a 63 year old. The 390 is perfect.

I'm a retired public safety officer (police motorcycle) and I have rode a lot of bikes in my years, Harley, BMW, Kawasaki, Suzuki and I have owned and ridden just about everything with the exception of a KTM. Well that changed last fall (2022) with my purchase of the new 2022 KTM 390 Adventure. I was looking to replace my R1150GSA with a smaller bike and wanted something around a 400cc displacement, figuring that was the size that would be fit my need of a light weight machine that could still ride the highways. When I found the KTM 390 Adventure, I knew it was exactly what I was looking for. It is a blast to ride, easy to handle and I'm averaging right at 70 mpg / 30 km/l. I just wish there were stock heated grips I could purchase and then the bike would be perfect.

India Needs To Get Every Version Of KTM Bikes ....

[manybikes]

I love the 390 platform. I own (and LOVE) my 1190 Adv R but it is heavy... and expensive to maintain. in 2017 I picked up a 390 Duke and "Adventurized" it... SO Freaking FUN! Just last month I added a 390 Adv to the mix as the suspension on the Adv is way better than the Duke. For the daily commute or ADV... the 390 is a great and "less expensive" option all the way around. Drive train on the 1190 is close to $350 while on the 390 it is closer to $150 and I have found this with many parts. Low on cc's but BIG on FUN the 390 is.... Looking for more!

[marcfalardeau]

I just wish KTM had, as planned, a 490 parallel twin engine adventure bike! Although my GS 1250 is a heavy beast, I can do almost anything offroad with proper coaching and practice! Ride safe! Marc, Quebec, Canada 😉🏍

India also need the same version with all updates and adjustable suspension.

[SuperFrodo]

Another year and the footpegs are still angled. I think the only difference between the 2022 and 2023 models is the spoked wheels.
If KTM wants to step up their optional parts range, lower and flat footpegs and bar risers or handlebars with higher grips will go down well with riders who want to stand up comfortably. Finding aftermarket footpegs that are lowered and have a rubber insert is a real challenge. I don't want just a metal cleat because I'm not always going to be riding in wet or muddy conditions, and dampening vibrations from the engine is still important for comfort.

Sounds like a genuine review. It's as if the guys at ktm actually ride this thing and know how to use it

[simonerodgers]

Well done KTM. The 390 is looking awesome.

[orlandoberry]

Now all it needs is a 21/18 wheel combination and 300mm of suspension along with better seat footpeg relationship.

[Patryk_Luna]

Awesome. 2 things:

1) SUPER happy to see the spoked wheels are back! Hoping they will be available as a power part so I can get them for my 2022 390 Adv?

2) Are the electronics any different to the 2022 model?

[nealmcmillan]

Thanks for the off-road tutorial. Really enjoying my 2020.

[crazyRyoga]

My dream bike would be one similar to the 690 enduro, but with this engine. Weight under 150Kg (possibly 140), two versions (normal and big tank), 18/21 wheels, big ground clearance. Now that would sell a lot, I think. Basically something in the same category as the crf300 rally, but with a decent power. I mean, the 690 enduro has over 70hp and it's about 155Kg, why can't you make a smaller version of that one...

I understand everything, but why are you not giving tubeless tyres in KTM 390 Adventure? It's a hardcore off-road bike, what will you do if the tyre pump ture for some reason?

[matt_kelly]

The cast wheels were the weak point on this bike, I dented one up enough to break the bead and had to get a new one, then dented it a week later. If I knew they were coming out with a spoked option I probably would have thought twice about buying a used 890 R, haha.

I'm going to miss my 390; I have a 690 Enduro as well and don't need a million bikes so it has to go, but I took it to some really gnarly places that I probably shouldn't have.

[ManosGS-rusg]

It would be a very useful video to show us how to adjust the suspensions. i mean what is the best to do according to the riding situations!

[ferkuzuel]

Great presentation! It sure looks nice with the spoke wheels, but, I think that 90 percent of riders who owns the 390 will not break the cast wheels, unless they crash very badly and in that case you will probably break a bunch of other stuff anyway
