www.motorbeam.com road tests the 2017 KTM Duke 390 while comparing it with the old Duke 390 to see how big a leap is there in the second generation model. Both these motorcycles signal affordable performance biking for India with the latest generation Duke 390 offering a lot of tech and refinement over its predessor.
While the 2017 KTM Duke 390 is priced at a premium, it features a bigger fuel tank that gives it a better range although the mileage of both bikes is more or less the same. The best performance bike you can buy in India on a budget, when it comes to single-cylinder motorcycles, nothing comes close to the 2017 KTM Duke 390.
The 2017 KTM Duke 390 is not only fast but offers a better ride quality than before, it even handles better but gets inferior, low-rated Metzeler tyres. The new bike's all LED headlight and TFT instrument cluster was subject to a recall due to issues of flickering and compatitibility with Android phones respectively.

Do you pull that front tire up in the air in First gear or second? Which is best? I ask because I see guys going down the road pretty fast sometimes and they suddenly pull it up into a wheelie.....

Hi Faisal, is it possible to swap the front end of the 2016 duke 390 with the 2017 one? I think that's all the old bike needs..better brakes and damping. You could make a video about it!
