Excellent review! Thanks!

Pick my new 2023 up tomorrow from the dealer. I appreciate your video's. I have pretty much noted all the quirks of the bike so I don't get too frustrated with it. Can't wait to pick it up and take it on it's first ride!

I have this motorcyle. Agreed, this bike is not great on rough trails, but on dirt/gravel county roads this bike is 100% pure fun. I have had no problems shifting to neutral.

Now that was a good review...along with some good humor. You have provided some good points to think about. Thank you.

I bought this bike last month and took it to the trails and had a blast. One thing everyone complain and it just happened to mine is the chain. The bike has less than 300 miles and the chain is already stretched out more than a stripper on a pole.

Enjoy the vids. I have the 2022 390 adv and I love it. I'm down in Eugene area so come on down and visit! 😄

I have a video suggestion for you. Can you do a brake test for the 390ADV since I couldn't find any. There are 1-2 for the 390 Duke but they're in Hindu. You can try braking at 40/60/80km/h with abs on and off perhaps?

Love the comparison and reasoning for this bike, Cheers.

Very good review. I recently also bought this bike. April of this year. Model of year 2022. I have the same issues with finding neutral, but I figure out the same way as you. 😊 What bothers me a bit? Vibrations in 5k - 6k range. I like this bike too. I already passed 4500km. Grating from the Czech Republic. I wish you a lot of happiness with her.

grip puppies help big time. i switched to motul oil that helps with neutral alot on both 390s i have owned

Thank you, I enjoyed this review. I am torn between this bike (the 2023 model) and the BMW 310 GS. It's really hard to know which bike I will like best since I cannot test ride a new KTM. The dealerships will not start the KTM until it has been registered to the new owner, so I am relying heavily on reviews of current 2023 owners. I love reviews where people explain how the bikes feel in certain situations (on road/off road, etc.) while they are actually riding the bike. That helps to visualize their experience at the time it is happening. Unfortunately, most of these videos are from people just test riding the bike, or who just bought it without many miles on it. I like your review because you aren't walking around the bike showing what it looks like and explaining features that I can learn about from the KTM website or talking to the dealer. It's good to hear an opinion from someone who has actually put a good number of miles on it. Much appreciated, this is another +1 for the KTM. 😊

Loved your review. It's nice to hear the things many reviewers don't even touch upon. I bout my 390 brand new, and now it's at 300 miles only. My only complaint would be that I'm feeling terrible vibration especially above 5000rpm. Yes it's a single cylinder but still trying to have it at it's most comfortable level. I don't do any offroading by the way. I have bought the stock comfort seat which has eradicated the vibration on the seat, re-installed the plastic on the footpegs, which will hopefull do the same. And for the hands, a softer grip perhaps? Anything else I can do? Will this vibration diminish a little as bike gets old? I bought it brand new and now it's at 500 kilometers. After what milage roughly will I start feeling a little more comfort in terms of vibration? Thanks. Subscribed.

In India the bike is available at around 30% cheaper cost. Yet when I come across people calling it an expensive motorcycle I have a smile on my face and I want to say to them- man you don't know what that thing is, haha.

Waste of my time
