Thank you for making the video in English, I’m from Mexico 🇲🇽, we haven’t gotten this bike yet so there isn’t almost any videos in Spanish, most of them are in Hindi, at least with your clip I can finally see it and understand what you’re saying (: It looks so amazing, I want it so bad, I’ve never ridden one before, I think I’m going to be so amazed by it, I need to work hard this year so I can buy one! Looking forward to seeing more vids from you, thank you again!

I like the fact that unlike some other people, you are actually being honest and talking about what actually matters, without being unnecessarily overexcited about it. Really liked this. One question I have is, can this be an upgrade over the gen 2?

Spoken like a true enthusiast rather than just an automotive "journalist". Exactly what i was thinking. Good enough bump in CC but just 2 ps more? They even reduced the compression ratio. Clearly they're trying to make the motorcycle more civilized. But yeah, if you know what you want, you know what you need to do.

I come from watching SCHAAF videos and genuinely love it. Matches my riding style. I came across your videos some couple of months ago. Did not like it in the first go, but honestly now LOVE YOUR WORK! Keep it up, keep up your honesty, keep up the way you ride. And please a “pure sound” of every bike you review should be made a MUST! Kudos! cheeers!

@strell you forgot about the A2 license cap of 47bhp. That's probably the reason KTM didn't tune it to do any better in terms of power output.

The new 399cc engine is definitely under tuned in the current setup. But I'm looking forward to the upcoming healthy competition in this segment with the twin cylinders coming in from yamaha and aprillia. 300-400cc segment is the new hot region. Let's see who's winning hearts and who's winning sales volume

The biggest thing I can see on paper is that from Gen1 390 weighing 140KG, this one weighs 168KG...That's a whopping 28KG of extra weight that it has to lug around. Great for highways but slightly affects the scariness factor of the 390. Love how the new 390 looks, superb design. That pillion seat is possibly the only usable one in the entire segment. Would love to hear your words on this against the top-spec fully kitted out RTR 310, on-road, there is a 50K cost difference between these two.

Thanks for your review it really helps. Have a question, can this bike be used for touring purposes? say 300 + km ride in a day with both highway rides and say not so good road? I had RE 500 cc sold that 4 years back and was out of touring and want to start again. Your suggestion would help me. Thank you.

hey @iamstrell just confuse between full fairing bike tvs rr 310 vs duke 390 3rd gen, can you suggest which one need to pick, i have a single requirement that i need to ride with pillion.

I particularly feel that the tank peice is a bit ugly. I think an RC with this design and better looking wheels will be awesome

Since the bike doesn't have a wind screen, while riding on the highway did you feel any wind blast, say at 80-100kmph? Also, since it's a very lightweight machine, did you have any issues with cross wind while riding it on Highway? Just trying to understand the highway capability of the bike.

Hi, thank you for detailed video I’ve a quick question, as you said the suspension are good and you went across a pothole as well My question is regarding would this bike go the mountains as I am planning to upgrade from a 160cc Is the suspension that good.

If I were to buy the new 390, I'd convince the showroom to put the black wheels from the duke 250 on my 390 😭😂

I dont believe any other motovlogger from India except you. you reviews are very honest. Also I think the head light with out the plastic on the side looks like a benelli 302 from the front. Im not saying its looking bad. it looks quiet nice, big bike look, its already grown on me 😂

Bro im glad i found your channel❤

@strell, how's the headlight performance? I've seen other videos where they said it's poor. Also how's the heat and vibrations, again it's said it heats a lot and has lot of vibrations.

I really love the way you review the bike.. I need your help in finding which bike is better new Duke 390 2024 model or CB300r ? which one would you recommend ? need your opinion. Budget is not the concern so please suggest which one to buy..

Have you had any major issues on your rc390? I have 2018 bs4 model and has issues. Now i have high hopes from this new lc4c engine and potentially could end up buying new rc390.

How is the suspension in mild offroad and bad roads. It has decent suspension travel of 150mm both ends, which is same as triumph scrambler 400x and honda cb 500x. So can we use it for mild offroads?

Yep...strell knows.... Tune it ❤

Hey bro! Love your reviews. Can you do a review on Benelli 502c and compare it with vulcan s or RE super meteor

As always very informative and accurate on point review. I am actually very exited for the next gen Rc390 with thw same engine and electeonics. That will be the killer of the machine much better than this duke i can gurantee.

Considering this as an upgrade from a gen 1 duke 250 (2017). Suggestions ?

Hi bro, hearing a lot of heating, vibration and engine seizure issues over and above 2nd gen! Is it true or some QC issue ? Could u pls confirm ? I am hesitating becoz of these issues ! Thanks for ur amazing work!

I like how you end your videos on a ‘good note’ 😉

What about lower end torque, i mean is it still like the 2nd gen or it has got some changes??

Another good and honest review video; kudos to @Strell. BTW I also share similar curiosity about the mirrors on this 2024 model which you were mentioning in the video; do you have got any information on why KTM India isn't offering the ones shown in the international promotional video?

I'm looking forward to your evaluation of the RTR 310 because I'm considering purchasing either the Duke 390 or the RTR 310.

Nice touch of ending on a good note.

The last part was good enough to clarify my thoughts to some extent. I own a gt 650. And my hunger for power and performance is never ending. Right now i was thinking of getting one of this just for that brutal initial acceleration. But for all that time whats going on my head is that will this give me any sheer experience that I didn’t had on my gt? Or else i should save and look for an update?

Gen 1 d390 are still the benchmark. They're mad tbh and if you don't respect her she will make you pay for it. Hardly any gen 1 duke are spotted on road these days. A duke is a duke is a duke it cannot be a civilized machine. Gen 1 was never perfect but the personality it had was something different. The moment i swing the throttle it neve fails me to have a wide grin under my helmet, occasionally it do scares me with some powerslides and powerwheelie. Tbh, the gen 2 never impressed me, and seems like we've the arsenal for some upgrade in the form of these suspension, brakes and lighter wheels. I hope they're upgradable on the gen 1. 😈

Thanks for this review! Very useful. How do you think this bike will be for someone who is a 6 footer?

I want to get new duke 390. Which colour is look better ?

The front wires add up to it's astethic, looks like veins pumping HPs and 100-0 brutal compressive force.

What is the comparison with same previous 390 dukes ride quality in terms low end torque.?

Hi strell, will this engine be updated in adv models

Suggest me bro which one I can buy speed 400 or 3 gen Duke?

Waiting for ur pure sound video of this ❤

Hey strell amazing review. Can you do a review on meteor 350 bs6 phase 2. im confused between meteor, 350rs, 350 hness

I’m little bit confused whether to buy this or Himalayan 450 where my purpose is very simple city rides to office and often highway tourings can you please give me a suggestion on this it can be very helpful for me

waiting for RC & i m gonna buy tht.

Many youtuber said that new duke 390 DRL were also made by soft material. What's ur opinion on that?

Please explain cornering TCS on Duke 390 and apache 310

How is the seat comfort for long distance???

Is the handling of 2024 KTM Duke 390 good for a 5 feet 4 inch rider?

Speed 400 or cb300r which one you would pick?

How is it in low speed, like traffic jam etc speed, U turns etc... How much does it require clutch use in compare to previous gen? It was a bit too much for my liking on previous gen. Thank you. BTW, that gen1 RC design is one of the best sport bike design in motorcycle history IMO.

Bro do they sell this test bike also in cheap price??

Can this duke 390 fit for long run?…. Like the gen 1 and gen 2 are good bikes… but the bike becomes very much old and worn out automatically… even we maintain it well… so what about this gen 3 duke… will it remain very much new as a Honda cb 650r…and other Kawasaki motorcycles?

How is suspension comfort compared to Interceptor?

New D390 2000km long ride ke liye capable hai kya? BTW watching from Mumbai 🙃

what do you think about getting a duke 390 or a new himalayan? please i need a genuine reply

I have been riding a 125 cc bike , can I upgrade to this one or ktm 250?.. im 5.5 and 69 kg

What’s the best cruising speed on this?

is it good for beginner riders,,, im riding 125cc

What about the low end torque ? Is it improved ? Or bike require too much gear shifting at low speed?

Hey Strell, I'm in a dilemma between the new generation Duke 390 and the Ninja 300. Considering the need for a comfortable ride on Indian roads and concerns about engine smoothness, vibrations, and heating, do you think the Ninja 300 is a better choice? I've ridden the second-generation Duke 390 for 3 years and I'm concerned that the Duke's power output might be excessive for day-to-day commuting. I'd love to hear your insights on this!

waiting for Husqvarna 401 with same seat height and ground clearance.. that has soul of Duke and look of a Conti

This bike is complete beast and my favorite colour

I want to buy continental GT in alloys but My friends say it doesn’t looks good in alloys its cafe looks I don’t want spoke wheels in my bike i just can’t handle the fuss IN my area it is too difficult to fix a tube puncture AND i m so fed up of The confusion now i am going to think Lets buy a 390 duke and forget everything because if u buy a RE bike u have to spend 50k around to make a complete bike RE always sells Half bike to customers And half portion u have to buy as an accessory What should i do I like 650 GT but wobbling issues if u choose ALLOY VERSION people say it doe doesn’t looks good if u go for mr clean u have to spend 50k for tyre alloys and other accessories what should i do please reply

if ktm make a budget 390 like adventures x No need quick shifter, cornering abs , rear abs off sensor , traction control, not even that fancy tft screen.. Just pure raw ktm with dual channel abs .. under 3.2l onroad i definitely gonna buy that monster

thank you strell

Please do a review of the 200s aswell.

Bro i am waiting excitedly for your review of the Apache RTR 310... i feel that bike might be easier to live with ... please drop a review for that soon bro

already booked speed 400 ...waiting for delivery ...but now confuse between rtr 310 , duke 390 n speed 400 .. extra tech features are confusing me mostly😬😬😬😬

A Duke 250 gen 3 review would be great

Can you feel the same power aggression like bs3 or it will be more? Like powerfigures gotten bigger.

Does KTM have an exchange program? Can I sell my 2020 model 390 to them? If not, what is the asking price I can quote for it? I've ridden around 15.5k kms and it's in very good condition.

17:02 , most of the countries has certain class of motorcycle license. If you hold less class license, you cannot ride 400CC above vehicle. That’s why bike manufacturers stick to 399, or 199CC , Maybe thats why they don’t want to increase the cc to 450. In singapore , we have class 2B, 2A, and 2 motorcycle licenses are there. 2B for 200CC less, 2A for 200-400 2 for 400CC above.. Need to pass these class to get that particular class license.

@strell bro i need an opinion.. I own a Interceptor 650.. I love it.. Lots of touring and Highway runs.. But i also owned a r15 v3 which i sold 6 months back.. And now i miss it soo much now.. I have booked a duke 390 and willing to purchase it.. I want to try the orange hooligan.. But the doubt is will i enjoy it over int650?

I have the BS4 model Duke 390. It's been 4 years now. I have the BS4 RC 390 too which is now 5 years old. I'm gonna sell them both and buy a CBR 650R 😂

how is the engine refinement compared to Triumph 400? Do you have any insider news about KTM 390 adv with new 400cc engine? Thanks in advance, much love and support!

Can this be a upgrade if you own a dominar 400 ug2 ? As i really like this bike everything seems flawless..

do i really need to get experience before getting the higher cc bikes . i rode duke 250cc few times is that enough or i need more experience than that .

it's the perfect 400 cc naked bike. Hazard lights that doesn't exist on a gen 2 Duke 390 appears on the 2024 is a welcome one. even the new CB500f doesn't have hazard switch. the best 400cc by far.

Hi bro I wanna purchase a bike under 4 lakh but don’t know which one I should buy

Good evening strell bro ❤️🥰

Bro Please review Duke 250 as well

Please recommend a steady motorcycle for a 300km 120kmph to 140kmph highway roundtrip daily economical commute (in my mind RE Hunter 350, Honda CB300R, KTM Duke 390 & Apache RTR 310) all suggestions are welcome

Bro if it possible plz make video about turing review of jawa 42 2.1 obd2

What do you think when compared to speed 400?

Can we get a tire hugger?

I was literally waiting for your review and i am planning to buy this bike and i like your review but honestly this review isn’t helping me much i am much confused after watching your review. Verdict is confusing for me but your videos are always great. It feels like ktm is making good bike but the expectations are too much as per the competition

Strell bro make one review on new duke 250 too.

Bro...Rtr 310 (fully loaded) vs Duke 390 vs speed 400?......or wait for rr 310

My gen 3 is stalling in 6 gear any solution

Amazing video

390 is great it made me want a bigger engine duke like 990 but all the oil pan leaks and reliability issues from the bigger displacement dukes have scared me to another brand like a triumph speed twin or mt 09.

Only an experienced person can find the issue like that sir.........

can we add the seat spacer as an accessory ?

At what numbers does this badboy redline?

Now question is this or interceptor 650? Travelling, just relaxed driving

Triumph or 390??

Hi! What Cruising speed on highway all day ??

When i saw this bike first revealed, i thought KTM produced two different bikes for the two regions. Then i figured that the austrian bike doesnt have that rear mud guard, but the indian one does. This bike looks comes without that rear mud guard. IS it mandatory to show the number plate at the rear end of motor bikes in india?

with a shroud that big, they could have at least put the indicators at its edge.

Rtr 310 review request asapppppppp

What about duke 250 ?

I m confused between CONTINENTAL GT AND DUKE 390 don't know which one should I go for
