Sadly my time with the 2017 KTM 390 Duke is drawing to a close. When I initially reviewed the bike I described it as a "naked funster" and could find little not to like, however what are my conclusions having lived with the bike for a few weeks? In this video I look at the things you wouldn't necessarily discover if you only had a brief test ride and actively try to find things to hate about the bike, stay tuned to find out what I discovered!

The loud fan is a result of KTM giving the fan cover a shroud to direct the hot air downwards and away from the rider. The initial design did not have the shroud or the accompanying sound and offered better heat dissipation but it cooked your nether regions. I've experienced both fans on my RC 390.

I love these longer review videos, these quickly put together 5 minute videos that tell you barely anything about the bike except the stats that anyone can look up and finish it off with "yeah it's a good bike, thanks for watching" you always go into great depth with these reviews and point out things I think I could safely say no other reviewers do. Great stuff as always sir!

I own a 2018 Duke 390 and love it. I have had 161 bikes and this is one of my favorite. Small but very capable. I installed a bunch of performance parts, but quickly went back to stock. Stock performance is very good, and reliable.

I have owned my duke 2018 since new. I've had many bikes in my life since I've been riding from the 1980s. This is by far the funnest most economical motorcycle I have ever had. I really appreciate your thoughts and they mirror my own and I am so glad you didn't keep repeating or even stating it's a great starter bike, it's a girls bike, it's a learner bike. When I hear that I just cringe. You'll die just the same on any bike. So thank you for not saying that.

Never stop doing these reviews mate! Very comprehensive and to the point. I get weary of the usual first ride reviews from popular journalists. Usually very biased or not adequate. It’s the kind of complete review you do that everyone looking at buying these bikes needs. Thanks from the USA!

I may be changing work locations so one of these would be perfect for the 30 mile round journey each day. This review has been very helpful.
