The much anticipated 2017 KTM Duke 390 is here in an all new avatar and it is ready to take your breath away. It has a ton of goodies packed into this blazing orange package - the all-digital TFT console, ABS, an LED headlight, 320 mm disc brakes, a ride by wire system, wider foot pegs and a sharper, leaner design.
How does the Duke 390 compare to its own sibling - the all new Duke 250? And will it leave all of its competitors, especially the Dominar 400 far behind? Watch my review video to find out.

Hey, Before I start sayin somefin ill jus give my little intro, I am a biker from City Called Vancouver on the West Coast of Canada. I dont have a youtube channel so that means I dont make vlogs. I own a KTM Super Duke R (2016), Which is my second bike after MV Agusta Brutale Dragster 2013. I was born in India State called Punjab. My father immigrated to Canada in 1999 when I was 9. I follow some Bike Vloggers from Canada, US & UK. I am watching quite a videos from Indian vloggers from past few weeks because I am planning a trip to Leh Ladhak in the Himalayas. My point is after going through couple a youtubers I want to appreciate your channel the way you speak in those vlogs and demonstrate everyday life in india to people who are sitting outside like me n giv'em a glimpse of ur life through the lens. Hope ur channel will grow everyday. Loads more to come right? Am I the first North American Subscriber lol. Cheers Mate! liked, subscribed, commented. :)

It's great to get feedback from the other part of the world. I have maybe a handful of North American subscribers but I think you're the first one to write in with such detail. Thanks for your wishes - I sure hope to grow the channel and get more subscribers from all over the world. Lastly, good luck with the Leh-Ladakh trip - pretty sure it's going to be awesome :)

It's hard for me to focus on the bike itself, as I'm watching the insane traffic and lane-splitting you have to do to just ride through the city. I don't mean that in a negative way, I'm seriously impressed. I can see why having nimble bike would be so important there. I'm in the United States and I'm looking at "downsizing" from my BMW G650GS to a Duke 390 hopefully this spring...great video, thanks!

Honestly it's like iam riding wid u in ur videos just twisting along wid around curves😂😂. Bro I am a delhite and I never owned a ktm ... it's just that I am confused 🤷‍♀️ which one to buy ....the duke 200 or duke 250. Can u plz suggest me which one to buy , currently I have a passion 🤣

@TheSavantLife 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks man - loved the great feedback. You hit all of the points that I keep in mind when I'm making these videos. As for which KTM might be best suited to you - I'd say go with the Duke250 if this is your first bike. It's a really great offering from KTM, especially for those who have never owned a baby Duke before. Watch my Duke 250 video if you haven't already as it might help in making up your mind.

@saurabhrana1270 7 жыл бұрын

I think the Duke 390 would offer a more comfortable riding position as it is slightly more upright whereas GT is a bit more stooped down which might get a bit uncomfortable.

Dhiraj Kothari i have a gt ,for city use i think duke is better but 390 is not for city CGT is not that uncomfortable as it look with rear set footpegs ,and on gt you get that classic feel with vinatge look just crusing around the sweet sound of engine. Ktm is more of zipping through the traffic and going on highspeed runs

@ishaan110394 7 жыл бұрын

As someone who recently got into biking and subscribes to a lot of indian motovloggers, here are my opinions (please don't take them in the wrong way): fake accent or not, you definitely benefit from a better grasp of the english language than most which means your videos are easier to understand and your metaphors are as whacky as they come ;) the only thing that has always held me back from subscribing is your riding style; you grab the clutch way too much like nearly zero throttle modulation and when you shift you take so long the revs drop too low by the time you disengage the clutch and you're in the next gear. This makes it very difficult to take you seriously since at the end of the day this is a channel on bikes and it's not just that you have a different riding style or some nonsense like that it's just wrong. I am sorry if it sounds rude but if you look past the apparent tone trust me you will unlock a whole new level in terms of riding by just spending 2 weeks practicing the correct riding techniques. Cheers and goodluck!

@TheSavantLife 7 жыл бұрын

Firstly - thank you for writing so sensibly - many people just rant and rave. So, here's my side on this - I was brought up at a time when you just couldn't do the quick shifting with bikes - you had to shift conservatively to preserve you clutch plates and to ensure the sanity of the bike. So it's a style that is conditioned in me - I can do the quick shifts if needed but I choose not to most of the time. I think quick shifts are ideal for the race track or in countries with broad, wide roads where people follow lane discipline. In India, riding like that on an explosive bike (like a KTM) means if anyone shifts lanes, or a pedestrian jumps the divider to cross at the wrong moment or someone comes charging at you in the wrong way - you are a GONER. There is a reason you see so many KTMs crash and burn in India - our roads and traffic etiquette isn't ideal for that style. Having said that, I can definitely shift a lot quicker, which I shall do especially when I'm making review videos. Cheers!

@adityanireesh 7 жыл бұрын

The Savant Life bro forget clutch, you're also putting stress on the sprocket and chain by accelerating like that lol

@bharathelangovel2260 6 жыл бұрын

The Savant Life I'm not so sure if that style actually "conserves" the clutch. By repeatedly disengaging and engaging the clutch, you're wearing out the throught bearing and spring. Also, this abrupt engagement and transfer of torque actually consumes the clutch a lot more than just being conservative with the throttle.

To be honest,it was a first hand riding experience for the viewers too.This should be treated as the perfect example of a motor vehicle review unlike other videos where they detail things standing by its side.You are showing us the throttle response,how easy it is to cut the traffic like the maneuvering capability,how hard your ass hits when you go through bumps, engine heating,how efficient is the braking when a cow tries to stop you.To top it all you have a good accent I must say that is letting every viewer understand your intentions.You did a risky job explaining while driving and that too through that sick traffic and cow wandering streets.Bravo man...keep up the great work..This is the best review video I have seen after powerdrifts MV Augusta one. Be safe and ride safe.All the best and off course I have subscribed

Thanks for such detailed and positive feedback. My intention is to give the viewers an immersive feel so that they feel like they're riding the bike themselves.

And is the myth abt being able to lower the bike by 1 inch and not affecting performance true?

Shorter riders might find it a little difficult unless they are really experienced with bikes. I haven't ever altered the suspension so I wouldn't really be able to comment on how much that would help or if it would affect the performance of the bike.

If your daily commute is less than 35 kms - yes A lot of bikes are going to be small for you but this one should be ok as it has an elevated seat You can start off with something smaller like a Duke200 or 250 but you can go with this too, especially if you like it

Can you lower this bike? (i.e suspension, seat, whatever) i've seen it done on older models, not sure if the year of the model would make any difference in whether you could or not.

The year of the model would make a difference for sure about the lowering the suspension and the seat. I'm not entirely sure if it's possible on this bike considering they changed the frame on this one.

Nice review bro, really liked the way how you mentioned abut the mirrors too. very few people give that much attention to smaller details. And also i noticed your gearshifts what was your purpose for shifting that way?

Thanks bud - like they say the devil is in the details. As for the gear shifts, that's how I was taught to ride back in the day 🤘

Does the exhaust have a removable db-killer?

okay i have a doubt at 2:30 the bike downshifts pretty slowly ? how's that possible? i mean it takes longer to slow down if we are not braking ? is it something like cruise control or what?

Ha ha - no that's more my riding style. Even though it isn't the popular way of riding, that's how I prefer to do it.

bro, great coverage. i could sense, you have got a more restrained way to put things.. compared to your earlier offerings. with more power comes, more sensibility??

Ha ha - that's good observation. With more power you get more trolls for sure, so you try to be a little more refined and subtle because like they say "Half of India doesn't get electricity or sarcasm" 😉
