Best motorcycle channel on youtube *period* It's amazing how much effort you put into coming up with unique and worthwhile content and don't even bother to monetize it. Bravo my dudes!

Guys, live these kinds of videos. Anything with the funny interaction feel like the bbb series is always going to be a winner

Please get your own TV show! The new Top Gear for bikes!

What the! I've seen the test video when it came out - but KZfaq never had this additional video shown for some reason; now I'm laid up nursing crash injuries, it seems there might be a wealth of 44Teeth content I have missed over the years!!! Time for some happy watching 😊

Great genuine review guys. Really enjoyed this. I nearly bought a KTM Duke some years ago in preparation for my full bike licence, the itch for one is still there, more so after watching this video! Thank you

Fantastic high quality content as usual, every time a video comes out it never fails to amaze. Really can't say enough, the best is to echo what others have said: for sure one of the best (if not the absolute best) motorcycle channel on YT. ❤❤

Ah nice, was wondering if you'd review them after the Mod1 video. Amazing video as always! I feel like reviewing A2 bikes could make a great series (CB300, Ninja 400, G310R or even some of the restricted ones like the SV650 or the MT07)

Another great review and content lads. Cheers

Bikes now across all the Rangers have come so far. The KTM seems to do everything well. You could have a real hoot on either of these little ripper. Good show again lads.

Great review guys 👍👍

Top quality entertainment and fantastic bike reviews! Loving 44 teeth! 😁

I work at a Dealership that sells both of these, I Hoon around on them a little too much 🤷🏽‍♂️

I love my little Duke 390. I've literally crossed the country on it four times since getting it in December. Wicked little machine.

This video is a godsend, couldn't choose between the two. Defo now going with the Duke for my first big bike

Awesome review chaps! saw you blast past the Copthorne hotel next time your in sussex let me know!

From India, was considering a purchase between the two. Thanks for your inputs. Coming from the pros, always a delight. I personally would be going with the r3.

One of these with the Ninja 400 and the MT-03 would be fantastic, keep up the great work guys :)

44 teeth best UK biking content out there good job laddddssss

Those Dukes are super super nice in any capacity 👌

Another awesome video

I race a Yamaha R3 in the British Junior Supersport and I have also raced the RC 390 in the KTM cup but I found the Yamaha handling was better, however lacks on speed and mid range punch. Not sure how similar RC is to the duke other than the handlebars and fairing, but I would have an R3 over KTM.

Another great review,. You two are class, why are you not on main stream TV?

Great review..... I love my 2017 Duke 390.... best little A2 bike for the city.... chuck an Arrow slip on without the spark arrestor and it sounds meaty and gurgly ....... and the cracks and pops are a treat.

Double bloody review 👍😄

I live in Japan now and bought my first motorbike last year. I was considering getting the KTM but the reliability issue is what killed it for me, I got the R3 instead. Everyone I know here who has owned a KTM Duke or RC390 has told me about its issues and here in Japan there aren't many shops that can service KTM bikes leading to higher upkeep costs and general pain in the ass. My R3 is an excellent commuting bike and fun on those day trips on the weekends, not to mention its rock solid reliability. And yes, the R3 is a stepping stone to something bigger like a R6 or ZX-6R but I feel like I'll definitely keep it around as my daily commute.

The r3 is a lot of fun at the track. But it's badly in need of suspension and tire upgrades, especially for riders over 120 lbs. And once you take off the fender and replace the blinkers, mirrors, and windscreen, the r3 really does look great. The used market is so good for these bikes. Sure the Kawi 400 is a better bike, but you can't find one a couple years old for under $3k.

R3 is starting to show it's age. Wouldn't be surprised to see Yamaha update it this year!

I completely agree with you two again

Since you are comparing with the duke, why not yamaha mt-03? pairs should be duke - mt03 and rc - r3

You should consider doing a series on the old 400 4 cylinders as they are a2 compliant and are in general cheaper than the newer a2 bikes and with far better components and parts.

I have a 2020 390 Duke and I love it. I got it second hand from an old guy, 2 years old and only 1,200 km on the clock. Basically brand new and I got an amazing deal on it. The previous owner had core drilled the baffle out of the exhaust and it sounds way meatier than standard without being unbearably loud. It sounds kinda like a dirt bike. I love it. I have been shopping for my next bike, maybe a 790 Duke, but every time I ride the 390 (which is almost every day because I commute on it) then I realise that I don't need a new bike, this thing is frickn awesome and I love it.

For my A2 bike I thought a little outside the box and bought a 1979 cb400... Would be fantastic to see a side by side comparison between these newer A2 specific bikes and older bikes that just so happen to be slow

Nice view of 2 behinds in opening credits

Cool. I definetely agree on the Naked vs. racer argument, but then so has the entire industy and community, hasn't it really? Would love to see a serious comparo test, of how the Duke does alongside the Scrambler 62 and the G310R :)

Hey I thought I recognised those roads! Awesome video.

The r3, with a few mods, seems like a very good first trackday bike for building skills and learning how to keep your momentum up. As well as a bike to keep around to refresh one on the fundamentals. Also, on a really technical track, I bet it would be a blast!

Great job from the 44 teeth chaps as usual.

This channel and smooth jazz music lmao yall kill me.

Would be nice to see the 390 vs the MT03 for A2 upright bikes

God I love that music in the intro!!!

Please get a 790 Duke vid up! You boys will love it :D

3.40 I always have time for a bit of 'Razzle Dazzle'! I borrowed a 390 Duke while my 690R was having some recall work and was amazed at how good it was.

That intro.. spectacular. Makes me want to immediately purchase a saxophone.. and a KTM

Top Gear for bikes...I feel like you would need a 3rd person....I’d just like to formally put myself forward for that position haha seriously though ;)

Good comparison, would be interesting to see how the Ninja 400 would be against these two

Glad to hear Chris positive about a small bike :)

I missed out on the whole small capacity bike thing in doing a direct access and going straight to a cbr600, took it in for a service the other day and had a loan cb500x for the day. Had an absolute blast going everywhere full gas and being so light, definitely made me reconsider my choices for my next bike.

Just sold my 390 for street triple , I'm missing it ☹️ was more on the road , great works chaps by the way 😘

i love my r3 and i daily ride it and i got alot of mods for it already which makes it look so much better im keeping mines for longevity i have it 1yr and 3 months and 11k miles already and dont plan on getting rid of it anytime soon

You seriously need to get your arses over here to Ireland for the craic. Awesome roads up the mountains, and being an instructor at Mondello Park, I'm sure we can arrange a couple of laps for ya there too! ;)

Where have you guys been?

What you don't consider is the long trip capability. In the USA we have many high speed tarmac, and R3 gives you wind protection. Also it hold to sport saddlebags in the rear, a tank bag, and for long trips a top bag in the rear. I agree with the short comings, and I found an aftermarket seat was absolutely necessary for a 400 mile one day trip. Metzeler Sportec M7RR 110/70 front but a wider 150/60 rear tyre makes a serious difference in all aspects of the bike.

The R3 is probably called the R3 because there is a race series for them. I agree it's a shadow of the R1 & R6, but the R3 and R150 (available is Asia) both have their own championship.

I own a 2017 Duke 390. Fantastic bike. Lots of fun to ride.

Great Banter as always.

Guys do i get Two Stickers for the price or are they priced for a single sticker? i was going to order but dont fancy spending £10 on one sticker if that is the case many thanks

It’d be cool to see some of the restricted options compared, I’m on a monster 797 restricted for A2 and I’d love to see that against an MT07 etc

Quality , little bikes are taking over ✌🏻

Love it!

You mention that the R3 is a crossplane, I thought it was only a 180 degree. Or am I wrong? Because I would like to hear a small cc parallel twin crossplane.

Atlast I found some genuine reviewers😌

“Small cc bikes are so brilliant!!!”... yet none of these reviewers own one 🤔 Filming ends and they get back on their 1000cc+ daily riders 👀

how come people dislike this vid? brilliant stuff guys

No nonsense bike reviews with Jason and Sue 👌🏻smashing the pasty out of the KZfaq scene as always boys.

Can you turn off abs on the r3 like the duke 390???

I can't argue with their points but I still want an R3...I kinda want the mock sports bike because I want to do track days and i already have an upright bike. A 2017 Triumph T120. I feel like getting a 390 is too samey because it's the same style body position wise as my Triumph

Trying to figure out my first bike..tossing up between mt07, cb500f or 390 duke.. Any suggestions fellas?

i would like to see you guys try the cb500f if you guys ever do an a2 license comparison

Top speed of both? Price?

Those Dukes were selling for £3k not too long ago, was sooooo tempted

I ride a 2006 zx6r, thinking of going to a 390 Duke, a few reasons including easier maintainence, the price of fuel but mostly comfort of being more upright.

I am looking at getting a 390 duke for my commuter, would you recommend one?

U British people are pure class. Great job 44teeth, subscriber here.

How different is the Vitpilen 401 to that duke?

Ninja 300 or the 390 duke? Which one to go for?

what would be cool is a A2 naked shootout between the 390 duke and the honda cb500F as thats on the limit for the A2 restriction

I'm curious how tall the rider on the 390 duke.. I sit on the duke tippy toe at 5'10 .. is the bike lowered ?

I am going to be doing my A2 soon and the bike that I would really like to get is the Kawasaki z300, the looks and coming off a 125 with 9 bhp the power of the z300 will be enough for me for 2-3 years maybe more

Hi Guys, I have a question for Chris. I know that you are a tall rider, would the KTM fit a 6ft 4" male, and is the 390 frame the same size as the 125cc?. Keep up the good work guy's.

I'd like to see something like these bikes compared against an older bike like a MC22 cbr250rr from the early 90's... The MC22's were awesome bikes if you're wanting a sportsbike to learn on... I genuinely miss mine despite owning and riding much bigger, better, bikes.

How come you never mention the CBR500R for an A2 bike? Just curious as I have one :)

I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BUDGET BIKE 🏍 BATTLE 🏍💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨

12th been such a long time ago, maybe I should try a little bike again?

Proud to own one! It’s a joy up in twisties andin city pure fun!

wait doesn't the british duke get adjustable forks?

When are you getting your hands on 2024 390 Duke? It comes with Apex suspension and removes one of the two bottlenecks of suspension and brakes. Cheers!

Longevity of the KTM? It seems they had some really problems with the 390 engine.

So when are you guys going to ride to Morocco on them two then ?

The dash on the KTM is just as sexy as the old Aprilia Mille ones.

Junior Jizz-Machine stickers for the KTM Baron?

what boots are you wearing? I love the orange

Is that David Walliams on the Duke?

Take a look at the Honda CBR500 please ! a review on one of those would be ideal - top end engines on an A2 license

I keep remembering Fast Bikes videos from the 90s.... Stoppies are ok for the motorcycle.... I'll find the video of The Trip to the South of F one day :)

Baron has been matching his bikes to his boots of late, or is it the other way around. Orange for the Duke 390, green for the ZX7R. Think it influences his opinion ;-P

Please compare KTM RC 390 and Yamaha R3

Brand New Budget Bike Challenge!

I agree the Duke is the winner here. So much so that it's the reason I bought one to use as my commuter bike instead of piling the miles on my tuono factory. Lovely little bike

That 390 looks like a right hoot - not sure what the point in a racebike look on a 300 is really, but variety is the spice and all that I guess.

KTM 390 Duke v Kawasaki Ninja 400? (I won't be doing races or track days)
