99% of the buyers won't ever get their ass off the seat while riding. LOL

I'm glad I didn't see this before my Ibex 450 arrived today! 😛

Well, we now have the preview of your first video after you take delivery. Just add a few powerlines overhead and you are good to go.

Nicely done Frank!

Videos like this are fun to watch. I see this, and think, Wow! BUT, but, but, but…. I don’t watch this video and think about how great the vine is, I think about how great the rider is. I think this same rider could do this same stuff on an awful lot of motorcycles. The rider is super impressive!! Honestly, I want to see an average rider, do average things on the bike. Take it 200 miles on pavement, then 200 miles off pavement, with some technical parts here and there. How easy is it for the average, 50 year old, with just a few years experience, to load up, and go motocamping for several days on a BDR, or something similar? Just my thoughts….

Even with out this video, I had already decided to buy tue adventure R 2025.!!🔥🔥🔥

Intitiallly I was hoping to get R. Later after a research I understood that R is more off road focused ie, it won't be good in road. S will be an ideal choice. It work best in both world. R is more expensive, doesn't mean its the best. Any KTM R ownere here? Please share your thougts. And Frank, its a mind-blowing cinematography! I dont know how many times I watched! Great music, cinematography, cool rider, and the story line. I liked it.

Nope. Not buying it. The video for the ADV is more extreme than for the Enduro…. And both of them are make believe based on a Duke and a budget price. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. ….. but I’d be happy if I was wrong, my current ‘23 KTM 1290R is insanely good.

Im going to the Black hills ride on adv fest this year. I hope they have a tester. I would love to try it.

I called the dealer already😂

Frank !!!! - This guy is Super Talented and you can tell - He has raced Motocross for sure - Way beyond an experienced off road rider..... When I was 18, 19... maybe... kinda...??? - At '63 - Oh Hell no !!!!

Definitely, a good looking and capable bike. But I think that you can put that rider on ANY bike, and that film crew, and they'll make it look cool 🙂 (Not that this bike isn't!) Regards from Melbourne Australia!

By the time we can buy one they will be over $7,000 dollars

You look like a kid before Christmas!!!!😁

Would definitely like to test ride one

I plan to ride the bike as depicted in the video. I sold my 890 Rally this past summer. I rode it everywhere with small bikes around me. Then one day realized I was tired and why was I working so hard. Yes it was time to reflect on my age (62) and my fitness level. I wasn't at A game level. Time for a smaller bike. Thankful I didn't purchase anything else yet. I want a 100lbs lighter 890. This looks like it is going to be a winner. Backhoe scene makes sense to those of us without a lot of riding area. We tend to make our own paths when we need to. Deposit is in. Waiting to see what accessories become available. Skid plate on the video looks like its an add on.

I don't get it. The KTM video has no connection whatsoever to how 99% of 390A owners will actually ride. The way you were pottering through the mud puddles in your last video is how most of us use our 390A's - that and as road bikes (sealed and otherwise). If the new 390 is good at jumps and log hopping it probably will be tall and stiffly sprung and not so good at exploring back roads

looking at dropping deposits with my son(s) ...\;]

I have a serious valve issue on my 390. When I go get it fixed, I'm gonna prolly see the new R on the showroom floor. Will I get it???? S

Here in India they released a slightly different spec 390 adv, instead of R, we get 390 adv S version. difference is 17/21 wheel size instead of 18/21, slightly reduced suspension travel and ground clearance but not significant because of the wheel size . 835mm seat height instead of 870mm. also it's tubeless spoke wheels similar to that of 890Advs and rest are same, and X is same as international variant but will be available here along with the S variant because it's manufactured here. KTM said R will be launched here too but only later in the year

I only watched a few seconds, and you're right, cool video.

One BIG thing that I think needed to be noted that no one is talking about, (this is per the dealer near me) how the bike is shown with handguards and that skid plate is how it comes for that price, also the engine sits about 4 inches higher in the frame than the duke 390. This is a banger of a deal and personally put down a deposit for when they come in.

Look at the road and see if its hail. Lol you dangerous😂😂😂😂😂😂

Knowing when to turn back is extremely important. The 390 is a rockstar on that sort of terrain. Stay upright :-)

Hey mate, I have the Sierra saddlebags, but I'm really looking into the Hurricane, as I like having my stove fuel bottle out of the bag, and perhaps some emergency water on the other side of the bags. But mostly because I too like new shiny things 🙂 Regards from Melbourne Australia !

2025 390 adventure R $6999 wtf . I'm sold. Also they come stock with these tires I believe.

Now that we see that the 390 Adventure R is going to cost a little more than the Enduro, the Enduro seems like maybe the better "adventure" bike. You get a 21" wheel, spoked wheels, less weight, and less cost.

I would like to see the BMW 450 and how it would be. Yes I am a bit partial to KTM but new bikes, no matter what they are or make brand new bikes first editions will have problems that need to be worked out.

2:50 Whoa! Good ride sir! Just a little muddy ;)

But did they have a bulb?

Man that looks like a fyn ride, nice open space also

Looks like a pretty cool place to ride!!!

I don't get why you're complaining... The road is great, it's a scenic route, of course there's gonna be tourist and not a 100mph speed limit. The low speed limit means you get to enjoy the view! Also, YOU WERE A TOURIST... So why you bitching about the cars, they have the right to be there also and enjoy the view. I hate people doing scenic rides on a motorcycle and complaining about low speed or the fact the route has tourists on it... That's also the reason you're there man (and probably that the cars are saying "not another motorcycle that wants to go 120 in a 45 zone)... Come on

Another powerline ride. These roads (stream beds) always look challenging. I'd be surprised if any tire made it easy. Thanks for the video Frank.

So were you happy with them or feel critical?

Good job Frank!!!!! those muddy ruts are no joke!!!💪

I think me and another guy were trying to go to crazy horse

Since when has KT M made a 690 adventure? I thought it was an enduro.

Wait till Fb mondial release the Mud 452.

Dude created a short just to tell us he was buying a bulb😂 ! I love it

Bla bla bla.

Man I know that moment so well , Its amazing how you feel like you've won something if you get to your destination without having to stop & put your gear on haha, like its some kind of defeat if we pull over for 3 minutes to change haha

Thanks for the excellent review!

FRANK !!! - Good looking bike - and totally surprised about the price !!! - The weight too... Right in line with the DR 650 actually... Good video - Honest & informative !!!

The storm I saw out there was fantastic to watch!!

Como bien dices a pesar de llevar el conjunto de escape por debajo fijaros en un detalle importante, la altura libre al suelo Ktm 390 enduro R es de 272mm y por tomar modelos de referencia Yamaha Ténéré 700 World Raid 250mm . Ducati desert 280mm, Aprilia tuareg 240mm , ktm 890 -263mm , Honda Africa twin 220mm etc..... pareciendo motos mas grandes tienen menos distancia libre al suelo. un saludo

I have 5000 hard miles on my 390 adv, for a vet rider its mid performance motorcycle. Needs suspension upgrades and definitely low on power. If you want an off road bike get a 250 two stroke.
