Nice one Varun. It certainly looks like a fun bike! I'd only ever bother owning a adventure bike in India. The road here always takes you off-road at some point. Looking forward to a Adventure 390 vs Himalayan showdown.

Scooter is not a great machine in traffic, it's handling is horrible i found . Bikes are little more easier to handle. Fact that make the scooter easy in the traffic is its automatic gearing setup.

[@athulvara]

6:40 I've got no words.. that's so cinematic.. that's just so amazing

[@ジヤンスニヨ]

Actually, proper ADV should have lower end torque ... But in Adv390 we have to rev to high rpm..to get the punch on offroading and the proper offroader shouldn't have alloy rims. I think its for city and highways...

@@powerdriftofficial cheers mate

[@aaassaeer]

So basically its a smaller sister from another mother to the Versys 650, albeit a slightly better one: 1. Offers more fun riding on the highways thanks to that Duke engine 2. Slightly better off-road due to the much lower weight, more ground clearance and suspension travel 3. Better electronics package Definitely a great upgrade for someone coming off a 200 cc motorcycle and looking for primarily a touring motorcycle with some off-road capabilities. Had this been available 3 years ago, would have bought it over the Duke 390 for sure.

[@name.iz.blurryface]

Powerdrift is finally reviewing vehicles instead of showcasing videography skills 👍🙏

[@OT_FootballEdits]

Trust me guys! For Basic touring, all you just need good bhp, abs, slipper clutch, and good seating comfort. This is all available in dominar. That's the reason its vfm. With few mods it can tour very well! Ktm adv390 is all about touring with heavily loaded features like cornering abs, traction control etc, these features plays a bigger role in sports bikes. So are the charges. So think about what you guys are looking for, if its touring or off roading.

[@sudhachaudhary3419]

I own a RE Himalayan and I wasn't looking for an upgrade but now I think I can keep the Himalayan and buy 390 ADV for my long Highway rides🧡🖤

[@sudhachaudhary3419]

@@powerdriftofficial 😂😂😂😂

[@saajanjogia]

Glad to see an honest review. Was always of the opinion that it won't be a good off roader because the gearing is the same as the D390. Looked more like an on road tourer and it really is.

[@swarnamverma7808]

Coming in on a corner and locking the rear has become a trademark in adv tourer reviews , and I'm dying to try it even on an Ntorq.

Well, I have a streetbike - but sometimes I would like to go on small gravel roads and even in the forest trails, slowly, silent and a little faster than walking... Not like in a competition and no show-off, so this might be something. Light, not too expensive to crash like the streetbike is...

[@rohitbhagat1454]

I really believe now we are pushing it. Obviously as extras the like spoke wheels and adjustable suspension should be made available but for a bike at 3 lakhs ex showroom , it's a bang for the buck. The traction problem you talked about really seems stupid, but I guess the company can fix it. Over all , the bike is probably the best tourer one can buy at this price , and it does seem capable enough for occasion off-road . Great video btw , kuddos. ♥️
