Great review but it’s a pity you didn’t reach the power band. There’s not much difference between the performance of the 390 Duke and the MT 03 when latter is ridden in anger, I’ve owned both. The main difference is that the Yamaha will get you home again.

[@rafeeq37769]

Which is better ?

[@user-rf9me7xm1w]

@@rafeeq37769 It’s very difficult to give a finite answer, after all, one is a single cylinder and one is a twin. If you prefer a characteristic vibe of a perky bike then the Duke fits that bill. If it’s a smoother performer you require than it’s the Yamaha. They’re both brilliant bikes but in my humble opinion, it’s the Yamaha that I’d choose again mainly because of the lower seat height and 100% reliability. The Duke had a few niggles which resulted in a few days back at the dealers, mainly oil leaks.

[@lostpockets2227]

the KTM is built to fail. the airbox sits underneath the seat and is compressed every time you sit on the bike. the bolts are cheap. the head gasket interferes with cooling, the cooling fan is constantly on. you need to reroute and upgrade practically everything to make the KTM reliable. awesome paint job tho

[@user-rf9me7xm1w]

@@lostpockets2227 It’s a pity really as the KTM is a fun bike to ride. You’re spot on about the cooling though.

It's 321 cc

[@broncosgjn]

"You are not going to be doing any freeway riding or long trips on this bike." Why not? It will cruise at 130kph all day. Its absolutely fine on the highway. 110 kph is a doddle for this bike. It's not viby. There is no reason why not.

[@Brookmanrider]

Definitely can just not as comfortable as others

[@broncosgjn]

@@Brookmanrider that is a reasonable point for long distances. I hated my Tracer 900 as a touring bike. Noise level from the air box, fidgety throttle meaning the bike jumped all over the speedo dial with any road imperfections. Sold it.

There's an MT 15. Also the MT125 I think is the smallest of the MT series.

What?

[@natruljames1056]

I'm barley getting into bikes. Would this be a good beginner bike for someone who's barley started riding?

[@Brookmanrider]

Yes definitely

[@user-rf9me7xm1w]

It’s a brilliant beginners bike, low seat height, very light, enough power to leave most cars behind, fantastic fuel economy and it’s extremely forgiving. I can’t think of any other bike I’d rather own for everyday street riding.

[@robertperciballi3357]

I was thinking the same thing ... if I was gonna get into bikes this would be my first Bike to begin on

Wheat bikes like these, you’re gonna grain a lot of key rye-ding skills that will serve you well later on.

Would you recommend the MT-03 or KTM Duke 390 as a beginner bike? Which one rides better

Duke definitely

I'm 6ft and can ride comfortably for a couple of hours on my 03. The design means you really feel like part of the bike. It would be more comfortable if it was a little bigger. That said, it's perfect for me to commute 30min daily, and short trips out of town. Your extra 3 inches may make you feel a bit cramped though

[@stephenoreilly]

Excellent review of the MT-03. You did ask for some comments at the end of your review - thank you for the video. With great respect I have three (3) comments to make. First one: the bike is a 321 cc and not a 370 cc as you mentioned at the start of the video. Second one: A lot of followers watch your videos - don't forget to indicate left before you pull over at the kerb to do a look around the bike. Third observation: on two occasions in your video (when other motorists were holding you up) you took the Lord's name in vain. Let me ask you: would you use your mother's name as a curse word/swear word. I think you would answer no to that question. Please refrain from using the Lord's name as a swear/curse word.
