[@SarvanDhadhich]

The new one will have 398 not 373

[@ChandlerMurielBing]

This is what I was thinking ADV and Duke have different engines currently.

[@musguelha14]

Yeah, literally says it on the engine case.

[@terrarecon]

I actually saw somewhere it was 399, but what is 1cc difference right.

[@onesimpleclik]

The styling on that 390 Adventure R is cracking! Such a great looking bike.

[@ETSSNIPER]

I love how many small bikes are coming out lately, and they are all to a high standard

[@ВиталийАфанасьев-ш8б]

Cruise, Bob! Cruise! On 390cc! Doesn't this deserve 5-stars in "Features" department for you?

[@sethmoreadith6619]

Almost perfect, for me it really missed the mark on the low slung exhaust. Water crossings would be nerve racking, hopefully aftermarket companies make high slung exhaust options.

[@TROXXOS]

how often do you cross river deeper then the exhaust?

[@cmpmendes]

​@@TROXXOSregardless of it happening or not, an underslung exhaust is a sport bike thing. Anything that has any kind of off road aspiration should have a high side exhaust.

[@TROXXOS]

@@cmpmendes yeah real offroad focused bikes have high exhaust but this bike has road bike engine and exhaust pipe goes under the engine. I understand some people prefer the look of high exhaust but low exhaust actually makes sense in functional aspect I think.

[@musguelha14]

They're going to. In fact, the 390 Enduro has a higher can.

[@RStantun]

Quite a few river crossings and puddles in Cumbria deeper than that exhaust outlet​@@TROXXOS

[@gerhardreinecke3945]

4 stars on styling for me, the new front and low exhaust improves the styling drastically compared to previous KTM's.

[@1luckyb802]

Cruise control in this segment of bikes is huge. I feel like manufacturers and riders alike would benefit if adding this feature became more commonplace.

[@joshdoddadbod]

Yea man. I might lean to this bike just for that. Throttle wrist is real on long trips.

[@TT-ch2pz]

Agreed! I like the new look with the flat windshield.

[@scottm.456]

I'm really surprised all these journalists are still reporting this bike to have a 373cc engine when you can see right on the cylinder barrel in this video that it's been bumped up to 398 cc. I realize KTM hasn't released the specs but come on open your eyes guys.

[@joshdoddadbod]

They also spew the HP and torque from the prev motor totally different on this one

[@adr2567]

Gotta take your ratings and have a good laugh honestly. What does it need to get 5 starts? Performance is close to what an A2 allows, its the most feature loaded in this category and it looks hardcore! What you want, which is not going to happen, is a 100hp bike with brembo/pirelli type components, sub 160kg and ducati styling at the price of a chinese bike!

[@jobyEN]

I think I'll wait for the 490 Adventure R, thanks!

[@rahulkeisam7856]

I dont recall ktm having any. 490 lineups

[@joshdoddadbod]

They scrapped that years ago

[@DouglasRosser]

As a current 390 Adv owner, this one is much better looking. But mine is still putting a smile on my face every time I ride it so I won't be taking the wallet-smackdown to upgrade.

[@Julia-o7m6s]

Your videos are always admirable and inspiring. Keep it up!🤑🤘✨

[@abymathew295]

I think it also has a Cruise control feature.

[@andyyougoonie]

Ktm listening to us 390 folks finally. Just scared the supermoto just killed off the duke

[@toppojaiwant]

Between this and CF Moto 450 MT. I'd go for the latter.

[@jamescummings4130]

The weight is what I'm desperately wanting to know

[@PM-xm5ew]

Any idea if the 390 Adv R and Enduro have composite subframes? Im hoping they are aluminium.

[@alexjson]

Cheers! Did KTM happen to say when they're releasing the full specs of the bike and the bike itself?

[@joshdoddadbod]

Word is spring next year (2025)

[@davidk5937]

The Supermoto looks so good!

[@edwardtodd2833]

That looks great

[@Maria-t4w1f]

Your videos are always full of creativity and style. Thank you for your skill!👿🏠🌮

[@chekhurra]

The headlight looks a little odd. The current 390 adventure looks so cool from the front.

[@Dante_S550_Turbo]

curious how much they changed form the 390 adventure. it had really bad peg positioning tilting your feet and body forward.

[@ADVRaiderKTM]

Why is no one talking about the exhaust?

[@GCSTRADE09]

After seeing this im going to turn my current 390 adv into a supermoto style bike and get this as a proper off road vehicle

[@RealHooksy]

It looks pretty off-roady to me Bob. Get an exc if you want to ride single trail. I recon it will do everything else. As long as it’s not too expensive it’ll probably sell well👍

[@volkan254]

Mitas E07+

[@user-rm7eq7ju7c]

weight of bike?

[@tripmystic7742]

Is it tubeless tires?

[@MM-xr6tz]

Weights Bob???

[@ReQuiem_2099]

That's an awfully personal question. Real Bobs weigh whatever they weigh!

[@Ibrahim-ls2qk]

Why is the exhaust down low?

[@NecuZvakuHocuKusur]

how much does this pleasure cost?

[@ianross225]

A revelation is the pack of dustbin-like silencer! Nothing to burn you or your luggage.

[@TyB_23]

How big is the Fuel tank capacity ?

[@joshdoddadbod]

No real numbers but likely about 17L

[@janmolent9438]

Looking perfect . Exactly what we all been waiting for . Now Honda take engine from CB500 and build proper adventure bike under 185/190kg

[@mickaelchretien4246]

Wright and seat high ?

[@ahumblerequest5222]

Can you do a video on the enduro version

[@gripshaft]

Looks too heavy, wonder if the enduro version will shed some kgs? DRZ4S coming in at 150kgs is the new target to beat (still too heavy though)

[@trailrunnermike]

Endro looks like a scaled down 690 Endro R

[@jimtitt3571]

It's right on the power/weight ratio allowed for A2, the Suzuki has less power so can be lighter.

[@ljubott]

Great 😉👍👍

[@toddclarke2348]

The exhaust is way low? Forget river crossings......Apart from that the bike looks phenomenal.

[@joshdoddadbod]

Won't affect river crossings. That's a myth.

[@zaphodbeeblebrox4574]

Don't forget to cover Moto Guzzi ! I'm interested in the new V7 Sport. 😊

[@joshdoddadbod]

It has a whole new engine with different stats than are provided in this video.

[@rezeerhonor2792]

7000 is as far as it could go, taking in consideration the price and specs of the 450 mt

[@hellslayer9638]

It looks like mini 1290 adventure R ❤

[@jonasbaine3538]

Yes and will outperform a 1290 on some trails due to less weight but similar high performance suspension

[@bigjoe4020]

wonder which bikes a 16 on the BobScore :)

[@cmpmendes]

A sport bike with a loud exhaust. Regardless of who is doing the reviews, if it ain't sporty with high power and low weight, it always misses the mark.

[@jonasbaine3538]

1290R

[@EmilyThinhnh]

Your channel is a source of entertainment as well as inspiration. Please continue to entertain us with your talent!🏙🎱🍍

[@domphoenixbgky]

if this is cheaper than the mt450 and himi450 this will do fine aside from its seat hiegth if its the same price range ill prefer the 450's..

[@TarunChoudhry]

Wrong about the specs there a little bit. LC4c engine produces more power and is higher capacity

[@kalaharimine]

Low exhaust on an ADV bike not too good, missing a piston and 50cc.

[@sayedahmed3357]

Video on Aprilia Tuono 457

[@ogasi1798]

sick looking bike - proper job #ktm

[@stevehunter7402]

I HATE LED lights. For headlights, showrooms, wherever. They drive me crazy. Old style headlights, No problem. I hope someone has enough sense to ban LED’s before we all go blind.

[@sagarsahiltirkey8784]

wait, it has the older 373cc engine instead of the new 399cc engine..??

[@slakk5093]

No, it’s got the new one

[@hookmaster1109]

It has a tech pack for the front wheel… only. Costs your first born

[@abcd8914]

Man this 390 need direct map view .......not turn by turn.....lower cost bikes have map man

[@Fiatmannen1]

That oxy sensor will get ript out first tree snag it hits

[@Macronvargas]

These people see a 300 XC-W and still saying it is an street bike 🥴🤦🏻‍♂️

[@marxteven]

it doesn't get the new 399cc??

[@SamuraiDanny]

It gets

[@Pompomgrenade]

I'd love to ride one but don't think I'd buy one

[@Nobby-f1f]

The exhaust is too low.

[@S278-u7o]

I want ktm rc 990 r please

[@cmpmendes]

It has an underslung exhaust...not very enduro style. Forget water crossings.

[@sunilsingha1991]

I dont understand but it doesn't produce any enthusiasm...maybe xpulse 210 will

Great looking bike except under belly exhaust

[@Edo11235813]

Better than the exhaust on the previous model, though

[@jonasbaine3538]

Under exhaust is perfect for lots of reasons when off-road

@@jonasbaine3538 for example??

[@jonasbaine3538]

Ok on my 1190 adv , the side exhaust can break your leg if the bike fall on you or just burn you. Another reason is the luggage racks have to be awkwardly pushed out so the bike looks completely asymmetrical from the rear. Under exhaust allow for more narrow profile riding off-road on single track between trees etc. under exhaust are better and use less piping. Drowning the exhaust in water would be extremely rare scenario

@@jonasbaine3538 It is clear that it was made to reduce both the weight and cost of the motorcycle. I don't think they thought about your safety.

[@podunkman2709]

Single cylinder brrrrrrr 🤮🤮🤮

[@whatupg1]

Yes, but it's still a KTM.

[@tymobyrne4451]

Kinda boring news from that show so far.

[@davide3081]

If it had a twin & higher exhaust and weighed 130kg, it would have corned the market

[@skaraborgcraft]

Too late to the party except for KTM fanbois with big wallets who enjoy warranty claims.

[@rj504]

Made in india

[@nordicNomad911]

I own a royal endfield 650 with the standard 3 year warranty. Zero problems, zero regrets, and easy to maintain. I'd buy a made in India over a made in communist China everytime.
