The seat could be upgraded with an aftermarket one, or maybe KTM themselves have some options available. I remember the catalogue saying parts could be upgraded direct from KTM, so if that's the only complaint, it's a pretty solid bike then. Always liked these bike's design. Would be a hard choice for me going with this, or a motard.

Got this recently, white version though. I agree with your criticism with the seat, i consider it a very small con. All in all when you consider the value for money, it's one hell of a bike. Since it's only made in India, we get it for a very very good price. Cost me 4500USD/3700EURO including all the taxes and insurances. It's also 100-200EURO cheaper in other Indian states.

As a long time owner of a 390, here are few bits from my experience. -The bike is only good for city or short distance riding, with stock seat the butt will be sore in 45 minutes. The vibration is not too excessive as it is a single. The stock seat is perfect if you like to take your bike to the track, as the stiffness allows you to shift your weight pretty easily. - There is ample power & torque in the low to middle-middle rev range, but the moment you cross 7k, there isnt much left in the bike, hence making it extremely difficult to ride on the highways. - Build quality is one of the worst I have ever seen, things just start to fall apart for no reason. The front shocks start to leak, in most of the 390's, although some had serious airbox issues as well. Overall the build quality is pathetic, mind you KTM is more expensive then other Japanese bikes in the same capacity range. - Bike is still fun to throw around corners, especially if you have mountainous roads, or you wish to take it regularly to the track. I wont go around the short gear ratios, as before you even cross 100km, you already are in 5th gear. In my opinion after owning one, the bike is a total waste of money when compared to other options available. Just dont waste your money buying any smaller Dukes, as they are made in India with one of the worst Quality Controls. They are not worth it.
