From riding 1000cc + metric style cruisers and a 81 XLH sportster as my first bike(which believe it or not handled equally as good as my 18 KTM Duke 390 if it not I'd be mostly likely dead) BUT this little 373cc is quite a little monster thanks to it's high compression ratio and overall engineering. Stunning bike in style and yes, attitude. The way it pulls. Loves high rpms. KTM brand is starting to grow on me. Still gotta respect and love Honda and Yamaha motorcycles.

I love this bike.. I've booked it after a test ride. I think even the fact that it's ride by wire throttle and switchable ABS to Supermoto mode makes it a class apart from everything in this range.

I think the Z300 is the biggest competitor of the Duke, since they give you an Akrapovic and a couple more details for 500 extra only being 5.500 in total really makes it a game changer. (EUR)

The hideous car is a Nissan Figaro which is a Japanese only market re-body of the Micra. They're a grey import and popular with the laydeez because of the pastel colour range and the retro looks. The KTM Duke on the other hand is a cracking looking bike in common with the rest of their range. :-)

Funny review of the nasty greenish car! LOL! 390 Duke review was interesting. I was hoping one would be in the comfort realm but I got this feeling that is probably gonna be on the Top 5 dislikes? Weight has driven my bike options quite a bit lately so am glad to hear the weight was a top love. And how can you not love a TFT screen, bright and bold! I'm not sold on the headlight but if it lights the road up brilliantly, I'll buy into your love of it easily. As much as I've enjoyed the T120, the beam of light that emits from it is useless at night. Nothing a replacement bulb can't fix or auxiliary lights couldn't fix. Nicely done as always TMF!

Great video, very informative. Just curious why the motor didn’t make it on your list. I also have a request. How would the little Duke compare with your Street Triple R for riding around town. I ask because I used to own a 12 model Street Triple R, my favourite of all my bikes. Brilliant throttle response and wonderful low end to mid range. I preferred to ride the low end torque curve as opposed to previous 4 cylinder Yamaha’s I used to prefer. I am really wondering if the KTM could be like having a lighter STR without a top end, ie lots of lower speed fun.

Hi, great vid. Took the 390 Duke out for a test ride last week. My bike is a Ducati hyperstrada 821. I found the Duke incredibly light , nimble and I think the funnest bikes I've ever ridden. Also the best looking Duke in the KTM family, If only the Duke 690R was this striking. I thought the engine was a hoot too. You had a top 5, the engine for me would be at number 6. I did not get it to a motorway, so have no idea what it would be like on say a long tour.. Any thoughts?

Lovely short top 5 vid Sir. :) I've got a small query about this bike. Sir, do you think the alloy wheels are pretty sturdy to handle a bit of off roading? (Considering the new BMW 310 GS, the Kawasaki Versys 650 & other smaller displacement dual sport bikes are coming with alloy wheels rather than the spoked ones in the bigger Adv bikes). In the Himalayan ranges (especially Leh Ladakh) where we (Indians & some foreigners too these days) generally face snow, gravels, small river crossings, muddy trails quite often. That's why the query Sir. I've heard from previous Duke 390 (2015 & before) owners that they've had issues of cracked alloys in the Himalayan ranges. I really do pray the KTM guys have beefed up their alloys, since the 390 Duke is their flagship offering in India. 😊

Does this give a 35kw mt07 a run for its money? Or are they not comparable?

+Chicken Soup for the Loser Quite a different ride, the MT is quicker but the Duke lighter and arguably more fun...

lol, well yes one would. Looks a fund piece of kit. A good looking bike and something that would be good to blast around the country lanes of the Cotswolds, or even the Charlbury roads you features on a previous video. There about 10 mins from the house.

A constant POV video can get a bit boring. You should try switching from POV to third person from time to time to keep the viewer hooked. Also should try focusing the video on the actual bike showing us little details on it. But great video anyways mate! 👍🏻

thanks for the quick reply . I am contemplating between D390 and TNT300, just not able to decide.. I love styling and features of D390 and comfort ability and sound of T300. I have been thinking for the past one year. Just could not be able to decide :-(
