- After months without riding, Alexis really wanted to ride the 390 Duke before I sold it, so in today's video she throws on the vlogging helmet and hits some back roads to give you her first thoughts on this naked Austrian machine.

Who else read it as “Alexis Texas on the duke 390”?? Lol
I did lmao actually just commented that
I think I've heard that name🤔😅
Brah 😂😂😂😅
Ah I see you’re a person of culture as well
On the thumbnail for the video, Alexis looked like a superhero in a movie.
I love the “ready to race” and then the distinctive start of the one cylinder. I’ve had other bikes and rode many different styles but love the Duke 390 for everything that it offers at it’s price point.
Such a great machine for the money, glad we can agree!
Still a dream bike to get as my first one♥️
Same here while others are buying ninja h2 😂
I have it as my first since last week. Best choice i've ever made!
My dream bike
The comment on the back brake pedal being not as readily accessible was spot on. I crashed because of that once. Well lessons learnt!
Lovely review. Keep riding!
Another video featuring Alexis!! Fantastic! Great job Alexis! And still lovin the drone footage!
I'm sure the KTM reps are adoring the gushing comparison "It feels like a big grom!"
(Needs clutch practice.) Good review, Alexis.
I LOVE the 390 Duke. It's the first bike I took on the road after my MSF course. Definitely set the bar pretty high for other bikes in that class. :)))))
I just got a 2020 duke I love it, it is my first too!
Great bikes!
Hey man. I wanted to know if it is a good bike after a year of riding it. Thanks
It was cool to see Alexis do some vlogging/reviewing. 👍👍
I have the Duke 390 and I FUCKING LOVE IT. She pulls so hard once you hit 5k revs and just like fuck yes. Its SO flickable and agile. I love.
She did great, you should probably have more test rides with her on those mid-displacement bikes. Man it's cold up there; 76 right now in Daytona Beach, we are finally no longer dying in the heat.
Alexis should do a review on the Brooz or whatever its called. That bike looks like it would fit her.
Dang she likes the adrenaline rush too so dope that she gets into riding like that!
Nice job Alexis! I loved your review!
🔥💯 love the content and them bikes 😍
Great little learner, had one for a while when 1290 was in the shop, great fun bike, thinking of buying one as a second bike just for the hoot, save the 1290 for special days.
The couch lever is adjustable! Ju just had to do the right setting for your hands size.
Sweet video looked like fun cant wait for more
Looks like she can handle the power 😊👌
Great video :) i passed my MSF course on the Duke 200 which is the small brother to this 390 but I fell in love with the look of the dukes. What a looker. I was worried about it only being a single cylinder but it doesn’t seem to be an issue. The 200 was very quick for me as a new rider , so the 390 would feel like a rocket :)
hey bro should i just get the duke 200 instead of 390 for a beginner, i’ve ridden 125s but never anything bigger
@@bujubra2594Duke 390 was my first bike. I say go for it. Having a blast!
@@bujubra2594 go for the 390 . i came from a grom to a 390 too.
That same dog was freaking out on Tanner and I when we were riding. 😂
As a potential rider it's good to see a small bike zip over those roads without issue, because most of them were looking rough. And that's from a guy who grew up dodging MI potholes in a car lol.
It was nice to get her opinion and review. She needs to do more.
I’ll definitely get her to do more of these! Thanks for the feedback👍🏻
Honestly you can get them to lower it more for you if needed,I'm getting this bike in a week,I'm glad I waited an now the have the new 2024 model available in Atlantic blue,I'm super stoked,with more ride modes an headlights, awesome lil bike,ride safe out there.
I feel you alexis my hands freeze the second I go outside
You're doing really well as a new rider I just want to give you one tip and I hope you don't get upset with me. At 10:30 in the video you pull in the clutch to take that turn. The clutch should only be used to shift or stop not to slow down, next time just use both brakes before to the turn so that you have a good entry speed (don't touch the clutch) get back on the gas 😉
Pussy, speak normally
?
I noticed something I think you dont know about the 390 which I didn't either till month after owning,you dont have too hold clutch lever in but also too you only need touch the start button and let go it will crank on it's own until bike fires up.just wanted too make it easier and say fun!it wont crank either if in gear so totally dont need hold in clutch lever ever it has sensors that make you fail safe!
Do you know if the seat height is adjustable? Ktm website says "higher or lower seat option"
Seriously she’s dam good rider plus beautiful god bless her
You should try the 2021 Duke 200, still plenty power but lighter weight, even more fun to ride !
And I like the exhaust kept under the engine, not next to my right leg.
Use Surgical gloves inside your riding gloves in wet and winter conditions
That’s cool you guys are in Cbus. I’m in the area too. I just got a Duke 390 for my first bike. ❤
This little duke makes me wish I was small haha. Being 6'4 and 275 these little bikes are small for me. I can day that the most fun I ever had on a bike was a GS500. I was huge on it but she was a blast. Use to eat the foot pegs off it haha
I don't want to dump this bike... Cranks the throtle
I own the 2021 model. Excellent motorcycle , a bit light weight wise for the freeway but plenty of power for it . Don't regret buying it one bit. People give a lot of compliments for it's look.
hey bro as a new rider (only ever ridden 125s) should i go straight for the 390 or the 200
@@bujubra2594 it depends on how confident you are. The bike I rode before the 390 was a Yamaha virago 250 and the power difference was huge. But once I got used to it which took about 6 weeks it was great. If you're a confident rider and want a lot of quick exhilaration and power and have very good roads get the 390. But it will be scary for a few months so you need to be careful. But the 200 would be a big jump from a 125 because KTM are building great bikes. Please tell me what you are ridding now. I'd be able to advise better.
Hahaha I say the same shit when i'm out riding too... this is hilarious! Carrrr….gravel....SQUIRREL...OOO whats that...I'm lost... lol. Get it girl.
great review lexi
beauty and the machine 😊😊😊
Alexis is such a boss.
That thing goes!!!
I was sweating when you were above 70+ on those narrow streets........😅😅
Do you know...its not kmph,its mph so it should be more faster
gonna ride with this duke 390 this weekend and try it all out ...
Heck with the Duke!! Much rather have an Alexis
Petite women are the nectar of the Gods.
@@ljprep6250 true😂😂😍
Clown Shoes, I don't think that's an option!
Yep she is pretty
Alternativ: Buy an Alexa ;)
(from Amazon).
She's so cute, surely she's enjoying the bike. Her reactions and voice is so cute💕
Simp

Have some respect guy, straight simpin over a girl who’s clearly in a relationship🤨
Simp
You should let her do more reviews, she's cool
How tall is she? Can she flat foot it stock? I am 5'3 and wondering if I need to get it lowered lol
high pitched voice, gotta lower my phone's volume 😂
XD
Wow you got style! Keep it up.
Cutest, but most little badass rider on youtube! Your a lucky guy Tanner! haha
Love KTM duke 390 ready to race argentina!!!
Nice bike! Is that the original exhaust? Sounds really nice....
Love the smile!
She looks good on that bike and she makes the bike look huge.
Great video Thanks
👍👌 great work.girl.keep.it.up.great.video from R1 Greg 👊😁🖐️
it actually sounds good without the slipon
Thank God I will buy one for myself
Yo I’ve got those wheels. Don’t let all the testosterone shit heads tell you it’s a beginner bike. I’ve rode motorcycle for 30 years and owned nearly every CC bike and the Duke by far is my favourite. I sold everything else and kept the Duke.
Interesting, I've ridden bikes all my life, and I'm now looking for a retirement bike, to fit with my modest pension. I'm drawn to the 390 myself. Are they really that much fun?
@@hollyibbotson5290 light as a feather and pretty quick its called "The corner rocket". It can be thrown around by anyone and its got more electronics and quality than most bigger bikes. Ive ridden the 2018 Duke 125 and the 2018 790 Duke and had just as much fun on both.
@@hollyibbotson5290 Hello Holly. Yes they're that much fun. I've had Moto Guzzi, Aprilia, Honda and Triumph. All close to or over 1000cc. Right away as mentioned below it is a very light bike, 400lbs wet. KTM have done some magical tuning to get the torque and power from the single like they have. I tested Honda and Kawasaki's 300 and they felt so uninspiring.
As for comfort I'm 5'5" -140lbs and the Duke feels like it was built for me. I've done multiple 3hr rides on it and not once did I numb up.
Operationally the Duke, so far, runs perfectly. I haven't experienced any mechanicals or abnormal conditions you may have read about. One thing I did get was a bit of condensation on the inside edge of the LCD but that was due to me talking it quickly from warm low allititude to cold higher altitude.
Additionally where I live insurance is a crime, thank you ICBC, British Columbia Canada. So because it's under 400cc insurance isn't as painful as my other bikes.
That's all I got. I did a few videos on my Duke but as of now she's parked for the winter.
Hope this helped.
@@thecrowfliescrooked hi Trevor thank you so much for taking the time to reply, is there anything about the bike that you would change? By the look of the comments the machine can really handle, and appeals to experienced riders too. Any reliability issues? The insurance and tax for me in the Welsh Mountain area is £9 a month, with max no claims, which definetly got my attention.
@@ivodeniro just amazing ivo, so you'd highly recommend it then?
86mph alexis you goon shawty lol 💪
I ride a Duke and all and for some reason I worried the whole time a Critter was going to run out in front of you!
The clutch is adjustable. You don’t need change it just because is difficult to use it. I changed the mirrors and I put a bar ends mirrors. Much better. I’m just curious about the velocimeter: is it in mph or kph?
its both, yo0u can switch them in the display settings.
Glad alexis is feeling better
I love 390duku!!!!
very cute....thanks for posting
Dude you should gift the bike to her.....She really loves it
I'ts an awesome bike! Good for beginners, but not only for beginners! It does lack a little power on a motorway, but that's not a bike you gonna take for a tour around the states or europe. But if you live in a city, you just can't get anything better! Powerfull enough and agile almost like a bicycle!
How did the rubber gloves under the real gloves work? Were your hands warm at top speed?
Easy Rider it worked a lot better than I thought! Of course towards the end after 40 minutes of riding they were a Little cold but definitely made a difference!
I live in a place with cobblestone streets, speed bumps and lots of potholes. The Duke 390 ground clearance is only 175mm. Will it work in my environment?
I’d say go for it!! I’ve had this thing off-road a few times and it has done fine.
Thank you for this. Gosh im thinkin should i get the next one above this ktm since i have a little experience. My last bike was a ninja 300.
I have the 2021 Duke 390. If you can handle a ninja 300 it might be wise to go a 500 cc bike.
Nice video, guys! Just one question: Original exhaust or aftermarket?
No Exhaust just the kat
Fuel settings in the US
What to set it up to?
What is your height? I think duke 390 is suited for 5feet and 2 inches people
Hi Alexis, thanks for your great review and great enthusiasm!!
With what bike did you start learning? Would you recommend this bike as a starter bike for someone who has zero experience riding on the street?
I'm thinking of getting this bike for my wife as her first street bike; I'm guessing she should be fine with fitment (172cm) and has a couple of years of experience trail riding on a Kawasaki KLX140G.
Thanks,
Alessandro
Hey guys, whats your filming setup for the helmet ??
Is your bike showing the speed with Mph unit? Because i have 390 too but we have different speeds at same gear/revs.
Must kph i think otherwise that's some good speed
I know that the display tells you when you are in neutral, but does it show you what gear you are in?
Sure does!
How tall are you? Had the suspension been modified? I'm 5'3.
Beauty vs beast!
Did you removed the exhaust or any after market?
Yes the stock slip on is off.
Good job. 👍🏼👍🏼👊
While riding 390 duke its takes you to sudden rush for speed , the goodness is the light weight and more power it has, so need to be careful !
She's a confident rider.
For as little as she rides, she does well!
Lady still needs to work on smooth gear change and maybe use down shifting while braking, it helps a lot.
😍
Love ur bike
Ill take one in Orange, thanks!
Awesome
Nice engine sound.
what was the backpack for?
Very very cool.
The levers can be adjusted for reach
please put your can back on. you gonna fry valves. better cut out the db killer with 38mm hole saw. sound really good for stock pipe. cheap mod too
hahaha Winter is upon us , Duke might help us run away South ;)
Hope so!
are u from illinois? looks like the good ole corn n bean state
how tall are you , I want to know if I can sit flat footed on it.
Which place is this?? Beautiful !
Does anyone know how tall she is?
(in centimeter if possible)
Nice ride
Nice video... 👍
Thank you 👍
Is the exhaust stock on that thing? Sounds good.
Stock slip on was removed!
@@AdventureDaily sweet! Thanks for the info
