Flo is currently in the local dealership for some TLC and I was kindly loaned the KTM Duke 390 in the interim. Great step up from the previous model and very sleek for a 390cc! It's A2 compliant right out the dealership.

Great bike i own one as my second bike, great channel I've just come across so it will be a great power watch for me.
Ride safe bro
My name is evolution and welcome to my channel 😃 Classic intro mate i love it 👍 Keep up the great work bro
WHAT IS GOING ON LADIES AND GENTS! :P
Thanks for the support bro! :)
Those DSLR Inserts tho :p Top video tho dude, I rode the CBR500r and felt the same, clutch was super light and gearbox was super smooth, some really nice starter bikes out there these days!
Damn straight bro! The new A2 bikes are so light and easy - Stay Awesome Dannyboy
Upsidedowm forks
Dual channel abs with 3 modes
Slipper clutch
Ride by wire
Metzelers stock tyres
Led Lights everywhere!
And the best part is the TFT display😍
Looks are subjective but this one is the best looking naked bike for me!
And the power is more than enough for city riding✨
Also the bike is quite reliable!
The latest Duke certainly has my approval!
@@zhack3d I hope so.
Finally 😊 can’t wait to get this
Sorry for the delay! :)
Dunno if anyone has said it yet but the ByBre brakes are "By Brembo" so they're still very good quality, just not as expensive or fancy as propert Brembos but for a cheaper bike, they still perform well. You can easily get the rear wheel off the ground if you pull the lever hard enough. Also the exhaust can be easily modified by core drilling out the silencer. It has a pretty nice sound without the silencer.
Haven’t seen any other comments call this out, but Bybre (the brake manufacturer here) is Brembo - it’s just their lower spec subsidiary for cheaper bikes. Bybre = By Brembo
Looks totally awesome
Great review just brought one of these ref the slipper clutch some people say you don't need to use clutch upshifting or downshifting any thought's of this thanks.
im getting the duke 125 next year, cant wait, love the videos😊💙cant wait to see the mt again!
Sweet - the facelift model? Thanks for the support!
EvolutionMotovlogs yeah the new one but in orange, not to keen on the white, but im so glad ur back the mt 07 is my dream bike cant wait to get one when i pass my a2 license!
Awesome pal, take it easy and ride safe!:)
Some here getting this bike next year.
Cool bike. For the tight twisties.
Nice video. Just bought a Rieju RS2 and sitting my CBT soon.
Awesome man, good choice on motorbike! Good luck with your CBT, ride safe! :)
Lovely bike!👌🏻
Thank you - stay AWESOME! :)
Such a nice bike 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for your video. Recommend to use both hands on arresting
awesome bike
I’m debating buying the Yamaha my125 or the KTM duke 125. What do you guys think is the best choice for a 17 year old who would be using it for daily commuting? Any advice would be highly appreciated. Btw epic video!
Damn, your audio is perfect!
Thanks Chaz! My Action Camera setup is below!
► GoPro Hero 4 Black (chin mounted)
► 1080p at 60fps (superview)
► Protune Enabled
► Sony ECMSC3 & GoPro Mic Adaptor
Ahh so it's my mic adapter that's shit cause I have the same mic as you haha.
Haha, welp! Interesting we've got the same mic, at least you know now though.... I'm trying to find a spare adaptor for myself but GoPro appear to have stopped selling the official adaptor for our models *facepalm*

just picked up my first bike (cb125f) and learning to ride in the cold, wet and ice is challenging.
Nice choice, I can imagine - take it easy and ride safe! :)
Best time to learn though really, you’ll appreciate the dry roads a whole lot more!
^^^^
I've been driving for 15 years and getting on a bike is a whole new ball game. Had the bike a week and on the odd ride I've had in the dry it's lovely and stable. Riding at night in horizontal rain on rural roads is a baptism of fire
As you said, the dry weather and sunny days are pure bliss! Which makes it all worth while...
Best review, nice place! Perfect camera. May I know which place is this? Town and country.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm based in SE England, Kent.
The brakes on this are in-house brembo designed parts, ktm save some money somehow by stating Bybre (By brembo)
Ah, I see - interesting to know! :)
personally I would like to see well known brand parts on the motorcycle; hydraulic brake design isn't a secret anymore, it's the manufacturer that count, I'm sure ByBre will work just fine but I would prefer something like Nissin (for example)
Bybre is brembo, just their budget range.
I want one of these so bad
this or mt 03?
Would you sell your mt 07 for this ?
I think you forgot to mention that the accelerator is an electronic ride by wire unit.
I did, well remembered! Pinned comment.
Fantasic bike but what about the over heating problems and head gaskets blowing not for me thanks keep it I,ll stay with honda Suzuki you know what your getting
1 thing i dont like in this duke390 is it doesn't have a hazard switch.
Well I bought it 😊, let’s just say if your coming from a 125 and your “not sure”? I’d say go for a it what a little rocket this is coming from 9hp for 44, feels like a super bike, with all the little addictions like the slipper clutch abs, tft display ktm my ride it’s just a absolute baragain of a bike for an a2 rider
Great summary! Thanks for the feedback, ride safe and enjoy your Duke! STAY AWESOME
True
Hows the electronics holding up?
Evolution what do u think about the Yamaha yzf r3?
Do you think it's worth the money?
Would you recommend it to a beginner?
I've not rode on personally, but if it's anything like the YZF-R125 it'll be a great starting motorbike.
Where exactly is this stretch of road 6:00 , I am around the area but cannot find it.
It's near Burham, eccles!
ijust bought this, interested to see what you think
marin patje Oh really? How are you finding it?
Still have not picked my 125 prob yzfr125 or CBR125R
YZF-R125 IMO
What would you say the average amount of money you would pay for insurance on a 125cc bike would be
Too many variables to answer that one! Location, experience, age, employment, type of cover etc. My insurance has varied from £300-£1000 through out the years depending on the motorcycle and type of cover. Very hard to gauge though; run a quote online! :)
That road is so much fun to drive on. About from that bum on the way back just before the split road
Sure is! :)
well its an excuse to ride i guess haha keep the reviews coming i need to see what to get next!
RAGE Miester Rides Any particular motorbikes you'd like to see? Thanks for watching, Stay AWESOME!
Suzuki sv650, ducati monster 796 or the Kawasaki Z800E? just a few ideas for the bigger a2 bikes
Great vid! Does your MT-07 35kw feel a lot faster or about the same acceleration on this one? tnx!
Tuur Laenen He wouldn’t notice much difference due to his MT07 being restricted and weighing more. Unrestricted he definitely would
George Bridgeman-Sutton Alright sounds logical & yeah unrestricted we all know who would come out on top. Thanks!
The MT07 has a lot more torque restricted, my preference is still the MT07 power/performance wise.
Thanks for getting back to me! That was what is wanted to hear 🙂
No worries! :)
Bottom line will it power wheelie ?
Doubt it, gave it some whack and couldn't get it to lift :(.
Evolution which bike is better mt 125 or duke 125 please help me
They're both similar when it comes to riding style and performance. I prefer the MT-125 overall but, the KTM looks very unique and the latest model has some wicked electronics (screen, backlights etc)
this bike is slightly over the A2 license, ive heard the bike dealer can limit the bike via software is that possible?
Yep! There are so many riding this on A2 due to bad You Tube advice, this means insurance would be invalid and I spoke to a cop who knows this. Its the power to wieght ratio. KTM..always original
It's actually the pre 2016 Duke that's not A2 compliant. Due to ABS and other things, the newer bikes weigh more with the same power - which makes them legal to ride.
At 2:37 point,what does dat car(swift) cost u in your country
Suzuki Swift; I have no idea - depends what year and condition etc. Around £1500-£3000.
I understand it's a loan bike, but too bad you didn't get a 690 Duke (A2 restricted). Would maybe be a better comparison against the MT-07 ?
I get that in theory an A2 compliant bike has lower kW/HP compared to it's "normal" version - (thinking off 690 Duke /MT07), but actually driving them, what changes? - acceleration? / torque? / top speed?
I agree, the 690/790 would've been a far better comparison! The 390 was certainly a fun snappy ride, but I'd prefer two cylinders of torque any day of the week.
Whats it like compare to MT07 performace ?
Single Cylinder 390cc vs Two Cylinder 700cc (approx).
I love the torque you get from the MT07 and it has FAR more potential when un-restricted. I'd 100% favour the MT07 any day but it's a bit of an unfair comparison. The Duke 790 vs MT07 would be interesting however.
Great looking bikes but still have my doubts on reliability.
Jay B Seem sturdy but KTM are known for electrical issues... Can't vouch but all was okay for me in the short time.
Ride the honda cb500f please!
More test rides soon :)
May I suggest a pointer with the cinematography? (I think that’s the right word). With your sweeping shots at the beginning, slow them down if you can. Whether that’s manually doing it slower or slowing down the footage. And try to eliminate shake cause it’s fairly obvious. Slowing down footage through an editor is gonna help with that
For sure pal, I agree! I need to purchase some stabilisation equipment for those smooth shots :)
EvolutionMotovlogs Definitely would help but you’d be surprised how good your arms could be with some training
The problem is; half the time I do the recordings - it's outside in the freezing cold and stability is difficult haha! Some new equipment to prevent this is on the to do list.
EvolutionMotovlogs UK is cold man. What camera do you film with?
Canon 700D, stock lense.
Don’t need a full licence? I beg to differ. A FULL A2 license is needed. Still need to have cracked your Module 1 and 2 as well as your Theory 👍🏻
Very true, probably my lack of explanation on my terminology - you do require your A2 License which I refer to as 'restricted' (albeit, it's a full license as no L plates, motorway access, pillions etc). Where as the 'A' license is a full license, no restrictions or power limitations.
I am 5'5 in height.Can be able to ride it ??
Ritik pathak no, seat height is 830mm, have to be at least 5.7
I'd recommend going and 'trying/sitting' on one at your local dealership; you can get lowering kits to reduce the ride height. I'd certainly say you could ride one with some confidence! :)
noice
🔥
How much is your ktm duke390 ?reply pls😃
They're approximately £4500-£5000 from new.
EvolutionMotovlogs thanks
Is that a hole in your glove?
It is! These are my first set of gloves since my first motorbike - due a net set!
Hehe, and i got my duke 390 on wensday and so far feels amazing!
6:11 Lets have a quick Ooooalkaround...lool...Ya...the police, avoid eye contact..
I don't know why ktm duke and rc series isn't popular in usa even they are great bikes. They only ride ktm dirt bikes
The RC series is something new and unique, give it time and fingers crossed!
The Duke 390 fails the A2 licence restrictions and should be restricted due to power to wieght ratios. A lot are riding with invalid insurance........cops know this aswell.
True with the old duke, not with the new one. Same power but extra dry weight. The 2017 revision is A2 compliant fully stock :)
You gotta buy new gloves bro!
Haha, I know - I've had these since my first ever motorbike!
5.53 ktm claim that the 20q7 ktm duke 125 is 137kg dry. The 2017 390 is 139 kg (306 lb) dry, that is impressive, again that's what Ktm claim.
Considering the extra power; the weight ratio is phenomenal!
Stuck between this and the ninja 400 >_
Tough decision! Both similar power outputs and A2 compliant but two different riding styles (Sportsbike vs Naked).
I'd recommend trying to view both of them in person, have a sit and feel them for yourself.
Atlest i found someone here have the same thought. Duke 390 or N400
BYBRE = by Brembo
Did those coppers have a word with you for being on the pavement at 6:10? Lol
MGI Mills They came to a slow stop, I caught them out the corner of my eye, by the time I glanced at them they just drove up...
Maybe curious about the bike. If you don't mind me asking, how tall are you? I am hoping to get an MT 07 for my 19th in June but I'm a little worried I'll be a bit too big (6,2)
You'll be fne. Only one to be worried about is the MT03. It's smaller than the MT125
George Bridgeman-Sutton cheers pal :)
MGI Mills All good. Just go to a local dealership like I did. They’re great, especially if they’re small
too much rubish talk ....not enough facts.
btw i go tnew duke and i love it!!!!!!!
