I got the Vitpilen 401 for the looks (sorry, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I know ;)) but I love the mechanicals of these bikes. The front brake scared the heel out of me first time I tried it.. real stick-in-the-spokes stuff if you grab a handful! 😆 great video and looking forward to more content both on and off-road!
Wish you get more options for a radiator cover in RSA, that don't cost an arm and a leg and that looks the duke part, don't like the idea of stones shooting from the front wheel..
Small bikes are easier to ride harder for whatever reason I can still take my old clunky 250 and run circles around my street triple on a tight enough road. But maybe its because there is so much less to lose.
Mate, those boots look a tad heavy and thick. Great for riding (and for protection, which is what they are for), but terrible for walking those few steps to the loo at the petrol station or anywhere else for that matter. Your trim frame could opt for a sleeker fit. Pray you don’t trip or sprain your ankles in those!
can i forever solve the 390 duke vs duke 390 argument? When you speak about an RC 390 you say RC 390 not 390 RC so the duke should be called the KTM Duke 390 not KTM 390 Duke! :) hope I solved the issue for all my fellow 390 owners
A little bike which is not completely focused on performance? Wtf? This is not even a beginner friendly bike. Also i can assure 70% of the viewers cant even come close to this bikes capabilities, including me!
I think it is really beginner friendly, low seatheight, easy handling and ergonomics, low price, abs, and a motor that is not too much to handle if you take it a little easy on the first rides
also, you can definitly get out of the bikes comfort zone as the brakes tend to get hot fast and the suspension can get a little unstable if you brake and accelerate hard.
One of those rare videos where a KTM is praised for its fuel efficiency.
Well that's what Indian's will feel soo 😁
I knew I'd find another Indian here😁! Kitna deti hai?
@@daled.m.4512 Haha I swear that's all I got asked by the petrol pump employees during the first few years of my RC390 ownership.
wtf im indian too 🇮🇳
only Indians will get the point😂
the look, the ride of this bike is simply PERFECT.
I absolutely love ktms, and this channel is the best for that
Meanwhile im here having a hard time saving for my higher displacement bike out from 150cc
KTM is beautiful bike and I have personally started to look at the KTM 690 Enduro R. Great video and Ride Safe!

Vitpilen is beautiful bike mate.
I love the tail tidy on mine. I'm not a huge fan of that giant appendage sticking out the back and I think it makes the bike look even better.
Hanging out for the 490 if they bring it out. I will never sell my 390 though. It can find a home in my shed all warm and cosy
Watching from the Philippines were that motorcycle is very popular to our country ♥️
I still want one, for funning about on.
Looking forward to the 490 smc
That is one of the best looking KTMs they have ever built.
Love from India ❤️❤️❤️
For Indian road conditions Duke 390 is beast bro💪💪💪
I totally agree with the one finger braking brother. I have a RC 390 and it brakes absolutely perfect with one finger braking.
KTM 390 being called a 'little' bike
Indians : ok.
Filled it up twice sinces you bought it?
I literally have been to the gasstation 2 times this week with my 390 :)
Fill up the tank😂. Ig ur filling it have way
@@aloysiscoutinho2343 bhayya 40rs🤣🤣🤣
You must be doing a lot of ridding.
What's up bro
Love your videos ,can you please make a video on counter steering
Peace ✌☮🕊
Pretty early again, think I might even be first. Looks like its becoming a regular occurence.
Love the videos👌🏼

Mate I have an identical 390 in jhb, just with a Yoshi tailpiece, well well worth it!
Marquez...?
Mir...?
What about Binder? :D
He is a South African and on KTM Factory Racing Team!
KTM have a great Torque performance
The split down the middle of the headligth is a cooler for the ligths becuse there so good in dark💪
How much have you ridden since you bought it?
100miles?
Btw , How tall are u?
Why did you decide to take the bar end weights off?
Small bikes are easier to ride harder for whatever reason I can still take my old clunky 250 and run circles around my street triple on a tight enough road. But maybe its because there is so much less to lose.
Probably because your skill level can max out a 250, where you can only ride your bigger bike at like 40% of its performance.
You should definitely put bar end weights ♥

Hi Chaos I really have an important question. Is it true that KTMs break really often? Have you experienced any issues?
No. Not a single issue in 3.5 years. The most reliable bile I ever had, and this is #15, including BMW, Triumph, Honda, Yam and RE
Here m happy with my KTM RC125 bike
Please do a top speed run
So many people think I have a Super Duke. Nope 390 Fam. That TFT. KTM MY Ride. I miss them anytime I'm on another bike. KTM Orange
I don’t know if I should buy the MT07 or this one. I like both
MT 07 with Full akrapovic exhaust believe me 👀
@@erix6110 does the akrapovic full system increase power or is it just about sound? On the other hand, do you like Honda CB650R?? Thanks
@@tonipepperoni5994 if you get it tuned it will probably get you a few horses, but the real perk of an akra system on a mt-07 is the incredible sound
Sv650 :)
What crash cage is tht on ur bike. I wnt to buy it !!
Where can I get those crash guard??
does it work for long rides well?
That bike NEEDS a smaller licence plate holder!
What's your height?
Love from India Kerala ❤
Will you ever buy a Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 ?????
How tall are you?
red bull are you watching ?
Us asian will not consider this motorcycle as economical, because honda give use 115cc motorcycle that can do 65km in one litter gas
3,5l on gas Is good ? My Golf tdi can do that on diesel with 5 people and lagguage .
The fuel efficiency isn't that great for its class. 😛
Im sold
I hav a solution for ur duke 390 for overheating issue
What's that
@@rohansatish6865 add an oil cooler under radiator

What fuel type do you run?
vodka
So u hate 8 but love 5, why do u keep the bike xD joking 😂😂
Early squaad
amazed by 3.5L/100km consumption?
my honda cb300r with 2.8L/100km: hold my gasoline
ok no highway but mostly mountain roads
Well, that is almost 100cc less with 31Hp.
@@Topper_Harley68 yes but also cb500f is more efficient than Duke 390, only twin cilynder like Kawasaki ninja 400 use more fuel
That bike needs a tail tidy
Really would like to see KTM discover the color spectrum beyond white orange and black.
Allegedly, the orange is so that if you break pieces off the bike, especially adventure model riders, they're easier to find and recover.
Looks to me as if someone is forcing this relationship 🤔
A little bike which is not completely focused on performance? Wtf?

@@jonas890r Obviously its no 100bho bike,but the throttle is super choppy ,and the bottom end can be surprising for new riders
9th
Engine es 373cc not 390
11th
Ewww, mpg is abysml.
? It's pretty good .
