The thing is, Duke 390 is meant to fulfill one purpose and that is Thrill. It does that job like no other motorcycles can, and it gets better at it every time. However, this also means that this bike is not for everyone. I don't know why people compare it with Himalayan or GT650. One is utalitarian bike meant for adventure touring, one if for refinment and FEEL good. I don't know what's wrong with lot of us Indian bikers who are confused as hell. Perhaps, it because a lot of them/us are not rich enough to have a multi-motorcycle garage and therefore in search of that Unicorn of a bike we keep bashing the other bike in the same price segment although its meant to do something else entirely. (Very Weird sort of market we have due to poverty - sounds harsh and cuts through like a blade but deep down inside you know it's reality and our markets are dictated more by price/practicality than actual purpose/feeling). Interestingly, people here compare bikes by price segment than purpose LOL. I mean, what the heck but yeah.
Remember Bike is not Chhapri But Rider can be.. We can find Many Chhapris on Royal Enfield with aftermarket silencers,Yamaha etc also I just love the Engineering of ktm bikes which includes one of the best build quality,handling, Power delivery right from beginning to the top end, throttle response,Ride quality,Sporty riding position etc It's just sad that because of some people,Brand value and sales are affected..
While few companies are trying to sell 5yr old dead motorcycle kudos to Ktm and Kawasaki for keeping the motorcycling alive with updates and new models❤🙏
@@thewarlord502 my all time dream bike is da cbr650r but if they dont keep it good in coming years im going to switch on naked and ofc go for a street triple or a z900
The glitch at 5:51 - let the motorcycle prime before you use the start button. Bikes like this require their time to start every linked component and hence the glitch since you keyed the ignition right when the motorcycle is waking up. So, this isnt a fault with the motorcycle but lack of patience that causes a snowball effect since the bike needs time to start all the ignition parts to sync with each other. Fuel pump, spark plug, starter motor, ignition coil, FI etc. So let the dash come up, wait for warning signs to go till you only see the TC and ABS signs (most common for all modern FI motorcycles) and then wait for atleast 15-20 secs for the fuel pump to prime and stop ticking. Then start, your engine and electricals will thank you.
KTM machines are beautiful monsters that can give you thrill in every ride. My first trip of 300 kms in a day on duke 200 was just phenomenal and from that day I’m in love with these beautifully engineered machines. I am also a proud owner of Apache 160 4v.
Always black, orange or white. They have the new Atlantic blue and that’s a little cool. It has a white duke sticker that is dumb and the silver aluminum rear frame looks better in the black. I think they could do something like an alternate third jersey for a soccer team. When the third jersey is just unrelated to the team colors. Like when a top club has a pink kit or salmon color. Not that crazy but something fresh
In terms of performance, I've really pushed the limits of the Duke 390 Gen 3, and personally, I don't believe it possesses as much power as some UA-camrs might lead you to believe.
It's so nice that you talked about high speed stability which is not good, no other reviewer talked about the high speed stability of 390, high speed stability really matters to a set of people and that could be the buying decision factor, keep up this point of talk in every video of yours, be it a bike or a car. Really happy that someone talks about highspeed stability.
This bike is an absolute beast amd fun to ride, super fun, so the only thing you desire is "ek or cyllinder de do". That what i desire everytime i feel vibrations😂 not always since bike is so much fun that you foget about big single vibrations
Honestly after watching this bike, i can think of buyimg it without fearing of that chapri tag....deep down we all know how good ktm makes motorcycles. Kudos to KTM engineers
i feel like Faisal is my brother from another mother. I ride exactly like this & i though i'm the only mental person who redlines every bike and car at the every chance i get apparently not. Love it keep up the good work 👍👍👍
What's so funny is no one knows how to use turn by turn navigation on new ktm models, it's just a feature on paper If you buy a duke for its power and acceleration. Go for it But if you buy it for all the tech features on offer, check if all the features have been really offered
I did all of this on Palm Beach road when I got my 2016 1st gen Slipper clutch D390. i sold it last year. planning to get the 2025 version next year. and your video just might make me more convinced with my decision. thanks. 🙂
I love the current and the previous generation ktms so much but our indian market has ruined its value been a ktm fan befored it entered India i am still fascinated by the super duke concept on the the entry level and midrange vehicles the colour schemes are on point though i agree with faisal too much orannge
@@princemjustus796 no bro. It's not comfort even upto 20km distance for pillion . Bcoz of seating angling and back seat footrest placing is not correct position. And mainly the vibration is more in upto 3rd gear. For single ride it's a beast.
Took a test ride of this bike, I own a 250 ktm adv, this felt amazing vibes are there but nothing unbearable. Much more tractable engine than the previous gen. Can't think of any bike that combines being nimble and super fast and light everything all in one in india. If you think the new himalayan is fast and powerful then you have no idea how much it lacks in terms of agility and in the "fun quotient"
@@FasBeam yeah I know that but would love too see the setup so many of us can use that so we can avoid the wind noise which we normally get at high speeds
Got this machine delivered last week and it is such a beautiful masterpiece by KTM. Never thought of KTM just because of the image it has and I can definitely say that the new 3rd Gen 390 will change that brand image. When I rode it for the first time. I instantly fell in love. It was well in sync with my character and expectations. Very well reviewed @Fasbeam Faizal. Vibrations are very well felt. Headlights shiver in idle. But overall performance of the machine is breathtaking. It still stalls often in lower gears (could be an issue with mine). Launch control and navigation will get enabled only post 1st service. Launch control, I understand. Not sure why KTM is making us wait for navigation. Overall this machine is pure fun to ride with excellent handling and cornering ability.
Thanks for the comment bro.. I am looking for a comment like this.. i got mine today.. i felt it’s vibrating more… seems like, if we keep on using it, vibrations may reduce or after 1st service
Just wanted to share my experience post 100+ kms of running. The machine has become much much smoother now and I can feel a day night difference from day 1 and now. Share your experience. How is your machine after few kms of running.
@@nishanthc6492 I rode 2K kms in just 1 month.. I am so impressed with this machine. Completed my 1st service as well at 1100 Kms. It is smooth now. But I feel so much vibrations at 5000-6000 rpm. If I ride below 5000 it is smooth but if I ride above 6000 rpm it is super smooth. The handling stability at a speed of 160 is just amazing. This new 390 model is unexpected by me. Very well designed by KTM.
Bro, aditional cylnder may not reduce the vibrations. Almost all the bike bike sold in India with twin cylinder are just parallel twin. For the better balacing and reduced vibration, engine must be v or in line. In india we ct get them below 6L rupees
New duke 390 is not reliable. I have heard lot of users complaining about engine issues and missing. Better to wait until company sorts out these issues
This bike has always been this beautiful... I still regret selling my duke 200 for an Ntorq coz my mother wanted to learn how to ride a scooter and use it... But given the chance I'd totally get this 390 again
How many fans of the Duke 390?
Im happy with my 2022 model , this doesn't look worth the upgrade
I watched your review back in 2018 of your 390 and bought a 2014 second hand
Just loving it

So true..
I understand first bike shouldn't be 390 but on the other hand having 100cc bike experience. I don't see why shouldn't go for 390 😭
Mostly royal enfield fanbois are uneducated so they do compare with there technologically & dynamically inferior enfield motorcycles

Absolutely correct , KTM in india is a big L but outside india its a banger.
What about pillion????😂😂

That's a good observation most people have no or lack of patience!!
Mainly due to more electrical parts
I don't care if people call it chapri..I would still buy this...

Wish they could get rid of orange touch for India atleast 😢
I dont want to get to rid of that, but put it as an option
Imagine replacing all the orange (except Alloys and suspension) with white 😤🤌🏻

It d be great to occasionally add the lowest speeds that the bike can do in the higher gears... tractibility is a necessary characteristic as well
Liking this so that Faisal will see this
Upvote!

2 days before i bought it. Its very nice to ride even 6th gear will go around 48kmph. Milege comes 31kmpl only on below 5000rpm.
