KTM 390 Adventure fun

- My wife has her motorcycle license test booked next week so I thought I best get out for an adventure on the 390 before she takes it over! Straight in to the mud and single track, I was impressed by where this bike could go. Its no 890R or 1290R but there is a lot of fun to be had on the smallest KTM Adventure bike.

Ha ha! My wife and I watched this. I commented to her that this guy was a pretty good rider. Then I noticed who was actually riding. I'm a huge fan and Say no To Slow has improved my off road riding a lot. I'm 74 and own a KTM 390A and recently sold my 690 Enduro r in favor of the new Honda crf300l. Thanks for all you do for the world of motorcycling Chris. When I think of proper form, I think of you.
74 wow - respect
Sir and between the KTM 390 and Honda CRF300, which do you enjoy most and why?
Why would you go to the crf300l when you have the 390? Is it because of the weight? After seeing this video I was thinking the KTM 390 is the magic unicorn do everything bike. This proves it can be trail ridden!
The man could do it on a moped and look good!!!
What didn’t you like about the 690?
That’s what riding is all about laughing in your helmet and having fun with your mates, on whatever bike you have.
Hell yeah! 💯
Thanks Chris, nice to see what this little bike is capable of and it has certainly put this bike into my serious look at bike list.
hey men did you bought it as your first bike ?
Love this video. Its fair enough that he dig the shit out of the adv 390. Not only on the big adv bikes like the 790. Atleast we know that the adv390 can also do it. Thank u Chris.
Great riding on some difficult terrain, KTM 390 ADV Awesome motorcycle, Most people don’t realize how capable this bike is. This is a great Continental Divide Bike, 3 months ago I rode it on the Divide it was awesome. I’m done with heavy motorcycles for off road riding. HAPPY TRAILS from TEXAS
1190 heavy coz your picking it up too often
I've wanted this bike for awhile now but now that I've seen that it can actually hold its own pretty well off reading...I want one even more now. The KTM 390 Adventure really seems to me to be a PERFECT bike.
I'd have so much fun with one if I could ever possibly afford it (I cannot).
This was awesome! More videos with 390 pls
“It’s the rider, not the bike”... one more time, this bike is more capable and very fun to drive, but far from perfect. Thanks Chris!
Good and inspiring to see this ...as I own an even smaller 250cc (but equally potent) KTM Adv 250...
In India 🇮🇳 we desperately waiting.. when Chris take it (390adv) to the trail and share his reviews.
Thanks for the video Chris! The 1190R gets a bit heavy to pick up for me sometimes, thinking about getting the 390 for a change as a second bike.
I was thinking the same, got SV 650 for a first bike, bought 390 as a second, now SV is a second ;)
With the now available wire wheel and suspension mods available I think the 390 would outperform most adv bikes. -14 1190
Below an 890 Adv R, I'd wait for a 490 twin.
@@KevinDaken I've not heard much about it since I first learned of their goals, but I'd also not heard they stopped the project. Where did you hear about this?
Merci tu es un bon 👍🇫🇷
Impossible !!! In 1st gear, that thing goes like a tractor! Seeing this was particularly useful to me, considering options. Most media 'reviews' give the impression that cycles can't go over an off-road pebble without meters/yards of suspension travel.
Cool :) Inspiring new riders to get out and give it a go :)
Nice to see it can go where a dual sport goes. It would be nice to be on the 390 for that long pavement ride to home.
I loved almost every minute of owning my 390 adventure. I think I would still have it now if the local dealer was actually good at taking care of the bike! Went over to a T7 for the backup! I notice the weight though!!!
That's unfortunate! What issues did you have with the bike and dealer?
Best KTM 390 Adventure avertisement!
Cool video as expected from Chris. Personally I'm waiting for the 490 adventure because I think it'll more capable on the road to the trails.
@@KevinDaken 😢
Chris since you have KTM's ear, can you please advocate for a 390R. It's all most guys really need.
holy shit! That's the best shit I've ever seen a 390 adv get up to!
MASTER!!! What a fun video! thanks!
what a fine pilot you are. Great video, I can see you had so much fun riding that little mounster :D
Fortnine should watch this
Best advertisement I've ever seen for this bike. Really showcases how capable it is
What a fun video! Had me grinning from ear to ear ❤️
Jeezzzzz! Some offroading! And all those laughs and screams! Loved it! Talking about capruting the feeling, great job! Going to buy 390 adv in next spring - my very first bike! Subbed for sure!
I am looking at going up that track in a few weeks, thanks
enjoy!
Loved your
long way for bush coffee video
long back .
Would love if you would be able to produce a video in similar lines with the 390 adventure.
Peace
Ooooooooo.....sheeeeettttttt.. this is absolutely insane
Skills!
Chris is the best bang for the buck marketing investment at KTM.
Smaller bike means less weight, the rougher the terrain the more that will be an advantage compared to the larger and more powerfull bikes...
There's a reason why mx and enduro use lighter bikes with not that much power.
An MXGP 450 might have a bit over 65HP, more power than that is useless. In most cases somewhere around 40HP is more than enough to rip.
Nerves of steel،👍👍👍👍
Great video! I am loving it! Well done!!👍
Awesome mate. Absolutely loved watching this, so good to see you showing what this amazing little bike can do. 👌 mad skills mate ✌
Can you do more videos with adventure 390
If I wasn’t going to get one I am now, could I do that stuff hell no but it’s nice knowing the bike can lol
The big worry on this bike is whether one will end up bending the alloy rims. OK, Chris, did ya? Because if you didn't, I doubt I ever will on mine, and it will save me from popping for the spokes. (To be clear, I make the same freaking out a wee bit noises when I ride.)
Any advice on adjusting the suspension settings for the 390?
was expecting you to do something with this puppy for a long time, thank you mr birch
So so cool!!!
Thanks!
It's amazing brother 🤘
I thought it was just me that made all of these 'ooo!..arrr! ...eeeeee!' noises
Enjoy the beautiful bike life 👍
Haha, bet YOu had fun on that "beast" Chris :D
Great fun. Great ride(r)!
This was awesome! you make it look so easy
Superb bro 👌
Awesome 😎
Hey Chris, stop playing with children bike please😂😂, I understand that you have to do it , but KTM also has the new 300 (2 STROKE) super fun bike😉 I think you will enjoy it, going for a bush coffee maybe?? Thanks again for the videos, you are the boss, saludos from Spain💪🏻💪🏻
bro..the 300 got a small tank..the 390 will get you near to 400km..also thousands of k's before oil change. grow up and move on..this bike is not meant for short enduros
Wow. I didn't think this would be possible with that bike.
This bike is made in India and is a very good machine. Only wish that it had wire spoke wheels instead of those weak alloys.
So much fun!
Love my 790 R but I can't wait to see KTM making the 390 R 🙏🙏🙏 as always it looks easy looking out how you handle this bike 💪
You need to do Redbull Romaniacs on the KTM 790... one day.
Go head to head with pol torres🤔
❤️
Did you change the footpegs or put any risers on it?😅
No, its really for my wife to ride so no changes to it. Some different footpegs would be nice.
Awesome pouch on the windshield!
you can get them right here www.chrisbirch.co.nz/online-shop/chris-birch-pocket
it looked like you wheelied this thing like it was nothing. I still have lots to work on! Did you have MTC on or off? does it make a difference in trying to wheelie?
Was this a complete stock bike or were there any changes made to it?
Tires are not stock
I have upgraded stock 130 section tyre by 150 section in my 390 adv does it affect bike performance any suggestions
REALLY I CAN DO THIS WITH MY BIKE? Hahaha Amazing skills mate!
Ciao , bel video complimenti 💯 ti volevo chiedere ma la moto è originale ho hai fatto la mappatura .
Nice work 👏
😆👌 makes my little fun times look mediocre😭🤣
If Motorcycle riding is your job.
Damn.. 🥂
What tires were you riding with?
Still waiting KTM bring this model to brazil....
супер!
Light weight adv seems to fit bill for heavy bush rides
Mr. Birch, why not also consider the KTM690 Enduro R also? Perhaps for a new rider it's a bit much but definitely more capable than 390ADV. Seems the 690 is the black sheep with no place.
nice
Holaaa Chris como estas amigo y que te pareció la 390 adv? Yo tengo 1 muy buena máquina tus vídeos muy buenos te sigo en el canal y en los videos de ktm Australia aguante KTM 💪💪💪 Saludos desde Concepción del Uruguay provincia de Entre Ríos Argentina abrazo hno.
Quelles sont les pneus sur la moto?
👍. Was this a stock bike? If not what was added please?
Just a few power parts. Skid plate etc.
Knarly woo!
Love the monkey noises!
Damn, where was that jungle footage filmed?
Near my house 👍
Made to look easy...
Can u sustain a wheelie on this
It's a much better rider than the motorcycle. i am almost sure you can do the same track with a Vespa...
That underbelly crash at 1:50 hurts 😖
Thanks for the content, hope to hear your thoughts on the bike after a few rides. I also think many are wanting the 390cc moto put into a DS frame (WR250R/DRZ400) and at the more affordable end of the market.This would be ideal for those wanting more 50/50, lightweight, but aren't ready to invest in a high-spec Enduro bike yet.
Nah doesn't work like that keep ya poo Yamaha well clear or in the tip be the idea ...
@@Crust2013 Just putting the idea out there.This would greatly help KTM/Husqvarna appeal to a potential buyers and create life long customers.
that is exactly what I did with my old duke 390. It has a yz 125 front fork and rear shock.
Good job! 👍👍 How many pairs of broken wheels ?? 😁
What tires?
It's almost oddly refreshing to see Chris ride without a production team and cinematic film crew. Just to see a gopro filmed actual ride was enjoyable in a different way.
Im glad you liked the video! Fun fact, the crew for our other videos is one other person. I do the bike prep and the riding, John does all the filming and editing and cooking.
And here I am very careful not to drop my newly restored DT125.
My wife has one and my biggest complaint about it is that the steering hits full lock too soon, and the girth of the wiring harness makes it so that you couldn't turn tighter even if you modified the stops.
This bike seems so light. You can probably just pick it up and turn it 180 :P
@@LenTheFrisian definitely not. it weighs almost as much as the 790/890's do.
Ktm is an off road runner?
Where do you get the windscreen bag?
Right here www.chrisbirch.co.nz/online-shop/chris-birch-pocket
u have to go through all that to get to starbucks? man that's much better than GS dudes
0:45 KTM snorkel next on the development list, Chris? 🤿😂
I hope you wash that before Mrs. Birch takes it :)
I did an extra good job of cleaning it I promise!
Особенно на литых колёсах , самое ТО......
I have the same bike minus the Mitas E09s. Don't get those tires here in Nepal. If I did, does it come with CB"s capabilities preloaded? 😀
1:51 I'd check the bash plate. Stock ones aren't too sturdy.
How is the service network of KTM in Nepal especially adv 390.? Thinking of riding to Kathmandu from north east India within couple of day's
@@vikrambaisya7548 For KTM, the most reliable service station is in Kathmandu. The other is in Pokhara. I would definitely get the bike serviced and double-checked before heading into the mountains.
@@SubuShrestha ... Thanks for the tip
Needs more ground clearance, a 690 enduro suspension swap could greatly enhance performance. I think an old Duke 390 with a dirt bike suspension can surpass this.
can u pls do more videos about adv 390
Which trails ? A+
