  • 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.

      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!

    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.
