- Deciding which motorcycle to buy can be a tricky task as there are so many different types of motorcycles available in the market. In this video, I have shared my experience of how I ended up with the KTM 390 Adventure-X. However, if you are looking to purchase a motorcycle, this video will give you insight on how to choose the right motorcycle for yourself, irrespective of the type of motorcycle.

Bikes will keep coming and going ol' chap....just hold on to that wife of your's, she's one in millions!
💯
Even wives now a days go and come. Hold to thyself first. Once u r fine rest falls at their place. Women are part of life not heart of life.
Very well articulated 👏 . One doubt ? Can we use this for daily commute as well. Thanks in advance .
@@chetankumar-pw8bf Yes. Won’t be the best choice for city usage though as you need to work the gearbox a lot. If your primary usage is going to be city riding, look for something with better low end torque.
Yep
When the content, expression & narration is top notch, one doesn’t need fancy camera tricks or loud noises. A very down to earth, straight to the heart video. Great work!! I am hooked & subscribed now. Cheers from another KTM Adv 390 owner. 😉👍🏼
Thank you
Great story!! I too had thought on similar lines and decided on buying the x. She is 4 days old. Cheers and happy riding!
Congratulations and enjoy the ride
It's a he , cuz u are the one riding .
@@user-og9nl5mt1b haha.. I named it Blitz and it's become a 'He' now 😀
Thank you
@@prameethprabhuwhat is the service cost?
Stumbled upon your short video while researching 390 Adv-X, decided to visit your channel and found this gem of a vid!
Looking forward to more such quality content on the X!
Subscribed!!
This will change my views on what I need and what I want. Really loved the way you put forward all of this through a beautiful story. Happy riding!!
Thank you
Very nicely put. Also loved the editing, enjoyed the video and the voce over narrative.
Honest and apt. Salute man. Great video, great story and honestly, you certify better than the paid reviews or the ones for celebrity reach and content
Thanks maga ❤️
Amazing narrative. Very close to what I've experienced in the process of maturing as a motorcycle enthusiast over the past 25 yrs. Kudos.
Thank you
Very nice video, it really helped me control my dreams or fantasies and focus on the reasons for what I need a bike. Thank you so much 👍
Very commendable narration of your journey. Glad i came across it. In today’s world where everything is available in so much abundance, hardly do we sit and think what we really want and need from the bikes. We usually end up buying things that make us look cool only to realise in hindsight that we don’t actually need that much power, features and other gimmicks.
Having used multiple superbikes in last 15 years, i could relate to your story and it has somehow helped satiate my never ending thirst for something new to buy. The adventure 390 X is a tool that can double up as a sunday morning bike in addition to being a daily workhorse. To me, other than abs, the lesser intrusive the electronics, the better and sharper are my instincts and skills. Keep it up.
Thank you.
Extremely informative and qualitative! Thanks for the video brother.
Extremely well researched and explained beautifully.👏
Great video, completely agree with the points you put forward
I was also confused with the same stuff. Now I’ll go and purchase adv x. Thanks to u.
Just to hear someone speak honestly and passionately about something kept me hooked. I would put this video in the top 3 out of the last 1000 videos i watched.
Thank u so much. Means a lot to me ❤️
i thought i should go for the adv x but when i started the research, most of reviwers are saying its hard to recommend to anyone, the thing is wrong with those reviwers is (ps : im not against them), the most of the paid reviewers or celebrity reviewers are already riding a premium adv like bmw ducati & others brands, they are not thinking from the point of view of a person who came from 125/150 commuter bike or may be as simple as splendor passion or in my case yamaha fz150 ...people like us don't care about electronic gimiks, we don't get dependend on electronics, yes they are good in a tricky situation, it help us like a "friend in need friend indeed"..... people like you & your piont of view is the much needed these days...beacause one cannot review properly if they are owning premium advs, yes they are expert no doubt & there expertice some times go against them while reviewing budget avds..it also applicable for the cars as well, in the end its all about mindset & skills, adventure is a mindset, one can take as simple as a bicycle to leh ladhak & come back...keep it up bro you cleared a big burden from my heart ❤.
In the real world, the Adv-X just works. Watch Varun’s review (Powerdift) of the Adv-X on his Zanskar ride. He makes a good point about the Adv-X
This by far is the best video for those who are confused about choosing between Xpulse, 390 Adv SW, CB500X and 390 Adv X. It becomes heavily confusing to decide between the Adv variants alone. You walked the path for many of us and the way you narrated this experience is just awesome. It was quite a good feeling to listen to the audio and see the video of your ride. All the best and hopefully, I'll end up being in KTM family. Hope to see more interesting topics and videos from you. Thank a lot for such honest, nice to watch content.
Subscribed.! ♥
Thank you
Suzuki sx 250 my choice❤
@@sevenstars4817 Yeah it’s a brilliant motorcycle. I love it’s refinement. Only gripe is no switchable ABS at the rear.
@@prameethprabhu yeah agree...actually it will a decent tourer.
Which one did you buy brother.
Being a rider in short I wanna say this "Salute you brother".
Man you should start a podcast as well now! having an attention of a goldfish I sat through whole video. Thanks for this review. Waiting to see more from you!
Yup. There are plans
You have a great talent for Moto Vlogging- you can spin a narrative around riding so much better than many I have come across. Please keep at it. I enjoyed watching at 1.25 speed though. It sounds just right I think. Btw I booked an ADV X too.
Congrats 🎉 I’m sure you will enjoy the X. As I’m still new to Moto Vlogging, I’m sure there a lot of scope for improvement and I’ll strive for it. Thanks for the word of encouragement
Getting mine in same colour this Thursday…you made a fantastic choice! ❤
Congratulations in advance. You gonna love this motorcycle. Happy miles
as a college student i am vermy much facinated about these big (cc's) but you gave me a very clear picture about owning these fancy bikes where everyone is following the trend and it's very very important to understand the need,purpose and how the bike will go along with you in future.
I own an interceptor but ride along with a group where everyone (except me) owns a Superbike. HD, Ducati, Kawasaki etc.. Once in Chennai- Bengaluru highway, I rode the Hayabusa. It's bloody exciting but it was too much power for Indian roads. It's like a death wish on wheels. I decided against the 200 bhp class 😅
Nice choice and nice video bro...!!!
Lookin forward for more videos on ur X 👍🏾
Hope you have subscribed 🙂
Pretty good explaination and express great work bro keep going with some great context like this one! A true biker
Thank you. Do subscribe. Lot more content coming up.
Fantastic narration and great choice! Keep it up and keep revving ,, I will be buying one soon. This is really cool and heart touching vdo !
Thank you so much. Good luck with your purchase. Do watch my other videos as well 🙂
You've answered the questions which do and don't echo within the mind. I'm glad I came across your video. I'm yet to buy my first bike, I believe what you've narrated does match a lot with my likings too. Let's see how soon I'm going to get m hands on it!
Good luck 🤞🏻
Awesome comparison and honest reviews🎉
Sir review was great 👍full of information 💯hope to see more of your Moto blogs 🤝🏻wish for your success 😇
Thank you. More coming up soon. Hope you have subscribed
That's a great video man. I am currently in a stage thinking about the bike I want and the bike I really need. This throws some light on how I should make my decision.🙇
Glad my video was helpful. Do connect on Instagram and update me what you picked up.
I watched all of it. Thank you for your efforts. It made a lot of sense to me. I could really relate with with the super bike owning dream and overlooking all practicality of it. Those were really some words of wisdom.
Thank you 🙏
Superb analysis mate.
And precise presentation.
Appreciated to the core.
Thank you
The X simply makes so much sense over everything else!
Kudos to your wife for supporting you with your new adventure. Awesome story telling. Happy riding!
Indeed. Without her support none of this would have been possible.
Such a good audio and video …it was really meditative experience to watch this video
Thank you
Appreciate your all efforts and the narration along with what exactly we need as a biker.
Thank you
What a beautiful video
@@ashacapnotic865 Glad you found my video helpful 🙂
Love the way you narrated your experience! Happy motorcycling! 😊
Thank you 🙏
I loved the way how you narrowed down the list from the most expensive & high performer motorcycles to practicality which was ofcourse the KTM ADV 390 X. Almost the same happened to me, the Aprilia RS 457 was like a love at first sight for me & well within my budget too. My love for sport/super bikes. However, after taking a lot of trials of many under 450 cc motorcycles, I found 'the one' motorcycle for myself & that is the Triumph Scrambler 400x.
Thank you. The Scram is definitely going to prove to be an amazing motorcycle.
Planning to buy the SW. Good video 👍
Go for it. It’s fantastic.
Great video. Great story telling. 👍 Each and every word in this video is true. Great job 👍.
Thank you
that road is near bannerghatta,😍 its my weekend getaway. thank for the view in weekdays also. Love to watch more and more vlog like this, good work buddy.❤❣
Thank you 🙏
one hell of a narration... too good man..!! 👍
Fantastic video....very good presentation. Even the background music was perfect....not too loud and not too soft.
Thank you 🙏
This video spoke my mind n feelings I to finally settled with ktm 390x adventure the most versatile bike and a good decision
What a story it was.....
As you said it was a story worth sharing.🙂👍
Do share it with others 🙂
@@prameethprabhu sure👍
Believe it or not. Im finally watching a video that i was searching for my whole life it seems.
Well narrated
So grateful ❤
Thank you
Great content!! 🤘🤘
Bro eye opening video for me as I was thinking to get 390 adv but now I will give a thought for 390 X
I honestly feel that the Adv-X is a good option. I don’t feel the need for any electronics. If you don’t like the MRF, you can upgrade. There are several options.
You have that story telling voice and ability brother. Forget about bike I was hooked on your story telling ability throughout the video 🔥👏🏼
Thank you 🙏
Hey @prameethprabhu !!
Thank you for this super honest vlog, it is such an eye opener and crashed all my big bike dreams in a positive way of course. I’m grateful to you to guide me so well, a real world dream that I can afford to live and enjoy. Cheers!!!!
Cheers buddy 🎉
Wow! That’s Passionate vlog , love it❤ keep going brother
Thank you
Hats off. Another adv X'er here. Similarly went through a process, but somehow my heart was seized by the pure performance to cost to weight ratio of the KTM. With the X version, it got even better and it was a done deal from day 1.
I Booked on 31st July, Paid the full amount on 8th Aug & got delivery with number plate at 6pm on the 10th. Took it straight to kodaikanal from the showroom post puja and it was a love at first ride. Unbelievably sound handling , braking, acceleration, cruising, maneuverability, and solid power to pull one out of any situation. Munching miles through the highways to save daylight time at the destination, has to be the best cost (time) saving one can have, given our busy schedules. 😅
I went up the ghats fully saddling and discovered the joys of an adv. the offroads to reach our destinations immediately allowed my X to show off her controlled aggression. I expected city commuting to be painful, but her lightness & handling just changes the game. I've made my peace with her taking up 3.8 bucks per km as fuel cost, apart from that this is a machine for anyone looking for a pure biking experience in the indian context. 😍
You should start vlogging man🙂
By the way congratulations on getting the X home. Happy miles
This is the best Motovloging Video Ever on UA-cam. Context is very relatable.
Thank you 🙏
Bro, what a story, i could see things happening in front of me as you were narratng the scenario. Loved your video. You just got a new follower. Ride safe. Cheers
Thank you 🙏
The way you narrated the story is just awesome. I saw the whole video just to listen to your story.
Thank you 🙏
I bought one from the same showroom this month, i got same day delivery. Truly love the experience
Whoa!! That’s super quick. Many congratulations and enjoy the ride
A perfect video ❤ Worth watching.
Thank you ❤️
This vlog sums up my total research I did all these years, my mindset and my choice of bike perfectly. I have to zeroed in on KTM ADV-X. Yet to purchase it.
Go for it. It’s a fab motorcycle
This video solved my entire confusion about which variant to buy in the 390 adv series
great video man, loved it
Thank you 🙏
I bought my first bike back in May 2016 , The BS3 Duke200 , over the years the spirit of biking has dwindled and I really didnt care much for bikes, However on 28th Oct , a friend of mine who was contemplating on getting an Adventure 250 asked me to accompany him to KTM showroom i cldnt resist testing the ADV 390 and boy was I blown away , the comfort , the refinement and the fun aspect with its lightness has me swayed away enough to be on UA-cam at 1:41 am , and thats when I discovered this video of yours brilliant narration , You earned yourself a subscriber . Will I be getting a KTM ADV 390? Only time will tell! Time to contemplate and make a decision wise enough 😁
Thank you. One of things I didn’t mention in the video is people getting carried away and buying a motorcycle without really having the passion to ride or travel on two wheels. So, evaluate your situation well and only then decide whether you want a motorcycle or not and if yes, which one. Good luck. I sure hope to see one more biker in the world.
Awsum story…great going bro…
Nice explanatory video on KTM adventure 399 X. You shd. be thankful to God for having such a supporting life partner. 💕👍👌
Thanks. I’m indeed grateful to have such a wonderful life partner
The eternally beautiful Kaggalipura route ❤
Absolutely. Nice flowing corners ❤️
The story telling is fantastic. Hats off
Such a beautiful yet simple video 🤌
Thank you 🙏
Very well presented...u have earned another subscriber
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this video ❤❤
Now I got more clarity on my decision. I’m planning for it😍
I was literally surprised at how RELATABLE that story was to me😅. I usually keep fantasizing and end up releasing something else. Good one!❤
It’s ok. When then time is right you’ll find yourself in alignment with what you desire. Till then, keep fantasising. It doesn’t cost a dime 😊
@@prameethprabhu 😅♥️💯
Buddy this is relatable with all and not just you.
@@SouthPawFramesyes buddy u r right 👍
bro the way you make the video is not upto the mark but the way you explain all detail thats really TOP NOTCH....... Really good explanation
Thank you. I’m still new to making videos. I will certainly work on improving the same. Thanks for watching and keep supporting ❤️
What a narration bro.. loved it ❤.. Subscribed 👍
Thank you
Fantastic narration and video ❤
Thank you 🙏
I got back on the saddle a couple of years ago after a liver transplant, I chose a Mojo because I always had a soft corner for the bike and got a wonderful deal on the exact model and colour that I wanted. I attended BOBMC Ridermania last month at Kanyakumari and took a ride through Vagamon before heading home to Bangalore. On this ride, a friend who was with me riding a 390 Adv, asked me to park his bike once. I had to take it out for a small 100 meter ride to park it, this was the first time that I rode the Adv and was impressed on how light it was (when comparer to the Mojo) and the power it had ( I realized this within 100 meters). Now the question is, should i wait for the new version which is already being spied all over the place. Loved the explanation and the thought process, was on the same lines that I think. Subscribed and watching all your videos now. 😊
Thanks so much 🙏🙏
If you liked the Adv-X, just pick it up. Life is not about waiting; its about living. The new model will surely come. When is a big question mark. I too had similar thoughts when buying my Adv-X coz the Himalayan 450 was around the corner. But i felt Adv-x fit the bill and there was no point waiting. Coz something better will always come along. We should make the best of what we have NOW. Good luck
It’s like I was looking for this story scrolling through UA-cam for days after riding 390adv x from a rental, and there it is the most convincing story to stick to
❤️
@12:00 exactly the requirement of many of us. This will definitely be a solution to many people ❤
About to buy ad.v 390x. I love how well you narrated it. I agree with you on all levels. However, I have an RC390 and six years later this bike still puts a smile on my face. Inspite of everyone telling me not buy it. So I lean towards learning by mistake. It's a beautiful process.
Also I have been riding Karizma over a decade now & I don't think any bike can replace it for me.
Go for it!! After 6 months and 10k km, I’m happy I made the right choice.
Appreciate your honest and heart felt narrative ❤
Thank you 🙏
Amazing information ❤ Thank you for cleaning real doubts
You are welcome 🙏
Even I bought Adventure X for this sole purpose. It just gets the job done, packed with a powerful engine and offers what is just necessary, cheaper than duke 390.
The more I think of SW version, the more I feel it is unnecessary. With the low suspension travel you would hardly being doing such jumps which could impart huge impacts on the wheels. Plus Adv390 is not that heavy either that the wheels would take such a beating.
Thanks a lot sir. 🙏 very informative 🤩
Thank you
Thank you so much for this Video...
Now I am clear myself which bike I want to.....🙏
Babu Mondal From Kolkata
Bike khub bhalo achi 😬 That’s how much I can manage Bengali
I too was in doubts.. you are right advs are the most practical motorcycle. in the roads and offroad. so I bought this baby finally.
Man, i just watch your video first time... N really felt it relatable... You're really a good story teller... Love the way you showcased ...i found it attached as we're almost on same age bracket..
keep up the good work as you are doing ...
Love from uttarakhand ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you. Next year I’ll be visiting Uttarakhand 🙂
You're most welcome bro
Nice story, it is interesting
Very well narrated....All the best 👍
Thank you
Awesome narration God bless very sensible logic
Thank you
Hey bro!!
I felt personally!! The review was honest and emotional♥️!!
I planned to buy an KTM but i have stucked with choosing KTM 250 gen 3 vs KTM 390 adv x
Thank you 🙏
Test ride both and decide. But most importantly, be clear about what you need the motorcycle for. Good luck
Nice and raw video you made, beautiful.. This is ur first video I saw, but you should vlog more often.. Cheers
Things you said about practicability of owning a right motorcycle, yes you said it right.. We are underrating the adv-x.. Thanks man, I am giving 2nd thought of need for Sw and use of it
Thanks you. I’m on it
Bro you’ve just earned a subscriber and my respect ❤️ waiting for it to come to Bangladesh.
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Thank you for such a brilliantly put video brother.Loved the narration and how one point just led to the other and the story continued.Subscribed for more such wonderful content.
One question,how is the pillion comfort on this one?
How comfortable will it be for pillions for long road trips?
Thank you 🙏
That’s one question I won’t be able to answer. Reason being I never took a pillion on the motorcycle for more than 2 KM and neither did I sit as a pillion for more than 1 KM. If you are considering taking a pillion along, I would recommend that you take a really long test ride of the 390 Adv (at least 50-100km) along with the pillion and then decide on the pillion comfort.
@@prameethprabhu Makes sense.
Thank you for the response.
Bro absolutely insightful and very considerate, review ❤
Thank you
Good rationale , I agree.
I currently own a Interceptor 650 Since 2019(upgraded from duke 200), covered long distances, what i miss if off-roading .
2-3 years from now i would do one of these 2 things ,
1) Upgrade to new KTM Adv, they are currently working 650cc parallel twin(co-dev by Bajaj/Indian made): this would means id have to sell by interceptor , as i don't think this will be anything less that 7.5lacs
2) or keep my interceptor for the roads and buy a secondary off-roader , like the currently in development 420cc DOHC Liquid cool rally spec hero dual sport
Adv 390. It is practical bike. I own it. Proud and happy about the purchase I made. 😊😊. Very nice review video 👍👍
Thank you
Great video. Simple is elegant.
Thank you
A silent thank you ❤
what a crazy analysis bro, I owned the first gen himalayan and had to sell it cus of MBA. On the lookout for a new adv since ages, test rode ninja, versys, trk etc and then finally rode the adv 390, felt 4.44 lacs on road in blore was too much and later felt triumph speed 400 was the answer to my prayers, went to keerthi triumph and was disappointed looking at the size of the bike, looked like a toy on me. Related so much with your video brother, ADV X is the way to go !!!! Buying 1 this week !!
Thank you. Yes. Even I felt that the Speed400 is very small in size for a 400cc motorcycle. In a way it’s good coz it’s gonna be nimble and easy to handle. Coming to the Adv-X - this is gonna keep you happy for a long time. Congrats on ur new motorcycle. Do connect on Instagram and keep me posted on your experience with the Adv-X
You conveyed the message perfectly. Great video.
PS: what does Sumant do for a living😅

U opened our eyes bruh❤
maaan really good vlog.. really loved the way the you talked about how you came step by step closer to the bike and explaining the reasons would open many people's eyes, including mine ... would love to meet you in-person someday... i too live in Bangalore/Bengaluru :) i am subscribing to you, just because of this 1 video... heartfelt one..
Thank you. My other videos aren’t too bad either 😉
