- KTM 390 Duke Review
www.revzilla.com/common-tread/...
Like Mighty Mouse in angular Orange armor, the 2015 KTM 390 Duke puts a lot of gusto into a compact package. With class-leading power that is generated from the crisp 373cc single-cylinder engine, the 390 Duke is a testament to the moto-prowess of the KTM designers, engineers, and manufacturers. As a lightweight, fleet-of-wheel option that works extremely well as an introductory ride or around-town commuter, the Duke infuses the space in between Point A and Point B with equal parts nimble agility and uniqueness of aesthetic. In this full video review, Spurgeon hits the suburban streets to show the performance capabilities of the 390 Duke before stepping into the garage to explain some of the best upgrades you can make to get the most out of the ride.

best audio in helmet i ever heard and great review
PKL RIK lol no it's not.
PKL RIK Mm, no worries, I appreciate you admitting your mistake, most people would just insult me. Cheers for being cool.
Yeldur, I don't want you to feel left out this time, it's not good for one's ego, so consider yourself "insulted", and have a great day ; ).
UA-cam wouldn't feel right without it, I appreciate your assistance in this matter!
Yeldur,
My pleasure to be of assistance ; )
Love all the cars in reverse at 2:54 =P
You sir, have a eagle eye. I didn't even notice the cars in reverse when I was editing this video.
+ItsMeHammie I love these kinds of shots, really funky when you examine them but only a hand few of people notice them in the actual video! :P
+Dustin Carpio Superb editing sir! The cutaways matched the narration perfectly.
I like how you went from reviewing the bike...to giving us general beginners tips.

Where do I start? Hmmm, likable reviewer, awesome production quality, subtle but tasteful advertisements of the gear worn and lastly you made a solid relatable daily rider review. And yeah, I dig the pink RayBan. Dope across the board.
+CLUTCH1ST They are RayBan knock offs, only $12 bucks! When I buy the expensive ones I lose them or sit on them, but for some reason the cheap ones last forever... Knock on wood... Thanks for watching!
I agree, RevZilla does the best bike reviews. Thanks guys, I love this bike. But I'm gonna start on a Suzuki S40 cruiser and then over the winter, strip it and turn it into a cafe racer with the Ryca kit
+ashrafc That sounds awesome! Take photos and tag @RevZilla on Instagram so we can follow along with the build!
+CLUTCH1ST I don't like your pink sunglasses even if your Bruce Jenner.
+CLUTCH1ST You mean like Dopey in "Snow White", CLUTH1ST?
While watching this excellent video, I would develop questions. You answered them as though mentally connected. You gave information while riding. Plenty of visuals of the bike both stationary and in motion. None of the boring walk-arounds we see so much. You even discussed inexpensive mods an owner can do. I don't see a single weakness in this production; Great Job!!
twosence fromcleveland I can't agree enough!
I have 4 decades of riding including 2 decades of racing dirt & tracks. Bought the 390 Duke and got 12, km last summer. Juste love the bike... Light, handles like a charm, fun power that keeps you within the speeding limits, and cheap to buy. I had several problems with the cooling system, but great KTM service and the bike seems to run great now. I grew up on the 500 600 650 XL & XR and the power of that that little bike feels like a old XR 650 on steroids.
That was the most well done review of anything I've ever seen. Clearly laid out, articulate, high def, with classy gear advertisement that did not take away from the purpose of the video. People from other industries need to see this to see a review and product overview done right. Thank you for this!
First video I've seen from you guys and I love it. It was super unbiased and gave me some critical info that I wanted to know since I'm looking at getting into riding.
You guys gained my sub and business!
Wow, i'm amazed at whole quality and editing of this video, even host is nice, everything is clear and well spoken.
I started riding this year and I ride a ktm 390 duke. So far its been a blast! Thanks for the video RevZilla!
Man, Revzilla just keeps getting better and better. Love the review, and article. You'll always be my # 1 choice for apparel/gear and now even reviews
I have to say you guys give THE MOST DETAILED REVIEW! Which I really love! where no one does!
This is one impressive video...beautifully shot, well paced, and oh yeah... nicely narrated with just enough content. Well done, well done.
There's something I love about revzilla reviews.It might be the the actual reviewers giving relevant info without going overboard
but honestly I think its the nostalgia and "coolness" of seeing familiar roads I have ridden.
I've been interested to get my first bike and wanted something sporty looking and landed on this video. You guys covered every topic and every question I had. This was amazing to watch and really have set my decision on getting this bike. Amazing job!
Literally the best KTM 390 review on UA-cam! Good job and I love the detail about some of the finer (but important) things like the levers and also the shifter. It's good to know that those problems can be mostly fixed. thanks for an open and honest review!
Another super review!
I wish any one else who wants to post a "professional" review had to make it as good as what you guys do! I don't necessarily mean the technical gear, but the fully explained thoughts and the way you guys draw comparisons and contrasts with other bikes. PLEASE keep up the great work!
We've come a long way since those OldSkool Infomercials. Awesome Video Review!
Ok guys that was an amazingly good quality review. I love the way you guys seamlessly switched to the focused part of the bike without cutting to another clip. Keep it up.
I'm getting a kick of you guys highlighting the different Philly hoods. Mount Airy is definitely super photogenic. Keep up the good work!
Great review. From the video quality, to the camera angles, audio, editing, music, everything about this video was a work of art, and the review itself was great, so I'm definetely thinking about getting this bike next year.
These bike reviews that you guys do are the best on UA-cam. More please :)
Fantastic review, the best I've seen yet, well done. I am in the market for a Duke 390 but no dealers have any in stock so I can't get a feel of its size. Finally after watching and reading dozens of reviews someone finally noted how TALL they were. THANK YOU.
saw this and was eager to see what you thought. The levers are almost always a cost cutting location on the value oriented bikes. Nice to see a quick and easy fix for it. I'm a fan of all things Austrian (Glock, Kasekrainer, Mozart, victorian era coffee shops, and of course KTM!) I personally found the naked style bike a lot better when I was first starting to ride years ago. The more upright position and handlebar leverage prevented a few embarrassing drops of the bike!
Also the pink shades rock!
The logical flow to this review is fantastic. Been a few years since I've had a bike, and the KTM duke is lookin' mighty nice!
I'm considering this for my second bike, and I must say this was a great review. Keep it up fellas!
feel free to make these reviews longer, when they are this good i really don't mind, just let me get some popcorn first
I loved this review, camerawork, script, everything. Got my subscription.
Very impressive camera work. Great audio too.
Seriously, you guys make some of the best bike reviews and supply the best consumer information. I don't think anyones really doing it much better. MotoVloggers are fun and sometimes are really great but these excel for sure. I hope they keep coming.
Revzilla production quality is outstanding. Great review!
Was expecting just another bike review video, was pleasantly surprised! Thanks :D
I'm an avid rider who grew up in the Titusville area. Seeing your videos takes me back to some great memories
I am going to be riding again after a 20 years hiatus and a bit weak lower back. My 19yo son will get his motorcycle license soon this year. I wanted to buy a 2014 Honda CB500F, considered a 2018 Benelli Leonchino 500, forgot myself when I sat on a Yamaha MT-07, but considering price, weight & size, power & torque, and handling, I am going to get this KTM Duke 390 V1 ABS. It should be a good bike for me and my son as our first bike. Afterwards, add the Yamaha MT-07 once my son can handle it.
Such a professional non-hesitating video you pulled out, great job!!!
Probably the best bikereview i've seen in years. I have just decided, after much hesitation, to get a motorcycle license and are looking at the 390 at a beginners bike. You mention every single aspect of owning a bike for beginners, helpfull tips like the sadle bag, what tools to get and generally how the bike will feel for a beginner. I've looked at the 690 aswell but i feel like the 390 will be better for my beginning career, the 690 might be a bit much and having a nimbler bike will make it possible to try out different aspekt at lower speed.
Keep up the good work!
Nice to see this perspective. In India, where this is made btw, (also build quality is fairly phenomenal) this would be considered an upgrade after learning on a 100cc-150cc 12 bhp machines. Right now the growth market is 300-750 cc performance and leisure motorcycles out here. I wonder if you guys would get your hands on something called the Mahindra Mojo.
+Ravi Ochani I doubt we'd be able to get a Mahindra Mojo here in the US. So far, Mahindra only sells tractors and side-by-sides (XTV) here! -DrewZilla
I picked up one of the first dukes to come to Australia and I agree with the gear lever it does feel clucky but I found throttle response to be good and I grew to like it because it encouraged me to keep the revs up.
This was an outstanding video. It was well shot, it answered all of my questions, and it was easy for a newbie like me to follow along. Thanks for cutting through some of the crap. Keep up the great work.
@RevZilla You guys do the best reviews with such crisp quality and you never leave any info out Great Work!
+Alex Jeffery Thanks! We are lucky to have one hell of a team working on these.
The production value of this video was AMAZING! Thanks for the info, I think you just sold me on the 390 as my first bike.
I be been considering one of these KTMs for my commute to work. I’m also 6’3 so you answered my main concern over this bike. Nice to have a bike reviewer who’s a proper height!
I wish I had seen this film when I started riding bikes back then! Extremely informative indeed! Well done! :-)
Just amazing and TOP review. I have the 125cc for about 5 years and I'm very happy...390cc in my garage will be a dream!
BTW: Those cars in reverse are LOL
Great video and review. Hopefully this will be the format moving forward, very well thought out. Excellent commentary by Spurg. Are we going to see more videos like this?
How in the world does he get such perfect camera shots? Friggin bravo! excellent video.
You guys give product info on everything BUT the bitchin' pink specs!!
In all seriousness, mad props to you all for making a review brand that not only is shot great (seriously, well done to whomever is shooting and editing these things), but also integrates your site in a way that isn't intrusive. I'll definitely be back.
Hands down best review I've ever seen. The different types of camera angles made a huge different vs the usual rider POV. still debating between this one and the FZ-07 tho lol
Jesus Revzilla just pumps out quality content ... love it.
You guys are the best Motorcycle reviewers ever. Like the tips are very helpful and the information is very informative. Thanks dude
Thank you RevZilla..... I got a good review about DUKE 390 from this video than the others...
great stuff. Best review I have ever seen here on youtube, thank you
Bravo! This review was so good it made me want a Duke. Well done.
Luiz xtxtMa cDdr312@ zeeawaxingyes
Thanks Spurg, great review. Really enjoyed it.
I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS REVZILLA. I LOVE ORDERING PARTS AND HELMETS, etc AS WELL. REVZILLA U RULE
Awesome review. This bike is at the top of my list now. I'm trying to come home with a new bike this weekend so I gotta decide quickly. Thanks for the help.
This is a well done review, with practical answers to issues that matter. Waaay better than is typical. Thanks.
Beautiful Philadelphia! One of the many reasons I love RevZilla.
this was one of the best review for this product i've seen so far.
Great review! I love the camera angles too!
Love the action camera idea on this one guys! thumbs up.
Very well done! I have been riding for forty years and I really enjoyed this. You cover it all in a very low key manner. Thanks so much.
That's a pretty polished review. I was set on one of these for awhile but didn't buy and I'm glad I spent the extra $2k on an FZ-07. That said, I would have been happy with the Duke or one of its competitors like the R3.
I’m honestly sad you guys don’t have more subs, so underrated
Yet another outstanding and first class review/road test by the most capable Motorcycle "Journalists" out there. Thanks to all at Revzilla for sharing.
I've been thing of getting the duke. Good review
this was really fun to watch because I have a KTM Duke 125 myself which has the exact same frame
*JUST AWESOME!!*
Great review man. Very unique style, full of quality.
I ALWAYS appreciate you and Lemmie.
great quality video, amount of work really shows
Man Im glad you mentioned how tall you are because I was wondering since the bike looks tiny with you on it :)
Just another great video from you guys!.
Super in depth review I like this!
great review. totally gave me some insight into this bike and really swayed my opinion on getting it. I was concerned about going from my 500 to a 390, but the duke just makes so much more power even though its smaller. and on the plus side it lighter!
Colton Saenz that's what I was wondering, how would this compare to the Honda cb500f in torque and power? I like the cb500, but if this made more power..I'd drop down a few cc's and get this instead. I don't know how true this, but I had someone tell me they test rode a cbr500 and the Yamaha r3 and the yami was faster. That's kind of crazy..you'd think the Honda would be more powerful given its a 500 but..I dunno?
Brilliant video. The review is really good.
From 1:16 on, there was a lot of "This is gonna be...", "That's gonna be...", "That's gonna give you..." but you're describing things that "actually are" not something that is going to happen in the future. It just sounds strange. You're doing a better job than I probably would, I just felt it worth mentioning.
great review no BS and best helmet mic sound ever heard.
I'm getting one. Thanks that was the best review...ever!
Great video! I'm thinking to get this bike or Honda Cb300f, I like more KTM but bike for me need to be easy to use because I'm really noob in motorcycles just starting and this video helps me with decision in the future! Awesome!
thank you ....been of great help can't thank you enough
Very good review; kudos! I would really like to see the 2016 KTM 690 Duke Review. I like that you showed a few accessories installed. You may have wanted to tell us that whatever tool you buy, they need to be metric to work on the KTM's, and not imperial.
great job guy's that was a really nice review
Solid review! I like how in US this is considered a starter bike. And in Singapore its something we have to have at least a year of riding experience to get.
+sooriyah007 That's an interesting perspective. At 6'3" and 210lbs I can't imagine starting with anything smaller than this.
Haha! Then you're lucky you're not starting off here:) Thanks for the review mate!
As an experienced (30year) rider I have a Duke 390 which I commute 62 km everyday. It is my fave bike ever. Light n responsive. Fantastic!
Dudes what do you say? Does Revzilla take top honors in the Motorcycle Riders Choice Award for product video reviews? Hell ya!
I have a 2016 390 Duke with a gel seat, new levers and Black Widow exhaust, I also changed the gear shift lever and brake levers. I'm doing the spal fan and engine ice coolant tomorrow to fix any heat problems here in Florida during Summer months. Let me say it's a really fun bike that pulls hard through ALL the gears. And with the exhaust it sounds nasty.
Great review and editing (Subscribed)
This is such a great review, not only looking at the beginner rider, but also the seasoned rider. Really considering getting myself one. Keep up the good reviews! +RevZilla
Give this a quick read. -DrewZilla

Great read!!! Now i'm even more convinced on downgrading from my SV650 to a little DUke 390, as I mostly do commuting.
Good review, I'm a little sad I've gone to far down the rabbit hole to want to even buy a low cc bike. My 599cc (non ss) is what I'd call adequate power now. They're making so many good 300-500 cc bikes now.
My first bike was a '07 Hyosung GT650r. I loved that bike, still missed her
Best review ever dude!! Greetings from Mexico (Y)
excellent review! well done
I think I saw Kelly drive and/or Roosevelt Blvd if I'm not mistaking. Love you guys. Nice and local and I get my stuff in 2 days!
We had this bike in driving school, quite unconfortable (for me) but drives very vell and, like you said, perfect for beginners :)
Excellent Review
not a fan of the bike but you are great at what you do and for that I subscribe great review
2 min into the vid and allready Subt! Great content keep it up
This is some quality content! Feel like I'm watching Top Gear.
I'm looking at a 2020 BMW G300 R, KTM Duke 390 and the Kawasaki Z400. I'm leaning towards the Duke
amazing best review ive seen online!! 10 stars
Great vid!. Nicely done.
