It's true. I'm giving away this KTM Duke 390 FOR FREE! Go here yammienoob.co
Fingers crossed
Pity im Australian Le'sigh :(
Sadly I am from india
Better not let chase see this
sadly im in Philippines
Honestly two amazing bikes and I think you can’t really go wrong with either, but Yamaha reliability would win me over. Cheaper maintenance, and fewer problems = happier broke boy.
I like the looks of the yamaha better as well.
I considered them both, but I bought the MT-03. Cheaper, reliability, and ABS.
I agree Yamaha is way more reliable. KTM is not very good in terms of reliability. Some parts of Duke do not last long.
Here as KTM is made so the Duke is considered super cheap, cost and maintenance wise ,super cheap.

The hell did all these long bois come from? It's like nobody's under 6' anymore. I'm 5'8" and the mt/r3 fits like a glove.

I feel you bro
I'm 5ft on tip toes the mt03 would be one foot down for me!!
Right there with yuh
EXACTLY!
Great review guys! Good to hear about seat heights of both bikes and how they fit riders. Not just 'beginners' bike though .....many of us older guys also want something light, not too high in the saddle and with some punchy fun....
"2 inches in the rear is all you need" That's what she said
Extra*
I bought an mt-03 over the duke mostly for the reliability. I've heard of issues like fragile oil pumps and burnt out heads on the duke while the R3/mt engine is fairly bombproof.
The duke is super fun and feels a lot more pokey, to me it feels almost like a motard while the rider position and high reving engine on the mt feels closer to sports bike.
The mt's suspension and brakes do leave a lot to be desired though.
Yeah it's because they using plastic gear to spin the oil pump,but they recall it but still using the plastic gear..... _-)
Really like the look of that MT-03
Learned to ride on my 2018 390 Duke. Great fun. Took delivery of my upgrade today... 2020 Street Triple RS!
Why tho that bike is worse than it's appears
jASKA jOKUNEN um the street triple is one of the best street bikes out.
Td4x4pwr I have the 2019 street triple r and that bike is awesome. I chose the r because I don’t plan on tracking the bike but the rs does seem cool as well
Td4x4pwr also that’s a nice upgrade congrats
Learned to ride on my 2018 MT03 and now riding a 2014 street triple R :)
We're like dark twins. Except you have more money hahaha
i've had a 390 for 3 years now. it's been a blast. i bought a used 1290, kept both for a season, sold the1290. not saying it's better, they do not compare. just saying that 390 was more suitable formy needs, i use the bike as transportation and the 1290 is a weekend warrior, not a commuter. i mean... if you're 6 feet tall and don't care about the huge fuel consumption and insurance and maintenance costs... and it doesn't get too hot in the summer where you live ,then maybe it could be a commuter fo you.
i live in rome (italy) and there's always traffic and the roads are all bumpy and when it rains the streets flood. the 390 never let me down, i rode it in 1 foot of water, i stand up on the pegs like on an enduro bike when the road is terrible or i have to go on and off sidewalks (yes we do park on sidewalks here) and i zip through traffic like i'm on a scooter.
i'm so sad they discontinued the 690 duke, it was the perfect bike for me but i don't wanna get one used cause i prefer having warranty. i love the little 390 but i'd like some more grunt. i think i'll go 890 cause i got a car now, work mostly from home, so i could use a less practical bike as long as it doesn't get clumsy in traffic and it doesn't use more gas than my freacking car. a little version of the superduke might be the right choice for now.
As a fan and as a z400 owner. I would love to see the comparison between the z and the Duke. Love the videos keep em coming
Me too
You guys are killing it with the content! 🙌🏾
“It’s too tiny look at my legs” my guy.... I don’t think you know this... but there are people in fact shorter than you.
I have a 29 inseam and the bike is too tall.
WTF???
My guy Shutup shorty
Yes, I don't get it? Two relatively tall guys riding entry level bikes and judging them based on how much they are like or unlike big bikes. There's an audience for most types of bikes, and the MT-03 probably wasn't intended for a guy who is 6'3" 230#. I sat on a 390 Duke, and it was the most uncomfortable seat I had ever experienced, other than some dirt bikes.
Nice bikes! I also love the classical music behind :)
Picked up the mt 03 a couple weeks ago. I was looking at the cb300r but the mt low seat height was a huge plus. Im 5' 5" with a 29 inseam and I can almost flat foot both feet. It is a fun bike and another thing not mentioned is its tank size 3.7 gallons and it's still light and easy to maneuver.
I bought the cb300f for my son. I would have bought the mt03 all day, if it would have been available at the time. The 300f is great, but i think the mt would keep his interest longer.
@@91camaro100 can you guys suggest any good website to buy helmet, gloves and jacket please ? Thank you in advance
All these guys who do reviews seem to be 6’ plus, which doesn’t help us average guys out one bit.
Reliability yamha
But my heart says ktm
Riding is hobby a feeling so i guess go with my heart.
the control and acceleration of 390 is unmachable. And it looks exotic too, it look like some beast when you actually look at it passing by . I got it last year, i ll choose it today and anyday.
@@amarjotsingh1191 Yes offcourse, and cry too. When the bike starting having problem. Face the heating issues.

Got a 2022 Duke, put around 600 miles on the clock and haven’t had any mythical KTM low mileage issues so *knock on wood* we keep it going. First bike and perfectly suited for my needs!
You can depend on Yamaha for being reliable and it will also keep its value more than the KTM.
I'd go with Yamaha, any Yamaha motorcycle built in the last 3 years has close to zero chance of it breaking down.
I’d prefer mt-03. Why? Reliability
i have mt-03 (2016), enjoying every singe ride
Keenan why can’t the mts handle corners ?
@@raffynko despite all the lack from yammie build the only one that stay is reliability. solid engine build

I'm glad I saw this. I was looking at the KTM 390 for my first bike but seems the MT-03 may be better. Well I'm going for my license in a few weeks so I'll keep looking.
Which one did you end up going with? I got the MT-03 and, as a first time rider, I love it. It’s so comfortable and isn’t overpowering for me. I do see what they mean about the brakes though lol Very squishy and no feedback
@@ScantSphinx9 I haven't got it yet, I'm waiting to get my endorsement but I have to wait another month due to appointment times.

Get an MT07... Don't waste time and money on 300s, you will be over them in couple months and will want more. In contrast, it took me 6 years to finally decide I want bigger bike and sold my FZ07....
@@pagadqs Alas I got the KTM 390 Duke already, and paid it off. So while yes I am starting to feel the limits it is still so much fun to ride. I think I will wait another year to trade up, thanks though.

Love ur vs series make these more often specially when u tell the comparison while riding couldnt find anything like that on youtube great job 👍
Been using Yamaha since 2015 the smaller displacement 150 the fz 150. Wanted to upgrade to duke 390 but Yamaha again gave a reason to stick with them the mt03
Had hoped to take a look at the MT-03, and our local dealer is sold out. I'm an older guy, and also a newly minted motorcycle rider. (Well, once had a Honda CB200, but that was decades ago.) I don't even like the look of most modern bikes, but that Yamaha looks really cool, in even in my "Boomer" eyes. And the price? Wow. I'm sure the Duke is more fun, but I'd bet that the Yamaha would be more durable and trouble-free choice.
I rode my bike yesterday along the coast in norther cali and it was soo freaking nice to have the whole hwy to myself since people are freaking out about the coronavirus😂😂🤣😂
Great video keep up the great work
Thanks for the video alot of great info It's been a few years since I owned a bike ( 07zx6r), looking at the MT03 to ride around town.
Maybe a Z400 too would be great.
This was really informative, I'm opting for the Duke as a first bike!
I just bought mine as my first bike, really lightweight and fun, and pretty punchy on the accelerator :))
Thanks guys I love y'all show
Thank for the suggestion 👍👍
You forgot to add in the price of a bike trailer for the KTM so you can bring it home when it breaks down on you.
Done 9,300 with zero issues on my 17 Duke

Naked Yama baby will always be my guilty pleasure. Rossi forgive me
This might be me but one thing I found about Yamaha's MT series is where they place the horn button (its annoying).
Seriously, they made it like a standard to put the damn horn button far enough that it forces you to move your hand just to reach it.
He said “cheaper than everything else on the lot except dirt bikes” and that struck a nerve lol. As a former dirt bike rider; I know they are NOT cheap. Unless you’re buying kid’s bikes. Adult bikes are expensive as hell. A YZ450F’s MSRP is over $9,000. Which is insane. You can get an MT-07 for $7k.
I bought an mt03 because of how expensive dirt bike were. I put knobbies on the mt and now I take it through trails and get a lot of weird looks
@@dijonmustard961 that’s pretty badass actually haha. But a little crazy
The one to review for the north American market is the Husqvarna Svartpilen.
It's a brilliant bike. Same engine as the Duke, made by the same organisation, KTM parts in it, BUT when you're riding it you are sat straight. You're don't feel like you're kneeling down with the belief that your about to somersault over the handlebars if you hit a bump or brake sharply.
Really good video man wow hit all check marks for me

Classy guys: Motorcycles and J.S. Bach. Great review!
I sat on both of them and with 6"3 the MT 03 was way to small. I ended up buying the 390 Duke and Im glad I chose the Duke because its soooooo awesome to ride. Cranked 2k miles in 2 weeks no problems so far.

With the nice weather I am enjoying riding my 2017 Kawasaki x300 Versys and my 2013 KTM Duke 690 Supermoto. Today I rode both of them back to back and delighted in discovering the attributes of each of these wonderful motorcycles. Here is my evaluation: My Kawasaki seems like a Rolls Royce compared to the KTM Duke. It's engine is much smoother and much more quiet. The clutch throw is much softer but has a longer pull. I like the gear shifting on the KTM best. It is a bit clunky but has a short positive throw and more precise clicking into gear. The clutch is fast and positive. The KTM has way more power and acceleration than my Kawasaki. But that is an unfair comparison considering that the Duke has more than twice the displacement. The guages and features are far nicer on the Kawasaki. I like the gear position indicator and the fuel gauge that Kawasaki offers. The KTM has a far more comfortable seat compared to the Kawasaki. However, the seating position of the Kawasaki is much nicer than the KTM. Both are fairly tall motorcycles. I recently lowered my Kawasaki 1-1/2" which I highly recommend if you are shorter than 6 feet tall. My Kawasaki feels better balanced than the KTM, but only slightly. The KTM has so much torgue, so less down shifting is required. Just twist the throttle and go in any gear. The Kawasaki has a very high revving engine. It takes 7,500 rpm to cruise 65 mph. The KTM rarely needs more than 4,000 rpm. The Kawasaki engine internals sound smooth as silk. The KTM sounds like it is grinding bolts internally. The KTM has a very jerkey low range, not very tractable. The Kawasaki is the opposite. Very smooth. Both motorcycles shine in the twisties and curves. Both motorcycles are very flickable. The KTM may have a slight edge in handling but overall I prefer the ride of the Kawasaki. My final impression is that both motorcycles are wonderful, the Duke for it's torque and power, the Kawasaki for it's dual sport smoothness. If I could own just one or the other I would keep the Kawasaki for it's Rolls Royce build quality, smoothness, handling and quietness.
Honda CB300 R, which I put 11K hard rowdy miles on before moving up to my Triumph Street Triple 675 Rx, is an awesome bike. My vote for best in that class by a mile.
The most helpful and very entertaining comparison video I've ever watched so far
The Duke is a fun bike. My buddy has one and it’s a blast to ride.
MT-03 is designed for asian market, that is why it's a short bike.
No !!! Is europeen market bro !!!! Is a big bike for 300 cc
I'm 6"1 and have the '19 mt03, not cramped for me. Maybe the' 20 is a smaller bike. I have no problems getting my knees comfortably tucked under the tank
Mark Elms is the motorbike rewarding enough for you? Is it doing more or less than this real cylinder?
not the MT-25 ?

One thing I don't here alone about in videos like this is longevity and durability on these nakeds. Like how long from show room floor until I start seeing problems how many slow or at speed falls can it take before it's too much
that fly by at 18:21 cracks me up.
I love my Duke 390. I'm 6'4" so I probably look a bit ridiculous on it but I'm comfortable enough and it's such a fun little machine.

I'd go for the yamaha, it's calmer, so I would guess it's nicer for a daily. Also comfort is higher on my priority list and I like the looks of it! I love the sound of the Duke though, and being more playful is cool. But for me, it comes down to reliability. Cool comparison, very helpful.

You should repeat that same test on the 125cc‘s maybe not relevant for the US but highly for Europe and Asia as they get bought like crazy over here. And of course you will receive the UA-cam Medal of Honor for that!
If I would get chance to choose from these two baby beast, I shall go for KTM. Although Yamaha mt 03 is also one of the most finest bike and rival to his categories but my choose will be KTM. Big fan😍
Solid note, the ktm rider is a big guy. That bike would whip a smaller guy like me around.

"Everybody wants low displacement bikes" excuse me sir do you mean: "Because of rules everybody under the age of 24 in europe is obliged to low displacement bikes."?
Not the whole world is centered around you Europeans quit complaining and just watch the video
Last time I checked the world wasn't centered around the US either. Just cry over your health system and watch the video.
The thing is being in a medium size southern European country a 300cc bike is a great commuter.
@@thesaltypanda1160 Youre right, the world is not built around us as much as it isnt about you, but Its still fact that these bikes are only so popular in europe because we are not allowed to ride bigger bikes if younger than 24 (or 20 if you made the middle motorcycle license at 18).
Meanwhile in idiotic Croatia you can only drive 50cc without having to go to driving school again.
Hi guys!
I would love to see a review from you on the husqvarna 401, vitpilen and svartpilen !

It's the KTM Duke all day long for me. It's a premium quality machine & feels it. The Yamaha is budget & looks oversized, oddly proportioned & the tail unit should be smaller & sharper imo.
papa yammie I saw a triumph ad before your video... Is this the message
Duke Fanboys where are you at..???
