I'm 164cm not much a difference (still short)..im still able to ride on a KTM DUKE 250.. what the most matter was ..your skills, confidence and leg strength. Hope this helps
It is always an advantage to be 5.2ft and riding Duke 390, especially V2 as it will make your bike look bigger in terms of aesthetic. As for me, I'm 6.1ft and an owner to Duke 250 V2.5 (maybe V3), I make my bike looked 'meh' 😂 Maybe I need to save up a bit and upgrade to the upcoming 490. Maybe 790?
5.2 here and i think to much hard to get one for this summer for an only price 6,500$ CAN I can save my money and get it for this summer i just needed the License here we got ! :D
Right speed wit the right gear will give u less time to keep ur foot on the ground .i try to balance the bike for atleast not more than 5seconds it's fun.
@@Kickstandup Yours is still too little rider sag. Try to go to Min setting which is a huge step down in seat height and also improves static and rider sag. Yours is still too stiff. KTM fit a rear shock on these that is on an R1 or a GSXR1000 or a ZX10-R. This is crazy! If you hit any pothole or rough road surface withe factory preload of 5 it will try to launch you off the seat!
I'd recommend you to have a sit at the showroom first, either if the seat height is 830mm or 800mm. As of what I know, for some KTM bikes, they have different seat heights to cater to each country. Like the Adventure 390, Asian spec has slightly lower seat height.
Wow I never knew people had issues with the height of the 390 duke. For me I barely fit on it. It feels like a honda grom as where the much taller 1290 super duke r is perfect and I can still easily flat foot it. I am 6,5 though or about 198.12cm
Hello! Im a Malaysian. In order to install the side mirror on the handlebar, the clamp of the mirror need to be modified a little. Using sandpaper to make the hole bigger to fit the bar. Overall visibility is good but not great as I'm not able to see directly behind me, side is fine.

He is 5.2ft and still riding high height bike...it inspired me a lot...big fan✌️
How can i confidently reverse the bike?
Height is not s problem to ride any bike, but only the problem was to move back the bike, standing on traffic, turning on short roads.

This video gives confidence to grab Duke200. I'm 5'3.
btw, why not use lowering kit?

So many bikes in Malaysia. Such a great culture there.
same to same... 160 cm and duke lovers ...
Short motorcycle riders unite!!!!
that's very helpful, thanks for sharing my bro
I am 5.2 same height as you!! Do you think it will be better if i purchased the duke 200???
The seat height isn’t that much of a difference between both bikes. I suggest you to visit the showroom and try it on 👍🏻
@@Kickstandup thanks 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love from India ❤️❤️
I don't get how you'd ride with a passenger like that though, he would fall off at every stop
So far so good 👍🏻
Buddy is tip toeing😂
Hi im a short rider too. Even on 1 side i cant flat foot. Any tips how to reverse the bike?
Im 5'5 whenever i say i like that bike,my friends would say probably you cant reach the ground with your feet
Bro height doesn't matter inseam matters. What's your inseam
Thanks
I’m 180cm selalu susah dpt bike that fit me. I don’t like moped cause it looked small when I ride it.
I'm 156cm . U can have one of these too?
Depending on your inseam. Best to have a seat on it before doing the purchase.
@@Kickstandup Thanks man. I'll give it a try.
How can i reverse the bike without falling?
5.2 here and i think to much hard to get one for this summer for an only price 6,500$ CAN I can save my money and get it for this summer i just needed the License here we got ! :D

Are you able to move bike backward while on the bike?
Yeap, tip toe is still doable. But if theres a slope, then ill have to dismount. Hope it helps
Hey bro..
Plz give reviews on mirrors view experience….
Hi ! Mirror placement looks great, overall visibility is good but not great as I'm not able to see directly behind me, side is fine.
im 164cm ..Base on you video., my height can still ride a 82mm seat height bike with a lot of practise right?
Definitely

@@theaustralianconundrum you’re right about hitting pothole. Will try to adjust the preload. Thanks 👍🏻
How you control the bike while stop ? My first bike is Duke 250 n my height is 5.5 for me it's hard to control the bike while I stop the bike
I just use 1 leg to balance it. Over time, you will get used to it
How you reverse your bike ?
Good question. I’ll push with my legs. If I can’t do that, I’ll dismount and push with my body weight
My height 168cm I can manage and ride comfortable Duke 390 bike pls reply....🤝
can you flat foot it?
My height is 5'7
Should i go with the bs6 model??they say its seat height is 830mm..

Bike seat height is 820mm or 830 in google duke 390 seat height is 830
Google should be correct
823 mm real seat height
I had a look at the duke today. Its heavy for me but i think i just need to get used to it. I'm 5'2 aswell
You are right, it becomes second nature after 1 week.
I hope!! I wanted to ride n own a motorbike since i was a child. So heavy to turn haha
@@tezzdogger6073 Same! saved up since 9 years old for my first bike. One step at a time, don't rush it, you'll be comfortable sooner than you think.
Jesus 120 km/h im moving
My hight 5.2
Hi brother can you make a video on how is it to daily drive and can you take this bike and do some decent oftoading
Hi, I have a video of what to expect on this bike, but not offroad as I don't plan to do that and it is not meant for off road too.
Me also 168, 😂

Single it's okai u can handle...but with billion...let bet difficult 2 ride...
Just taken my rc 200 bs4 im 5.5 and not gonna lie its not a very comfortable position😂
Any plans to wrap ur bike... Otherwise just remove all the graphics on it... It looks awesome.. Try it once.. And thank me later😌
Maybe in the future when I think it’s time to spice things up a little? Because I kinda like how it looks for now.
The new vinyls are available at the ktm showrooms they look cool
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Duke 390 is not a tall bike 💀 try riding my exc lol
Not everybody is lucky to grow tall 😂
@@Kickstandup Very true haha but respect to all short rider sitting on huge bikes
