I own a 23' model with currently 10600 miles, and ir literally does it all! Its my daily but ive used it for track days and I weekend ride it in the canyons. And ive put a ton of work into it that makes me proud!
I have the Husqvarna version of this bike (Vitpilen 401) and agree it's a great bike to start on. I saw your post on SEQ motorcycle riders yesterday (How I found your channel), I'm on the sunny coast and some of my favorite rides are the Obi Obi/Maleny run and the Bellthorpe range. I'll have to try and get a bit further south and try some of the roads you get to they look pretty good.
Thanks for checking it out! Beautiful up that way, have been meaning to ride up to Maleny. The main route down here is the Mt Nebo - Mt Glorious, it's a good stretch
It is a good bike but it is too light. I rode it with a moderate crosswind and the side front fairing catches the wind and makes you lose front end grip
The best beginner bike is a used one because you are going to drop it, this will cost six grand and a you can pick up a good second hand learners for half the price. My 1st road bike was a second hand GPZ250, Ride safe and enjoy:)
Probably the best sportsbike for the public roads. Even in track that looks like a lot of fun. I want one now. They are on a big discount right now too 😂 at least where im from. Might sell my heavy ass benelli for this
Comfort and reliability is what isn’t practical about this bike. However, value, extra, looks and fun factor still makes it worth considering from an emotional point of view.
hey brother, love from india, one ques, im confused between the rc390 and the ninja 400, im 6'2 so i dont like how the sitting position on the ninja gets crampy, so im inclined towards the rc but the engine on the ninja is twin cyl wud that be that big of a thing to consider ?????? i like the ninjas engine a BIT better but the rcs ergos wayy better,,,, what shd i do
Thanks for the support mate :) Nah it's not that big of a deal mate, best thing to do is to sit on them and the one you prefer is the one to get. I personally think the engine is better in the Kawi, but the KTM handles better. You won't go wrong with either!
They're probably good motorcycles in their own way, but there's no way I'm going to ride an orange motorcycle. I'd have to paint it to be proud of it. p.s. They are sold at a good price; just consider painting it.
KAY TEE YUUUMMMM

Does the seat height become a bother?
That’s my bike in India ❤ really the only bike id need for our conditions in terms of power. Easy to chuck around, easy to manage. A sweet deal ❤
Sounds like a great bike for where you are!
Great to see you back!
Great to be back!
Beautiful footage of the ktm ❤ this is a great review and underrated channel

After watching this video, I bought this exact bike from Bowen hills. Amazing so far
Haha that’s awesome! Congrats on the bike!
Did you mention the video when you bought it?
Glad to hear you’re loving it!
@@Kwackajackdidn’t get the chance to but when I head back I will haha. Great review by the way!
I ain't gonna lie
This looks even better irl
Looks like a great and fun bike
It was a treat!
Besides good performance, i think is very pretty
hey Jack... is reliability still an issue with most KTMs?
It is a good bike but it is too light. I rode it with a moderate crosswind and the side front fairing catches the wind and makes you lose front end grip
This is a good point, a lot of light little bikes like this have this happen

Where did you get the Fuel Tank protection from?
Good review ✌️ may i know your height btw ?
Sure, have a look on the channel for a video i did 'Will you fit on the Ninja 400?'. Will answer all of your question :)

Not reliable? 😢 thought about it for a daily

How can you say that older one looks better ???
That exhaust sounds like an mtx
The 2024 version is even better.
Relax dude
Woosah

I think the orange and black stands out in the best way! Actually love the colour scheme👌
I have to agree it helps the concept ''Ride Like Your Invisible''. @@shannonleaver7974
I love the orange. I call mine pumpkin.
