    IT was such an amazing experience to do a full road test review of this bike for my channel and then right after that I wanted to see your review, glad to see that you have done an amazing job, and mentioned a lot of things in a shorter duration.

    I would REALLY like to see reviews include coat of ownership data, like maintenance schedules, etc. I know this information comes more from a long-term test sort of thing, but estimates should would be nice. I'dbe great to know if an average owner can do their own periodic maintenance, like valve adjustments, as well as how often those are recommended. Nice vid though, you guys do a great job!

    I'm pretty mad about my 2016 duke 390 experience. I really liked the bike and wish things could have gone better. in the months that I had it, I put almost 9000 miles on it, and followed the break in and maintenance schedule. right after the 2nd maintenance visit, something bad happened to the engine. I think I blew a head gasket or something. the bike was overheating badly and worse than that, the dealer wasn't going to fix it under warrantee. BS. I wound up trading the duke 390 for an sv650 off craigslist. the sv's a better bike than the '16 duke 390, but I have to admit that the '17 duke looks really good, with the improved computer, dash, etc. I think the biggest area for improvement woult be better dealer support. AND MAYBE SOME KIND OF REFUND FROM KTM OR SOMETHING, jeez. i'll be sour on this issue for many years.

    • @matthewgarcia2330
      @matthewgarcia2330 7 лет назад +10

    • @D0t0ne
      @D0t0ne 7 лет назад +4

      KTM will never learn their lesson, they will keep on selling substandard bikes with great engine and chassis. Dont expect them to resolve any issues the previous generations were suffering from, they will gladly carryon selling over price pieces of junk. Case and point Duke 690.

    • @D0t0ne
      @D0t0ne 7 лет назад +1

      It most probably already have, its just a matter of time. Most probably the airbox seals are already done for along with fuel tank seals.

    • @D0t0ne

      Actually its a good idea, may be I should do one over at KTM Duke 390 forums, although there are several such threads there already.

    • @D0t0ne
      @D0t0ne 7 лет назад +8

      Briefly, bike is literally falling apart and I am not even a rough rider. Timely services, with under 25k on the clock from leaking fuel tank seals to completely obliterated airbox and by far the most dangerous front Axel threaded nut completely sealed because of again, leaked seals. None of the so called KTM mechanics could even determine the problem and only once the front wheel started to wobble they decided to try opening the front wheel.
      Honestly, every KTM 390 both Duke or RC owner I know have stories to tell. No matter how much I care for it, but you just can not over come bad design issues and shoddy workmanship, hence it is literally falling apart.

    Right now I have KTM Duke 125cc 2013 and I have no problems with it :)
    I'm about to sell it and buy this Duke 390cc 2017 because it just looks awesome and it feels like a right bike to me :)

    engine size does not determine beginner - some of the big heavy bikes can't do much of anything while a 250cc mx bike can fly through the air do a flip and land again - in the twisties a lighter smaller bike can be better to flick around than a heavy liter bike.

      India has great highways where even KTM 390 feels under powered. Bigger Bikes are more fun on highways.
      But in city roads, big bikes are useless.

  • @TheSeedform
    @TheSeedform 7 лет назад +1

    Would you prefer this to the scrambler 62? If so why? Which would be better for longer distances? (Ex. 4-5 hour trips on I-95)

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  7 лет назад

      The KTM is lighter, so it's more nimble in the city and on back roads. The Ducati is a bit bigger and heavier, which is a bit more stable on the highway. Both bikes are pretty small, though, so neither is the best for long distance highway riding. If most of your riding is on the highway, then the Scrambler is probably the better option. For back road handling, though, I'd go with the KTM. -DrewZilla

    Hello there, thanks for the review. I want to ask to questions. ¿Is the any wind screen that fits good on this bike? ¿How god or bad would this bike develope on bad higways? While Riding in Mexico you may find some bad roads.

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  7 лет назад +1

      This bike is designed mainly for countries with mediocre roads, so the suspension is pretty good for that. As for a wind screen, we don't have a good recommendation for this new model yet. -DrewZilla

    • @SpurgeonDunbar
      @SpurgeonDunbar 7 лет назад +3

      eidrag nope. KTM had the Akra exhaust system on certain models to showcase what was available from their catalog. The bike I rode had the stock exhaust on it but unfortunately the only footage we had access to was shot on the bike with the accessory exhaust.

    • @RealOrbit-Australia
      @RealOrbit-Australia 7 лет назад

      Matthew Garcia I have the older Duke. stuck an K N filter and open intake cover from MNNTHBX and it sound like a beast! Everyone thinks there's a pipe on it...it's actually very loud . You can hear it from two streets away...I was gonna buy a pipe but now I'm thinking maybe not!

    • @ravoid36
      @ravoid36 7 лет назад

      i agree with you and the only solution is adding another cylinder. But another cylinder will take away acceleration and add to the service cost. The bike should sound fine with akra though

    @m.rraghav817 7 лет назад

    Hey guys, Any idea why honda is'nt bringing the 250rr to the USA? they only sell the 250r here in india as they dont see a market for 250-500cc bikes,they seem happy with the mass moped sales, but USA seems a better bet vs the RC 390,R3, and Ninja 300, just a query, has anyone asked honda whatup with that?

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  7 лет назад

      Honda made the 250RR for those countries where bikes over 250cc are heavily taxed. Here in the US, people go from 250s/300s up to 600s and 1000s. There's no incentive to make an expensive 250 when people can buy a cheap 600. -DrewZilla

    • @m.rraghav817
      @m.rraghav817 7 лет назад

      RevZilla wat if it comes as a 350rr, still your getting the only race technology on a sub 400cc category, I guess they are non answering on why they won't bring the bikes , similarly with Yamaha's attitude in india on the 400-800cc category, even the fz09 .

    • @RevZilla

    @jjpanduro1673 7 лет назад +1

    To me personally, like a KTM passion lover, the new version is estetically ugly than the previous version. I´m happy have new technology and advances but to me, only the rear section of the bike is more beautiful and desirable. I won´t change my 2015 with all the improvements I putted on it for any new 2017, I don´t like the front, the lights are too low, and the console is too big, which make the front very ugly to me, I appreciatte the new better improvements but estetichaly, I prefer the old version.
    For those that don´t trust in KTM as a brand, mine got more than 3.000 miles and runs better than ever. It´s a fun bike, very economic and for all purpouse...That´s my personal opinion...

    So, KTM has revised the 390 Duke. Are we going to see these same refinements come to the RC 390?

    Would this bike feel like a downgrade coming from a 2005 R6? Has LED lights, Bluetooth control, and KTM awesomeness.

    Which tires comes at stock

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  7 лет назад

      It might depend on your country which tires come stock, but it's usually the Metzeler M5 or M7 RR tires. -DrewZilla

    How was the seat like?

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  6 лет назад

      Spurgeon found it much more comfortable than the previous version: _"The seat itself has also been redesigned to be a bit wider at the back and narrower at the front. It’s night and day more comfortable than the previous version, which felt like sitting on a 2x8."_ Hope this helps! -DrewZilla

    How is the mileage bro Duke 390. The bike was my dream, i will definitely buy the bike... But, I have 2 problem's 1st one the mileage and the 2nd one is the maintenance cost of the bike... Help me bro how is the Mileage and i spend 2.5 lak in the bike it is worth or not.. Reply me soon waiting for your reply 😋

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  7 лет назад

      Spurgeon only rode it for a short period of time, so he wasn't able to test fuel mileage. As for maintenance cost, the maintenance cost and parts cost is less in India than it is here in the United States, so it'd difficult to know what it will cost you. -DrewZilla

    • @Bobby-fx3ee
      @Bobby-fx3ee 7 лет назад

      My friend having old Duke 390 he told me i spend 15,000 per month for maintanence.. Don't buy Duke 390 it's maintanence cost is very high my friend told is it true ??

    • @RevZilla
      @RevZilla  7 лет назад +1

      Maintenance can cost more, as some maintenance procedures require removing the entire engine from the frame. -DrewZilla

    It's great that they have finally done away with the old front end... it was so ugly! It's a bike that looks aggressive, without being aggressive at all.

      @malek5003 7 лет назад

      Thank you! That front end was sooo gross on the old 390...I'm hoping they do the same with the 690 eventually, the TFT Display is nice but I've always been a fan of regular old speedo/Tach

    • @rotaryenforcer
      @rotaryenforcer 7 лет назад

      they're getting rid of the 690 for the new 790 twin next year which is why it wasnt updated like the 390/1290 this year. but yeah im a fan of the new front design

  • @matthewgarcia2330
    @matthewgarcia2330 7 лет назад +13

    Gotta be honest...the major feature holding me back from buying one is the horrendous sound. Like a glorified scooter. Isn't sound one of the main reasons we buy/ride certain bikes? On the exhaust note scale, this is drunk karaoke at the local dive bar. Almost as bad as it gets.

      Believe me sound won't be the worst thing about it. Once you own it, regular failure of parts will annoy you far more than any sound ever will.
