I bought a 390 five months ago, added a bunch of offroad mods, and think it is way more capable offroad than many give it credit. Did a rally in Bisbee, AZ last month, and will be leaving in a week to ride the NMBDR with a friend. I'm having a blast at 64 in my retirement a year ago.
This bike is funny.... Non-owners call it a "beginner's" bike, but every actual owner I know/see has been riding for decades! As with most owners, mine is my secondary bike for fun and commuting.
I really like my 390 ADV bike. It's so light and so easy to maneuver compared to my former 900 pound cruiser. I'm still getting used to that little motor but, so far, I'm impressed with it. I can see myself maybe trading it in for an 890 ADV next spring.
i bought a himalayan and feel like i made a mistake. The ktm offers so much more. My himalayan lacks power , and the headlight is not great. But i scheduled a test drive for the ktm 390 adv.
There are surely some compromises on this bike. Not the greatest on rough trails, but it is a super fun ride on dirt/gravel back roads and also does quite well on the highway. I love it!

The biggest problem with this bike is it doesn't have tubeless tyres
best review ever some people just love to talk and talk and say nothing you have managed to condense 40 minutes into 12 so well done.
remember that the seat has been upgraded from 2022 to 2023. Your model has a softer seat.
Got my 2023 390 Adventure SW a week ago. Awesome bike! Fun on any surface. Swedish bikes don't get the crash bars but they do have LED turnsignals.

I have a 2021 and I love it
Thank you. I'm picking mine up in Toronto next week and I'm happy that you're input is reassuring.
100% agree. Got the same setup, it takes me everywhere I want. Ride safe.
I have the 2022 and agree with all your points. Thanks for the video. ☺️
Had it for 2 weeks. Nothing but brilliant!
I'm looking for my first rider and the KTM looks the part, nice video look forward to the next one.
Thank you sir for clearing out all of my doubts regarding this bike.
Enjoyed your review. My 23 works great for me also. Lots of options out there, The 390 works for me!
Thanks for the video. I just picked up one of these and its good to know another rider has a high opinion of this bike!
Well done video, Thank you.
So nicely depicted the truth about the product.. The BEST, the most beautiful small but charming and effective and superior ❤️
