Is the KTM 390 Duke Really 'Ready to Race'?

  • We've tested this bike before but never quite like this. KTM boasts that their bikes are 'Ready to Race' but is this actually true? Don recruits someone faster than him to find out and the results are quite spectacular.

    Great video guys, awesome riding too 😀. I love my Duke and in the 8 months since I bought the 2017 model, and 7500km later, it’s never skipped a beat, an absolute fun machine. Nimble, flickable and light. I am 5’2 and fits like its made for me. Cheers 👋🏻 from a SA expat in Oz 🇦🇺

    @thomascrownbuerger 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Ready to Last Over 10,000 miles? I really want one of these, but the longevity worries me. The Made in India part doesn't; they're not in any way the only manufacturer doing it. But when I read about engines letting go and little issues that shouldn't happen to new bikes, I get scared off. It's a shame, but I don't have the funds to throw at what should be a decently reliable beginner-friendly bike. I admire KTM for throwing some creativity at a sub-500cc bike whereas I think Hondas are so cookie-cutter, but reliability trumps cool. (I'm willing to be convinced otherwise; I really want one of these. So don't take this as me shitting on this bike. Quite the contrary. It's rather me being so upset that I'm scared to buy a bike I really want.)

      @ghandhi43 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Hey, do a smooth break in and everything will be fine. If you tend to abuse the engine initially, it will give you problems. KTM is evolving really fast, they address their issues in no time. I just sold my 2012 KTM 200, had clocked 42k Kms, riding anywhere and everywhere I could. So, that bike stayed with me for 5 full years. I feel the present KTM's are much better in all the aspects.You get 2 years warranty as well.
