Got myself one last year. Never had so much fun on a motorcycle. The feeling on this little is hard to beat in my opinion. KTM got me With this little beauty
I remember seeing this video prior to getting my new 2016 Duke 390. I agree this bike is really fun and gives you enough power for city rides and is more than capable of short highway runs. I am currently in the market for the 2022 Triumph Trident 660 but I plan to hold onto my Katie M. Duke just for the grins. Thanks again.
Nice review, living in the Philippines now and not to many chooses of bikes over 200cc here. The Dukes (all) have been a choice since 2013 and here the traffic is VERY heavy so the 390 makes allot of sense. Thanks for the review.
+Mark Fletter 390 is the glass slipper for cinderalla! the perfect fit!
I've had this bike for just over a year now and I could very well relate your excitement in the video. Great vid, subbed :)
Thats awesome! such a great bike! thanks!
Just put a deposit on the 2016 as my first bike. Can't wait to ride it!
Nice review! I have the same bike at home and seeing you having a blast, made me feel like jumping out and go for a ride 😋
BTW, I don't think you've mentioned this in the review but, the instrument clusters light up when you turn on the head light or DRL.
Hard to see in the day but at night, its dope 👌
+Kevin Arnold Thanks!!
It was such a great ride. I cant wait until the season returns!
I never knew that about the headlight, I only did a quick day ride on it! But knowing KTM, im sure its nice!
thanks!
The turnsignals horn Etc are also backlit so at night you can easily see the controls. I am actually going to be picking up a RC390 as a second bike to my big 1200 moto guzzi Griso.
Wait a second, i grab my gear and we ride together 😃
Such as, Engine vibration, start up when engine is hot or cold, small problems like over heating, shock oil leaks, stuff like that.
I really enjoyed your review. Thanks
+Dialysisforever Thanks for watching! I really enjoyed this bike. Im sure you can tell!
Feel free to watch some of the others on here. I hope to have more content coming soon, just a matter of finding more rides!
Thanks again!
I'm just saying hold on till you save up for a 2023 at least,the cluster is worth it with the ride modes an it's easy to see in the day as well as the 2024,the 2024 model has adjustable forks on rebound an compression if that's something your into or not,not saying anything bad about the older models but damn,they are awesome
Bro,I finally got to sit on one at a dealership last Friday,if you think the one your on,then bro check out the cluster on the new 2023 an 2024,it's easier to see in color just is beautiful in my opinion,I fell in love with the 2024 Atlantic blue version,I just gotta put more money down on mine an I'll have it, definitely sits up more frame wise than my grom clone an I love that its chain driven too with a slipper clutch,bright led headlights too
Great review. I'm gonna get this bike next month.
Have fun an enjoy an ride safe out there.
Im so eager to compare this directly to the new CFmoto 400NK, but its just come out so no one has videos of it in english. Spec wise they are so similar and they look like copies of each other, they are designed by Kiska. Couple major differences like the CFmoto is a lower bike, bigger tank, weighs more and is overall a cheaper bike.
nice review man..
+k anand Thanks! check out my others if ya feel the need!
Appreciate it
Sure bro..
correction it has 32 newton meter of tourqe not 25newton meter which again us best in the class as of 2016 year
You just got me in debt😂
Nice! this bike just arrived here in Brazil, so people are getting excited about it. But, at the same time people (like me) are getting suspicious about it. Did the seat felt hard enough to be a problem on this bike? And what about the engine heating? People here think that this might be a problem since we're on a tropical country.
+Gustavo Bernardini I have zero complaints about comfort over all. Riding position and seat comfort is good over all for a smaller rider. if you are 5'9 and up it might be a bit cramped. As for the heating, we did have an issue with the cooling system when we first got it, but since it was fixed on warranty we havnt had an issue since. It is a small radiator so id be curious to hear how things go in warmer climates.
nice review man gud one I enjoyed it..
is this bike will look good on a 6.2 feet guy that is 188cm??plz help!!
+kelvin sharma It will feel very small for a man of your height unfortunately. :(
Will KTM rc 390 be proper for my height??
+kelvin sharma it will be a little better but still quite a small bike for your height. but it would be better than the duke id think!
+Dorian W. then plzz suggest me bike for my height in the price range of RC 390
kelvin sharma I would try sitting on the RC390 and seeing if it feels ok. all of the 300cc bikes are quite small.
If that doesnt work I would try to find a used Duke 690, A Buell XB, Suzuki SV, or yamaha fz07
I dont suppose youll get this comment. But it you do. Ive got a few questions about it.
But does it have ur approval..
+David Lall Absolutely, even as an experienced rider I would LOVE to have this as an in city commuter bike. A++!
+Rent This Ride which country r u from?me soon buy one
Kamal Lalchandani I am from Alberta Canada
+Rent This Ride snowcat is from that area too, right?
So this puppy or a GROM?!! I'd bacically drive it only in rural areas near the coast in Northern CA.
+DrSlideit the Duke 390 makes a lot more sense as full sized bike, it won't cramp you up like the grom. I have a lot of videos of Duke 390 including a comparative review of the RC390 vs Duke 390.
+Ride With Rahul Thanks Man, hopefully it's gunna be my first bike!
DrSlideit no issue!
+DrSlideit Id love to do a comparison against the Grom, but as for power, the 390 is just unmatched... and the styling is A++
I surely miss this bike... its been a month that I shifted from India to US and left this beauty locked in garage,, :'( ..and US is cold and rainy and with speed limits and stuff... think i will rent some stupid car and go with it.. :(
+Abhishek Chede Yaaaa climate shifts suck :(
+Rent This Ride yes.. i now see that people cant ride their bikes all the year... i guess thats the way, so little bit a sunny day and people are all gear up and on bikes... that is fun here
lol what's that song in the beginning?
+Retzilla Bojek Its actually a buddy of mines remix set but the song is De La Soul - The Bizness
does that speedo read in mph of kph? thanks and nice review!
well im from Canada so we are in km/h
តម្លៃប៉ុន្មាន់ដែលបង
😍
Is this Canada?
calgary, alberta
I'm 180 cm. tall - would this bike be too small for me?
+Michael Hansen Hi, just to help you out. I'm 190cm and i'm just to tall. i'm sitting a bit weird on it . My knies are sitting next to the tank. But go find a dealer and sit on it. it is for every person different. Ride save
I've been at a dealer, last year, and it felt like just-about okay when I sad on it. But I was thinking like, for riding long rides on it, I don't know if I would feel like my legs are bent too much on such a low bike like this...
+Michael Hansen Hey hey, sorry for the delay! At that height it be pretty tight for longer rides, i feel it may interfere with your long term comfort and rideability.
is his bike fast enough for the interstate?
Top speed is about 105 mph.
