That last line *we can all buy expensive motorcycles but the main thing is to maintain that bike* will teach everybody to work hard for there dream bike. loved it man. you are doing great job.
Thank you...too many "bikers" riding around with rusted chains nowadays. Hopefully parents stop buying their children motorcycles or atleast make them earn it.
I love your light, simplified and very factual review. And I'm a HUGE fan of the bad driver series. Lol just watching these videos again and some catch up from the old stock. Keep em coming Oggy. P.S. Shared this video with a friend who was chewing my brains out. You covered the 'syllabus' 😬
First review with Pillion rider and that's pretty good distance. Mum-Goa and back in good 1300 kms ride. Gives a preview how it's going to fare. Comprehensive Review someone mentioned In the post & I do agree. KTM are master. I am amazed by many post complaining about alloys, ground clearance. We understand as Indian we are just beginning to understand the different category of motorcycle . All we grow up seeing all crapy motorcycle tagged as adventure motorcycle or long distance cruiser. And commenting as done lakhs of kms and done more than 10k hours of riding experience. Coming from KTM Best Adventure/ Enduro motorcycle mfg the package they offerred in 390 Adv is simply phenomenal for our audience. If anything you're asking more than this would be challenging Toby price or Sam Sunderland. Or even our desi champ Mr Santosh. Anyway good reckoner.
Yup, they've certainly hit the nail on the head with this one. Hopefully this gets the ball rolling in the segment and we see more manufacturers jumping in and giving us options.
First off, I was surprised, very pleasantly so, by your video. I'd given up hope of anyone reviewing the baby KTM ADV as what it's really meant to be , a ( not so grand) GT. Especially after my man Ryan F9 missed the mark ( purely from my perspective) in his review. When I want my dirt jollies , I go ride a dirt bike. This was spot on serendipity, because it's the first time I came across your channel. Please please keep it up, you're an articulate breath of fresh air.
The best english speaker Indian rider to review KTM 390 Adv, so far. Thanks for your comprehensive structured review on this motorcycle. It helps me a lot for a better confident on this upcoming unit to my country. I have watched lots of review on KTM 390 Adv, most common issues that I notice is that Low End power of this unit is not strong enough, thus need to change the sprocket either front only or rear only. Would you agree on this? Thanks.
That was a freaking good review Oggy. Plus hilarious antics of Pillion prime. Very insightful and real world application details shared by you. Appreciate you putting such hard work for us. Keep at it mate \m/
Glad you found the video useful. I will be releasing a video on the changes I've made to the adventure 390 I bought last year. Do check that out too ✌🏻. Ride safe.
Perfect brother... Awesome review.. that's like hearing from an expert talking about his 40 years of experience with his wife and how she behaves on circumstances...🤣🤣
Best touring review on ktm 390 adv All points covered properly Thank you so much for sharing fair review with us and hats off to your efforts. Thank you
Thanks a lot Oggy to share your valuable review with us.. I am too a proud owner of ADV 390 but has not ridden it to highways yet. Your review boosted my confidence of riding this bike on highways and the comfort level it provides. Keep it up mate and let the osmness flowing..🙂👍
Good and comprehensive review and feedback Oggy, keep it up dude. As I have booked this motorcycle and will get delivery in couple of days, this video did provide much better insights and really happy now and clear of what to expect from the adventure 390. Good stuff and keep rocking :). #RajRideStories
I really like the way you explain things, from a daily commuter pov which is really appreciative. If I was KTM or any other manufacturer, I would include an influence like you in my marketing budget.
Excellent riding. You have covered most of the points. Just that personally I don't fancy the looks. Excellent point covering the front brakes point. Charging socket definitely a plus point. Quit impressive with ground clearance. This could be a good touring option in 400 cc segment. Excellent review. Great work 👍
Oggy F had confusion in mind wether it will be comfortable for pillion on long ride... But u have cleared da confusion... Well im considering interceptor 650 too... Wud be awsome if u do review for interceptor 650 tooo....
Thank you Andy. I refrained going from full tank to empty to test out the fuel range but I was close to doing so at one point. The most I'd be able to get out of a full tank on this is 390kms...mor than that, I don't think I'll enjoy riding it 😉
The only way I think I can support you in making these amazing videos is by patiently watching the 3 minutes ads on your videos..a very good review...one question for you to answer in plain yes or no...is this bike worth buying...ride safe bro...
Idk if there's any cool places apart from jammu and lonavla, but if you visit the south with the adventure 390, you've got to go to coorg and ooty and do off roading there cause wading through random streams and kacche roads is just too much fun. Also your reviewing of every detail that you talk about makes us just want to not stop listening.
Thank you bro. I was in the south last year but had flown down there. Hopefully when the current situation passes, I'll be able to ride there and do all of this.
Looking forward to your off-road ride and monsoon ride as this has TC. For this review, awesome as expected. Thank you for sharing the pros and cons. Ride safe. 🌼🌼
Great review Oggy! I had the adventure for the weekend and did about 300 odd kms on it and it's a lot of bike for the money that you're paying for! I think it a jack of many trades, touring being on top of that list! It's definitely not perfect, but it's drawbacks aren't deal breakers by any means at the price point! Just wish we got adjustable suspensions as an add-on option from ktm...and that quick shifter was really temperamental to the point where I just used the clutch instead!
Thank you. Yes, I did feel like the quickshifter was a bit off but I've heard owners say that it works better after the first service. Adjustable suspension is something they should definitely consider looking at the response the motorcycle received. Let's hope they do it soon.
Hey Oggy, Nice crisp to the point review. No frills, just plainspeak, which is how I like it! Just a question - Did you encounter any issue/s with the motorcycle on the trip? Keep riding & sharing your experiences so that others can benefit. Cheers!!
Thank you Anjali. Considering this was a media motorcycle, it's been through a lot before I got to ride it and the throttle response at startup was a bit off. After riding it for a minute or 2, it worked fine. Didn't mention this cause I spoke with other owners who never experienced it and the other tie I rode the adv 390 at the launch event, I didn't experience this issue. Other than that, no complaints. Thank you for the encouragement and ride safe :D
Regarding the headlight that needs adjustment when you load the bike up with gear: that is what the rear preload adjustment is for, the rear goes down with luggage so you crank up the preload in the back to level it out again. like that, the headlight has the correct angle again. otherwise: great review and very informative!
Great Review Buddy. I wish you spoke a lil about the traction control. I'm sure for highway rides TC is very necessary but I'd love to hear out your Opinion as many owners have said its a a little pain in the ass to turn off for off-road. Great Video Nonetheless :)
Thank you bro. I think TC would be more useful when touring in the monsoons in India, specially after the first few showers. For now, the tyres do the job well in most conditions we experienced on this trip. That auto-switching of the TC when the bike shuts off is something KTM should have a look at considering how many people are complaining about it. Thank you for watching. Ride safe ✌🏻😊
Love your review.. 😍😍 This is the most comprehensive and kind of simple for guys like me and I loved this video.. You cover all the aspects... Thank you OGGYF for your view about this beautiful machine.. 😊
Bro thanks for sharing your review... can you please advise me what option do we have for hazard light... can we install it, will it void the warranty...
Well, great review. Personally I would like to see the twin cylinder Suzuki V Storm 250 on Indian Roads. But that my friend would most likely remain a dream for us. Edit: Happy Lockdown 😭😭😭
Hi buddy this is very educative review! Thankfully no frills no beating around the bush. It's quite precise yet very informative. Well done bro! One doubt though. How is the low end torque and gear ratio. Does it require far too many downshifts on speed breakers?
Thank you for the feedback and kind words. Wrt to the low end torque, gears 1 and 2 are pretty short so you'll end up shifting between them quite often at lower speeds and there is a decent amount of torque available. The motor is also pretty tractable in those gears. I usually tried to keep the bike in 2nd or 3rd gear for most of my time stuck in traffic at lower speeds. I've watched and read reviews where other owners have switched the front sprocket to that from the Duke 250 and this has resolved the lack of torque in the first few gears. Hope that helps answer your question. Ride safe.
absolute clarity and coverage from all aspects, great review :).. what's the sweet spot( comfortable cruising speed) on this bike ? looking forward for a Himalayan BS6 touring review..
Thank you. We were able to cruise easily between 90 - 110kmph (with saddlebags and a pillion). The bike would've been comfortable at 130 too but there was a lot of traffic that day.
The most effective mirrors I've seen on any motorcycle are the ones on the Vstrom. Big and ugly AF buy they do the job so well. If it's possible to get those on this, I'd do that.
Beautiful review, first comprehensive one I've seen that actually speaks about the touring capabilities while you're actually touring ( with a pillion that too! ). I had a quick question tho, what do you think of the seat height, I wanted to get a better understanding if a shorter rider would be comfortable on this bike ( Would riding boots help with the height ? ). Looking forward to your opinion on this. P.S ( I am not sure if you spoke about the ride height, but if you did, sorry I missed it :/ )
Hey Valindo. Thank you for the comment and for watching. The seat height maybe a bit intimidating for some but it's not a deal breaker. I have friends who are 5"5 who still ride the motorcycle in city traffic without major issues. Riding boots would definitely make it easier at a standstill.
Pillion prime please continue your trolling really loved it 😅.. After all u r the PRIME.. Oggy F koschans.. 1. How was it to ride at triple digits (if u have)? 2. The quickshifter on touring how helpful was it?
1. We could comfortably cruise between 90 - 120 without any issues . The motorcycle could handle it. The additional traffic didn't allow. 2. Didn't use the quickshifter much cause it didn't feel smooth. Owners I've spoken with say that it gets better after the first service though. It would be nice to have it for touring specially if you're riding longer distances and want to give your left arm some rest. PillyP will continue to troll. No doubts about that. Thanks for watching brother. Ride safe :D
Thanks oggy F u too ride safe... more miles to u... BTW the KTM app somehow as per my experience on old Duke 390 2018 model is bad.. drains a load of battery of phone. I prefer using Android AUTO for navigation and calls. 😁
Hi bro. Great review. May i ask? Does your good lady have a forward view from her seat over ur head? At the mo we have a crf250l and she gets bored of the back of my head! Im 5' 11", her 5' 7'. Im considering to buy one here in Philippines. Its a toss up between Himalayan and this. Tough choice. Cheers
For touring probably better with a 150 rear tire? (like the duke). For the screen, the one from the 790 adventure is a direct replacement according to KTM.
Awesome review bro. Covered all the points. In your opinion, if you had to pick a bike between BMW g310 gs and ktm 390 adv just on the long range rider comfort which would it be. I feel as a VFM package with the electronics the kTM has the BMW beat, but what are your thoughts on pure comfort in our indian roads. Thanks again for the awesome review.
Hi Oggy, First of all! Big Fan!!! I just absolutely love your content. I am facing a question when it comes to buying my next bike. I took a test ride of the Adventure 390 but i feel that 855mm seat height is a bit too much for me (I am 5'6"). And now I am wondering that can the Duke 390 BS6 model with just about 151mm ground clearance handle the touring? I am really looking forward for an answer from you that might help me shape my decision.
Oggy! Did you have any issues wearing Rpha helmet especially considering ADV 390 seating is very upright? So far I see Rpha helmets are best for sports motorcycle tucked in posture.
No issues whatsoever. The RPHA fits me very well (snug) and is extremely light too. Ventilation works well while tucked in and when sitting upright. Only issue with it is the peripheral vision is somewhat hampered but not to a great extent.
I have a HJC FG 17. Have a leakage from the chin vents and it makes a whistling sound while I'm riding this bike. Any suggestions to reduce this? Also suggestions to reduce wind noise of any would be appreciated. A very good review. Exactly how I felt about the bike. Except the saddle is not that great for me. I weigh 92kgs. That might be one reason.

PillyP will continue to troll. No doubts about that. Thanks for watching brother. Ride safe :D
Thanks oggy F u too ride safe... more miles to u...
BTW the KTM app somehow as per my experience on old Duke 390 2018 model is bad.. drains a load of battery of phone. I prefer using Android AUTO for navigation and calls. 😁
Damn I got excited seeing it's already here🥺
It went through with errors... So re-uploading it for tomorrow
Hi bro. Great review. May i ask? Does your good lady have a forward view from her seat over ur head? At the mo we have a crf250l and she gets bored of the back of my head! Im 5' 11", her 5' 7'. Im considering to buy one here in Philippines. Its a toss up between Himalayan and this. Tough choice. Cheers
Hi, unfortunately her view was mostly obstructed by my helmet. For reference, I'm 5"10 and she's 5"8.
@@OggyF thanks bro. Safe driving 👍
Superb! Thanks.
Really nice review!
Thank you Robert. Glad you liked it.
I hope this is better that HIMALAYAN.
awesome bro very nice review love it
Very elaborative 🙂
Very useful and practical review.👍👍👍
Thank you ✌🏻. Ride safe 🤙🏻
For touring probably better with a 150 rear tire? (like the duke). For the screen, the one from the 790 adventure is a direct replacement according to KTM.
Great tips...thank you.
Awesome review bro. Covered all the points.
In your opinion, if you had to pick a bike between BMW g310 gs and ktm 390 adv just on the long range rider comfort which would it be. I feel as a VFM package with the electronics the kTM has the BMW beat, but what are your thoughts on pure comfort in our indian roads.
Thanks again for the awesome review.
Would still choose the Ktm. The bmw's rear suspension seems a bit too soft.
What a detailed review bro 🤗
Thank you bro
you should switch to dipper if you see incoming traffic.
Great review buddy 👍
Hi Oggy,
First of all! Big Fan!!!
I just absolutely love your content.
I am facing a question when it comes to buying my next bike. I took a test ride of the Adventure 390 but i feel that 855mm seat height is a bit too much for me (I am 5'6"). And now I am wondering that can the Duke 390 BS6 model with just about 151mm ground clearance handle the touring? I am really looking forward for an answer from you that might help me shape my decision.
Great review! Thank you!
Thank you for watching 😊. Ride safe 🤙🏻
I am also disappointed with windscreen and mirrors. But awesome bike with good riding dynamics.
Yeah they're minor issues which can be sorted out. The overall package is great. Thanks for watching.
Great review Oggy 😀😀
Legends know it's re-uploaded
Nice review bro😊 How comfortable will the pillion be in touring?
Best review ♥️🙏
Thank you Vayu. Ride safe bro.
Brilliant review video. May I know the model of the jacket you are wearing?
Thank you. I'm wearing the Clover Rainjet WP jacket.
@@OggyF wow !! that was a quick reply. Thanks a lot for that information. Love your channel. Wish you all the success and ride safe.
Great review brother 👌😊
Good reveiw👌 thx
Oggy! Did you have any issues wearing Rpha helmet especially considering ADV 390 seating is very upright?
So far I see Rpha helmets are best for sports motorcycle tucked in posture.
No issues whatsoever. The RPHA fits me very well (snug) and is extremely light too. Ventilation works well while tucked in and when sitting upright. Only issue with it is the peripheral vision is somewhat hampered but not to a great extent.
I have a HJC FG 17. Have a leakage from the chin vents and it makes a whistling sound while I'm riding this bike. Any suggestions to reduce this? Also suggestions to reduce wind noise of any would be appreciated.
A very good review. Exactly how I felt about the bike. Except the saddle is not that great for me. I weigh 92kgs. That might be one reason.
@@madihalli use 3m earsoft earplugs. That will reduce whistling noise!
Thanks that was really informative.
