I went with the Triumph....just rode from Delhi to Nashik via Banswara and Sardar Sarovar, brilliant machine! I'm 58 and 5'9", felt so light, powerful , natural and effortless compared to my Meteor 350. It was a hoot on Saputara ghats....I came back to my 20s there!!
I've always liked the Duke 390 and would possibly be my pick if I were 30 years younger. If I were in the market for a new smaller bike for zipping around town on, it would likely be the Speed 400. It just looks like it would make more sense for urban commuting and even sitting on for a while if stuck in traffic. The Speed 400 is also quite a bit less money. The Speed 400 is $5800 here vs about $7600 for the Duke 390. That's a pretty big price difference.

Ownership review (3 months) Pros: 1. Love the torque; perfect for city rides, 5/5. 2. Exceptional handling, rating it 5/5. 3. Impressive build quality, deserving a 5/5. 4. Great for highway runs (touring), with a rating of 4/5. Cons: 1. Experiencing vibrations after 90-100 kmph. 2. Could have been slightly heavier for a 400cc bike, especially coming from a Classic 350. 3. Headlamp visibility at night is poor. 4. Mileage is around 27/28. Conclusion: Overall, I love the bike, and I don’t regret buying it.
Took a test ride of both. Bang on with heat management on triumph Karan. However the Duke 390 is hot in 35* degrees Bombay heat. Also the jerky nature of the duke is a total turn off and like Varun said Duke is no tourer. 😅
I am 6 feet tall, rode the Duke, it did feel cramped. Sat on the Speed 400 it felt great, but I have not ridden it yet. Some reviewers are saying the Speed 400 pulls to the right, anyone else see or experienced that?
Got my Duke 390 a few days back, It Literally Flies above 5000 RPM, So much acceleration that I have to grab the handles very firmly so it doesnt leave me behind. In love with this machine
No brand can fare against the gen 3 390, It's VFM, Spec, Handling, Power, Drivability, Braking, Heat management, Sexy Looks, Electronics, Features. I believe no other single cylinder engine in the 400cc segment can even get closer to this, not now and will never in the future.
@@prasannasantharam yes the riding mods are best in this bike screen is very fast and responsive like a smart phone..i still need to test launch control.
Sharing my opinion, after riding both extensively. Speed 400 is a triumph in all sense but the engine. I love how there are no flat spots throughout the rev range but engine mannerisms are more like the 660 engine and not like a speed twin. The calm composure is not there but yes engine’s torque is much much better than so many bikes. I’d goto the length to say this engine is what new Himalayan should have gone for. On the other hand duke has become a perfect street bike. I have no complaints from duke. It’s become linear & peppy. The nimbleness and the agility in this bike now. Amazing!!!
@@pathikdesai5853 80kms ride daily via highway, with some patch of road being gravely where I enjoy sliding the rear bike tire ... 🙂... I like to rev out my 150cc bike in every gear but that's mostly cz I have reached its torque and speed limits, but I enjoy it...
Both these bikes are great, if you prefer subtlety go for Speed 400 and if you like being flashy go with 390, and if you like going big distances wait for next gen 390 adv, before going for Himalayan 452. 🙂
Completely agree with Varun on the Duke 390's character after a short test ride. After 5k rpm is when the hooligan shows it's true character. A very well compiled comparison video 👍.
calling the duke 390 vfm citing its equipment is like saying bhai aapko aapki thali me gulab jamun bhi denge , rasgulle bhi denge , halwa , papad sab denge isiliye yeh thali ka hum itna lenge !! bhai nahi mangta quick shifter , nahi chahiye adjustable suspension humkko ! apache ki trha rakho alag package ki jisko chahiye woh le apne vfm ki defination ke hisab se

Day of launch: I like Triumph Price reveal: it is way too low for this After Reviews: done I'm getting a speed 400 One of the best city and comfort cruising bike
Here in Mexico the difference in price is around 1k USD which is about 15% of the total cost of the Speed 400, so they are in the same market. Really the only thing the Speed 400 has over the KTM is the looks and maybe the fit and finish. I agree that the instrument cluster would have been so much better on the Speed had the tachometer being the analog and the speedo digital one.
This duke orangey orange colour is growing on me. Yesterday i saw rhat colour on road ..its even bright irl..but I am not hating it as much as I was when I saw it first time..

Speed 400 for me, hands down. I’m an older rider, and the KTM is too flashy and angular for me. Dealer network and proximity is a clincher for me, as well: I’m in the USA, with a Triumph dealership mere blocks away from me!
Isn't it ironic, speed isn't that speed after all in this comparison😂😂 in the end we are paying Bajaj in one way or other. I think that's brilliant, same segment, similar engines yet so different. In the end the question is which is the best rather what kind of bike you prefer!!! Well played Bajaj
8:05 Gen 3 Duke absolutely obliterates Gen 2 Duke in terms of looks, Gen 3 Duke looks like Daddy of Gen 2 Duke, Because it actually looks like SuperDuke and all the Salty Old Duke owners are biased, it's not even subjective c'mon man it's day and night difference and even a Kid would tell which looks better, so all the old duke fans and owners are salty and they are just denying to accept the FACT 😂
Guys you have not included ownership point of view. Triumph service interval and annual cost is considerably less than KTM. Cannot miss this from an ownership pov.
Owned a gen 2 390 for 6 years and loved it. Im sure the new bike is better but to me not quite as good looking but better than the gen 1. I now own a Hornet which is brilliant but again not the best looking bike out there. If i went back down to this size bike I'm not sure which of these id have to be honest. Maybe the Triumph🤔
One gripe i have with video ... The music suddenly comes up and overall sound flow is disturbed... Music should be on par with sound level in entire video... Problem with all power drift videos
I bought an RC 390 in 2014, Got a Gen 2 Duke 390 in 2018. So my opinion is kinda set in stone. You ride a KTM and accept it for it is, you won't find a reason to switch to a different bike.

you can put the same as the scrambler as an option. i've ordered it as such and will receive next quarter (First ones for French market)
Please look at the camera while talking during closeup shots
Feedback appreciated!
Booked Speed 400 over RTR 310
Just considering the practicality and riding experience.
Please give your opinion on my decision.
Ridden both, Speed 400 feels more refined and there are less vibes
Do what you love man
I'm also considering speed 400 but I'm worried about servicing since dealership is not available here in jabalpur
Where do you live
Most sensible decision 👍
As you guys said in start santra ya saveb... It nice to have the option
Absolutely
Wrong comparison Speed 400 should go with Duke 250 because they are very similar in price duke is almost a lakh costiler than speed 400
bola na bro its apple to oranges comparison hae ye
@@priyadarshivyas2233 ha bro woh pata hai but it was about different types of bike
@@priyadarshivyas2233 he aint wrong, the duke 250 is a subdued version of it 390 sibling which makes it perfect for city use and practical choice. Just like the reviewers said in the above video for the speed 400. But i guess the compro is also very simple. Go for the duke 250 if you want better tech or you wish to visit the tracks regularly. Get the speed 400 if you want to own a bigger capacity bike and yet have a comfortable regular city rides and decent highway experience.
Yes but perf figures! Lets discount the cost factor with this one.
purchased Duke390 ..the OG bike !!
Feels like a Triumph 😅😅.. Someone's following their ex-editor's videos😂
Huh?
Network of service and sales centre is going against Speed 400
We replied to the second comment :D
Thank you, Bajaj.
Good products this year!
Looks at the camera guys 🤧 who you talking to?
The primary cam! But we have heard your feedback.
@@glitchfyre5188Do consider me as well 😅. I love the Moto Guzzi longitudinally mounted v twin engines. And the new Stelvio is definitely a looker, specially compared to the last gen.
Please compare speed 400, duke 250 and honda 300r. Same price group.
That's a good comparison but no media unit from Honda
Kids like 390chapri
Legends like brand trimph❤
Tcch tcch
390 is not for beginners
Trimph or Shrimp? 😂
I would like to see how RTR 310 compares between the two. Actually I think it's a mixture of both.
The RTR is full of features. But the engine isn't as strong.
Speed400 is alternative for those who were looking for ktm250 duke at such a price !
The 250 Duke is a pretty solid bike too.
Duke looks like the moon god khonsu from moon knight
We had to Google that one.
I’m riding a speed twin 1200 and seriously downsizing to one these days, I tried the scrambler 400x found it absolutely awful 😞 nice chat gentleman have you convinced me ?
From a 1200 to a 400, anyone will find it awful :P
Is it what now being called journalism? Sounds more like sales department.
VP and KS liked both! And they are fantastic motorcycles.
