+Alme Dz Me too, but you make it sound like they are not anymore... i personally think he has been keeping it up and not changed his attitude for the worse like many other motovloggers.
I absolutely love my Duke 390 (Identical to yours). TBH I can't justify the upgrade to a non-LAMS bike at the moment! Best bike for just smashing around suburbia and the city!
Glad you noticed and know nearly all the bikes are made/assembled in Thailand! Here (Thailand), the Duke 390 costs as much as a CB500f, but probably different over there.
Good luck with your Duke. When I had mine the right rear turn signal fell off after about 100 miles then the neutral sensor went out of whack. I traded it in for an FZ-07 after 6 months and couldn't be happier. The Indian build quality was just not up to par. The fit and finish between the two bikes is a night and day difference.
TOM! i was on holiday in melbourne for the tennis last week and i was walking across the yarra to crown and i saw you on the S1000RR (well im pretty sure it was you), i didn't yell out or anything but i just wanted to let you know that i made my day.
I got a 390 as my first motorcycle last year and I am pretty happy with my choice. I think it has that little extra power that the other 300's don't have so you won't grow out of it so quickly.
Hey man, great vids! If you still have the Duke 390, you should do a "long-term" review of it. It'd be very interesting to see if cheap bikes like this start to fall apart after a while, and what the service is going to cost.
I actually almost bought this one as well, in 2014... I did a lot of research and comparing between the Duke 390 and the CB500F, but eventually ended up buying me the CB500F. There was a special offer at the time, and I had a €600 reduction when I bought the Honda. :) Also, I live very close to the highway. And 2 cylinders (and the bigger engine) is a bit more suitable for the highway than a Single Cylinder...
It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow. and even then I test rode an RC390 and holy shit it's a fun little goon machine. after riding a 1000cc bike for over a year everything feels slow, but it's a great learning bike that looks extremely sexy. way better than the Kawi or Honda.
As the Honda CBR650f has recently been announced and as it is a LAMS bike (a bike that learners riders in Australia can ride due to power and things, for those who don't know). If you could have a ride and give a contrast of a other bikes that you have ridden before that would be appropriate for learners that would great!!
The front sprocket seal has gone 3 times on my 2014 Duke 390, would not recommend at all, unless you want oil to spray all over the back of your jacket... It's so frustrating because it's such a fun bike
yep, fantastic machine, I've got the 2013 model, great but not for long rides or highways, would be the only one that doesn't bore me after getting used to it, I have to be honest; your India comment is right, I noticed the difference with the Austrian-built high-end models I've tried
Tom, GoPro released a new entry model camera. Its $199 and its basic no frills. No removable battery, built in waterproof case, would need to drill the case to get an external microphone to work. Definitely need to look into it as another review on a 'starter camera'
+Rickstaaaa87 Sony SV200V. Better than the best GoPro model, considerably cheaper. GoPro's are overpriced because people blindly recommend them to noobies.
For anyone considering the Dazzne P3, have a look at some footage from the Xiaomi Yi. Much better quality and from a more known manufacturer, also quite a bit cheaper
i got my license while riding on this bike fun to see you on it in this video. I did not go offroad with it tho xD dont think my teacher would had been happy
The video quality difference is pretty big but for a motovlogger on a budget and especially as a safety camera it would do the job well. Great bike Duke 390! I'd go for Yamaha R3 but then again, you already have a lot of sportsbikes, Dukes are great fun
They haven't updated it since 2013 IIRC, It's not even listed on their website anymore. Great bike for the track, but I'd rather they release a supersport version of their 690 Duke. Help them compete with the Japanese.
Anyone looking at the Dazzne - check out Techmoan on youtube, he does a really indepth review of it, along with a lot of other budget cameras, such as the SJCam SJ4000 I use
Love my 390 Duke. Such a fun bike to ride. Use it for commuting and having fun every time I it out on the road. Have to agree that it does want to make you feel like doing silly things when riding. It's a "naughty" or "make you feel like a bit of a hooligan" bike which is just awesome. Thanks for the video and have fun! P.S. Get the Akrapovic, sounds and looks epic
Duke 390 vs 400NK? Im in preference to the 400NK by CFMoto. I mean for the price you could also include the 650NK but i personally like that the 400NK is so cheap with a lot of good features like the 390 has.
I decided to get the cb400, after I found out about the small fuel tank and slightly questionable build quality of the 390...seems to be a better bike than I thought...
i love my 390! only problems i've had are the radiator fan melting and the dash leaking when it gets rained on. i swapped out to an aftermarket radiator fan and started using Engine Ice radiator fluid and thats at least stopped the fan from melting, but the bike still gets really hot very easily.
Nice man. I bought a gopro hero as a second cam and works great. I'm about to sell my dr650sm here in 3/4 months which runs the same tires as the 390 coincidentally. It's awesome to see you taking it offroad. I've been telling people the duke is like a sumo just with shorter suspension travel and ground clearance. It's 20 lbs lighter than my current bike and has about 10 more hp so I think it will be a great little bike. eventually will get one of the rsf exc bikes as a real sumo later on though.
We were promised kangaroos and we got kangaroos, you never disappoint! Haha, does Ridingwithmrstoom know you've been taking her bike off road chasing kangaroos?;D great vid though as always Tom!
Hey Tom! really enjoying your reviews on these bikes keep them coming mate. BTW at the beginning of this video were u at the old bridge in east gippsland sale ?
You just got a new sub just because of the new bike, I've been wanting to buy this bike but im still saving money, most of the channels i found that vlog with this bike are indian so someone thats not from there buying one and doing video is pretty cool. Hope to loads more content with it, loved the video, cheers.
That neutral problem is very very common and I got it fixed on my duke but it will still have some shifting problems. Unfortunately however much I love my duke they are known for being terrible unreliable XD
Nice wheelies bro :D ...... and when you went off road the second time that was bad ass :D totally thought you might eat shit lol ....... But your ridingwithtom you got skills :D
been following your channel for sometime now! love the fact that you got the d390 in your garage now! its my superbike here in india and it does wonders here to the local crowd... and its pretty cheap! way cheaper than an R3 or benelli 300 and half the price when compared to the ninja300.. the ninja doesnt even have abs here for that kinda money!
Hey Tom, how's the engine heat on the 2016 model? I've seen many complaints about earlier models running extremely hot. Nerd on Wheels has a 2014 or 15 model (I think) and his dealership actually replaced the fan on his radiator with the unit from the RC390.
you should do a cfmoto nk650.. i own one and i reckon you would be surprised, i paid $6,490 on road and bang for buck is amazing, far better quality than the ktm in my opinion (was my 2nd option so i did some research on them both).
oh 15-20min ride into the city. I had to do a 40 mile 1hr commute down the m25 in the pouring rain filtering dead slow traffic lest I be late in the middle of winter :(
Hey, it looks like you are riding around the back of the Melbourne airport area. Can't remember the name of the road but i assume that's the one. That bridge at the beginning is characteristic.
I want a recommendation out of 2 bikes. It's out of the rvf400/vfr400 or the ninja 300. I can afford both of them. ABS is nice but it's not a necessity. I'm mainly wondering which has the best handing.
4:25 Thats one of my favourite spots to watch aircraft coming in to Melbourne airport! Hahahaha awesome video man I'm about to go take my learners in the next coming weeks and I'll be in the market for a bike soon. Was going for either a Ducati monster or the Triumph street triple however I can't justify 12k for a bike I'll be learning on. Might have to give the KTM a go! Seems like your really enjoying it!
@RidingWithTom could you please do a gear break down on what gear you use for your road bikes and what gear you use for your dirt bikes, This would be very helpfull to me as im only just about to start learning how to ride a bike and im looking for some good gear, thanks man! (:
Tom! I moved to Melbourne last year from Denmark, but have been watching your videos since you had a ninja 250 :D I now ride around on a SV650S and would really appreciate if you could tell me where abouts you are in the video? I recognise the place from when you reviewed the old s1000r aswell, and think it looks like a really cool place! :)
Tom, could you explain why you bought this instead of a 690 ? I've got a fz07 and consider getting this, would that be a downgrade? besides the obvious stuff. I mean in riding quality, fun factor and so on
I added this below in a sub comment, but I'll put it here at the head as well. The Duke 200/RC 200 and Duke 390/RC 390 will from 2017 be manufactured (assembled) in the Philippines from components made in the Philippines, Austria and India, and probably China, but that is a guess. Quality issues a production problems forced KTM which ironically is 47% owned by BAJAJ to pull the production for at least part of the line. All the larger bikes, (and other types) are being marketed here in the Philippines already all the way up to the 1290 series, all being manufactured in Austria as most of you know. www.mb.com.ph/ayalas-wild-side/
RWT.... great video, looks like that 390 is a mean little sucker, quick question. I noticed you had your mike cable going into the side of the go pro mounted on your helmet with the mini cable to 3.5 jack for connection to external mike...did you drill a hole into the casing or is it something you can buy?, I find a shit load of wind noise comes through just the go pro mike. Cheers in advance
Trying very hard not be offended by the "it reflects made in india" comment :( I'm from India and I've had the bike for about 2 years now and its way cheaper here lol. The stalling issue is maddening though, and it seems to happen after cold starts.
This is the 8th brand new bike I have bought and it is by far having the most amount of issues, I've owned bikes made in Japan, Thailand, Italy, Germany and Austria and this bike isn't on the same level as them.
+RidingWithTom Agreed, India has some catching up to do when you compare it to Japanese or German engineering, especially for motorcycles. Its a little silly for me to get offended. On the other hand, one of the reasons it's cheap is because its made here and its cut corners. Bajaj is known for cutting corners. These are all factors of its manufacturing and not necessarily India. My problem wasn't you saying its crummy quality, but that you directly associated it with India. What other Indian products have you owned?
I'm not talking about other products, I'm just talking about motorcycles, it's like if I was talking about cars and phones, I wouldn't want a car made in China but a phone made in China is fine (iPhones are made in China) honestly I can't think of one thing I own made in India except maybe clothes made in Bangladesh which isn't really India but close. I work in IT in Australia which means I work heavily with India, we have offices in Chennai and more then half my team in Australia is Indian. I asked one of them just now if he would buy a Tata over a Toyota and he said shit no. I asked why and he said India don't make as good a car as Japan and I feel the same way about bikes. This could change though, I mean Korean cars used to be JUNK but now they are getting extremely good and very comparable to a Japanese manufacturer.
+RidingWithTom KTM is pretty cheap quality tho you will be visiting service center quiet lot of time. The alloy rims are very easily damaged, mine broke just by getting hit my a small stone. not the whole thing but a small piece of fall of
+RidingWithTom indian manufacturers have a lot to catch up with europeans but there is absolutely no match with japanese, they are the best. ktm here in india with bad quality plastic is plausible cos they are selling cheaper in comparison to ninja 300 and R3 in and the irony here is the indian manufacturer 'bajaj' which manufactures ktm 200 and 390 cc bikes, manufactures its bike in better quality plastic and that too at very less price with ktms.
Damn, scary how this channel has grown, I joined Tom when he was upgrading his 250 ninja to the 636. The videos back then were so awesome.
+Alme Dz Me too, but you make it sound like they are not anymore... i personally think he has been keeping it up and not changed his attitude for the worse like many other motovloggers.
Jesus Christ, you call a Duke 390 cheap? Are you secretly a millionaire or something?
5300€ or something like that here in Portugal, not that expensive compared to a cb500f ( 6000 € I think)
+Simão Maltez non abs cb500f ***
+TrolclanAPU "relatively cheap for what it is." He said literally a few seconds later.
thinkpol yes, I agree with him, but in Europe is "very cheap" for what it is, but not as good build quality as honda I must say.
Get a used here in Germany for 3k
The Juke 390 sounds fun...
hahahah
+LegitTitan123 ...
bwhahahahahaha😂😂
Vincent Borsum Come on... you know it's funny xD
LegitTitan123 well... kinda... i guess :P
love how Tom says: "how's it going gentsssss" :P

I need to take the bike easy since its still on break in. Let me do some power wheelies. Fun video man.

Hahaha

that bike is so nervous. my boy has one, most def one of a kind

There was a special offer at the time, and I had a €600 reduction when I bought the Honda. :)
Also, I live very close to the highway. And 2 cylinders (and the bigger engine) is a bit more suitable for the highway than a Single Cylinder...
For 150 bucks and 60fps? Uh yes. I would highly consider it.
+Mediarahan the wuality is really bad though
Daniyal S. This is not a 500 dollar camera man.
+Daniyal S. The quality was fine, it just had a lot of red in it (warm colours).
Mediarahan still, i could get better quality for its price
+Mediarahan Go for the Xiaomi Yi , better quality , 2K 60FPS and only 70 Euros :)
It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

If you could have a ride and give a contrast of a other bikes that you have ridden before that would be appropriate for learners that would great!!
Felt like a mountain bike when i rode one! Such a great bike.
The front sprocket seal has gone 3 times on my 2014 Duke 390, would not recommend at all, unless you want oil to spray all over the back of your jacket... It's so frustrating because it's such a fun bike
Man that little ca era isn't bad at all
yep, fantastic machine, I've got the 2013 model, great but not for long rides or highways, would be the only one that doesn't bore me after getting used to it, I have to be honest; your India comment is right, I noticed the difference with the Austrian-built high-end models I've tried
I love your coments about bikes. u make me new about them so much without test them at all. good luck.
Fender eliminator needed and quickly, the bike is beautifull but the stock one kills the bike :D
I've had my duke 390 since October 2015 and I love it. P.s. It looks way better with the stickers off of it
Tom, GoPro released a new entry model camera. Its $199 and its basic no frills. No removable battery, built in waterproof case, would need to drill the case to get an external microphone to work. Definitely need to look into it as another review on a 'starter camera'
+Rickstaaaa87 Sony SV200V. Better than the best GoPro model, considerably cheaper. GoPro's are overpriced because people blindly recommend them to noobies.
There is holes in the other backdroor for it
+6Twisted And what about Apple then? Those things are over priced crap
teamracing07 Which is why I have a Sony Xperia Z3. Better hardware, cheaper.
For anyone considering the Dazzne P3, have a look at some footage from the Xiaomi Yi. Much better quality and from a more known manufacturer, also quite a bit cheaper
I like ridingwithtom partially because it sounds like ridingwithsharltocopely and also because I'm loving my d390
i got my license while riding on this bike fun to see you on it in this video. I did not go offroad with it tho xD dont think my teacher would had been happy
The video quality difference is pretty big but for a motovlogger on a budget and especially as a safety camera it would do the job well.
Great bike Duke 390! I'd go for Yamaha R3 but then again, you already have a lot of sportsbikes, Dukes are great fun
I'm hoping they launch a few bigger supersports. The RC390 is a great bike but a RC690 would be even better
Agree xD
Isn't there an rc8?
Yeah, but a light weight sportsbike would be awesome :) KoalaDuty
They haven't updated it since 2013 IIRC, It's not even listed on their website anymore. Great bike for the track, but I'd rather they release a supersport version of their 690 Duke. Help them compete with the Japanese.
+MOTOFROST in-line 3, 4 or even v-twin 690 would be great
I live in Philippines..
a very hot country to..
I'm glad you mention the get easy hot engine part..
thanks.. that's really important..
great video
Sweet! Love my RC390. I want a Duke now also... haha. The GoPro Hero 2014 is only around $130, and that is what I use. It is basic, but works great!
Anyone looking at the Dazzne - check out Techmoan on youtube, he does a really indepth review of it, along with a lot of other budget cameras, such as the SJCam SJ4000 I use
good review Tom, jealous of your no traffic roads man
Love my 390 Duke. Such a fun bike to ride. Use it for commuting and having fun every time I it out on the road.
Have to agree that it does want to make you feel like doing silly things when riding. It's a "naughty" or "make you feel like a bit of a hooligan" bike which is just awesome.
Thanks for the video and have fun!
P.S. Get the Akrapovic, sounds and looks epic
Duke 390 vs 400NK? Im in preference to the 400NK by CFMoto. I mean for the price you could also include the 650NK but i personally like that the 400NK is so cheap with a lot of good features like the 390 has.
I decided to get the cb400, after I found out about the small fuel tank and slightly questionable build quality of the 390...seems to be a better bike than I thought...
i love my 390! only problems i've had are the radiator fan melting and the dash leaking when it gets rained on. i swapped out to an aftermarket radiator fan and started using Engine Ice radiator fluid and thats at least stopped the fan from melting, but the bike still gets really hot very easily.
I love riding that road
Confidence inspiring is what I wanted to hear. Looks fun. I think I have made my decision. Thanks.
You should get an SJ4000, it's like 100 bucks with 2 batteries and 23 different accessories. It also has 1080p 60fps
I've ridden a duke 125, would be interesting to see how much better it is with more power.
I assume your gf has moved up to the 360, congrats to her! hope she enjoys riding it, the Duke is a great bike
woohoo! New RWT Video!!
Nice man. I bought a gopro hero as a second cam and works great. I'm about to sell my dr650sm here in 3/4 months which runs the same tires as the 390 coincidentally. It's awesome to see you taking it offroad. I've been telling people the duke is like a sumo just with shorter suspension travel and ground clearance. It's 20 lbs lighter than my current bike and has about 10 more hp so I think it will be a great little bike. eventually will get one of the rsf exc bikes as a real sumo later on though.
We were promised kangaroos and we got kangaroos, you never disappoint! Haha, does Ridingwithmrstoom know you've been taking her bike off road chasing kangaroos?;D great vid though as always Tom!
I have a zx10r but looking forward to a duke
Awesome!! Like the duke so much..
Tom you should do a video of showing off all of your bikes.
Hey Tom! really enjoying your reviews on these bikes keep them coming mate. BTW at the beginning of this video were u at the old bridge in east gippsland sale ?
You just got a new sub just because of the new bike, I've been wanting to buy this bike but im still saving money, most of the channels i found that vlog with this bike are indian so someone thats not from there buying one and doing video is pretty cool. Hope to loads more content with it, loved the video, cheers.
That neutral problem is very very common and I got it fixed on my duke but it will still have some shifting problems. Unfortunately however much I love my duke they are known for being terrible unreliable XD
I love your bike Tom!!!
Yeah I got an RC390 a few weeks ago I kinda wish i got a duke 390
Nice wheelies bro :D ...... and when you went off road the second time that was bad ass :D totally thought you might eat shit lol ....... But your ridingwithtom you got skills :D
I just want to see more wombats and more dukes!
been following your channel for sometime now! love the fact that you got the d390 in your garage now! its my superbike here in india and it does wonders here to the local crowd... and its pretty cheap! way cheaper than an R3 or benelli 300 and half the price when compared to the ninja300.. the ninja doesnt even have abs here for that kinda money!
i remember when he test rode the 390 duke and was like "I've been looking for a learner bike". and here he is haha
5 bikes! #goals
The levers should be easily fixed. Have you looked at the adjustable ones in the Powerparts catalogue?
Hey Tom, how's the engine heat on the 2016 model? I've seen many complaints about earlier models running extremely hot. Nerd on Wheels has a 2014 or 15 model (I think) and his dealership actually replaced the fan on his radiator with the unit from the RC390.
Great vid Tom. I hope i can do some good moto vlogs like you soon. The weather here in the uk is shit so I can't get out there. Good luck with things
you should do a cfmoto nk650.. i own one and i reckon you would be surprised, i paid $6,490 on road and bang for buck is amazing, far better quality than the ktm in my opinion (was my 2nd option so i did some research on them both).
Put a mivv suono exhaust (black) on her!! It looks and sounds awesome!!
one of my top 5 wants on 2 wheels
+Mumbiker Nikhil the way he mounted his cam on duke, give it a try !!
Fun little bike
oh 15-20min ride into the city. I had to do a 40 mile 1hr commute down the m25 in the pouring rain filtering dead slow traffic lest I be late in the middle of winter :(
Haha yeah my commute is easy peasy
Yeah I had the same except I was in the city. 1 hour isn't that long for 40 miles, it takes me 50 minutes to travel 7 miles
You gonna get an exhaust for the bike? Not gonna lie the stock exhaust looks like a silly box. Love the 390 i have a 125 myself
Wooow I'm planning to acquire a duke 390 as well !
I thought this might end up like BvG's green-laning experience for a moment. "Just take this off-road..{falls off cliff}"
Hey, it looks like you are riding around the back of the Melbourne airport area. Can't remember the name of the road but i assume that's the one. That bridge at the beginning is characteristic.
I want a recommendation out of 2 bikes.
It's out of the rvf400/vfr400 or the ninja 300.
I can afford both of them.
ABS is nice but it's not a necessity.
I'm mainly wondering which has the best handing.
5 bikes? holy crap. You're loaded! How do you cover the insurance if theft is so rampant in Melbourne?
4:25 Thats one of my favourite spots to watch aircraft coming in to Melbourne airport! Hahahaha awesome video man I'm about to go take my learners in the next coming weeks and I'll be in the market for a bike soon.
Was going for either a Ducati monster or the Triumph street triple however I can't justify 12k for a bike I'll be learning on. Might have to give the KTM a go! Seems like your really enjoying it!
@RidingWithTom could you please do a gear break down on what gear you use for your road bikes and what gear you use for your dirt bikes, This would be very helpfull to me as im only just about to start learning how to ride a bike and im looking for some good gear, thanks man! (:
SUPERB..................................
MORE DUKE VIDEOS PLEASE!!
What bikes do you have now? KTM 690, KTM 390 Duke, S1000RR, Yamaha 125 sport bike and WR250, right?
Nice video as always man! I love the duke 390, but can you do a test ride of the 2016 cb500f and compare the two?
I'd love to have a ride on one of those!!
looks like the roads off Mad Max when he is chasing the bikers.
Tom! I moved to Melbourne last year from Denmark, but have been watching your videos since you had a ninja 250 :D I now ride around on a SV650S and would really appreciate if you could tell me where abouts you are in the video? I recognise the place from when you reviewed the old s1000r aswell, and think it looks like a really cool place! :)
Tom, could you explain why you bought this instead of a 690 ? I've got a fz07 and consider getting this, would that be a downgrade? besides the obvious stuff. I mean in riding quality, fun factor and so on
Are you getting a cut from those sales Tom? That UTM game on point.
gonna buy one of these for my 1st learner bike soon when my car sells
I'm 6'4" deciding between this, klr 650 and the cb500f and tips on where I should go and what weeks best for height
I added this below in a sub comment, but I'll put it here at the head as well. The Duke 200/RC 200 and Duke 390/RC 390 will from 2017 be manufactured (assembled) in the Philippines from components made in the Philippines, Austria and India, and probably China, but that is a guess.

I'm not talking about other products, I'm just talking about motorcycles, it's like if I was talking about cars and phones, I wouldn't want a car made in China but a phone made in China is fine (iPhones are made in China) honestly I can't think of one thing I own made in India except maybe clothes made in Bangladesh which isn't really India but close.
I work in IT in Australia which means I work heavily with India, we have offices in Chennai and more then half my team in Australia is Indian. I asked one of them just now if he would buy a Tata over a Toyota and he said shit no. I asked why and he said India don't make as good a car as Japan and I feel the same way about bikes.
This could change though, I mean Korean cars used to be JUNK but now they are getting extremely good and very comparable to a Japanese manufacturer.
+RidingWithTom KTM is pretty cheap quality tho you will be visiting service center quiet lot of time. The alloy rims are very easily damaged, mine broke just by getting hit my a small stone. not the whole thing but a small piece of fall of
+RidingWithTom indian manufacturers have a lot to catch up with europeans but there is absolutely no match with japanese, they are the best. ktm here in india with bad quality plastic is plausible cos they are selling cheaper in comparison to ninja 300 and R3 in and the irony here is the indian manufacturer 'bajaj' which manufactures ktm 200 and 390 cc bikes, manufactures its bike in better quality plastic and that too at very less price with ktms.
