- I test ride the 2023 KTM 390 Duke and give my initial impressions on how it rides. POV video of my first time riding the KTM Duke 390.
The 390 Duke is one of smaller naked bikes from KTM. The KTM 200 Duke is also available in the lineup. Is this the best beginner motorcycle on the market? Watch to find out. This bike has very similar horsepower numbers to the Kawasaki Ninja 400 and the Z400. I directly compare this bike to some of the other beginner bikes on the market.

Looking to get one of these! See one used at a local dealer…stopping by tomorrow 🤞🏽
Great review. I have a 2021 version, I really like it. Like a massive Grom. Dumped that hideous standard silencer and those standard mirrors and fitted a Scorpion Red Power exhaust and KTM bar end mirrors.
I got a 2021 version too for my 1st bike last October and have been forced to basically stare at it up until this month due to the nippy winter months lol how are those KTM bar mirrors working for you I’m thinking of doing the same. (& where did you get yours?)
@Alpha Used but like new off ebay.
It's the rubbers on the mirrors that make them hideous. I just took the rubber off. No rust after 2 years. I put a Leo Vince GP 1 exhaust on to replace the old tractor looking exhaust that was horrible to look at and listen to and I still can't understand why the rear spring on the suspension is white. Apart from that I can't believe how good this 373 cc motorcycle rides. It's better than a beginner bike IMO 🎉🎉🎉
I've been riding since late 80's. I rode the 200+ mph ones all through my 20's and 30's...I guess I'm a beginner now because I LOVE these small displacement bikes. No more liter bikes for me in this life.
Yep, same for me
I’m 58, currently have a ktm 990 duke. Rides awesome, but for backroads and occasional freeway it’s overkill. I’m going to get this 390 duke. Best for the backroads and can pass at 85mph if you needed to. I think this could be fun without all the weight.
Beautiful sound!!!
I just subscribed from Australia and also just bought one of these 3 weeks ago in the exact same color as the one you are riding. It was US$4646.46 ride away. Everything is now run in and it's a really fun little bike if a tad on the heavy side however I realize it's made to a very low price. Good video! Have fun.
hey ı am planning to buy it in 2 weeks its 200.000 in here while average salary is 8500… do you think can ı control it. Im a beginner but I trust myself
on the heavy side.. yea right. they're really not.
Nice review.. agree with everything you said! Also is your high beams on?
It's more than a beginner bike IMO. It's just so much fun and easy to ride. I would describe it as a Motorcross bike designed for city suburb roads. After the warranty was up i put a 14 tooth sprocket on the front and it gave it a feeling of more torque and i believe made it a better bike. That's the 22 model not the 23 i think. The 23 has black wheels and is darker . Excellent review 🎉🎉🎉
You can easily cut out the silcencer in the end of the exhaust with a 1.5" core drill and it makes the bike sound a lot meatier. It's almost like KTM designed it like that for regulations but made it easy for the owner to make it sound like a proper KTM with minimal effort. Mine 2020 has this mod and it sounds great. No need for aftermarket exhaust unless you want the look.
are you talking about the DB Killer
@@xitachiplayz755 Yes. DB killer, baffle, silencer. Same thing.
What do you think of the BMW G310GS, any comments?
Recommend as a first bike?
This is a '21??
Nice Demo ride.
Does it not have a QS in the USA? Up and down from 2021? Would be nice to see you on really twisties. It's not a highway motor.
QS is an additional cost option for US models.
Bro just called it beginner bike 😆
I know right? I have 22 bikes, the Duke 390 is the one I use everyday...
