2017 KTM Duke 390 Road Test - Real Life Review | MotorBeam

- www.motorbeam.com road tests the 2017 KTM Duke 390 while comparing it with the old Duke 390 to see how big a leap is there in the second generation model. Both these motorcycles signal affordable performance biking for India with the latest generation Duke 390 offering a lot of tech and refinement over its predessor.
While the 2017 KTM Duke 390 is priced at a premium, it features a bigger fuel tank that gives it a better range although the mileage of both bikes is more or less the same. The best performance bike you can buy in India on a budget, when it comes to single-cylinder motorcycles, nothing comes close to the 2017 KTM Duke 390.
The 2017 KTM Duke 390 is not only fast but offers a better ride quality than before, it even handles better but gets inferior, low-rated Metzeler tyres. The new bike's all LED headlight and TFT instrument cluster was subject to a recall due to issues of flickering and compatitibility with Android phones respectively.

Old with Underbelly exhaust was a machine to remember.
No Faisal?? dammit
Faisal Khan sweet! :)
Faisal Khan road review next year?
Voice or Sound clarity is not at all good... At times cant understand what's he is saying..
Never had a problem with Faisal's signature voice even in lowest sound in my phone.
I have Redmi note 4. Mostly i use external speaker.
Faisal Khan i am addicted to your clear and crisp voice :D
Wtf😂
Nice video, love the stoppie on the ABS bike. I too like white more, wonder why KTM is not offering it to us, stop playing with us by luring us with colours!!!
Faisal Khan Are you sure? Was gonna book the bike sometime near Diwali. Will wait longer for white. 😂
Akash Sharma Now launched
where Faisal khan ?
Faisal Khan Ooooh that explains why you ain't in the video... 😉
love the white colour !!
Easily my most fav KTM India bike ever!
I Didn't Understood What He Was Saying😔😔
Vocal quality is poor and video standard is not upto Ur own benchmarks...
Faisal Khan Redmi Note 4
Faisal Khan Can U Be Next Tym?
Abhinay,U Know How Redmi Note 4's Quality Is
Nice video.......a very honest take on the new Duke 390. Most auto journalists evade speaking about the older generation model being significantly faster than the current one but you guys pointed it. Cheers to that.
+Reetabrata Bhattacharya thanks buddy.
Simply great review Gavin, enjoyed watching the video.
Seriously Audio was so bad 👎
Awaiting road test of both the new RCs
I could not understand this statement "800m drag race 2017 duke 390 wins" 400m? what exactly did you mean to say ? New duke 390 is very slow bike? Can you explain
Much better exhaust note? Oh lol okay I guess they went from 2 stroke auto to 4 stroke auto rickshaw
Faisal Khan haha yeah!
Copyrights Can suck IT Sounds a little likea mix of TVS centra and Hero CD dawn with the new exhaust note.
Thank you for this vedio .. I was thinking of buying this 2017 model bt then I saw tiz vedio nd also of others .. this 2017 model is good till 130 kmph after tat .. its a shit man ... Aisa lagraha bheek mangte mangte Mar Mar k reaching 165 kmph .. 2015 model was d best .. 177 kmph with ease ... 400 drag ho ya 800 ya 1 mile older 390 will kill this bs4 shit
zoheb khan This one doesn't have a stalling engine. Lesser top speed is good for engine life.
zoheb khan bhai.. tum Hyderabad wale to nai...
big dude nailing wheelie and stoppie.....
All I was hating the older 390 for its brutal acceleration and low weight, that was unsafe combination. finally that is resolved. Linear acceleration with gud throttle response is always a safer.
#yamahafan
Ashwin S Sahi baat h bhai
very informative and well put together!
Guys any news on the TVS Akula 310 😥😥
want faisal khan in videos 😎😎
Hey dude white colour is available my friend has it
i wanna review of yamaha enticer and rx100
Bhai kabhi Autorickshaw ka bhi review kar de #motorbeam 😁😁😁
both r best on their ways🚦
+Níthéèsh Sêngûttûvãn indeed.
I guess that old d390 is of faisal sir
Does it overheat and stall in dense traffic ?
Please suggest what should I buy....duke 390 or apache 310....my use will be daily commute and also touring upto some extent..please suggest
Looking forward for Rc 390 2017
Very good review and camparo, well shot also 👍
No dramas, good review!
+Karan Giri thanks.
in Duke 200.... which is the best and look colour?
Hey! How good is the refinement of this bike if compared to that of the FZ25? PS, add a note on the presence/absence of vibrations.
Faisal Khan So is it safe to say that the refinement of the duke is at par with that of the FZ?
Akash Deokate Thanks, I needed to hear that.
Do you pull that front tire up in the air in First gear or second? Which is best? I ask because I see guys going down the road pretty fast sometimes and they suddenly pull it up into a wheelie.....
Hi Faisal, is it possible to swap the front end of the 2016 duke 390 with the 2017 one? I think that's all the old bike needs..better brakes and damping. You could make a video about it!
Voice is too muffled compared to previous videos. Background score louder than vocals. Something motorbeam should work on. Such an important review let down by recording issues.
Neat presentation maahn..👍
Thank you.
whether any new Honda bikes will available in 2018( pulsar apache and KTM is boring
Is the sitting posture good for long distance touring?
For some reason with the audio, it was difficult to understand what he was saying.
Good review though, I own the new duke myself!
Don't u guys have a good mic for recording?
Nice video
Can you please make a video pointing differences between duke 390 and rc 390
Are you using tarmac nomad riding pants at the track.if yes please share the quality and comfort during knee dragging
Faisal is the heart of Motorbeam.Sorry to say but i didn't liked the reviewer.We need Faisal for these kinds of Reviews.
Old is also good bike no need to upgrade as such at this moment i think
Faisal Khan Yup i do understand,u have much more knowledge then me bt i have observed that the scenerio is becoming like ppl are selling their old bikes in large quantity n they buying new one i dont think that it is that much necessory to go for same updated bike at the present moment
I'd still prefer the old one over the new one anyday.
Make a video about new duke 200
Apache rtr 200 4v or ns200 bs4 version? Which is more refine more comfortable?
No need of abs or parelli
Please suggest motorbeam
Apache.
Thanks😊
Good review by the new guy
Nice review, hows the acceleration and comfort levels in compare to Dominar 400?
+akshay rahate much better acceleration but slightly less comfortable.
In is both which is good to buy
The audio quality was poor, as someone mentioned below, we were not able to clearly hear the comments.. The voice seemed muffled..
Im buffering on my smartphone onto my smart TV..
bhai that highway location is sooper ! which is that drag race highway?
which bike is fast old vs new
Hi ! Do you guys have any info about when KTM Duke 125 gonna launch in INDIA ?
That subliminal auto rickshaw message tho 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha, you got it ;p
Bhai i have to buy new bike with royal fell which bike is best my budget is 1.60 lack...?
Faisal Khan Make one more video on old gen RC390 & 2017 RC390
Sure.
MotorBeam thnq.....make it soooon........asap....
Motor beam can you pls make a video on Top5/6/10 worst Indian Sports bike. I can't find this video anywhere over YT. PS make One.
U dint review the abs guys
I think you should probably change the title of your video to old v/s new duke 390 ..... Cause this video surely didn't seem like a real world test
Dude White Color is available in my City everyone has white cause orange is dark.
Thanks
hello I need a new bike with budjet 1.5lakhs and I have already used Unicron can one help me to which bike is good in this price
fz25 or rs200
Wow super 3 Auto rickshaws are awesome 😎
Faisal dude where are you....?
I am Waiting for Black Colour varient or 2018 Duke 200 which will have black
We need a review on 2017 BS4 RE HIMALYAN FI..! please please please.
We will.
How much this bike costs?
Are there vibrations
Lol the Auto Rickshaw meme!!
Good joke bro....
This kind of review for dominar400
Please turn down the background music, it's so loud i can't listen what he was saying
Y'all gotta work on the sound quality..
2017 duke 390 doesn't give a typical bike feel & look. I think Old model is better
Faisal Khan yes. Because I had old 390😎😎 😂😂
nice review :D
Is it perfect for a 5'11 guy? Perfect in the sense that not feeling cramped as with the older duke.
this bike is made especially for tall riders. only 5 foot 8 guys can flat foot it, so go ahead
Hi guys
I have 2 questions for y'all
1. How refined is the 2017 390 engine on a scale of 1 to 10
2. Refinement compared to rtr200 (if it can even be compared)
Contemplating whether to go for the any 390 or not
Thanks in advance
The engine is very refined, more refined than the Apache 200.
Where is faizal khan.... he is good reviewer....
Can we change the rare tyre of rtr200 to a bigger one
Yes we can but it's not needed.
is it only me....the audio sucks 😫 ...not expected from the stable of Faisal bhai
+Hardik Agrawal sorry, won't happen next time.
I thought king faisal khan would do review of my dream bike 😐😐

Waiting for watching beneli tornado 302 r review

+farhaz mansoori yes, that's right.
Op 3T at 1 51😍
720p? You'll need to come out of the stone age
+behzad magra 1080 is available.
Badly missing Faisal khan........
2016 vs 2017 rc 390 please
Totally sounds like RS200
0 to 100 km/h time mentioned is wrong
KTM RC 250 abs kab launch hogi ? Any ideas
Old model is lighter n has same power which means its more fun and better in my book.
What is the mrp of duke???
I own a 2014 duke 390. Most of my friends,-fellow owners of older duke 390 have bought the 2017 duke 390. One thing they all say is that "new 390 lacks soul".i havent ridden the 2017 model, so i can t vouch for that statement though.truth be told, my 390's brakes suck!
Old ones were fun to ride and live with even if they had their own set of problems.
For brakes upgrade to the new master cylinder and new brembo pads thats comes stock on the new bike.
ENDING OF THIS VIDEO .THE MOTORBEAM CHANNEL. 😂 IT SAYS THE AUTORIKSHA EXHAUST AND DUKE EXHAUST NOT HAVING ANY DIFFERENCE FROM TILL NOW 😂
+baby lol you got the subtle hint?
MotorBeam...... .......😂DONT ASK 😂
which is fast faisal bro old one or new one ???
Faisal Khan is it significantly faster?
Faisal Khan would've been nice if you guys do a speed test.
Bro can we change the reading of kms like 10000 to 5000 in duke 2017 model? Just want to know?
Why an auto rickshaw? Because KTM sounds like one?
Suggest me 3 bike under 2lakh
Priority is
1. durable engine
2. Performance
3. Comfort
FZ25.
the voice clarity is not at all good.
