2020 KTM 390 Adventure | Small capacity, Big fun!
#KTM390 Adventure
The KTM 390 adventure is the smallest bike in KTM's travel range, but is it just a gateway into adventure riding? What it might lack in capacity it makes up for in character, practicality and sheer fun. In the time I had the bike I rode on Motorways, A-Roads, B-Roads and dirt tracks. Not only is it a handy little adventurer, but it would also make for an excellent commuter. Its priced well and is A2 licence compliant so would make for an ideal starting point into the world of bigger bikes, but having said that there is a place for the plucky little orange machine in many a riders garage. The KTM 390 Adventure, small capacity, Big Fun!

The great little bike! I’ve put 3000 miles on mine so far!
Great video! I own a 2021 Honda CB 500 X and I’m seriously thinking of purchasing a 2023 KTM 390 adventure to replace it as it is much lighter. I would appreciate any feedback concerning the two motorcycles that you may have to offer? Cheers and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Great thourough review, thanks for sharing :)
"Sounds like an angry hair drier." 🤣 Good one. Never heard that one before.👍
Given it's more powerful than a DR-Z400, OK weighs a bit more due to Euro5 and EU regulations(ABS), I don't call these bikes "wee" ...I'd happily take that for the 25.000ml trek up through the Americas, albeit a few changes, like wire spoked wheels and a 1 piece seat(usual sumpguard, Cycra handguards, etc). More than capable!
do you have experience with 310 GS bmw or kawaski versys 300 ? If so, any comparison?
I'm a new rider and this is my first bike. I agree that the seat is not very comfortable. After 60-90 minutes I need to get off. Also, I'm 5'9" and I find the wind screen too low even when in the highest position. Man Cave is right on all points.
Hi can I ask is it a small bike? It looks small? How does it stand say next to Honda cb500x, ie small,same, bigger?
I think it will be fine for two up touring especially where I live in Thailand. You can get a metal bash plate plate, you can also get an Ergo seat for passenger and rider
Great review :-) Got my 390 adventure 3 weeks ago and my license 4 weeks ago :-) Perfect bike with alot of fun!
For 2 up touring for the price of the KTM 390 Adventure just get 2 and each have your own bike, they are less than 1/2 the price of some of the bigger bikes, and it will also make more room to carry your camping gear.
Very sympathic presentation :-) I ordered the KTM 390 Adventure 2 days ago
Love the review, picking mine up tomorrow (Friday) ideal to explore the islands of the Philippines..
It has lots of electronics for the range.....
Great review with lots of useful and interesting information and well presented. I am considering this bike 1. Because I am 6’3” and 2. Being 68 I need a lighter weight bike to man handle around the garage. Job done I think. Thanks.
I’m considering the 2021 KTM 390 Adventure vs the NEW updated 2021 BMW G310 GS.
Thank you for your review! I trying to decide between the KTM and the Honda 500x. I don’t have any dealers within 100 miles so I haven’t gotten a chance to sit on either. I’m also intrigued by the news of a Norden version of the KTM and also the prospects of the KTM 490. I’m currently using a DRZ 400 SM for commuting and would like a more comfortable road machine without limiting my dirt road excursions.
I have to say I never considered this because of its small capacity, but your review title caught my eye ie Fun. I liked your 500x review because this was my first choice, but now I am not so sure.
I am 6’’4 and I really like this bike, do u think it’s tall enough for me?
Well-made material. Important and useful information contained in the video.
