KTM Duke 390 2017 - First Ride & Impressions (A2 Compliant Motorcycle)

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

What's going on Ladies and Gents?
Flo is currently in the local dealership for some TLC and I was kindly loaned the KTM Duke 390 in the interim. Great step up from the previous model and very sleek for a 390cc! It's A2 compliant right out the dealership.

    Dunno if anyone has said it yet but the ByBre brakes are "By Brembo" so they're still very good quality, just not as expensive or fancy as propert Brembos but for a cheaper bike, they still perform well. You can easily get the rear wheel off the ground if you pull the lever hard enough. Also the exhaust can be easily modified by core drilling out the silencer. It has a pretty nice sound without the silencer.

    I understand it's a loan bike, but too bad you didn't get a 690 Duke (A2 restricted). Would maybe be a better comparison against the MT-07 ? I get that in theory an A2 compliant bike has lower kW/HP compared to it's "normal" version - (thinking off 690 Duke /MT07), but actually driving them, what changes? - acceleration? / torque? / top speed?

    May I suggest a pointer with the cinematography? (I think that’s the right word). With your sweeping shots at the beginning, slow them down if you can. Whether that’s manually doing it slower or slowing down the footage. And try to eliminate shake cause it’s fairly obvious. Slowing down footage through an editor is gonna help with that

    Single Cylinder 390cc vs Two Cylinder 700cc (approx). I love the torque you get from the MT07 and it has FAR more potential when un-restricted. I'd 100% favour the MT07 any day but it's a bit of an unfair comparison. The Duke 790 vs MT07 would be interesting however.

    MGI Mills All good. Just go to a local dealership like I did. They’re great, especially if they’re small

    5.53 ktm claim that the 20q7 ktm duke 125 is 137kg dry. The 2017 390 is 139 kg (306 lb) dry, that is impressive, again that's what Ktm claim.
