LOVED my 2019 390. This new one looks AWESOME. Great bike.
4:45 *correction* the 2024 390 Duke has Michelin Power 6’s which are yet to be announced by any media outlet or company. However the model label can be seen on the tyres in some of the press photos.
I've had a 2019 for 3 years and put 35k kilometres on it. They are great bikes, and this new one is gonna be even better

The main issue with 390s is the overheating. It has been solved on 390 Adv with the new coved radiator. And this new Duke has it. This will definitely going to be better.

@nostraware I've run a 390 gen 2 for 3 years and 32k kilometres. I live in a hot tropical country. The bike has never even got close to over heating. The temp indicator stay stable at half way. The coolant doesn't even drop. Hardly ever need to top up. I just change it out every year.

I sat on one yesterday at the Triumph garage in Saigon. It feels amazing! Loved the look of the RC390 as well but not the best bike for the roads here, I'll go for the Duke for sure! RC390 would be great fun on UK twistie roads when I go home.
Stop calling fun bikes beginner bikes... Ride what you like, dont care for opinions of others, you will like riding more that way

I have the 21duke 390 and even though I think it looks good this new model looks awesome. Hope they don't overprice it as the previous models are the best value bike in Australia IMO.
Why does this look so much better than the 790/890? This legit looks like the super duke. In fact, the old version also looked better than the middle weights. So strange.
I love the looks and want to use it for every day riding but the previous generation was not comfy enough for my legs. I stand at 6.1 and I wish this time they did me the favor!!
Still surprised that they didn't share the same engine with the CFMOTO 450NK/SS/SR. Initially I thought it would only make sense that they would share an engine but knowing how KTM prioritizes torque, I think a bored up single cylinder engine is the best for them.
Nice bike. Looks like good engineering has gone into it. Would make an excellent commuter. I think I want one!
LOVE IT. Looks like a baby Super Duke. Also the tech? Awesome package. I love my GSXR 750 to death but these feature packed 400's are making me think about trading. These things are super reliable and IT HAS A SUPERMOTO MODE. And truth be told I've ridden all sorts of bikes and small displacements are so much more fun coz you're not always worried about breaking the speed limit, or finding big enough roads to feel that superbike power. Lower cc's the thrill factor out weighs the death factor perfectly. And I think the modern 400's have good power (enough to get some wheel spins, drifts, wheelies and good acceleration) and till this day one of the best handling bikes I've ever felt was a KTM RC125 a few years ago. That precise, lightweight ktm handling is a dream. You think it, it goes there. And you don't have to worry about being too rough on the throttle and losing the rear or high siding. Plus They teach you valuable skills that'll take you years to learn on big bikes.

I wonder what skills you are talking about here. I ride small displacement bikes, not by choice but because that's the only option in my country. I hate them so much. On highways, I always am afraid of cagers and trailers dragging me under their tires when they are passing me. Also, I don't like the scream of the engine when I try to keep up with traffic, the engine sounds like it's going to explode. Finally, because of always operating the engine at its max capacity, these bikes get wasted too fast. My current one (a 200cc naked) is now at 35k km and I am already considering buying a new one since the engine is almost done with.

Had triumph 675r Daytona, loved it, not good on rough back roads and I could do 90 mph in 2nd gear. So way more bike then I would ever use. I’m 58. I got a 2008 990 superduke used, feel in love with ktm drive train. But it is very manic, ready to race and can’t do anything else😅. Plus repair bills can be costly, so I got a 2024 390 duke, and for the cost, and weight, I rip the back roads. Can’t wait to get the quickshifter. Because I’m finding you have to shift more often sometimes. Not bad, but different than a bigger bike.
I started on a first gen duke 390 and could not recommend this bike more for beginners. The years of quality upgrades have proven KTM deserves a slot in those typical 'best beginner bike' list - but in reality, it rarely actually gets mentioned. Crazy how dominate yamaha and kawa have on the us market when it comes to beginners.

I wonder, my last bike was a 2010 KTM 690 Duke. I had an accident the same year (2010) and been driving cars ever since. All these years later and now at 37 years old I wonder if this 390 Duke would be a good way to get back into this.🤔

If the 165kg wet weight figure is actually excluding fuel that would be rather odd. The "old" 390 was weighed at 160 kg wet including fuel and 149 kg dry. The "old old" 390 was even 10 kg less than that at 150 / 139 kg wet / dry but the missing ABS might be one of the major reasons there.

Is there a video of a head-to-head mash-up of the Triumph Speed 400 with the KTM Duke 390? Will be interesting to see how Bajaj (which now manufactures both these bikes, probably in the same factory at Chakan) has chosen to differentiate the two - especially negotiating with the Triumph bosses to ensure significant differences and thus, different customer segments for the two bikes.
No reviews seems to mention that there are options for 2 seat heights actually... One is standard for 820mm another is you can get 800mm but I'm not sure how that will work... Check ktm official spec sheet
I wonder what parts of this bike will fit my 2019 390 duke
Esthetic-wise, the biggest change is the relocation of the silencer. I don't like big silencers on the side of a motorcycle. I therefore welcome this approach of placing the silencer underneath the swingarm instead.
I wonder if they will incorporate similar changes on the RC390 as well since they got an all new bodywork just last year in 2022.
