I have this thing and it is sooo underrated. Look closer and it blows the competition out of the water.

I'm really excited seeing how well this little bike performs. In the last 10 years I've gone from a DR650>WR250R>VStrom650>Tiger800XC and now a 1290 Super Adventure R. The SAR is an amazing bike, 160HP and an outstanding suspension. But when things get rough, I'm reminded that its 550 lbs with skid and bags, 35" seat height and $18K-all things that have me riding it less than I expected. It's just overkill and too heavy for some of the riding I do-especially as I get older. The WR was just fine for the off-roading I did-but underpowered on road-it didn't handle hills at speed (and the DR was only minimally better-with a bad suspension). The 390 is 100 lbs lighter than the Tiger or Wee, 150 lbs lighter than the SAR stock-and 1/3 the cost of a SAR and 1/4 that of a typical GS. I'd also consider a 690 Enduro or 701, but frankly they are overkill for the off-road conditions and speed I ride-and they are twice the price of the 390. This looks like a bike to bring the fun back into the sport.

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV I really appreciate your video. I've watched every one I can find and this is the best of the bunch in terms of showing it's capabilities as a light ADV bike, in off-pavement conditions. Many reviewers are from actual dirt bike riders, and no, the 390 won't preform like a dedicated dirt bike-it's not fair to compare it to one. Other reviews are street bike riders just trying off-pavement riding for the first time. You have actual ADV riders-and give a very fair, honest comparison.

This is the most complete review I have seen of the 390 Adv, as an owner of one I'll agree on your expertise and my experience on this motorcycle, the only thing I don't like but is not a killer is the sound with the original muffler. Congrats on the channel, greetings from Mexico.

Some of the comfort I give up on the tarmac I gain on the offroad. It is nice to see someone finally acknowledge this bike is not just for beginners, short riders and woman riders. Every reviewer has gushed at how fun this bike is to ride but then states its for beginners. Rubbish, light weight is the way adventure bikes are trending. The low cost doesn't hurt either. I did replace the windscreen. The short one put the wind right on my chest. Cheers, and nice job.

Very comprehensive review.

So I already commented on this video about two months ago and frankly it convinced me to buy the 390. I bought it in mid winter here in northern part of the USA so I've only been to rack up about 550 miles. My first oil change will come this week. To say I'm happy with it would be a huge understatement. I agree with your review 100%. It is just such a fun forgiving bike to ride both on and off road. I'm going on a couple of longer adventure rides this summer and I can't believe I'm saying this but I've chosen to take the 390 over my 690 Enduro R on the first one. The only area I differ with you is the risers. I'm 6'2" with long legs and I can hardly see ahead while standing. It's my lone complaint about the bike. I've ordered a set of Rox adjustable risers and have already lowered the pegs a bit. I also bought the higher seat so the sitting geometry is very comfortable. I'm an older rider and look forward to many years of fun with this bike. Thanks for a fantastic review.

Since its cheap, light and frugal it would actually be a great long distance border crossing bike when you do a good bit solo. For solo adventure you need to be able to handle it iut if a ditch if you slide into one alone, handle it alone and so on. Its not breaking the bank for many more people making long distance mortage free adventure available for more people. Its beginner friendly which unfortunately is a bad word amongst many riding bikes. I dont want to be seen as a begynner i buy a 1250 which is horrible to handle offroad unless you can handle it properly. I think this bike would be awesome for most adventure bikers. Why? Because sadly i meet 90% of them never ever been in anything but maybe a hard packed gravel road. This would etable them. Since its not worth a fortune you dont collapse in suicidal thoughts if you have a spill. You can go to places your insurance will not cover and just buy a locally required liability insurance with no worries. When you go to a dealer they dont mention this do they? Oh are you going to Marocco here look at the 890 R it is perfect, oh well then i need a loan, and if my bike is stolen in Marocco i am in such deep shit economically i would Jump off a cliff. So your Dreams stats Dreams because you cannot go. Or the monthly pay makes you not afford to go far at all. By heavens if its leased you need to return it in perfect nick. No this bike answers a lot more than novice friendly, it solves getting a bike with warranty to do a heap if stuff you else could not.

If I had seen this review when I was looking for a small dual sport I would have paid it more attention, I've seen them since buying my CRF rally and really like the look of it... Great review and nice tip about the chain guide to stop sticks derailing the chain - I've never thought about that.

Motorcycle Adventure Dirtbike TV My only disappointment is that we will probably never see a similarly high tech, reasonably priced single cylinder 21/18 wheeled adv bike from Japan. For example, if Suzuki replaced the DR with such a bike, it would probably top the sales list. I would never contemplate a mag wheeled modified road bike, which is what the 390 really is but it is a testament to KTM that it easily got through your testing process very well, mostly due to your huge skill and experience. As you pointed out, there is nothing like a 30-70 kg weight advantage to make riding life easier and I would have hated to be on that GS. You have got to hand it to KTM-they now own this market sector and I read that they will produce a750 Adventure.

Told me nothing I didn’t already know - but I’ve had mine all summer. Excellent review and I agree with your assessment. I went 1,400 miles on the NEBDR taking all the difficult sections - not a hiccup. My stock skid plate does need replacement and I’d advise upgrading the hand guards as well. Bravo!

Dave, another comprehensive and excellently presente review. I have always been a great believer that it's so much more fun going fast on a slow bike, then it is going slow on a fast bike. I'm now hoping that KTM and their clients will see the benefits of placing a road going engine in a dirt oriented bike, with long service intervals and reliability ... basically, same as Yamaha did, 10 years ago, with their WR250R (I just wish the bloody Yam marketing team called it something else ... pilloks!)

@Kambojas Kambo Hello sir, Regarding 390 in jist I can say bike is ready good considering its price-point ..I was about to purchase the bike but the news of 490 adventure coming to indian market soon stopped me...yes it's true no bike is perfect and it applies on this one also..there are many points where ktm can improve it but main point to consider is what is your need or objective from bike and purchase accordingly..if budget is not your constraint then you should wait for 490.. plus there are so many videos on 390 you can watch ..if there is anything specific you want to know , let me know pls..

Great review and with great accuracy. I recently purchased one to share with my 18 year old son who is new to riding, and exactly what you spoke if in that some times I am just tired of wrestling with my 690 Enduro, or my Tiger 800! It is a relief to easily manage and negotiate the lighter weight and well balanced 390. It puts the joy back into riding this simple yet capable little bike. Thank you for always having great content with excellent opinion, fact, footage and accent ;) We always enjoy your channel. Your friends from Lake Tahoe California, USA! Cheers!

Love that a major bike manufacturer took smaller ADV bikes seriously. If this platform proves reliable I'm definitely getting one, but only time will tell.

Yeah looking forward to hearing about their long term reliability.

All your content is great stuff. love it. Based on the way you tested the bike, do you feel those cast wheels are good enough for it's intended use? thanks

Hi, Done about 4000km on my bike so far. Just love it! Good all rounder for the price. I rotated the handle bar a little forward and can now stand easily for long stretches at a time. Also remove the rubber insets on the foot pegs will give more room and a better fit. I am 1.70m tall and the bike fits me perfectly. Thanks for your great review. I agree with your assessment. I am from South Africa.

@@MotorcycleAdventureDirtbikeTV I'm looking forwards to it! Have a rtw ride coming up. The 390 Adventure's ergos doesn't suit me. Had more or less decided on the T7. The 300 Rally might be an even better option..? Not sure if I'll be able to test ride the Rally before I head out, as it won't get imported to my country this year - so need reliable reviews.

Superb review! I have a dirt bike that I love riding and have been looking to get into adventure riding. The big bikes just seem too intimidating, so I have been reading and watching tons of videos of smaller adventure bikes. I have been considering the KTM 390 Adventure, the BMW G310 GS, and the Kawasaki Versys X-300. I haven’t gone through all of your videos yet. If you know much about the other two, which of the three would you recommend as best overall?
