TV ruins the soul from channels like this. They would have to have a break to talk about a sponsor or their product, tone down the dirty humor that we all love, and be produced by people out to make money. The good thing about YT is that there are no rules or regulations that crush creativity (besides the whole ad-sense thing I guess)

Why put it on tv when you get reviews like this in real time for free. Tv production takes months and months to release

Guys, live these kinds of videos. Anything with the funny interaction feel like the bbb series is always going to be a winner

Best motorcycle channel on youtube *period* It's amazing how much effort you put into coming up with unique and worthwhile content and don't even bother to monetize it. Bravo my dudes!

What the! I've seen the test video when it came out - but KZread never had this additional video shown for some reason; now I'm laid up nursing crash injuries, it seems there might be a wealth of 44Teeth content I have missed over the years!!! Time for some happy watching 😊

Great genuine review guys. Really enjoyed this. I nearly bought a KTM Duke some years ago in preparation for my full bike licence, the itch for one is still there, more so after watching this video! Thank you

Bikes now across all the Rangers have come so far. The KTM seems to do everything well. You could have a real hoot on either of these little ripper. Good show again lads.

Ah nice, was wondering if you'd review them after the Mod1 video. Amazing video as always! I feel like reviewing A2 bikes could make a great series (CB300, Ninja 400, G310R or even some of the restricted ones like the SV650 or the MT07)

I love my little Duke 390. I've literally crossed the country on it four times since getting it in December. Wicked little machine.

Fantastic high quality content as usual, every time a video comes out it never fails to amaze. Really can't say enough, the best is to echo what others have said: for sure one of the best (if not the absolute best) motorcycle channel on YT. ❤❤

I live in Japan now and bought my first motorbike last year. I was considering getting the KTM but the reliability issue is what killed it for me, I got the R3 instead. Everyone I know here who has owned a KTM Duke or RC390 has told me about its issues and here in Japan there aren't many shops that can service KTM bikes leading to higher upkeep costs and general pain in the ass. My R3 is an excellent commuting bike and fun on those day trips on the weekends, not to mention its rock solid reliability. And yes, the R3 is a stepping stone to something bigger like a R6 or ZX-6R but I feel like I'll definitely keep it around as my daily commute.

Another great review and content lads. Cheers

I work at a Dealership that sells both of these, I Hoon around on them a little too much 🤷🏽‍♂️

From India, was considering a purchase between the two. Thanks for your inputs. Coming from the pros, always a delight. I personally would be going with the r3.

One of these with the Ninja 400 and the MT-03 would be fantastic, keep up the great work guys :)

The r3 is a lot of fun at the track. But it's badly in need of suspension and tire upgrades, especially for riders over 120 lbs. And once you take off the fender and replace the blinkers, mirrors, and windscreen, the r3 really does look great. The used market is so good for these bikes. Sure the Kawi 400 is a better bike, but you can't find one a couple years old for under $3k.

Awesome review chaps! saw you blast past the Copthorne hotel next time your in sussex let me know!

I have a 2020 390 Duke and I love it. I got it second hand from an old guy, 2 years old and only 1,200 km on the clock. Basically brand new and I got an amazing deal on it. The previous owner had core drilled the baffle out of the exhaust and it sounds way meatier than standard without being unbearably loud. It sounds kinda like a dirt bike. I love it. I have been shopping for my next bike, maybe a 790 Duke, but every time I ride the 390 (which is almost every day because I commute on it) then I realise that I don't need a new bike, this thing is frickn awesome and I love it.

Those Dukes are super super nice in any capacity 👌

Top quality entertainment and fantastic bike reviews! Loving 44 teeth! 😁

Another great review,. You two are class, why are you not on main stream TV?

For my A2 bike I thought a little outside the box and bought a 1979 cb400... Would be fantastic to see a side by side comparison between these newer A2 specific bikes and older bikes that just so happen to be slow

R3 is starting to show it's age. Wouldn't be surprised to see Yamaha update it this year!

You should consider doing a series on the old 400 4 cylinders as they are a2 compliant and are in general cheaper than the newer a2 bikes and with far better components and parts.

Since you are comparing with the duke, why not yamaha mt-03? pairs should be duke - mt03 and rc - r3

This video is a godsend, couldn't choose between the two. Defo now going with the Duke for my first big bike

MackP the RC is just a Duke with fairings, both are based on the same platform

Great review..... I love my 2017 Duke 390.... best little A2 bike for the city.... chuck an Arrow slip on without the spark arrestor and it sounds meaty and gurgly ....... and the cracks and pops are a treat.

I race a Yamaha R3 in the British Junior Supersport and I have also raced the RC 390 in the KTM cup but I found the Yamaha handling was better, however lacks on speed and mid range punch. Not sure how similar RC is to the duke other than the handlebars and fairing, but I would have an R3 over KTM.

Everybody does not race.....Dude..

Would be nice to see the 390 vs the MT03 for A2 upright bikes

Cool. I definetely agree on the Naked vs. racer argument, but then so has the entire industy and community, hasn't it really? Would love to see a serious comparo test, of how the Duke does alongside the Scrambler 62 and the G310R :)

The r3, with a few mods, seems like a very good first trackday bike for building skills and learning how to keep your momentum up. As well as a bike to keep around to refresh one on the fundamentals. Also, on a really technical track, I bet it would be a blast!

It’d be cool to see some of the restricted options compared, I’m on a monster 797 restricted for A2 and I’d love to see that against an MT07 etc

That intro.. spectacular. Makes me want to immediately purchase a saxophone.. and a KTM

Just sold my 390 for street triple , I'm missing it ☹️ was more on the road , great works chaps by the way 😘

What you don't consider is the long trip capability. In the USA we have many high speed tarmac, and R3 gives you wind protection. Also it hold to sport saddlebags in the rear, a tank bag, and for long trips a top bag in the rear. I agree with the short comings, and I found an aftermarket seat was absolutely necessary for a 400 mile one day trip. Metzeler Sportec M7RR 110/70 front but a wider 150/60 rear tyre makes a serious difference in all aspects of the bike.

Double bloody review 👍😄

Another awesome video

44 teeth best UK biking content out there good job laddddssss

The R3 is probably called the R3 because there is a race series for them. I agree it's a shadow of the R1 & R6, but the R3 and R150 (available is Asia) both have their own championship.

You seriously need to get your arses over here to Ireland for the craic. Awesome roads up the mountains, and being an instructor at Mondello Park, I'm sure we can arrange a couple of laps for ya there too! ;)

i would like to see you guys try the cb500f if you guys ever do an a2 license comparison

I am going to be doing my A2 soon and the bike that I would really like to get is the Kawasaki z300, the looks and coming off a 125 with 9 bhp the power of the z300 will be enough for me for 2-3 years maybe more

3.40 I always have time for a bit of 'Razzle Dazzle'! I borrowed a 390 Duke while my 690R was having some recall work and was amazed at how good it was.

i love my r3 and i daily ride it and i got alot of mods for it already which makes it look so much better im keeping mines for longevity i have it 1yr and 3 months and 11k miles already and dont plan on getting rid of it anytime soon

Hey I thought I recognised those roads! Awesome video.

I completely agree with you two again

Trying to figure out my first bike..tossing up between mt07, cb500f or 390 duke.. Any suggestions fellas?

Hi Guys, I have a question for Chris. I know that you are a tall rider, would the KTM fit a 6ft 4" male, and is the 390 frame the same size as the 125cc?. Keep up the good work guy's.

Please get a 790 Duke vid up! You boys will love it :D

I missed out on the whole small capacity bike thing in doing a direct access and going straight to a cbr600, took it in for a service the other day and had a loan cb500x for the day. Had an absolute blast going everywhere full gas and being so light, definitely made me reconsider my choices for my next bike.

Great job from the 44 teeth chaps as usual.

This channel and smooth jazz music lmao yall kill me.

Can you turn off abs on the r3 like the duke 390???

I can't argue with their points but I still want an R3...I kinda want the mock sports bike because I want to do track days and i already have an upright bike. A 2017 Triumph T120. I feel like getting a 390 is too samey because it's the same style body position wise as my Triumph

Guys do i get Two Stickers for the price or are they priced for a single sticker? i was going to order but dont fancy spending £10 on one sticker if that is the case many thanks

You mention that the R3 is a crossplane, I thought it was only a 180 degree. Or am I wrong? Because I would like to hear a small cc parallel twin crossplane.

Ninja 300 or the 390 duke? Which one to go for?

I ride a 2006 zx6r, thinking of going to a 390 Duke, a few reasons including easier maintainence, the price of fuel but mostly comfort of being more upright.

what would be cool is a A2 naked shootout between the 390 duke and the honda cb500F as thats on the limit for the A2 restriction

Take a look at the Honda CBR500 please ! a review on one of those would be ideal - top end engines on an A2 license

I'd like to see something like these bikes compared against an older bike like a MC22 cbr250rr from the early 90's... The MC22's were awesome bikes if you're wanting a sportsbike to learn on... I genuinely miss mine despite owning and riding much bigger, better, bikes.

Interesting video. I’m in NZ and about to go for my learner license which is up to 660cc depending on power to weight ratio. I’ve been ripping on a Yamaha rd50 which only requires a car license so far, but I’m torn between the parallel twin of the mt-03 or a bmw 310 or ktm

When are you getting your hands on 2024 390 Duke? It comes with Apex suspension and removes one of the two bottlenecks of suspension and brakes. Cheers!

Baron has been matching his bikes to his boots of late, or is it the other way around. Orange for the Duke 390, green for the ZX7R. Think it influences his opinion ;-P

I own a 2017 Duke 390. Fantastic bike. Lots of fun to ride.

So when are you guys going to ride to Morocco on them two then ?

what boots are you wearing? I love the orange

One thing i was thinking about is the fact that the Duke 390 can be ridden anywhere in the world comfortably and it's absolutely beautiful anywhere in the world - in cities that have limited infrastructure, offroad, highways, in the himalayas and the Himachal Pradesh, in bad traffic, on poor roads and even on great roads it's fun as the power comes early and it can be thrashed around. True all rounder.

Junior Jizz-Machine stickers for the KTM Baron?

how come people dislike this vid? brilliant stuff guys

Please compare KTM RC 390 and Yamaha R3

I think you need to add one more element to your comparison test, the LCR muffin under the seat test. 😂😂😂

My 2015 model had an ecu issue where the bike ran so lean, the engine did an emergency shutoff after idling 5 minutes on a cold engine, it would already be at operating temp after 2 minutes of idle. That was fixed by the dealer however, she works great now :)

I would definitely get the new R3 because of overall quality feel, looks and highway-ability. The 390 is a riot with such a good engine but when I test rode it, it kept feeling like it was about to brake. It surely was not but it felt like it. I just hope that the engine on the R3 is not going to get boring to quickly and that the position will not be to radical coming from a Yamaha MT125.
