2024 KTM 390 Duke First Ride Review - Cycle News 

I had the 22 390Duke- loved it, traded on the 24 390Duke-blue, 398.63cc, 45.8HP, Fitted the black Remus pipe, barend mirrors, added carbon flyshield, painted the orange under seat strips gloss black, got the powerparts tank protector. Deleted rear footpegs and the round fork reflectors. Looks sharp. Ordered the cnc powerparts brake res caps and coolant cap. KTM are supplying more spare parts later in the year. Quickshifter is smooth & easy to use, I love kTm😁.

Thanks for a great review. I come from 1000cc naked bikes but I’m 58 and I wanted to give these a try. I was set on the previous 390 but they had the 2024 in California. In that awesome Org. I could have gotten a good deal on the older model, but the new ones got a lot of great changes and the quickshifter is supposed to to be spot on. It’s really fun, it’s a learning curve vs. bikes with more hp. But all the power is there you just have to rev that thing. I’m still in the break in period, when I can go higher then 7500 rpm’s it should even be more usable. I’m 6 feet and it is a bit petite, not bad, it’s just different. If it was bigger it wouldn’t ride the unique way that it does. If the ergo seat is 10mm higher that might be an improvement or maybe the stock on is fine

I love the underbelly exhaust

Such a sweet looking rig for an all around bike that thing is rad I really thinking about getting one.

I’m looking to get frame protection on this model and this is what I’m hoping for. The extended crash cages for the 390 in all the press photos look awesome. They actually make it look like more going on with the frame design. Totally solve the Boring b side problem. Don’t see them for sale anywhere. Weird! Also have to wait for more options on aftermarket exhaust. I think it’s going to be more complicated with the under exhaust, but the under slung exhaust is very sharp, reminds me of the 675r Daytona in a way.

From 5:31 to 5:55 the best footage ever!!!😍💯🤩

Chain goes........ "Hey!! Where in the hell is everybody!? " 🤔

I did 300км on new duke 390 2024- ventilator has crashed. The dealer cannot fix it for last month- no parts available. That is my first and last ktm.

I need one 😅

Isn't that a 2024 model year though? The title says 2023.

With a look only a squid under 30 could love....

I recently bought the 2024 gen3 390. Not too impressed with the bike parts quality. KTM is using substandards metal parts, cheap plastic, bad paint job, bad finish overall, zero unboxing experience as bikes are sold without any packaging, already used/ driven by the sales and warehouse team and some dumb decisions by KTM deisgn team. In fact the gen 2 was better in some ways. The only thing positive with this bike is the super aggressive performance and the large display. What KTM needs to do besides what all I have mentioned...create forums and easy access of information, manuals for all the models, improve their crappy Apps and backend server services. Also improve their sales and service network in India, availability of spares and ZERO availability of KTM accessories.
