I bought an mt-03 over the duke mostly for the reliability. I've heard of issues like fragile oil pumps and burnt out heads on the duke while the R3/mt engine is fairly bombproof. The duke is super fun and feels a lot more pokey, to me it feels almost like a motard while the rider position and high reving engine on the mt feels closer to sports bike. The mt's suspension and brakes do leave a lot to be desired though.

i've had a 390 for 3 years now. it's been a blast. i bought a used 1290, kept both for a season, sold the1290. not saying it's better, they do not compare. just saying that 390 was more suitable formy needs, i use the bike as transportation and the 1290 is a weekend warrior, not a commuter. i mean... if you're 6 feet tall and don't care about the huge fuel consumption and insurance and maintenance costs... and it doesn't get too hot in the summer where you live ,then maybe it could be a commuter fo you. i live in rome (italy) and there's always traffic and the roads are all bumpy and when it rains the streets flood. the 390 never let me down, i rode it in 1 foot of water, i stand up on the pegs like on an enduro bike when the road is terrible or i have to go on and off sidewalks (yes we do park on sidewalks here) and i zip through traffic like i'm on a scooter. i'm so sad they discontinued the 690 duke, it was the perfect bike for me but i don't wanna get one used cause i prefer having warranty. i love the little 390 but i'd like some more grunt. i think i'll go 890 cause i got a car now, work mostly from home, so i could use a less practical bike as long as it doesn't get clumsy in traffic and it doesn't use more gas than my freacking car. a little version of the superduke might be the right choice for now.

People seem to be so scared by reliability. The MT-03 is just plain boring, the 390 is a blast. Get a 390, and if you are so worried about reliability, sell it once the 2 year warranty ends. I have had mine for 2 years and not a peep of an issue.

@dhirajprakash5197 3 года назад

I have 390 for past 3 years...who says it has reliability issue...just we need to service them on intervals...also Yamaha has frequent services than ktm...the parts are way superior in ktm

@sohambhattacharjee3233 4 года назад

In India its just the opposite.. Ktms are cheaper and yamaha is costlier.. your ktm looks like there are some cost cutting stuff even though its higher price tag.. but in India mt03 if lanched will be costliers even if there are cost cuttings.. such a sad fact..

Anyone who claims they would take the Yamaha over the Duke hasnt ridden a Duke. The first time you open the throttle up you're gonna feel like you've been cheated out of power on the yamaha. You cant replace the fun factor the torque of the 390's single gives you. The Duke begs you to be a hooligan on it. The parallel twin of the yamaha is snoozeville in the lower revs, the duke is fun all over.

@yammienoob 4 года назад

Basically the same opinion I have. The Duke is a much more fun motorcycle, it's a riot.

@MotoMedicine904 4 года назад

@@yammienoob even in comparison to the Z400 the Duke takes the win for me. These naked bikes deserve a fat hit of torque and in the proper placement of the rev band. The parallel twins take too long to really wake up. Parallel twins are fine and dandy for the sport bike faired versions but they feel out of place in the naked segement.

India is like KTM's biggest market for duke 390. it's cheaper than any other bike in the same category in India. and manufacture in India ..most rider will prefer Yamaha mt 03 in India just only how reliable it is and more expensive than duke 390 in India. most people will choose reliability over 1 min fun time!!!! my friends got duke 390 2019 model oh man they are struggling with this bike now want to get rid off haha don't get me wrong duke 390 is lots of fun but not reliable. and on the ktm website, they say cornering rocket but in the bike, there is no cornering abs just standard abs fitted duke 390 adventure has cornering abs fitted. false advertisement!
