Known as “The Corner Rocket”, the 390 Duke is another naked bike of the KTM brand that ensures maximum maneuverability and precision.
Attractive equipment includes a so-called ‘supermoto mode.’ Activated at a push of a button, the mode will only control the front brake, leaving the rear brake pressure to the rider’s right foot, KTM says, to push one’s riding skills to the limit. A fully digital instrument panel contains readouts such as two trip meters, gear indicator, a shift light, and clock. This particular feature has light-sensitivity, which automatically changes the backlight color depending on the outside conditions. A ride-by-wire throttle is also present.
The 390 Duke is motivated by a liquid-cooled, DOHC, four-valve, 373cc engine that makes 43hp and 37Nm of torque. It’s mated to a 6-speed manual transmission that uses a slipper clutch.
An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is one of the safety features as well as disc brakes.
The KTM Duke 390 is a beast of a motorcycle. It’s lightweight, easy to handle, yet it has the torque you need to make it fun on the streets and safe on the freeway. It might just be in the top 5 best beginner motorcycles out there.
The Duke 390 is the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing. It’s single cylinder engine comes in at a respectable 373cc’s, a bit larger than both the Ninja 300 or the the CBR 250, giving you more grunt when passing at higher speeds. With a single cylinder engine you expect more torque down low, and while the Duke 390 does have some, it really begins to shine in the mid range and higher RPM’s.
Even though this bike encourages you to be a bit of a hooligan, it really is set up perfectly for new riders. It doesn’t have excessive plastic fairings so it will be able to survive a drop much better than something fully faired. The way that the engine delivers power is also predictable and gives you practice shifting through the gears.
The bike is also lightweight, as most bikes in this class are. That REALLY helps when you are doing some low speed maneuvers and you get off balance. It’s much easier trying to save a smaller bike like this from a drop than it is some 600+ lb Harley Davidson.
