Yessir! Now if a "R" model is not too far behind, this will be a game changer!New KTM 390 Adventure Unveiled at EICMA -Yes It’s Finally Here! - ADV Pulse
It’s been 7 years since KTM CEO Stefan Pierer first mentioned in an interview they would be producing an all-new dual-sport model based on the Duke 390 platform, and every year since then it seemed like its release was imminent. Over time, we grew numb to any rumors about the KTM 390 Adventure...www.advpulse.com
This seems like the bike people have been asking for a long time.
I'm certainly interested.
I've got a 390 off at College right now. It has about 4k miles on it and climbing.Looks cool but I've heard that the 390 Duke has a bunch of issues. Good for light offroad just like the wee Versys.
I wish KTM made away with their insect looking headlights.
Doesn't have as much suspension travel, but that might not be important to most. I'm looking for more travel. When I ride my Scrambler off road that's honestly the only thing that bothers me.By comparison:
The 2020 Honda CB500X is $500 more, 55 lbs heavier, 100 more cc's, a smoother parallel twin engine and probably quite a bit more reliable.
But it lacks all the fancy bits like TFT, quickshifter, etc.
I agree, the KTM mashing wears thin especially from folks that don't even own them. With modern bikes very rare we pull anything out of the woods not running. Numerous s/x championships, almost every offroad championship belongs to them. Go to an offroad race see what's lining up. Pretty good for unreliable machines. smhAlot of bikes have alot of "issues".
The ktms and huskys around me seem to be fine
Don't know answer but interesting question, I don't care about top speed but cruise speed makes a big difference to me.What do you think the top speed of this is? What do you think its max realistic cruising speed is?
My 390 duke will do just under 100 mph as top speed with a 250 pound rider. It can cruise all day at 85.What do you think the top speed of this is? What do you think its max realistic cruising speed is?
It's actually really smooth at speed. Small displacement twins don't vibrate that much in my experience.Google says top speed on Duke 390 is 104 mph, so maybe 95 mph for this one?
Cruising speed? Depends how much you like your molars
