2017 KTM Duke 390 Video Review. The new gen Duke 390 gets substantial changes in terms of cosmetics, features & mechanicals. We ride it on Chakan test track
Call it the baby 1290 Super Duke R or the BMW G310R destroyer, the 2017 390 Duke is a new bike from KTM that is made in India and exported to the world. The older iteration of the 390 Duke was known for its aggressive nature and the ability to keep up with some parallel-twin bikes on the highway. The 2017 390 Duke does that too, but offers more features, is comfortable and has a design that can make the owner the talk of the town.
TL;DR: If you haven't booked the bike yet, run to the showroom owner's house now at midnight, pay the full amount and beg for the beast to be delivered at the earliest

Hahahaha! True that! The deliveries for the bike starting from 15th March or after, depending on how far the location (and other factors like taxes and more) from chakan! The bikes are getting dispatched! So the deliveries should start first in maharashtra considering the distance is less compared to other outlets at other states! Restless nights due to the delivery wait[emoji20] [emoji20]

Saw the 390 today. Vibrations are lesser than old duke 390.
But now quality has gone up.
Has anyone felt the same? I operated the switchgear and the way they click and press felt pretty good quality.
Anyone has real world experience on the vibrations while riding vs the old duke?

I had placed my hand on each part of the bike while revving it. The panels do vibrate. No vibrations on the handlebar. Footpegs come alive on higher rpms. Didnt notice any vibrations once I sat on the bike, but the seat extensions near the engine side were really very hot.

Yes bro... I used only 1st and 2nd gear as u can see in the video.... the revv limiter kicked in at 60 for 1st gear and around 80 for 2nd gear... And I took it till red line for both the gears.... But I didn't feel any vibrations from the tank and the handle bar.....
The sound I felt was bassy.... Like Apache RTR 200 [Any one felt the same??]

And Here is Duke 250 one... Felt the same as FZ25 but little more power.
I tested both FZ25 and D250 for a shorter distance so couldn't find much difference between these two.
One thing I really noticed in FZ 25 is that the gears are little hard. ESPECIALLY the 1st to 2nd Gear.
My Height is 5.4 or 5.5 I was worried that I wouldn't be able to ride the New D250 and D390. I could just tip toe on both of these. But As u can see I ripped it
