You do know that's not me, just sharing their story? Showing how impressive the little bike is. Believe the other rider was Todd Tarver.

I thought it was you! My bad.

 

[woodsguy]

Lol. Just didn't want credit for what I didn't and couldn't do.

Anyone changed sprockets on their 390? I'm looking for a 14T front and a 47T rear steel.

4,100 miles on mine now. Just a few days shy of a year of ownership. Still digging it.

Great little bike for the rides I do.

I know you like electronic features. The '22 has offroad and street modes for TC. You better trade in that wore out 4.1K mile bike in pronto for a new '22 . You don't want technology leaving you behind.

Was hoping spokes!

Would love to see how they behave at elevation. FI is pure magic but when the air gets thin... it'll be interesting.

KTM Now Offering Spoked Wheels Option on 390 Adventure - ADV Pulse

Since we received our KTM 390 Adventure long-term test bike, it has proven to perform better than expected off-road over a range of different terrain. With a nimble chassis, along with a fairly stiff suspension, it’s a confidence inspiring machine on the trail. Yet it is still a bit of a mystery...

I would agree if they were tubeless like the current trend.

Still not tubeless? Guess the cast wheels are?

I had a Wr250r at 12000 ft loaded with my fat *** on it and it made it, albeit in first gear at wot but if the little whizzes can make it, this ought to be good.

 

[woodsguy]

WOT in first! Wow.

very well produced video there...

I'm really liking how manufacturers are now building smaller lighter ADV bikes without having to do the whole dual sport thing. I'm on a Royal Enfield Himalayan group and the amount of older riders who got tired of lugging around a big GS or GS alternative and swapped for the lighter more nibble bike amazes me.

Well I think it could have much to do with the price tags also. $6k versus $26k is a huge gap. Especially for those that don't take long extended rides anyway.

No, I think you're right. I certainly think that about the RE Himalayan... at $6K if I break something on the dirt (or lord forbid the street), it's way cheaper to repair it.

Is there any other bike out there at this price point with a similar electronics package?

The used market is full of gems. Sorry to momentarily hijack the KTM 390 thread.
