I bought this bike a year back, and since then every time I ride this bike it gives me the same satisfaction every time I ride it.
The Only Cons I think are the mileage and the power drop due to the norms, other than that there is nothing I can complain about. This Bike is an experience the throttle the brakes the confidence it gives completely justify its price.
If you haven't tried it or you don't have any idea about the power that a bike can give you. This bike is your first step.

Hello reader
if you're planning to buy KTM Duke 390 please consider reading this. I'm owning this bike for about 2 years now.
This is not any paid review, whatever am writing is just personal experience.
Firstly, buying is very much hassle-free if you're going for a cash purchase. Just remember to bargain. There is always room for price negotiation.
If you're going for EMI please check with multi banks for offers and interest percentage. And always go for a fixed rate of interest not floating. That can save you few thousand.
The second most important part is maintaining the bike.
Always try to do the servicing from an authorized service center. Not only it will extend the life of your bike, but at the same time it will be very helpful in times of any sort of emergency situation.
Don't have the miss conception that it's bajaj so the service cost will be less. Be ready to pay around 3k - 4k every time the bike goes for service. In every 10k - 12k km chain sprocket and clutch plate assembly need to be changed which roughly costs something around 9k. Do change the tires between 20k to 23k km. Mrf tyres don't last more than that.
What KTM is known for, Duke 390 absolutely stands strong over there. Fully loaded with power ' n ' specs, pick up is absolutely top-notch, till now I have managed to touch 168 km/l top end without any performance upgrade, with all stock parts. What we all want to know after buying a bike is what's the mileage of the bike. So far my bike delivers 330 kms of mileage in a full tank. But mostly, my bike is used on highways.
Try using Michelin road 5 tyres for better performance. Am using liquid moly street race mobil. Indeed it's better than Motul 7100 10w 50.
For chain clean and lube am using 66bhp products.
Pros and cons :-
Pros
1 > greats look and light weight.
2 > fully loaded with specs in this price category.
great value for money bike.
3 > easy availability to spare parts and wide range of
service centers.
4 > can be used for all purposes. Whether it's city
ride, off roading or touring.
5 > breaking is too good compared to re 350, BMW
310 r and Apache 310 r.
Cons
1 > have vibration issues.
2 > stalling of the bike going to be a permanent
issue.
3 > built quality is not that great.
4 > stock lights are horrible.

5When you get to push the limits & feel like you have strained you 4 months ago by Pruthvi C M

I bought a used 2017 BS4 390 Duke which had a odo reading of 25,000km. I liked the condition of the bike and it justified the extra money I paid compared to the market prices. So, talking about the bike! Ahh, what can I say!? Breathtaking. This is my first bike, I learned actual riding on this. Even though a 390 KTM is not considered a beginner bike here in India, I went for it and that's one of the best decisions of my life. Taste the power! Taste the acceleration! Experience the torque! You are never coming back from the wormhole of performance machines. Your craving starts for power. That's what this bike can do to a boy. I smile on the face from the root of the heart with fear and adrenaline rushing, and when you get to push the limits and feel like you have strained your bike enough, you'll park it aside and look back and smile with tears in your eyes, because of two reasons, one the experience, the thrill, oneness with the time and space, and the second the service and spares cost. And forget about mileage. If you are looking for that, this machine is absolutely not recommended. If you want a thrill, this is the most affordable thriller machine out there, go grab one.
A proud owner of a nice bike.
