I'm a 25 year experienced off-road rider/racer, now retired. Decided to try Adventure riding with friends. Bought this bike on a suggestion and found I couldn't be happier. This isn't a "beginner" or "woman's" bike as some suggest. Yes, it needs improvement from its stock form, tires, gearing, and ECU, and one can go on from there. But we all put our personalities into our rides and this is no different. I ride alongside T7's, KDX's, and others. Yes, 650's and up can out-power me but none of them out perform this 390 once it's set up. Mine is and if yours isn't, spend the time to do it. You'll find it a keeper. And yes, KTM has filed for bankruptcy but they're not going anywhere. Their reorganization will see to that. You probably won't be able to buy a new bike for a while but parts and supplies, and dealerships will be there for us current KTM owners. The bankruptcy concern is overplayed. If you have a KTM, keep it and ride it.

I have owned many performance motorcycles in the 40 years I’ve been riding motorcycles and the KTM Super Adventure is near the top of the list. Don’t let its dirt bike exterior fool you, this is an all out performance machine. The electronics are awesome to keep you from getting out of line and can make an average rider better. Handling is superb and more like a giant super moto bike than adventure. If I was a little younger comfort would be more stars but 5 star comfort would be a goldwing. Maintenance is not too bad for the DIY’er and pretty simple and quality is exceptional. KTM is a under rated brand that gets overlooked, take one for a spin if you get a chance and see what they have to offer.

This is by far the best bike in terms of corner handling. You can ease into corners at any speed and feel comfortable with the brembo brakes. The torque is top notch as well as the top speed. This has been my favorite motorcycle I’ve ever...

Cons, like most the seat is not comfy for long blacktop rides.
Buffering from wind screen is not desirable when doing hwy.

I would say this bike as has been talked about being 75% off and 25% on. So it is nice to ride it to get off road.

This bike is a blast to ride. The engine is nothing but amazing. Also the dynamic electronic suspension makes this bike handle almost like a sport bike.
The comfort could be improved. Maybe with the original saddle is a little more comfortable but I have the one piece saddle that makes it easier to ride off road.
Still the heated seats and grips are welcome features on the nippy early morning rides.
In any case this is a superb bike that is comfortable on dirt trails as well as on tarmac highways.
Have I mentioned that the engine and power are absolutely spectacular?
The sophistication and electronics of this bike are second to none:
- ABS linked to the leaning angle,
- Cornering lights that increase the angle synchronized to the leaning
- 4 riding modes: Sport, Street, Rain and Off road.
- 4 suspension dampening modes: Sport, Street, Comfort and Off road
Have I mentioned that the engine will blow you away?

This bike is absolutely awesome. It is great off and, on the road, is a very capable sport tourer. The power and pick up of this bike (specially in Sport Mode) will have you screaming. The stability and handling on twisted roads is nothing less of amazing thanks to the semiactive suspension system.
The sophistication and electronics are second to none. ABS depending on lean angle, several level of traction control. Cornering lights depending on lean angle. 4 drive modes, automatic suspension preload: rider, rider and luggage, rider and passenger, rider passenger and luggage.
Fantastic bike.
My only problem and, that's me more than the bike, is the chain drive. I've been a BMW user for the last 40 years so lubing and cleaning the chain is foreign to me.
