Can riders over 6 feet tall fit comfortably on the KTM 390 Adventure SW?

Taller riders will definitely find it more comfortable than the Duke 390, but if you’re over 6’2”, you might consider larger ADV bikes for the best comfort.

Absolutely worth it! If you like to go back and forth between on-road and off-road riding, the adjustable suspension makes a huge difference. It’s like having two bikes in one.

The standard model is more than enough for most riders, honestly. The SW is cool, but unless you really have a fascination with fine-tuning your ride, you may not even use the adjustable suspension that much.

I upgraded from the standard to the SW, and I can't believe I ever rode without adjustable suspension. This is a game changer for long ride comfort.

Depending on how you ride, it depends. If you are just commuting and riding on the weekend on good roads, save your money. If you’re into adventure touring or just like to tackle varied terrains, the SW is the way to go.

If you’re planning to keep the bike for a while, the extra cost is worth it. This leaves you some wiggle room as a rider and allows for the bike to grow with you as your skills and tastes change.

I don’t think it’s worth what you pay for it. That extra money, you could then put towards aftermarket upgrades that would make a bigger difference to your riding experience.

The SW feels like a more premium bike overall, and as someone who's ridden both, I think it's a good bike. Just the cherry on top is the adjustable suspension.

For long-distance touring, I’d pick the Himalayan any day. It is more relaxed, offers better wind protection, and, over long hours in the saddle, is less fatiguing.

The 390 Adventure SW is great, but for true touring, the Himalayan’s more upright position and softer suspension win for me.

That really depends on what kind of touring you do. But if you’re mostly on paved roads and like to ride fast, the KTM is better. If you’re more into mixed terrain and a more laid-back pace, then go with the Himalayan.

I owned both, and I would say that the Himalayan is a better touring option in India. It's easier to fix in remote areas and also does better on rough roads.
Should you mod a KTM 125 Adventure or save your money for a bigger bike?

Modding is half the fun! Start with some protection bits and maybe a slip-on. It’s a good way to figure out your bike.

If you ask me, that’s wasting money. The 125 will soon be outgrown by you. Your cash is better spent on a 390 or bigger.
