Surprisingly weak is the low-end torque. City riding requires you to keep the revs up to really get the best out of it.

It is time-consuming to clean all the nooks and crannies in the fairing. This is not a bike for lazy owners.

This can really take its toll on your wrists and back. To ride comfortably for long periods, you need to build up core strength.

It's surprisingly good! After a while you get used to the riding position, and it's not as tiring as you think. I did a 500 km trip and was fine afterwards.

It's not great for long rides, honestly. After a couple of hours, the aggressive posture kills your wrists and back.

It's doable, but not ideal. It’ll be uncomfortable, and you’ll need frequent breaks or some ergonomic mods to make it more comfortable.

Long rides, I find it better than the R15. It's a bit more laid back in the seating position, and it takes bumps in its stride.

It's not a tourer; it's a sport bike. Long rides don't offer much comfort if that's what you're looking for, and you're looking at the wrong category of bikes.

With a good windscreen and tank bag, it's actually pretty good for touring. Highway cruising is smooth enough.

I’ve done a few 300 km+ rides, and it’s doable. Make sure you stretch a lot and are hydrated.

Totally worth it. It's the quickshifter alone that changes the riding experience.

It's overkill for the street. If you don’t run the track often, save your money and get the standard 890.

The extra modes are nice; I just rarely use them. I would have rather spent the money on a nice exhaust.

For a newer rider, the advanced electronics instill enough confidence to push to the limits safely.

It really depends on your skill level, I think. The electronic nannies may not be required by experienced riders.

The R’s electronics make it feel like a much more premium bike. It’s not just about performance but the whole experience.

After the first month I turned most of the electronics off. Riding without them is more fun.

The electronics package doesn't mean as much to me as the upgraded suspension on the R.

If you can afford it, the R is the one that I would recommend. You will not use all the features right now, but you will enjoy them when you are good.
What mods do you absolutely need for the KTM Duke 390?

It is an absolute must to have a tail tidy. The stock rear fender is a big eyesore.
