The 390 Duke did something rare when it arrived in the early 2010s: it made a small motorcycle feel like a big event. Light, loud, sharp-edged and priced within reach, it brought KTM's "Ready to Race" attitude to riders who had never been near an orange bike, and it became the default answer for anyone in India, Europe or the United States who wanted something more exciting than a commuter without the cost of a superbike.
Built by Bajaj near Pune, the Duke family stretched in both directions, down to the 125, 160 and 200 Dukes that carry the look to younger and newer riders, and up to the 390 Adventure, which added long-travel suspension, a taller seat and a willingness to leave the pavement. Later generations brought a bigger single-cylinder engine, a stiffer chassis, ride modes and a tougher Adventure R aimed at genuine trail work. Fans love the eager engine and the way the bikes beg to be ridden hard; critics point to heat, vibration and the firm seat on longer days.
The small KTMs now fight in one of the most crowded classes in motorcycling. The Dukes are cross-shopped against the Triumph Speed 400, the Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, BMW's small G 310 models and Bajaj's own Pulsar NS range, while the 390 Adventure squares off with the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the Hero Xpulse and a growing pack of mid-size adventure bikes. News coverage tracks the frequent updates, Indian price changes, comparison tests and the long-rumored bigger twins waiting in the wings.
The small KTMs that taught a generation to ride hard: the 390 Duke streetfighter, the trail-ready 390 Adventure and the Duke family's smaller siblings.
