Everything about the 390 Duke oozes aggression - from the familiar brawny styling to its radically potent engine. The ride on the 390 is stiff and very sport-oriented.
Low speed ride quality is a bit lumpy, but things ease out as you pick up the pace – which is apt for a sinewy little street bike of this stature. Like the 200 Duke, the 390’s saddle is stiff but offers good room for the rider to adjust his seating over long rides. However, long distance travel will prove quite uncomfortable for the pillion rider.
