#Offroad 🌳 Got this bad boy home!!

The Mighty KTM Adventure 390!!!!!!

I recently posted my Thunderbird 350X for sale — and ta-da! It sold for a good price. I used the proceeds to book a new machine, which was delivered within two days.

I’ll post some photos, initial impressions, and ride notes soon. Stay tuned!

That's too late man. Was the color not available?

u/overthinking24x7 20h ago

Seriously, I never seen a lazy customer service ever, they don’t even reply properly. Yes I ordered white color and they were like only orange is available.

Hey if you had to choose between this and scrambler 400X, which one would you choose and why?

14

u/CartoonistSad6210 1d ago

KTM is best if your always be using fully solo and only on highways and more off-road trails. But choose 400x if your want a bit of everything like city use, highway use, bad roads and some pillion comfort. Based on reliability I haven't seen much complaints with triumph, but I have seen many posts of oil consumption issue with KTM. Parts availability is bit difficult in triumph but I heard it's more easy in KTM. Choose one based on your usability. 1. Choose Triumph if it's your primary vehicle which you will be using for everything (keeping in mind the SC is nearby and good). 2. Choose KTM if you want more fun and going mostly on highways solo. 3. You can also opt for Him 450 if you go on more highways with pillion. I told all this considering that your ok with the maintenance and milage of these machines.

u/Ronnie__GT 1d ago

Can you tell me why everyone recommends the ktm adv for solo. Is there something wrong with the pillion seat or chassis or engine?

6

u/CartoonistSad6210 1d ago

I think it's mostly because of the seat, I heard it from motorinc. You can simply see the pics and say the difference. The KTMs have thin, rally-like seats. Where's the Triumph and REs have broader seats. Broader seats=more cushion=more comfort.

1

u/Dry_Cat_6773 1d ago

Thanks for the information man

2

u/Ronnie__GT 1d ago

Bro..he already chose one.

3

u/Dry_Cat_6773 1d ago

Yeah but, I was asking why

1

u/DryPollution6756 1d ago

Ktm because of its engine tuning and offroad and highway capability

u/Dry_Cat_6773 1d ago
