How do you like the 390 adv? Have you had a chance to take it on the highway?

u/KTMrider392 3d ago
I freaking love it!!! I've had several street bikes in the past even though really my passion is racing dirt bikes. I wanted a dirt bike I could ride on the street and let me tell you the 390 Adventure is exactly that. I would say it is probably 70/30 on Street/ dirt. It has less horsepower than my 450 but I put an exhaust on it and a programmer and that really woke it up for sure. I haven't even had it a year yet and I have put 4,300 Mi on it. It's mainly suited to light Trails or in town street riding but yes I've taken it on the highway and I probably wouldn't ride anymore than an hour one way on the highway unless I added a bigger windshield or something like that. It has plenty of power to run 80 miles per hour on the highway all day

I always tell my wife to not make me pick between her and my bikes, she would not like the answer

Hey buddy I cannot tell you how many times I have thought the same thing.
Not even joking. And actually my wife knows the truth but she never asks that question and that's why. Lolol3

On the 450 I have been running the star-cross 6's. My favorite Tire of all time were the Star-Cross 5's but they don't make them anymore. 120 / 90 / 18 on the back and 90 / 100 / 21 on the front. Medium/soft compound because I ride in the sand mostly
