I’ve been 2nd owner of this KTM Duke 390 for over six years and put 9k miles on it. It never failed me and taught me a lot. This was my fourth motorcycle and now is replaced by sixth - the Honda CB750 Hornet.
My asking price is $2,900, but I’m realistic and flexible. This bike is ready to go, nothing needs work, just jump on it and enjoy. This is a perfect first bike or an extra bike for those after work but before dinner quick mountain “brrraaaps” 🏍️.

When looking for a new bike to replace my KTM (baby)Duke 390, I wanted bullet-proof reliability, great value and strong after market support. KTM could deliver only the last requirement, but Honda stepped up to the challenge. The CB750 Hornet finally came to North America in 2025 and was universally hailed as the “bike of the year”. Nothing comes close to it and all the hype IS true!!
