"I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" sang Britney Spears in an innocently erotic voice, trying to make the whole world believe she wasn't already dating Justin Timberlake fi...Well, in any case, this is a transitional phase, as the 390 Duke also describes with its essence. No longer a small Duke, but not yet a big one either, the 390 is right in the middle. You shouldn't underestimate it, but you shouldn't expect too much either. If you keep this in mind, you will have a lot of fun with it, even on a not too fast race track. (However, not too many thousands should be on the road then.) Feather-light handling like a moped, but already as strong as many a 600cc funk bike from the last 10 years.

Anti-hopping clutch

pleasant performance

compact geometry

low weight

a little tight for tall people

Take two, pay one. With the MT-09 Tracer, you get almost a whole MT-09 with all its sportiness plus a touring bike that is suitable for everyday use and to some extent suitable for travelling, with decent comfort for all situations. Just remember that there are many more comfortable bikes in this category - but hardly any sportier ones. Easier to ride, easier to control with 3 riding modes, ABS and traction control as standard. Only the wind protection could be better and the seat for long distances can only be found in the accessories.

Sporty performance like all MT-09

3 riding modes

ABS and traction control as standard

taut chassis, plenty of lean angle clearance

Wind protection not optimal

seat could be more comfortable

handlebars too wide for the city
