My height is 5'4" will Duke 390 be comfortable for me or not?

Question

Baba · Accepted Answer

Woow i see soo many people saying no , dude first of all go to show room n check for urself , secondly their are many shorter riders riding a tall bike depends on wether or not u will ride it in traffic or on highway , their is a way to stand still on a tall bike , u need to put ur left leg on the gear and right leg on the ground , thats how most of the shorter riders ride a adv as many of them are even 850mm above seat height , but if ur committed to ride i think nothing can stop u . Good luckAnd a word of advice for those geniuses who are advicing for change of suspension , i just hope u dont skid or bounce of ur bikePlease do not change suspension settings untill n unless ur on race track or adv track

Kelly · Answer

If your a rider ull be fine... If its your first bike then prob not... im 5'7' and the duke was my first bike and it felt big and heavy when I first rode it, I was pretty scared I bought a bike that was maybe too big for me... a few months later the duke feels awesome. It is light and fits my height perfectly. I am ready for a larger bike. Perspective.

Ignatius · Answer

The KTM Duke is a rather high seated bike and reaching the floor would be a full stretch. Besides it is a heavy bike and handling it requires a certain degree of physical strength. Try it personally and find out for yourself.

Prasenjit · Answer

Please take a test ride of the DUKE 390 & only then make an informed decision.The seat height of the 2017 DUKE 390 is 825 mm. One just has to balance the motorcycle well. Hence, the test ride to figure that one out!

Spoiledbrahmin · Answer

Very good option, index is that you need to feel that comfort. Recommend is that you take bike from friend or on rent and check it for sometime and see if you can mend it down to your commute with comfort.

Ashwin · Answer

No, it might be a stretch. I'm 5'8" and I can't keep both my feet on the ground on the new 390 Duke. The older one I have, has a lower seat height of around 800mm which will suit you.

Pranav · Answer

If you can tiptoe on your D390 in a stand still position then you my friend are absolutely fine with riding 390 inspite of your height. If you cannot tiptoe then, you have some options as well1. High Heels riding boots2. Seat Adjustments (Height)3. Aftermarket Seats that suit your height. Etc.~ Pranav.

Soni · Answer

Yes it's comfortable for city traveling but if you like long travel than I prefer to you just take a test for royal Enfield Thunderbird its low in seat and also comfortable

Manu · Answer

I am 5'6', My toes are just hitting the ground. With shoe I am comfortable. Please go and have a test ride. height doen'st matter bro .. Go with your heart. :)

Anshul · Answer

No Faizaan.. i don’t think so that any Duke 390 will be suitable to you as you might face issues balancing while suddenly stopping the bike and even while taking sharp u-turns in a narrow space. Still its better to take a test ride and check.

Adam · Answer

While riding the bike you won't be in trouble but if u r in a dashing car traffic the guys who are 5'4" will find it difficult

Gaurav · Answer

The bike's seat height is set at 830mm which is quite tall. I'd suggest you take a test ride to get a feel for the bike first.

Oly · Answer

Why don't you go and sit one? Seems reasonable to me! You lazy cock. How the fuck do we know if you can reach the floor?

Gautam · Answer

City traffic might a problem. but if you have a kind of heavy body then no issues, also you can adjust rear suspension(softness) which helps in decreased saddle height of bike by few mm.

Coregamer · Answer

Yes it will be comfortable as duke being quite accomodative when it comes to different rider sizes.

Craig · Answer

Heavy? It's 150 kg. It's one of the lightest bikes on the market. You don't know what you are talking about.

Suzzane · Answer

No ... i own duke 390 BS6 and I believe that for comfortable and safe ride a person must be atleast 5’9.

Jose · Answer

Yes. As it is light weight a person of your height can handle it. just do a test drive before buying it.

Aryan · Answer

Charan · Answer

I am 5'4', and I ride my 390 very comfortably. It's all about your riding passion and love for bikes. I have been to many offroad and other challenging terrains with my duke 390, duke 200 and my old pulsar. Height does not matter. Just be sure to ride it safe especially if 390 is your first bike. I would not recommend any to buy 390 as their first bike considering its RAW Power. The power is very tempting to beginners and may lead to bad situation. First improve your riding skills and go slowly in the ladder. Start with 150cc bikes, then 200, 390 and so on.
