The Adventure differs from the Duke by virtue of longer suspension, with 170mm of wheel travel from the adjustable WP forks and 177mm from the longer shock. There’s also a taller 19-inch front wheel to help it roll over off-road obstacles, with new tyre sizes of 100/90 x 19 and 130/80 x 17.
Seat height is 855mm and at 5ft 7in our tester can reach the ground with her toes. The LED instrument panel is clear and easy to read and a switch to the left gives the option of Tarmac or Dirt mode. There’s lean-sensitive ABS and traction control, too; not bad for £5499 (2020 launch price).
Life on the 390 is easy-going, with the rider sitting comfortably in a well-proportioned, typically adventure bike position. The seamless action of the quickshifter makes the ride even easier and strong acceleration from low down means overtaking slow-moving is a breeze - perfect for commuters. It also sounds good, too.
