Haha thanks John 😁

@@markpulling12 And now I've bought one! The dealer had a brand new 2020 model with all the bells and whistles. A nice price and I was the happy owner!

Hi glen ...the tuono v4 is absolutely awesome my mate had one ...what an engine Yes all going well thanks Best wishes mark

Hi Martine...yes so much choice out there ...and yes aren't we lucky to have these great toys available x

@@markpulling12 definitely a great hobby 😁

Thanks Steve great choice there seems to be quite a few nice used ones about at the moment Cheers mark

Hi Leo as great as the hornet is ...the duke ,790 gives an amazing riding experience....that engine is awesome 👍 Best wishes mark

Yes the riding experience is great...I think the odd recall and gremlin can show up on some bikes when they are new ...but generally the are good bikes ..that engine is amazing... Best wishes mark

Reliability problems are very true .bought brand new 890 duke r .after 842 miles quicksilver problem .also gearbox like a tractor .sold it got brand new mt09 .much much better bike and finish . Cant beat jap quality .

Quickshifter even 😂😂

GS8XS is Made in Japan. You won't have any issues with these.

@@markpulling12 It certainly appears that KTM is on the same page as Ducati or Aprilia. Closer inspection of these always reveals very mediocre wiring loom and connector quality. The welds are not up to Japanese standard and neither is final quality control. Not the end of the world but what can one expect from manufacturers who produce a relatively small number of motorcycles compared to the giant Jap big 4 group.

Many thanks Darren...they are awesome machines 😁 Cheers mark

@@markpulling12 I've been over to KTM to look at one this morning 👍

Yes sadly ...there are a few gremlins lurking on ktms but once sorted they are generally good machines Best wishes mark

Does the 790 have any issues? Just asking as I’m looking at buying one in the next few days

Thanks Craig yes the postal service on the ECU to j33 is great... totally transforms the bike best wishes mark

Thanks for the comment and the info ...when I opened the ride mode menu I didn't see track option though? Best wishes mark

@@markpulling12 interesting, it should certainly be there ... sometimes when the bikes get serviced by KTM some functions can get accidentally switched off .. its not unheard of for owners to lose the quickshifter or track mode after a service and have to return to the dealership to get it switched on again. I'll bet thats what happened with the one you rode.

@@MotoGoato ok thanks for the info :)

Yes I got a KTM 890 Duke had to pay for extra's but all worth it amazing bike.

Many thanks anyway Best wishes mark

Hi Dave if you like adv bikes try the KTM 790 adventure:) Same engine and sound !! Best wishes mark

@@markpulling12 I fear that would be a bit tall for me. I only have a 30" inside leg too.

@@DDLovett i have 30" inside leg too and i can easily flatfood my 790 duke much confidence inspiring honestly

While torque measures the turning force produced by a vehicle's engine and the engine's ability to perform work, horsepower measures how fast the engine can perform the work. Therefore, high torque makes an engine accelerate faster from a stop, and high horsepower makes for higher top speed. Hope this helps explain a bit Best wishes mark

Yes agreed they do seem to only get like 75% reliability rating Best wishes mark

Hi Alan unfortunately there isn't one ....try holeshot Salisbury.... Best regards mark

@@markpulling12 Thanks Mark

Hi Patrick..very light...it's 189 kg fully fuelled...one of the best handling bikes I've tried ...just a nice weight to it best regards mark

Yes Peter it's just been re released by KTM to rival the hornet and gsx8 Best regards mark

Hi ...no sadly I decided to sell it just before winter hit last December...I needed the money back out of it for other pursuits:) best wishes mark

I like triples but found the engine on my Tracer 900 (2015) too angry to the point of it being a bit irritating, if that makes sense. Never had this feeling with my Street Triple R or Tiger 800 XRT. Much prefer the chilled rumble of my more recently acquired BMW F900 XR. Maybe I'm getting old.

@@applecorp totally get that ...I found on the tracer 9 as brilliant as it was there was some kind of resonance sound at 5k airbox or something like that that was annoying cheers mark

The 690 and 790 are completely separate different bikes the ,790 is a twin 690 is a single Cheers mark

You can adjust the reach of the levers for small to big hands ...just so it fits you better. Cheers mark

Yes Ive found in riding ktms that they have a bit more X factor than other bikes that make them great to ride cheers mark

Hi Ibrahim...I'll see if I can get hold of one best wishes mark

@@markpulling12 yes I’d like to see that one dude as it’s cheaper than a t max

Thanks Alex ....yes the engines on these are so good 👍 Best wishes mark
