He will be, thanks.

I second that. A lot of reviews are really dry and tend to be just a tad on the boring side. On the other side we have Chris, who is having a blast out there, and it comes across very strongly in his videos. He also does a good job of getting right to the heart of the matter by explaining what a particular bike is designed to do, and who should consider buying it (and who shouldn't). It seems like a lot of journalists do little more than read the spec sheet and give a general first impression, but a good review should never sound like the reviewer is just repeating the manufacturer's marketing notes. Journalists should respect the audience enough to give us raw, unfiltered opinions.

@@donaldmaddox4531 I third that! He is a hell of a rider too! I enjoy watching the reviews with him, as he is absolutely ripping on the bikes, when at the same giving you all the information you actually interested in, how it rides, how it feels, what kind of rider should consider the bike..., without being BLA about the spec sheet. Most of us know how to read, and have already read the spec sheet, when interested! So, more of him please!

Agree 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Still ugly but dam ths bike is freaking awesome performance. I want one too

@@davisasantos6739 hows it ugly? I dont think its beautiful but its certainly not ugly. Very aesthetically pleasing to look at

@@davisasantos6739 ugly??? U don't have a good taste mate

Fz09.

Michael Kastner Thanks Michael, not sure about the triple pay though.

He needs triple!

That's an exclusive club! Thanks.

Same list. Cheers!

And 44 Teeth of course!

You forgot Zack Courts

You forget Zack Courtz

Hahaha

You're right 😂😂😂

Believe it or not, i got almost that same response once. He said "is that a 1290?" And I said "Yup". Turns out he had a S1000RR. Let me off with a warning.

then he gives you a ticket because u set the wheel down when you see him

they need to be. because you cant ride it without doing a wheelie xD

Did he really say that?

@@homersimpson2963 yes, that was the "official" reason they discontinued the RC8.

@@filipbunalti broo its because race bike are specifically made for track but 98% of them are being used on road. there is the difference first street bike bike then track bike is what ktm offer thats the meaning of safe here

Fairing makes even a 125cc bike racy. So... Just joking lol

Agreed, I tend to get hung up on specs while choosing a bikes but there's simply no reason to, none of us are racers anyway. Love my superduke! :D

Selling my 2016 H2 getting this bad boy. That's after owning only Kawasaki's since 1975.

Fancy seeing you here!

Cheers!

Thanks!

Thanks

Thanks!

The amazing part is with that weight.

Weren't you a little scared when you got on the 1290 or did you put it in Rain mode

Yes The engineers have refined the Beast and the QUALITY is impeccable and now it wants to be your friend.....but never turn your back on this Beauty as she is all that and a bag of chips. I Love It !! This Bike has been turned into a Magnificent motorcycle with First Class manners. I have been Riding and Racing for over 50 years and this Motorcycles Style is why I ever fell in LOVE with motorcycles, to begin with. Fun, exciting, Eazzy, Fast, torque, Class, Style, Quality, and Addictive as Crack! You can't seem to get enough More, More , More....It is worth the extra for the excitement and FUN that you get is unmatched. THE 2020 KTM 1290 R is everything you could ever want in a MOTORCYCLE and more !!!

I would take the 2018 and save the cash, maybe some upgrades. The 2020 is surely better, but it's not like the previous gen was terrible. You should ride at least the older one before deciding.

Yes! Less vibration, planted around bends, 2019 dyno 153 rwhp 2020 dyno 172 rwhp. So much on the 3 hp increase lol. Very,very comfortable. If they could make small bikini fairing it would perfect alround bike. My first street bike 1975 Kawasaki H1 500 that's how long ive been on the road.

@@robertforesman8414 i weight 260 pounds my 2020 1290R in 3rd gear lift up ground. Sure it wants be your friend,in rain mode.lol Best bike ever purchased for city and country riding and touring i have my ZX-14 turbocharge.

@@geraldperry7779 nah, she even wants to kill you in rain mode lol.
