Excellent video no bs just the facts no drama thank you.

Absolutely love my Duke GP. Mine came with the quick shifter and tech pack already installed from the dealer. Got it with 1 mile so wasn’t a previous owner thing. Some say the quick shifter is finicky but i have had zero issues with it smooth as butter at all rpm’s just a bad ass machine

Subscribed to your channel. Awesome review man 👏 it's a lot of orange that being said I'm getting mine tomorrow lol.. can't wait to twist the throttle! #throttletherapy

Good review. Yes the 890 is quite the precise nimble beast, great bike! Although as far as the quick shifter, at least my 21, R model has never worked quite properly. That said I do love my very orange KTM.

Great video 👍 I’d love one but it’s got to be the R .

Great review bud,Bet its great fun to ride but a bit too "naughty" for me! ...My XSR is hooligan enough!

Another great review. One thing that always bothered me was the silencer which seems to have been squashed the wrong way making the foot peg bracket stick out in a particularly ugly way. I want to turn it 90 degrees. Oh, and I love the bike.

Great Video. I always forget to look at KTM but it appears that in the R version that’s it’s priced equal to the new Ducati Monster.

I like the looks! Went to look at 390 adv other day but apparently none due for ages. Passed mod 1, one more to go🤞

BTW i love the GP color scheme over the R....ive seen a few Rs with graphic kit and they looked pretty nice.....

I've got the 1290 version because with great horse power, comes great irresponsibility!

That's in Swindon. I ride my 890 duke R through these streets and these bikes are actual beauties. #superscalpel #ktm

I'll stick with my Speedmaster for my wheelies ;-)) Cheers Angus

Hey there, I seem to have missed this video. I still have my Gen1 Super Duke 990 from 2006, I wonder how these two compare next to each other. I guess I have to make a trip down to the local KTM Dealer to find out. Cheers! 😃👍🏻

I have a new r..there are no downsides..it's interesting but I used to get backache on my fazer, and you'd think on this little thing with it's rock hard seat it would be awefull after an hour or two. but not a bit of it, I could ride for days no problem..all it needs is a screen just to take the edge off the air pressure at high speeds, and that's on its way..the perfect bike in my opinion

Hey. Scott here. My deal on triumph is not going to happen. I saw you reviewed this bike and wanted to see how you liked it. I found a 22 with 2500 miles with yoshamara exhaust for 7999. Tons of upgrades.

yeah the quick shifter isn't as good as other bikes from what I've heard.....i have the 890 R and its missed quite a few times, i don't really use it much if just cruising around....the suspension haven't quite found a good setting yet, seems there maybe too much rebound dampening while helps in holding a line extremely well doesn't offer a ton of bump compliance....still working on it.......faster more aggressive i ride it the better it seems.....tried comfort setting and front was just way too soft for how strong the front brake is.... TRACK mode really throws power down and pretty much ride in it full time, and Brembo brakes are incredibly strong....almost a bit too much maybe for some, though i love strong brakes.....even the rear has a lot of bite....the weight, handling, and motor are fantastic....the low end torque into mid-range in track mode is just incredible....i live in lower rpms, short shift and use the torque......ill take others word for how good this bike is Cuz its my first street bike though m very familiar with KTM offroad and MX bikes......kind of the same ironically....good brakes, motor, handling but suspension is kind of ok but not great coming from off road world still though an awesome bike with strange front head light

Looks like KTM got some bloke down the Pub to design the exhaust. While he was pissed.

I have the 1290 evo power never tap into on the road . 890 maybe a better road possible even on some tracks . Yet to find out . Only reason I bought the 1290 It came with panniers and got cruises , as I do tours . The 890 high exhaust gets in the way .

KTM Best bike I Have ridden? The 1290 super Duke GT. Comfortable and Nuts! But I can't deal with Orange, ridiculous I know but there we are.

I like the features and the ride. My 18-21 yr old self would love it. But I think anyone over the age of 25 would just look silly pulling up on the Hot Wheels motorcycle.

Pretty knarly looking bike.

Build quality better than Triumph? Not a chance, from an ex-790 Duke owner!

yahoo- RedAn~ you created great edition- 🤞

But would you ride across America on it?🤔😎 The classic Ferrari is... Classic. These opportunities should never be missed.

I really like the look of ktm, but all the reliability problems and price keeps me away from them.

This Vs the new hornet is on my list. Which edges it for you?

I’d rather have the R model as it’s substantially better in the parts department.

👍😎😎😎👍

If you were spending this kind of money and have done your homework. You’d never buy this model. It would absolutely be the 890r with the more aggressive geometry, more power and stonking suspension and brake set up.

Hmmmm light, powerful, feels like a turbo charged 125? Hooligan bike 🤔 No no, back in your box Mr. Toad! You won't kill yourself on a Triumph T100! 😏

No its the 890 R

Colour scheme screams youthful of which I'm not. Not 4 me.

Those mirrors are just so hideous

It kinda looks a little cheap and plasticee.

Personally think it really looks horrible and reflects massive bad taste. The aestethics of a bike or a car do count at the end of the day in my view
