people don't like the blue?!!!!!!! Wow, that color combo is so unique and kick ass. I just love the look of the new Super Duke.

Great review, Rennie. Love the enthusiasm. The depth your experience with prior models makes you the most qualified and helpful reviewer I've watched. Thank you! (Now I want one.)

Deposit is in and hoping to pick up my orange/blue 2020 within 2 weeks, as soon as the dealer gets them in. Looking forward to doing a back to back comparison with my 2015 SDR to see what's been improved. It's like Christmas in February! BRAAAAP!

To me it's not about is this being better than a Tuono. I have owned both--btw., I don't care about lap times. But I want it to give confidence. The "17 is wallowy. Either SD is a better street bike from ergonomics and relaxed, torque-rich motor. But now the chassis is more confident and sporty. I bet the Tuono will still beat it on track. But the SDR rider is now having fun on track too with the confidence. SDR better all-round road performance bike. And improved on track. More confident and still great on street. Good job KTM. But I am going to wait for the 890R.......

you know your'e on the pace when your'e catching up to riders in front and nobody seems to be passing you.Good riding and solid review ...

Swingarm longer,overall thanks for saying about it comfort on long journeys. We all know how great it is on the track. KTM should of through in both electronic packages as standard, so much competition in this class. Excellent review best that I've seen on KZfaq.

I'm a hardened sportbike guy, but really thinking of one of these, seems like the quick shifter should be standard equipment. thanks for your review

Great Test Rennie 😄✌️awesome Bike i would like to Race again Pikes Peak with this weapon 😄

Wish I could get one. Maybe a second hand one in a couple of years. If Rennie says it's good you know it is, Pike Peak legend 👍🇦🇺

Really enjoyed the video and enthusiasm!

Great review, looking for new street bike with the new electronics hardware. This reminds me of my ZX-14 lots of torque.

Nice to see a decent length video! Not everyone has the attention span of a gold fish. Great to hear from the project manager as well (although if you're looking for things to improve, the audio quality is the first thing I'd look at). I was hoping these wouldn't be that much better to be honest, because I was looking to pick up one of the deals on the outgoing model. Now I'm reluctant to test ride the new bike in case I like it too much. I always thought the slightly vague, chook chaser feel was the price you paid for upright comfort. Are you telling me you can have both comfort and precision?

I really like the blue, great bike, great review.

Only one word KTM..time to feed the beast..........thanks

Thanks for a really great review. Just wondering how you feel this new chassis and suspension stacks up against the Tuono Factory ? While it seems like KTM has a made a big step it still doesn't appear to illicit superlatives like the Aprilia. Fair assumption ?

Excellent review mate! The 890 DUKE R could be a much better & easy to live with motorcycle for daily use. The 790 DUKE has already gobsmacked the middle weight naked "Street Fighter" category. I'm waiting for the MY2020 #KTM #790 #ADVENTURE India Launch.

This is a great review Ronnie, thanks (sorry I know I'm late to the party) - Obviously it helps when you present on something you really know about, but I like the fact you pointed out the details like the new adj rearsets that none of the other big reviewers I've seen mentioned. This is a big deal as the first gen 1290 stubby pegs mounted too low were a joke, as was the dash/TC interface that KTM seems to have stolen from Aprilia, but hey at least they were listening! This is the only bike I could see luring me away from my Tuono, which I really do love. However, the KTM tactics with selling an already expensive bike here in Oz, then charging you big $$ to unlock the TC/abs settings, quickshifters, etc etc really is a joke. That and the ugly headers with even uglier welding on the belly cat basically necessitates a full system (also these historically were way too muted stock) - bang - just like that you've sailed way past $30k here, or about double what I paid for my new old stock Tuono... so... yeah... unlikely I'll ever own one (not new anyway)...

More sporty ergonomic on the 2020 🔥🤙

tough gig man, but someone's gotta do it

A quality review let down by poor sound

KTM has been improving and refining the RC51 for twenty years.

Super review, Im thinking about buying one or the Ducati Streetfighter?

Great vid. I have just put a deposit down on one. :)

Great review, loved my old 2016 SD. Is there an option for an autoblipper? Or is it just the quick shifter?

Oh man before I even watch, this is the dude I would trust the most on this (pikes peak). I’m sure the bike rips but I picked up a low mileage stock 2016 yesterday. I’m guessing I should start saving for the 2020 😭

I love the MotoGP blue and orange is awesome I hate the 890r white. I’ll be getting the orange and blue

In 2017 you couldn’t get 1/2 the parts in the Power-Parts catalog!! Everything was out of stock

Getting one holy shit

The guy you interviewed from KTM was he responsible for the RC8R? I have a RC8R and I just bought a brand new SuperDuke GT, Love KTM

I wish it had power above 8-9000-RPM, if they could invent an engine that had best of both worlds

As good as this bike is charging people for a quickshifter on a such expensive bike is a pure greed from ktm . Bikes costing half have then fitted as standard on top of that all the hardware is already on that bike . Sorry KTM it's just wrong

Great review as usual Rennie! But what we really want to know is the behind the scenes stuff! Did you stick it to 44 teeth boys (statham) and Neevesy from MCN? You're all there fanging it at the same time so surely you cross swords occasionally, no?? 😎

Rennie would you say this is your favorite naked bike so far?

Why do some guys stick their knee out when they don't really need too?.....is that cuz they coming from a different type of racing or?......I see it alot.....I never see moto gp guys or IOMTT guys do it....I dont ride that way....what is that?

Come on ktm bring back the rc8 or make a rc790

I want one, but they will not get my money whilst that orange is on the bike.

Great review, it's 2020 and still a shitty recording sound. Check out "Schaaf" he uses a Zoom H2.

Why did they rebuild the complete bike? Last years bike is crap compared to this one. Sorry if you have last years model and paid the same money. And how much extra does it cost to unlock all the “features”? KTM company is a joke

After 10 years of innovation, 100cc’s more than my RC8R and readopting a version of its frame we see only 2 hp more and a few more lb ft of torque, yay....
