Күн бұрынNew KTM 1290 Super Duke R Review - First Ride: Back in the summer, when the skies were blue and it seemed like COVID was nearly beaten, I was lucky enough to borrow the new-for-2020 KTM 1290 SuperDuke R for an extended period. Over the next few days I'll bring you all I learned, but for this video, here's my first impressions of the bike and a reminder what riding in the summer is like!

I’ve got 4000 miles on mine now and would say: don’t rev so high, you’ll ride out the torque. Also, it’s not so tame one you get out of Street mode and give it the beans, then it’ll roll your eyes back. But I’m loving mine, and the dealer has been nothing but helpful with no problems.

I own a V4S Streetfighter and got to borrow a 2020 Super Duke for a week so rode them back to back often. They are very similar bikes in many ways but I now wish I had bought the KTM. The Ducati is the “better” motorcycle when you ride them hard - it simply goes faster, turns better, stops better and arguably looks better. The V4’s “wings” make if vastly more stable at speed - if you long for the track you want the Duc. But as a daily driver the Super Duke just has the better engine - it gives you delicious power instantly and everywhere. The V4S, retuned though it is, remains a very “top of the rev range” sport bike engine. This translates to the Super Duke feeling like a super bike even when at in town speeds. The V4S on the other hand remains very “civilized” until you get it north of 9000 rpm, and by then you’re already punching above 100 mph. KTM also gives you practical features like cruise control and a gas gauge, making it easier to live with. I know KTM reliability is often questioned, but my V4S has spent 7 weeks in service during the first 6 months of ownership due to clutch problems. If I could go back I’d save myself 5 grand and have the better road bike. But then that’s me. Love your reviews and can’t wait to hear what you think comparing the two. Ride safe y’all.

Good review as always. I’ve ridden all the current “supernakeds” and owned a Tuono V4 Factory (2019), they are awesome and a giggle to ride, I only had mine for 8 months, despite what the reviewers say they are rich peoples toys, not really everyday practical, pretty uncomfortable, bugger to keep clean, brutal fuel consumption, no storage options, poor range, I really struggle to see the point of the current crop of bikes that hit jail speed in second and can only be used to their potential on track by a really talented rider. What are they for ? I don’t mind admitting that my Tuono was too much and I find my Street Triple RS better in every respect on road and track for a mere mortal

I purchased one last year and I really do think it is a stand out bike. It ticks so many box’s. You could tour on one and you can even get KTM proper panniers for it. It’s great for a Sunday blast and will keep up with everything and with the 140nm torque you will embarrass Super-bikes with the exceleration. Braking is off the planet as is the quick shift. I got the heated grips at £175 and when you compare to Kwak ZH2 at £375 for heated grips and heated gloves at £250 etc it’s not a bad deal. Only gripe is that the performance pack has to be purchased to pull wheelies but you can live with that and I will purchase in the summer which by then will give me ample tiMe on the bike, which I think is a good thing for me and most as it is a beast lol. I would recommend a purchase all day long. I love you channel and if you are ever down to Bury Hill or near Billingshurst West Sussex give me a shout for a ride out👍🏻 07747014156

When I got my new KTM Duke 890R last June with the optional exhaust, I decided I should investigate the name of this Romanian company. Turns out, best I can determine, it's pronounced "A KRAP o vich", which sadly has other connotations in English! 😂

Not been keen on the KTM look, but really like that. The blue and Orange is cool. Love the routing of the exhaust..just looks purposeful. There looks to be some baffles in the exhaust, which I dare say could be persuaded to come out should an owner want. Looking out the window on a dreary January day...lets hope we get weather like that this year and the freedom to ride the roads! Very interested to hear the longer term review!

The purpose of those exhaust bends and bulges are for the EPA, DOT, and AQMD (Air Quality Management District), not for fluid dynamics or power. Unfortunately, if you take them out, you still have a bunch of tuning to do.

Great informative review as always. I think the first thing anyone has to do with this bike is to chuck a can on it. If you have to pay extra for that Akra it's money wasted. It's a pity that KTM haven't got the exhaust note right on this bike when Aprilia have managed to tread that emission tightrope and get it right with the 2020 RSV4
