not sure if anyone has said this, i just wanna commend you on the constant video uploads, 2100 videos is insane,

When you finally bought a KTM, I thought your plan was to dump on the brand. Glad you kept an open mind and are starting to see how good they are. Welcome to team orange

My first bike was a 390 Duke and I'm hooked. Now I have a CF Moto with a KTM 790 engine. I'm a certified fanboy

I had a Honda and a few Yamahas before which were great, but since I got my first KTM in 2016 I have been loyal to the brand.

Man you are so right. I have a 2020 KTM 690 Enduro R and out of the 6 different bikes I have owned this is head and shoulders above them.

Supermotos are so much fun! I converted my old ktm 525exc and it's awesome!

I just a Triumph 400. First bike after 12 years not riding. Love it and being back in the wind.

Just passed 20k miles on my 21 smcr she runs like a dream!

I owned a 2001 ktm250sx as a kid and it was absolutely bulletproof. Before I got my 2021 690 enduro I heard about the reliability issues but those are with the 790's 890's and bigger bikes. The 690 is a tried and trued motor and it's been a very very good bike for the first 5k miles. No issues. Although I will say I don't think I'm guna mod it other than the muffler and 02 dongle because all the high mileage bikes have a stock airbox. Also I do believe the 690's are still built in Austria

My KTM dealer offered to do the full exhaust, airbox and remap on my 2023 RC390, put in on my financing ,through KTM and 2 year warranty NOT effected!

Happy for ya Cruza finding a good deal on your KTM. I have a 16 Super Duke R 1290 . Wecome to the Fam. Hope yours keeps running like mine has. Which has all the goodies Rottweiler etc. Runs like a Beast ha . Might have to Demo a Super Moto. Thanks for the great videos.

That OEM tool kit is dope for sure.

Got my new ktm 990 duke yesterday. Loving it.

Bikes have one thing in common with ag tractors that farmers buy. No matter how popular or unpopular a brand is, it boils down to the service after you get item first from the dealer then the factory. The dealer can often make or break a brand.

Hey cyclecruza, loving the videos on the ktm. coming from europe ktm is big here. you should try the new dunlop mutant tires. just put them on my drz and they are so confidence inspiring its insane. they are good off road too suprisingly even though they dont look it. think they would suit the 690 better then the shinkos. keep it up, keep it real.

Have a Ktm myself and I agree on your points

Have had my 2019 390 Duke since new and have had to do just routine maintenance.

Congratulations Welcome to the KTM Fam

I raced KTM in the 70's. Was in the business for years, from retail to Factory . Ridden hundreds of bikes, owned dozens...just bought an RC390, the most fun you can have under 100mph. KTM is for racers! Austrian Engineering! SUBSCRIBED

I've got the 1290 SDR. I love the thing. Easy to work on and great fun. I did consider trading it in for the 690 though.

They are amazing machines. That little 2023 RC I had was so packed with tech for what it was. They put so much thought into their process. Your bike looks incredible. It's got some of the most fluid body lines out there.

I wish you luck, I love that bike. Tell us about the comfort more. How's the seat after an hour.

I pick up my KTM 125 2024 Duke tomorrow...really want the 690 but next year now 🧡

What cell phone mount are you using with the 690?

I got a 20 duke 790 I bought in 21 new and only1200miles on it right now. Don't ride it much anymore but still Love it. Traded in a cbr600rr in on it and it's so much more fun on the streets. Nice low end torque. Awesome bike. Only problem is trying to get parts needed a new key and took a month since they had to email them in Austria

In 1983 I bought a Yamaha tt600 which is a dirt bike, but always like the streets. So at that point in time the only street tire that was a 21-in was designed for the Harley Sportster that had the 21-in front wheel, so I put Street dreads on my tt600, so basically I made a super moto bike before there was even such a thing as supermoto, and I loved it. Loved it! Got a KTM 690r at the present, then I'm kicking around doing the same thing too. But I got two other street bikes so I don't know what I'm going to do at this point.

Sick bike!

supermoto nation, sounds like a movement brother 👌

Interesting. I'm really curious about how they perform in long-term rides and their reliability. Gas mileage? Comfort. So much! Keep us updated please.

mine missing the tool set 😢 a little glitchy but ridiculous fun !!

Where ya at in Pennsylvania, Anywhere near Philadelphia? I've got the 698 rve wit some mods. Ya welcome to ride it to do a lil comparison, pros/cons or whatever. Anyways love the content, ride safe brotherrrr.

I have a 23 300 Exc and a 2009 RC8 track bike. Both are weapons. But they do have a few quirks. Once there sort are extremely fun bikes 💯

I have the Husqvarna 701 which is basically the same bike, and I’ve had a pretty positive experience with it, and the customer service. So far I’ve only put 1200 miles but it has been good to me, like you said, these bikes just rip!!!

I have an 02 520 exc, and an 06 450 exc dual sport. Both have been very reliable, and easy to work on. Maybe you are buying bikes that are too finicky, and complicated. The latest and greatest isn't always what it's cracked up to be.

They've been kick ass for 40 years or more. High quality and innovative. I love my freeride 250 2 stroke. The seat hides the tank and air filter.

I like the stock look and the custom look. It is a good looking bike. There are some beautiful super motos out there. They just all look like a motorcycle should.

My 22’ smcr was my first bike and I’ve love every bit of it, only thing I don’t like is no gas gauge ..

Cycle Cruza, you can move the seat release loop into your fuel cap so its allways hidden ;)

2017 superduke 1290, no issues what so ever, great machine!!

Dope ass bike, hoping to get one soon

The wiring behind the headlight mask on my 500EXCF is kind of a rats nest. The seat can also be a pain to get on and off. My KTM and BMW both use a lot of torx fasteners. I’m ok with that. It IS important to use quality tools on them and if your bits are showing any wear replace them or they will strip. I bought mine at KTMWorld. They have an excellent parts website. Check em out.

I worked at a dealer that sold KTMs for years. They’re super underrated.

Ive got an old 97 ktm 620 rxc-e that was my first bike. I want a 890 duke,but i love my fz07.

which tires are you running? Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV or Michelin Road 6 or Bridgestone Battlax BT-46 or something else?

Cruza. Sell me your YZ. You don't need it anymore. Peace.

I just bought a ktm 790 duke great bike

I love mine! Had to have the ECU flashed since the power commanders don't work on the EU model anymore. If you want a little extra pep there's also a high lift performance camshaft for it to get it to 85+ HP.

I want to see the adventure tyres.

I've owned all four of the Big 4 Japanese bikes and KTM's since the early '90's. KTM's and Yamaha's have been deadly reliable for me. Kawi, Suzi and Honda ...I'll never own another.

Take it to the track!

check your gas cap and make sure it is venting. Could be the reason it shut off while riding.

You get tools, that's sweet but that thing of waiting for parts that's universal. I keep buying new bikes because I think that the dealership won't have a problem with getting parts but I am always heartbroken.

Honestly if the parts are usually in low supply and you have to wait months to get a replacement part, that would definitely keep me from getting a KTM. Even though I loved test riding a Super Duke the other day. Also my favourite mod on this bike is the color scheme change, looks so much better black and orange than all the orange it had before.

Peeps don’t get how fun these bikes are. Also made from super high quality components

As soon as they removed kickstart and went full electric only I've lost interest in that brand. I've had d lc4 from late 90s and those were bullet proof(at least for me), but it was not good "woods bike", so I bought RM 250, big bore swap, tailor it for my needs and the bike is still pulling strong (with at least 500 hours of abuse on it, with few top ends replaced) despite it's age (2007).

Are they discontinuing those for 2025? On their website they have a bunch of '25 models listed but the only supermotos are '24's.

My 2016 690 is currently at the dealer: clutch fluid issues. It seems that it requires mineral oil instead of dot4. Almost a week now…

I feel you. I wish Honda or Yamaha would make a proper Supermoto. They need to step it up.

yo not only are they torx bolts, they also are hexagonal and can fit a socket! i think they range from 6-10 but you can use a torx bit or a socket on any of them incase you accidentally strip the bolt in one way, youve got another way to still work with it

Those responsible for not zip tiring your hose have been sacked! Those responsible for not installing your grommet have been sacked! Those responsible for getting them the zip tie and the grommet have been sacked! The zip tie and grommet manufacturers have been sacked! Those who did all this sacking have been sacked! Finally, the guy in the cafeteria at the KTM factory who puts the cheese on the nachos has been sacked, though that was an unrelated matter.

Bro looks like a construction working riding down the road💀💀💀

I have a 2000 KTM Duke 2 along with several other supermotos. You be surprised how well 17” street tires will do off road! Go ride it with slicks!

Considering i bought my 390 adventure a week after you bought your ktm, i might need to know “what they don’t tell you” 😂

11745 new oil for the turtle today! 🐢🔥🐢🔥 Mt03

Damn trashed it because what other people said??? Glad you actually got one….my FE501 Supermoto is probably my favorite bike

My 2022 890 Duke R, handles like nothing else

Yah cc. Always wanted yamaha to put the raptor 700 motor in a supermoto.

Broooo!!! I just posted a short about my Honda CRF150L that I converted to supermoto in the Philippines.. AND.. put some Shinko E705-II's on it.. $3,700 bucks bro.. custom wheels and everything. Check it bro..

One thing I don't like about motorcycles is most are way to overpriced like I was looking for the price of the ducati streetfighter v4 lamborghini and I realized that when I was looking at john deere lawn tractors that they both are around the same weight but just two different things and I could get 6 or 7 of those high end john deere tractors to the price of one of those ducati streetfighters

My frist Ktm 22 390 adv , over 7000 worry free miles.

Everytime i get a tightass torx bolt, it doesn't strip the bolt it strips my shitty torx wrench. Good luck with tightass small screws! 😅

Let’s go 4 uh ride 😠😤

Dam right

Ktm has great engineering. Some stuff in the way it goes together seems un necessary to me. But they do have a quality feel. I like the stock look. Has a late 80s vibe

Move from shinko to michelin road 6 and thank me later. Best tire for sumo on roads with debre and rain etc.

One of the European countries will fail you on your license test if you put both feet down. England maybe, don’t remember. It’s one foot only.

At least they aren't as bad as an Aprillia RSV4... I like reliability and wish these two brands could be better

Nice after 14k

But the dealership and service Staff have to be the worst I've ever dealt with. Like they know you love the bikes so they don't care how they treat the customers

yeah SuperMoto nation!👍

Bmw uses torque bolts

The problem with these is I don’t think it can be your only bike. Now the 890 SCT…

Nobody tells ya about KTM's in da cemetery. Cyclecruza....please explain the thought process on this skit.

How is service good but you couldn't get a call back Immediately after sale for a missing Grommet?

1st

What nobody tells you: if the user manual says you have to use Loctite, USE LOCTITE or you gonna lose some expensive screws.

Nothing wrong with a bike that puts a big ol sh#t eaten grin on your face 👍🏽

Come on Japan let's step up the SM game

KTM has that Euro problem where they're putting too much tech into the bikes. Too many electronics, ditching the back up kickstarters, ride by wire. I want it affordable and basic and mechanical and they're always going the other direction driving the price up and making them harder to work on. 2004-2008 was the best KTM era.

Husqvarna also makes a 701

You have to remember all the other motorcycles you had were multi cylinder which means more wiring

Most KTM fans I know are like Ducati fans, if it's their only bike they think nothing else is better. 🙄😁

KTM= Keep. Taking. Money.

It’s because Japanese bikes are proper supermoto. The KTM 690smr/701/700 aren’t legit supermotos. They’re more like hypermotards. That’s why the wiring and seats concept are organized. Just my opinion

I have a ktm 300xc dirtbike-for woods there is no better bike.
