I like that RJ and the Baron both are showing off their Super Dukes. I like seeing the different things they are doing to the bikes, and the overload of SuperDuke! I can never have enough Superduke in my life.
Have a look on flea bay for some grips called Grip Puppies. They go over the existing grips including heated grips if fitted and work very well for people with big hands. They make the grips much thicker and more comfortable. I've been using them for a few years now. Around £13 squid a pair.
Nice, I used to love taking off over that little hump-back bridge every day going from my home village of Mortimer to work in Church Crookham every day. Happy dayz. :-)
+Stephen Stallebrass Yeah, I'm curious about that too. Unless he means the time he got his bike seized and then there was no further action due to a technicality. But that was some time ago...
I know your pain with big hands and small grips. Even XXL gloves are sometimes too short in the fingers for me, and my fingertips actually come around and touch the heel of my hands, so if I try to grip harder (I race motocross, so sometimes this is necessary), nothing actually happens as far as desired results. My fingertips just get pushed into my hand-heels harder. Guaranteed arm pump.
Amazing! Beautiful!.... Personally I wouldn't put the Ktm Superduke stickers on the tank preferring a total carbon / black look with a few orange details, but it's my taste. Love the "Jizz machine" sticker 😊
B, have you done anything to the cat box? your bike sounds awesome. when I tested different slip ons onto the cat it sounded identical to standard, so I went went the AR GP3. And that is insanely loud...
I know the areas he drives through and every time im about and hear a motorbike I look to see if its him and it never is lol. hopefully one day though.
Is your visor on your helmet dark or mirrored, as mirrored and more than 50% dark is illegal in the UK but I wondered if you've ever been pulled over for it, as I want to get a dark/mirrored visor but don't want to get pulled over for it
+XoLEGENDZoX I've used both a silver mirrored and dark visor and I can honestly say, the police don't give a shit. I've filtered past them wearing one, they've overtaken me and even looked straight at me whilst giving way. That said I always carry a clear, no matter what the weather or time of day. That's just a personal preference I suppose. The only way I could see the police noting it if when you've been pulled for acting the fool, so check those mirrors beforehand ;)
+XoLEGENDZoX It's not illegal during the day, passed many coppers at twilight with a dark visor and not only can I see fine on the streets but I've never been pulled. Dark country lanes and motorways without lighting are a different matter, very hard to see which is why I always carry my clear visor with me (well, nearly always.)
Love the stickers on the tank revealing a smaller nicely shaped section of carbon, that'd what makes a nice bike or car, detailing and colour schemes, Very very nice Barron, so go on then what's the mods costs, hehe
Great bike! I noticed you were wearing an AGV Corsa in another video, how do you like that helmet? I've been thinking about getting one. Great videos also, always enjoy them!
Like the styling of your Superduke! Awesome! :) Can you tell me what Mic do you use in your helmet, and maybe how you placed it inside your helmet? :) Greetings from Austria
Baron why don't you get some Carbon fibre look a like mirrors from eBay? Only like £12 for a pair :D I have some and are better than stock mirrors because there is no shoulder seen in them :)
Dam I do love the sight of carbon fibre omg it looks so nice. Think I need to go shopping for some parts now and I'm going to blame you for me spending all my moneyz hahaha
Anyone got any tips on how to filter on standstill motorway or A-Road traffic, was stand still the other day and i found it very uncomfortable riding on the cateyes down the centre of 2 lanes...
Baron it's a bit late now but if you need anymore power parts from Ktm ring 'Eurotek' in Ripon and ask for 'Ktm forum discount' that's what I do and get 15% off mate! I know your not near Ripon but they deliver.
+ChristmasTrax He listed them in yesterday's video. He has the R1200GS he did Baron 24 on, the GSXR that he took greenlaning (and did Tour de Baron on), the Fireblade (track bike with carbon kevlar fairings), the 1978 R100 he just bought to restore and this.
Just watched the vid with it on the dyno and noticed you had the Akra can installed. Which in your opinion sounds best? And which is loudest. I have the akra and to be honest im very disappointed in it. Low volume and high cost.
+BaronVonGrumble The thing is you're fucking up the engine management as it is aligned after 1000ths of hours benchmarking with the stock exhaust. Just look up "how it's made 1290R"... they really put some serious thinking in that exhaust, clutch and engine management which makes it just not that easy to change it.
Hi Baron, whatched like probably all of your vids now. Funn-kin love them. But im not sure or i have missed it, did you win this bike in the KTM challenge? Since i know you F-up on that miles per gallon thing with it i just wonder. Awsome bike anyway. and do you still got the Ducati panigale 899?
You hade my like at "this is carbon, this is carbon, this is carbon" :D
+bichers i lol'd
I like that RJ and the Baron both are showing off their Super Dukes. I like seeing the different things they are doing to the bikes, and the overload of SuperDuke! I can never have enough Superduke in my life.
Any carbon fiber on it? ;)
BVG and RJ now have the same bike, colab needs to happen
+JASP EATS It wont, RJ likes to be private and doesnt do meet up, shame really because Baron is a cool dude!
+JASP EATS But what if they're the same person
Brian W I have just entered the twilight zone!
Who is Shmee?
+fraand He dosen't anymore
You seem a lot happier now. Glad to see you coming out with more videos! I love the KTM.
Oh you beauty! Pumping videos on almost daily basis. Love you for it Baron!
Oh BVG!
How I love your work.
Great to see the bike back on the road after the spill!
Enjoying these frequent uploads, props to you Baron. ;)

BVG plus RJ ride together with their KTM 1290 duke?
I test rode the 690R duke today and even that was fantastic, was rather impressed! Much better than my bandit 600
That sticker placement! That is the Jizz machine, very nice Mr Von Grumble!
A Baron riding a Duke. No homo.
the new slip on exhaust sounds awesome!! also your upgrades are sick!! love tha carbon
What happened with the rozzers, did I miss something?
+Stephen Stallebrass Yeah, I'm curious about that too. Unless he means the time he got his bike seized and then there was no further action due to a technicality. But that was some time ago...
This is Carbon! I'll endorse the song
I'm replaying the "this is carbon". So catchy
100% Jizz Machine mate. love the carbon and that sound.
Barons churning the videos out like hot cakes! Me likey!!!
Hey look up Grip Puppies. They just slide right over your stock grips and are a great upgrade for only $20.
I think an Austin Racing GP1 exhaust is in order for this bike, really make it sound like the prototype 1290.
I know your pain with big hands and small grips. Even XXL gloves are sometimes too short in the fingers for me, and my fingertips actually come around and touch the heel of my hands, so if I try to grip harder (I race motocross, so sometimes this is necessary), nothing actually happens as far as desired results.

Ze Baron is a LEGEND
Barron is on a roll!
Congrats on winning the bike! I like it!
Amazing! Beautiful!.... Personally I wouldn't put the Ktm Superduke stickers on the tank preferring a total carbon / black look with a few orange details, but it's my taste. Love the "Jizz machine" sticker 😊
Please come to Cheltenham and Winchcombe I think you will love it it's got perfect country roads :)
what a coincidence RJ put a vid of the same bike today :D
If you dont like the normal mirrors, why dont you just get some cheap bar ends mirrors and take them apart and use them as under bar mirrors ?
Such a rad bike, much kiwi love from NZ keep up great content
B, have you done anything to the cat box? your bike sounds awesome. when I tested different slip ons onto the cat it sounded identical to standard, so I went went the AR GP3. And that is insanely loud...
Drop the beat. This is carbon This is carbon This is carbon.
I'm sure a 'this is carbon' remix needs to happen lol
First time i comment here ! Always great videos ! Love the intro music !! Keep going its awesome
16 today can't wait till I get a bike like that
NICE TO SEE YOU AND ROYAL JORDANIAN BOTH HAVE THESE INSANE BIKES. DUAL VLOG ANYTIME SOON??
+Bowa Journey RJ doesn't want to meet up with Baron. RJ prefers being private.
I had a feeling... its worth a try anyway. Thats what i like about RJ... you see him when you see him lol
+Bowa Journey Yeah exactly, if you're lucky enough!
I know the areas he drives through and every time im about and hear a motorbike I look to see if its him and it never is lol. hopefully one day though.
Really cool bike! I would replace the chain with an orange one, but mayby im wierd like that.
IS there video of Baron crashing the Super Duke?
So much content, love it!
ooo 2 vids u are spoiling us hehe great vid man :P
Daaaaayyyyuuuuum so much carbon goodness. Would you change the mirrors out for some aftermarket ones?
Baron! What about some smart bar end mirrors? They'd look mint on that bike
+acdcjonnyboy Yeah I was thinking that as well. Seeing as he won't ride it into London he doesn't have to worry about making the bars longer haha.
Yeah exactly! Ever those bar ends that raise up over or down under the bars, they're nice too
Can you still get the steering lock on with that reduced steering range?
Any chance you could do a test ride on a trumph 675 would love to know what you think
Pretty sweet looking bike there
Is your visor on your helmet dark or mirrored, as mirrored and more than 50% dark is illegal in the UK but I wondered if you've ever been pulled over for it, as I want to get a dark/mirrored visor but don't want to get pulled over for it
+XoLEGENDZoX its mirrored Gold (of course ;) - never been tugged for it.
+BaronVonGrumble but i always carry a clear one if im going to be out after dusk.
***** thanks mate, I think I'm gonna get a silver mirror one but yeah carrying the clear is a good idea. thanks for your reply :)
+XoLEGENDZoX I've used both a silver mirrored and dark visor and I can honestly say, the police don't give a shit. I've filtered past them wearing one, they've overtaken me and even looked straight at me whilst giving way. That said I always carry a clear, no matter what the weather or time of day.

Awaiting the next video patiently... Not hurry up Baron :) haha
I usually don't care about that stuff, but who do you thing is faster? RJ or BVG? (obviously with the KTM)
I share your pain about the small grips. always looking for fatter grips for the larger hands. let us know if you find any
Nice, Baron, what gear are you riding with? And what enduro / Dirt bike do you have? I recall seeing it, but can't remember what it was.
+Storm im wearing a Furygan Apex suit. AGV Corsa (or Pista) lid, Rukka argosourousarsuorosargosrous gloves.
Would you say the rear sets you've got are worth the money...? I've still got the standard ones on mine and they suck balls...
Very nice vid !! Good song with the carbon ^^ Your bike is beautiful, and she's more beautiful with the carbon !!! V
Love the stickers on the tank revealing a smaller nicely shaped section of carbon, that'd what makes a nice bike or car, detailing and colour schemes, Very very nice Barron, so go on then what's the mods costs, hehe
Awesome bike mate looking forward to more videos :)
Great bike! I noticed you were wearing an AGV Corsa in another video, how do you like that helmet? I've been thinking about getting one. Great videos also, always enjoy them!
hey baron,
what bend did you go with on those renthal fat bars?
Lovely build mate!
happy jizzing BvG :> bike sounds sublime idd!
Like the styling of your Superduke! Awesome! :)
Can you tell me what Mic do you use in your helmet, and maybe how you placed it inside your helmet? :)
Greetings from Austria
Mr. Baron, which mode do you use the most when just dicking about and going from A to B?
Ehi baron! We want a super duke meeting with RJ! What do you think?
+Mukenin90 RJ declined it in the past, he's a private guy
How much weight you lose after installing the carbon parts and the exhaust
If you want soft and thicker grips, shove some Grip Puppies on there! - They're great for a tenner.
+Baronvongrumble have you still got that BMW R100/7?? If not what happened to it?
Missed the seat! How does it compare to the stock seat?
Laughed my ass off at the "this is carbon" song
Baron why don't you get some Carbon fibre look a like mirrors from eBay? Only like £12 for a pair :D I have some and are better than stock mirrors because there is no shoulder seen in them :)
Dam I do love the sight of carbon fibre omg it looks so nice. Think I need to go shopping for some parts now and I'm going to blame you for me spending all my moneyz hahaha
get some bar end mirrors. look up yummir6 to see what they look like.
Anyone got any tips on how to filter on standstill motorway or A-Road traffic, was stand still the other day and i found it very uncomfortable riding on the cateyes down the centre of 2 lanes...
Carbon fibre makes this rebuild elegant.
Baron it's a bit late now but if you need anymore power parts from Ktm ring 'Eurotek' in Ripon and ask for 'Ktm forum discount' that's what I do and get 15% off mate! I know your not near Ripon but they deliver.
Hi, What do you think of the KTM RC 390 ? Would you recommend it as a good leaner bike or maybe something else ?
+Tobias Gosselin yes, its a great bike - shock is a bit soft but adds to the comfort ;)
You and RoyalJordanian need to Super Duke it out!
What tires are you running on the 1290? in general and in the video?
As said, better than RJ's :) Well done you make worth our vote power :))
nice bike, much carbon^^
must be very light
bike looks fantastic,
Bar ends would look good on it
Hi Baron I like your stash
Great vids Baron........btw are you Simon Webb (actor not singer)
What bikes do you have now? I forgot you had the Superduke
+ChristmasTrax He listed them in yesterday's video. He has the R1200GS he did Baron 24 on, the GSXR that he took greenlaning (and did Tour de Baron on), the Fireblade (track bike with carbon kevlar fairings), the 1978 R100 he just bought to restore and this.
+Zanpa top marks :)
+BaronVonGrumble Recent events with the PoPo? I take it someone was having a bit too much fun?
+BaronVonGrumble how about the old gixer? The grey one? the Srad if I am not mistaken
+Zanpa Thanks man. I watched this video first and then the other one so I didn't realise
Are those carbon or regular plastic?
beautiful... yeah, definitely don't park it up in central London unless you are able to tie a Pit Bull to it as a deterrent.
What does she ride like is she comfortable?
Just watched the vid with it on the dyno and noticed you had the Akra can installed. Which in your opinion sounds best? And which is loudest. I have the akra and to be honest im very disappointed in it. Low volume and high cost.
+KrAzYDucati yep, Akra is pretty quiet and as you say... pricey. for £200 that Pipewerx is beast.
+BaronVonGrumble
The thing is you're fucking up the engine management as it is aligned after 1000ths of hours benchmarking with the stock exhaust.
Just look up "how it's made 1290R"... they really put some serious thinking in that exhaust, clutch and engine management which makes it just not that easy to change it.
Which model of renthal fat bars are they?
Hi Baron, whatched like probably all of your vids now. Funn-kin love them. But im not sure or i have missed it, did you win this bike in the KTM challenge? Since i know you F-up on that miles per gallon thing with it i just wonder. Awsome bike anyway. and do you still got the Ducati panigale 899?
Never mind.. watched the other video that you mentioned that you have won it. Congrats mate! So glad for you :D
Beautiful bike!
That zorst snap, crackle & pop is utterly sexual...
Are the power parts real or fake carbon?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay love you baron keep being a boss.
Love the bike!
Do more vids on the bmw
What happened to the 899!?
From the words of the mighty Barron himself "Super Dick R"
Is there a video of the accident? Don't remember seeing anything haha
+TheZallene No, he said it happened at the beginning of the track day and he hadn't mounted the camera yet.
+TheZallene I remember him saying in a past video, that he did not capture the crash on film
Bar-CarBonGrumble
I loooooove carbon !!!
