It's interesting. If you compare videos of 2024 MT-09 reviews vs. Duke 990, the MT-09 viewcount blows the 990 video viewcount out of the water. The new Duke 990 is extremely overpriced and that's not justified especially considering you have to pay extra to unlock electronics, in addition to the cheap switchgear feel and other quality concerns.
KTM seems to spend zero time working out the faults during a model run and just replace the whole thing after 3-4 years. So I wouldn’t count on the 990 being particularly reliable in the long run either. I mean it’s been 7 years and the LC8C still suffers from oil leaks and worn out camshafts.
its all good with these bikes , really, but , what if you ''fall'' into a hole or bumb on a bad condition road?? we , the bikers, we have always the concern if some dog, cat ,deer jumb in front of us, with this kind of bikes , theres a need for an extra concern , the ''traps'' of bad roads ...

Hi @Schaaf, so first of all, thanks for all your videos, I have been a subscriber for a while and never wrote a comment before, totally enjoy the style of your videos and your style of riding. Did you ever have a chance to test ride the Honda CB650R? I was curious to hear your opinion on that bike. I mean, being an inline 4 it should fare quite well in one of our RAW videos ahah Keep up the good work, cheers 😎
I really love these videos man if you don't mind what is your GoPro settings man and what nd filters are you using the quality of the video is like perfect. Daamn man keep doing this makes my life happy to ride my motorcycle
spot on the biting point, I have the older 890 duke(non R) and it feels like the brake cannot be used without ABS, the biting is so sudden and not progressive, I don't get a good feedback when the front locks. sadly I had a small issue that resulted in the whole ABS + MTC getting disabled, and a few months later I crashed because the front locked suddenly without a good feedback. maybe it's a different story with the R version, hope this model gets an R version too.
Hi Schaff, do you think the front brake could be improved with braided lines, if it hasn't got them, and EBC Sintered pads? Cheers enjoyed that, I like a front endy bike and it sounds great.
I'm surprised KTM went with the cheaper no name brake calipers and not Brembo's. Especially on a bike that's so quick in the twisties. Maybe a R version will have better brakes?

From my experience, the Brakes on the 890 Duke R are brutaly good. Much better than the ones on the 990 Duke. Should be, I mean the 890 Duke R has top of the line Brembo Stylema callipers and the rotors have 20mm more in diameter. Surely the 990 Duke R will be introduced in 2025. And i bet they will have the Brembo Stylema brakes on it. The Suspension of the 890 Duke R is more track focused. Everything feels a bit sharper but also harder. So for everyday commuting, i think the 990 Duke has the better suspension. For Track riding, i would prefer the suspension of the 890 Duke R. But let's be honest, without looking at the price tag, you should compare the 990 Duke with the 890 Duke, not the R-Version. In this case, i would definitely prefer the 990 Duke over the 890 Duke.

hi Schaaf, can you do a video where you share in details the consumption of the mt 10, for example mixing city ride, highway and Mountain pass and see how many kilometers you can do with all kind of speed ;)
Ich verstehe einfach nicht wieso die 990 so viel krasser und extravaganter klingt wie die 1290 gen3 . Selbst meine ältere Euro 4 macht nicht so ein Feuerwerk . Also klang ist echt eine 1und und das trotz Euro 5 Ich hoffe ich kann die 990 auch mal fahren . Die 890 hat mich damals nicht so überzeugen können im vergleich zur 1290 . 😊
@@Schaaf versteh leider nicht so ganz warum , fahren lässt sich das ja dementsprechend wild wenn man möchte , aber mit dem Sound von ner 990/890 wäre das ein Traum
I like the brutale 1000 style of build display. But lets be honest for a sec, i was just getting used to 890/790 faces and bam here comme the uggliest thing earth have seen. No matter how fun, sorry can’t get over it. It could be nice tho if cf moto would get the 890r engine now, kinda like its design, or the newest huskvarna 801 (well then 901). Also bit sad that it is now an old SDR sized engine, but nowhere close in cool factor as it is still a parallel twin and not a v twin. Missed shot here could have been a nice memory.
I'm afraid it could not since there's strict emission laws these days. They only manage to go through these with increased engine sizes as far as I know
I think they should’ve held back and showed us they vould fix ALL the problems and reliability issues with the 890 instead of putting all focus on building a new bike that people will hesitate to buy until it’s proved reliable. Headlight looks better now. They should’ve stopped there.
in which turns exactly was I too hot? Not once did I leave my safe riding line. I'd genuinely like to know but I'm afraid I won't get a meaningful answer
@@Schaaf it's not just you. You were in your lane. I cannot argue with this. But you never know what awaits you after a blind turn. That's why i pointed out the time stamp. You were riding slow and you had time to react. I am watching your vids for years.
Supposedly 990 tank is made from aluminum but I get you personally could not spend money on a new bike if it's not feeling well made and screwed together
Due to stricter emission standards manufacturers (mostly) have to increase engine capacity to be able to extract similar power. Middleweight bikes currently are from 700 to 950 cc. This KTM competes with Kawasaki's z900 and Yamaha's MT 09.
At that pricepoint its ridiculous that they are puting on their china brakes... They are straight out garbage compared to the Brembo calipers and master cylinder on the 1290 or the 890R. You can put those on a 390 but not on bike that is meant to be ridden hard and gets advertised for its performance on twisty roads. You are a very experienced rider but I think there are a lot of people that are not able distinguish a fading break straight away and maybe overusing it even more. And that can end up very bad.
the only good thing about the Duke 990 are the pops and bangs, but over all a extremely overpriced china bike. 0 Reasons to buy that thing if you still can get a 890R or even a 2023 SDR for cheap. with the tech pack its 18k€ fuck that honestly, I rather save up 1-2k more and buy a real good bike like a tuono V4 or Ducati which has Brembo brakes and fully adj. suspension. I would even get a zx10r and I personally hate this bike.
The new Duke 990 will sit above the KTM Duke 890 and will be manufactured at KTM's plant in Mattighofen, Austria. The 790 and lower are produced in China, 390 is India.
@@Druezy pretty much every news page said the opposite, 390,790 = made in india and 990 will be in China, since they work with CF moto now. But I'm not sure about the new 1390, could be still made in austria, but I highly doubt that since Pierer keeps laying off people like there is no tomorrow. also did you even compare the 990 and 890R? the 890R is better in every single way
@@Druezy dont trust anything what ktm said. Not even if they would say 2+2 = 4. I believe the news pages more than ktm itself. Pierer is a big asshole.
@@Floxiiik Stop spreading misinformation doofus, the 790 is made by CFmoto in china, everything below that is made in India and everything above the 790 is made in Austria, including the 690, and the 990.
@@SchaafI was thinking it was made at CF Moto facilities like the 790 and 890. I'm happy for Austrian workers! I have had the 950SM, the 990ADV and now the 1290 Super Adventure S. I live in the Dolomites and those bikes are awesome on my roads.

Ich verstehe einfach nicht wieso die 990 so viel krasser und extravaganter klingt wie die 1290 gen3 .
Selbst meine ältere Euro 4 macht nicht so ein Feuerwerk .
Also klang ist echt eine 1und und das trotz Euro 5
Ich hoffe ich kann die 990 auch mal fahren .
Die 890 hat mich damals nicht so überzeugen können im vergleich zur 1290 . 😊
Stimmt, ich werd hier auch ein RAW mit der 1390 posten. Klingt völlig unspektakulär
@@Schaaf versteh leider nicht so ganz warum , fahren lässt sich das ja dementsprechend wild wenn man möchte , aber mit dem Sound von ner 990/890 wäre das ein Traum
I like the brutale 1000 style of build display.
But lets be honest for a sec, i was just getting used to 890/790 faces and bam here comme the uggliest thing earth have seen. No matter how fun, sorry can’t get over it.
It could be nice tho if cf moto would get the 890r engine now, kinda like its design, or the newest huskvarna 801 (well then 901).
Also bit sad that it is now an old SDR sized engine, but nowhere close in cool factor as it is still a parallel twin and not a v twin. Missed shot here could have been a nice memory.
I'm afraid it could not since there's strict emission laws these days. They only manage to go through these with increased engine sizes as far as I know
I think they should’ve held back and showed us they vould fix ALL the problems and reliability issues with the 890 instead of putting all focus on building a new bike that people will hesitate to buy until it’s proved reliable. Headlight looks better now. They should’ve stopped there.
This or the MT10?
lol
take it easy man.. a little too hot in most of the turns. especially at 10:35, that would be the end of it.
in which turns exactly was I too hot? Not once did I leave my safe riding line. I'd genuinely like to know but I'm afraid I won't get a meaningful answer
@@Schaaf it's not just you. You were in your lane. I cannot argue with this. But you never know what awaits you after a blind turn. That's why i pointed out the time stamp. You were riding slow and you had time to react. I am watching your vids for years.
😀👍
thanks
Bro te falta la 1390 yo anelo mucho ese video
I did
Great vid, thanks !
Gotta say though, its sounds quite bad ^^
thanks
I’ll buy this bike maybe after 2 years 2nd hand, i’m pretty sure you can get them for 11k euro then 😂
Thing I can’t get over the the KTM’s, is just that everything is plastic… I know they are light weight but it’s a sea of cheap feeling plastics.
Supposedly 990 tank is made from aluminum but I get you personally could not spend money on a new bike if it's not feeling well made and screwed together
What’s the exhaust on 990?
Stock
@@gianlucasalan that sounded sweet. Did you make changes decat? Do you recommend duke r 890 or new 990 ?
@@Ramgaruda I don’t own the bike, in the caption you can find the infos.
€ 18k, its just to much..
agreed
Wierdermal echt gute Optik, aber der Winkel irritiert. Wenn man selbst Motorrad fährt, schaut man permanent nur ins obere 8el des Videos 😛
den anderen scheint es so zu gefallen ;)
I like to systematic ride...
OK
People who say this is a middleweigh have no braincells. This is a 1000cc bike so it competes with mt 10 and tuono v4s
Due to stricter emission standards manufacturers (mostly) have to increase engine capacity to be able to extract similar power.
Middleweight bikes currently are from 700 to 950 cc. This KTM competes with Kawasaki's z900 and Yamaha's MT 09.
exactly, thanks @vvevvevvvv
F that SUV at 10:36
;)
So not perfect...but does sound good
thanks
Hah😂haha. Thanks. Grotesk bike, scooter sound.
thanks
At that pricepoint its ridiculous that they are puting on their china brakes... They are straight out garbage compared to the Brembo calipers and master cylinder on the 1290 or the 890R. You can put those on a 390 but not on bike that is meant to be ridden hard and gets advertised for its performance on twisty roads.
You are a very experienced rider but I think there are a lot of people that are not able distinguish a fading break straight away and maybe overusing it even more. And that can end up very bad.
could be indeed, thanks
I heard the were from J Juan which is spanish but they do equipe some chineses bikes
for that price I take a streetfighter v2 thanks
;)
That headlight is hideous
:)
the only good thing about the Duke 990 are the pops and bangs, but over all a extremely overpriced china bike. 0 Reasons to buy that thing if you still can get a 890R or even a 2023 SDR for cheap.
with the tech pack its 18k€ fuck that honestly, I rather save up 1-2k more and buy a real good bike like a tuono V4 or Ducati which has Brembo brakes and fully adj. suspension. I would even get a zx10r and I personally hate this bike.
The new Duke 990 will sit above the KTM Duke 890 and will be manufactured at KTM's plant in Mattighofen, Austria. The 790 and lower are produced in China, 390 is India.
@@Druezy pretty much every news page said the opposite, 390,790 = made in india and 990 will be in China, since they work with CF moto now.
But I'm not sure about the new 1390, could be still made in austria, but I highly doubt that since Pierer keeps laying off people like there is no tomorrow.
also did you even compare the 990 and 890R? the 890R is better in every single way
@@Floxiiik I'm only stating facts, the 990 is not made in china. I took that directly from KTM. I just don't want misinformation.
@@Druezy dont trust anything what ktm said. Not even if they would say 2+2 = 4.
I believe the news pages more than ktm itself. Pierer is a big asshole.
@@Floxiiik Stop spreading misinformation doofus, the 790 is made by CFmoto in china, everything below that is made in India and everything above the 790 is made in Austria, including the 690, and the 990.
Too expensive and Made in China? 😮
it's made in Austria
@@SchaafI was thinking it was made at CF Moto facilities like the 790 and 890. I'm happy for Austrian workers! I have had the 950SM, the 990ADV and now the 1290 Super Adventure S. I live in the Dolomites and those bikes are awesome on my roads.
this bike really servers no purpose.
cool
Danke für das Video, Schaaf. Übelst hässliches Teil, aber fährt sich bestimmt geil.
genau so! ;)
Cool review, until you get off and look at it from the front. Went from 100 to 0 real quick 🤢. I know it's meant to be controversial yada yada, still a dumb approach by KTM imo. More controversial isn't more better.
hehehe
