2020 KTM 1290 Super Duke R - First ride Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- I picked up the 2020 KTM 1290 Super Duke R a few days ago so here is my initial first ride review of what I think so far. The Superduke R original was KTM's 'Beast' naked motorcycle but it never quite lived up to the hype. The next revision of the Super Duke R 2.0 was an improvement but suffered a very spritely front end, so how does the 2020 1290 Super Duke R fair?

"It feels like you've strapped a seat to a rhino, and someone is towel-flickin' its nuts". Probably the best description of a Super Duke I've ever heard!
🤣👍
Have to agree with you Crown Moto. Makes me wanna buy one on that description alone!!! 😁
@@Solrak8O Just put a deposit on one!
One of the most hilarious descriptions I've ever heard. I will wait my entire life for an opportunity to use that one 🤣
I tried one of these recently back to back with the new Streetfighter & as a road bike I much preferred the Ktm. The Ducati is a fab thing but you have to rev it to get the most from it so that means insane speeds whereas the 1290 with that incredible midrange is much nicer & friendlier.......But i've already had 2 gen 1s & 2 gen 2s so maybe i'm a little biased. I live in the s/w France just 1 hour from Spanish border & some of the best riding roads in Europe so if any of you guys want to come down shoot me a line. Picking up new Superduke next weekend.....can't wait!
So Lamb Chops loves this bike, Teapotone loves this bike. Just need TMF to ride the new 1290 and I can see 3 new orders being make to KTM!
I really wish these guys would take a break mate, we end up spending money we haven't got 😂
Statham loved it as well, 44teeth
Been buying big bore superbikes since my first new one 1981 Kawasaki KZ1100R no not ELR, Canada got the gpz1100 engine in KZ style,and after about 8 new bikes since then,I wanted something much different I wasn't worried of speed having 2015 H2. Yes this bike makes you feel young. If someone purchased this as first bike they'll die.
I can no longer see a nationals sign without hearing you singing "Naaaationals!" and then winding on.....if I get caught speeding it's entirely your fault. Thank you :)
Guilty!!!!! 😂👍
I had one of these when my 1290GT was being serviced.. it was another level! One of these and a cheaper tourer could be the ultimate combo for me.
Ah Bruce I’m so please you love it. Trust me when I say that every ride on a SDR you fall deeper in love! It is by far the best bike I’ve ever owned!
Never rode V-twin except Harley, getting mine within 5 days. I have my ZX-14 as my touring bike no electronics. The 1290R I got the tech package, this should be something of a challenge. 🇨🇦
This is one of those bikes you can tell from video, it's an animal, a monster. Beast 3.0, as they call it.
I wanna try one so bad
Best road bike I’ve ridden so far.
Loved it
I bought this bike in August and I´m still thrilled ..... in your review I found all the emotions I´m experiencing myself ..... one moment you can do nothing but not stop grinning .... the other moment you are shouting out loud because of the pure joy this bike gives you ....I loved your review ......
Awesome, glad you’re still enjoying the ownership experience Don, that’s great to hear 👍
hi again ..... had some time on my hands and the weather not being fit for riding I ended up bingewatching the videos of your world tour ...... impressing ...... as you are in for adventure and intercultural experiences .... how about the St. James way (Camino de Santiago/Northern Spain)? ...... 780 km "by feet" ...... demanding but gratifying ..... I did it in 2017/2018/2019 ...... nothing to do with motorcycles but you can test out your physical limits as well and you get to meet the whole world on the way ......Live your life!
I got mine last Friday...had a few short blasts...it feels special...traded my BMW S1000R in which I loved...I worried I had done the right thing...I am 100% certain I have...😍😍😍
Best road bike available at the mo in my opinion, truly superb 👍
Love the comparisons and the explanations used. I just ordered the 2016 one.
If I’m still alive - you’ll see many more comments on your videos. Thanks for the video.
"Towel flickin' it's nuts" will now forever be in my vernacular
😂😉
You were a bit vague in whether you liked it...... Not normally a fan of KTM but that does look good in black.
I've had an 18 plate 1290R since last November, What a bike, mine is filthy as I ride it if its not raining any weekend. Gonna spruce it up a bit tomorrow morning for a meet at 1066 cafe but nothing major, You are right about the noise from the standard can. Mine has an Akrapovic titanium full system, very light, very noisy
Rode one yesterday, got to be one of the maddest bikes I have ridden loved it the power was crazy loved the handling very confidence inspiring
Got to be the best bike available for ‘Grin Factor’ - it’s just insane 👍
Rocket accelerator. You slipped past all the traffic like they were parked. Got you at the turn around. I'm older too,but I would still set a foot for the immediate pivot and give it a turn about on the short. Unless you have really grippy tires you should just spin 180 in half the space. This is a very quiet bike. KTM makes race bikes for the off road and touring experience, so your power is not a surprise on this bike. This is such a beautiful bike.
Had mine for a week now, so far 400 miles and 400 smiles 😀
Just purchased mine today, it's 2am here in Canada. Unfortunately tomorrow is Canada day so I'll have wait until Friday pick her up. Sure is one of a kind. Got the tech package, that alone to me will be thrilling. Having a ZX-14 with no electronics, now to best there is electronics package will be something else. 🇨🇦
Loved the music, the camera work, the bike, the grin factor 10 👍 great work bud I think you've done ktm proud there 👌
Cheers Rob, that’s very kind of you mate, glad you enjoyed it.
I loved making this vid, much more along the lines of what I’m trying to aspire to 👍
Well done young man , a very enjoyable review , I think you like the bike and we all know why , your enthusiasm is contagious . I shall have a look at one in the dealership when they open the doors again .
Great stuff Alan, I appreciate your kind words too bud 👍
Incredible Bruce isnt it, absolutely love the thing. Way way better than last years version
Insane, just a mammoth grind inducing maniac.
But.... I was out with my lot today and they were all on GS’s and I tell you what - for normal road riding you can’t loose the tractors and they are way more stable at high speeds along crappy British back roads. Only time the Duke really shone was the faster A-roads were I could stretch its legs over 6-7k revs, then it just takes off!
It’ll wheelie in 4th!!!!...... apparently 😬😂
Chops did you review this latest version as well?
I have the GS1250 and power wise it’s just right. I haven’t been overtaken may times yet and when that does happen it’s usually by someone who is prepared to go way over a speed limit in a stupid place.
I got 2016 SDR in the garage, got it brand new and i was contemplating a 2021 GSA, ran thru my mind to sell it then I realized that no other bike will EVER fill as crazy sooo, fck it, im keeping them both.
Gsa is on the boat right, cant wait to enjoy it
Just discovered this chamnel and after just one video from you I gotta say you're already one of my favorites!
Awesome
Ha Ha thanks bud!
Welcome to the channel 👍
I had a GS and randomly went for a test ride of the ‘19 Duke last April. I sold the KTM dealer the GS and bought a new Duke at the end of the test ride .... it is ridiculous, it is too much, but every trip is an adventure and even the noise and punch to road legal max speeds is a joy. I do miss the GS, a more “all rounder” would be great, so ideally if you afford the two... best of all worlds.
Your enthusiasm is addictive, absolutely love your channel. Really sorry I missed your chat when you came to Swansea just before the lockdown. With regard to the screen on your phone, I’ve the same issue with my gloves. Although it’s a pain I try and remember, before I go off for a ride to put the screen auto lock to “never” . Hope that helps.
Keep doing what your doing, I love it!!!
Far as I could say, you've explained the stuff quite to the point about this supposedly an animal of a motorcycle, really. I actually felt the way you spoke about this bike.
Thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Don't apologize, your love of this bike is infectious! I was similar yesterday, working from home I got to mid afternoon and decided to go for a ride instead, one of the first proper rides of 2020 (up in Aberdeenshire), and was grinning all of the way round!
A recent watcher of your bike review vids. I am enjoying them immensely, as a former graduate from the bike course at Hendon, I appreciate a reviewer that enjoys making progress.
Loving my GT, get all the practicality with it, active suspension, heated everything. Best of both worlds imho! 👍
Such a beast of a bike KTM have progressed massively imagine what an updated RC8 would be like!? 😈
Your summary at the end is impressive.
Tour, commute, go the shop, go the track, if it can do all that comfortably then its gonna sell.
If only I could buy one. Thanks Bruce another great bike to drool n dream about cheers.
Apparently the original SD had a 180 hp then it was revised to 170 etc etc.
I had the original SD, it was bonkers but also a very unrefined. It wobbled even on a constant throttle through corners my old FZS1000 would glide through. It also leaked oil and unless you were in the right gear it was useless.
I ended up selling it and buying an MT10.
Great job Bruce 👍 puzzled at the end when the two in the background were walking backwards 😉🤣
😂🤣😂 you can’t be serious on this bike . Just had my first service I’m addicted 👌🏼
Since today is Canada day, I'll be picking mine up this coming Friday. I purchased it due from being big guy and now at 55 years old, my days of hard core sport bikes over. Never had the opportunity take it for test drive, but from all the reviews not one issue. Just pure road warrior fun. Got the tech package, what's funny my ZX-14 has zero rider aids, will take sometime getting used to electronic package. 🇨🇦 Now that I've had it for few days can't figure out C1, C2 have you had any issues?
@@ross5506 If you haven't figured out C1 / C2 yet, they are "shortcuts" you can use to jump to various functionalities.
But first you need to set them to something (because I think that by default they are not set to any function, I can't remember).
To do this, go to Settings -> Custom Switches -> Custom Switch 1 / 2 and set them to whatever you wish. Then when you press the switch, it should jump to that functionality.
Hope this helps.
@@ScorpyonMike yes I finally figured it out. Now with 600 kilometers,I did burn- out engine light is on. Runs fine. I read on some forum people have also done this,after 3 cold start goes away. Only disappoinment cheap steering dampener,going put 30 weight oil. Beside that great if not best bike in 40+ years of riding. Why it has a 6 th gear no idea, lol.
@@ross5506 Glad you figured it out ^_^. I don't own the bike (though I would VERY much like to), I just developed the functionality (I'm the developer that implemented the custom switch feature), but as development goes, it was a long time ago so my memory was foggy about the default values. Especially since the functionality received some updates.
As for the engine light, I'm just wondering, but did the "shift light" start blinking while you were doing the burnout? (shift light is when the RPM bar starts blinking, or if you go high enough even the whole screen starts blinking).
If yes, and you were in the "whole screen blinking mode" and kept throttling, then that might be the reason why the engine light turned on. Normally, that just tells you to go to a service to go have the engine checked and make sure everything is alright. But most often, it's not an issue.
Also, when they check the engine at a service, they reset DTCs so the engine light goes off, and only if it turns back on it usually means you might have a slight problem (as long as it's amber and not red. if red, then you should immediately stop riding and take the bike to a service, or you risk badly damaging the engine).
As for the 6th gear, the bike has plenty of horsepower and torque to still keep going even when in 5th gear, so why not put a 6th gear? :D
Keep in mind that KTM is an Austrian company, which is the next door neighbour to Germany where they have motorways that have no speed limit... so the sky is the limit.
Nice review Bruce, agree with everything you had to say. I've been looking at replacing my 2018 KTM SD and have recently test riden the Aprilia Tuono, Ducati Streetfighter and the 2020 KTM SD. I've just put my order in for the new KTM, it's the one for me.
Me too,I find the steering dampener sucks,you can put thinker oil 30 weight or get the one that KTM should of from start in power parts WP apex dampener is 12 way adjustable. KTM is really CHEAP. Found a perfect screen for it, company located from France. If you can't find it message me and send you company name,look like will do much better job than the power bronze. Cheers from Canada,I just had it Dyno 2019 model are around 153 HP at wheel,2020 172 at wheel so much for 3 go more lol. Put Austin slip-on V3 200mm with any another mode 178.8 HP back wheel. Tech guy said with PC5 and intake work removal of choking euro 5 looking near 190. That's insane!!
Question are they reliable
Late to the party and have only just ridden my friends gen3 SDr. My good god what a bike! Comfy, damn fast, handles beautifully so as of today I'm on the hunt for one. Time to stop listening to the nay sayers about reliability and just do it...Great review thanks.
Right, I'm blaming you if I go out and buy one of these now! I love my 790 and have wondered on a number of occasions whether I should try the Beast, but have been a bit worried that I might love it even more and end up poor and penniless living under a bridge with just my new 1290 R to cuddle up to. Now I've seen this I've just got to try one. It'll be your fault if I get one!!!
Sir Lancelot Teapot on his steed with his camera on a lancer out front !!!! 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🦄🦄🦄🦄
Best review of this bike yet. You are going to buy one....
You know what, I have heard about you for ages but never subscribed... what have I been doing wae my life.. great review fellow 🏴 that bike looks awesome. If only I had a spare 17k. 👌
This is what a bikegasm is -some people go their whole life never having one
I've waited over 40 years for the perfect bike, purchased one yesterday, got wait 5 days from the factory. Never rode one, but from all the reviews nobody has nothing bad say about it.
Thanks.
Happy 4 your mate if it makes you feel that good gotta buy one mate we only live once.
The 690 Duke R had the same effect on me (but a rather lesser effect on my wallet and probably my license and liberty too). Felt 17 again. Remembered why I started riding bikes.
Id love to see a video on the 890 Duke R and see what you think of it
Love your videos, I had never seen your channel before I started looking for a new bike during this winter, but this video alone made me order the new Super Duke 1290 R 2021 model. Less than a week from now I will be picking it up, and I just can't wait. I have watched this video probably 6-7 times by now, and it makes me laugh as much every single time. Great content, keep it coming!
Ha Ha thanks Tom, I STILL love this bike, I keep asking KtM if I can get it again for another loan😬😂
Very jealous of your new baby, still the best overall road bike available in my book 👏👏
How have you been liking it?
Think i'll wait for the GT version of this. That will be epic.
On a 2019 GT now and that is good enough that I told my dealer to reserve a 2021 GT.
Got mine and run it in... it’s a missile, get one bought 😎 (averaging about 150 miles to the tank riding half sensible)
Looks like a lot of fun Bruce! I'd like to see your thoughts on the Kawasaki ZH2 which seems to offer similar performance for similar money. 👍
Kawa is more a soft MUSCLE-BIKE, - while KTM feels as a much more sporty NAKED !
I don’t have any connections with Kawasaki dealer at the mo
Pick Mine Up Tomorrow Teapot cant wait
Awesome bud, it’s a fantastic machine.
Enjoy 👍
teapotone I will thanks bud 🏍👍
Bruce . You know you want one .... Now you’re doing this caper for a living. This monster is a tool of your trade no different to a carpenter buying a van 😉 cheers
ill stick with the gt version personally, its a hoot and tours!
No top end gets old!! Sometimes you wanna hit 140-160-mph !! Y i went Ducati StreetFighter V-4S, i got nuts power EVERYWHERE!!!
Love the commentary, its that kid your parents dont want you to be around, off sniffing glue lmfao
Well of course if you go for the 1290 Super adventure S you get the practicality of the GS with that 1290 engine - best of both worlds even in its 160 bhp form! Add an Arrow can and the Ergo seat and you have the perfect bike (I reckon)
Excellent review T pot I've got one in my garage , Gen. 1-16SDR yeah man Hooligans unite KTM 🙌 get you one too .
The only other naked bike I’d give my speed triple up for. Great video Bruce!
Thanks bud 👍
Currently torn between this and its baby brother the 890R. Both seem to be getting fabulous reviews. Coming from a 2016 1290GT and a 990SMT before that, whatever i get it will be Orange!
What a machine only 3 are available here in Ontario Canada. They are price gouging. KTM should have the electronic package as standard in such competitive class. Sure is sweet machine! Great review, i love the laughs making you feel like teenagers at 55 year's old my days off being hunched over are gone. Perfect for us old road warriors. Cheers from Canada. "The bike that sniffs glue" lol.
Awesome, that wasn't a review that was a kid on Christmas Day😆
I upgraded to the 2017 1290 all black full Akra model from the 2015 model but this latest one i just don't like the looks such as plastic around the tank, the wheels, seat and especially the lack of trellis frame as the previous one had, i do like the upgraded dash/switchgear, however beauty is in the eye of the beholder so that's just my thoughts.
I'm fixated by the 360 camera hanging out in the wind 😂.
It's a beast of a bike, just seems to pick up speed effortlessly.
I gave a thumbs up with the first transition after 2 seconds. Nice step up Bruce!
What a brilliant video, I was expecting it’s not as good as my GS however I can see you love it . I have the 2019 version and that also makes me feel like a kid every time . Keep up the good work .
I Know Exactly how you feel, i picked up my 2020 SDR on Tuesday! My only gripe is the KTM MY Ride is non existent! Is that yet another pay to unlock!! I got the "tech Pack" for $750 oh excuse me $900 OTD! The Tech Pack included all other upgrades but no KTM My Ride! WTF! Awesome video! Best SDR description ever!
I had a courtesy one in 2015 when my bike was in for a service, even though it’s 5 yrs on I still remember vividly how exciting a bike it was and so incredibly easy to ride.... slight trepidation at first on hearing and reading the write ups but once on it I felt immediately at home.... Think about passing a vehicle and before you know it , it’s in your mirrors... if ever there was a psychic motorcycle then this is it.... maybe a Psychic Rhino lol... another great review and something to get excited about!!
Top vid Bruce, i have a 2014 Superduke and i have been trying to sell for a couple of years, and i just can't do it, as you said, when you ride it and open the throttle, its just unbelievable...
Thanks for the videos, all helping me pass the time whilst I wait 4hrs at the petrol station for Fuel Dr to arrive.....to drain out the £30 of diesel I just put in my GS 🤦🏻♂️
Let me guess it was a BP garage?
Wow! Video production on the intro is A+. Somebody has been busy! #Slick
Thanks 😉👍
great advice at the end
Nice now finding myself Googling for my nearest KTM Dealer 😋
Ha Ha you won’t be disappointed if you chuck your leg over one of these weapons 👍
HA! 25:51..."Whoo, what's going on here? Ooh, dogging." LMFAO!
Trae UCity Me too!! Love watching Bruce’s reviews.
Great review Bruce makes me want one. And the whole video looks very polished and great drone footage at the end.
Cheers bud, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Was TMF the curse, or is it the curse that TMF complains of😉? Very timely review TP1 - went for a ride with a mate, he on one of those 114 ci HD and me on my s1000r, and the torque of his bike was apparent in how our bikes accelerated when hitting our equivalent Nationals. In all honestly, far better for road use than the s1000r and current hypernakeds. Just happens SuperDuke has similar torque as his HD, and me thinks the SD will be test ridden very soon. Back on the short list of replacements for my much ridden ‘17 BMW
Beautiful bike. Watched this video about 20x now
Another excellent video chief, love the drone footage at the end with you sat on the bike. 👍
Thanks Chris, I got a bollocking from the park ranger for that 🤷♂️
teapotone worth it though hey...
Loved the drone footage at the end Bruce. Loving the vids!
Working with bike safe? That truly is some crazy irony 🤯
that smile on your face at the end says it all, ha! NATIONALLLLS, cracking vid and great first ride review, cant wait to see more!
Aloha from Kauai, I just bought that full blown hooligan bike an LOVE IT!!! ABSOLUTELY A FUKN MONSTER
✊🤣🤘
First time im watching this vlogger.
First impressions: badass beard, nice. Followed by close up of the bike which is dirty! (People always shows you tje cleanest close up which to be honest is only 1% of the time as the Gods of the Road always make it rain whenever you cleaned your bike).
I think im gonna like tjis guy. 👍
This just became my all time favorite bike review. Well done sir, well done! I was literally laughing out loud with the towel flicking the rhino's nuts. :0:):). Saw a comment below about you doing a review on the ZH2...please do!
Ha Ha thanks bud, glad you enjoyed it.
I’ll see what I can do Re the ZH2 👍
Bruce, love to see a vid on new StreetFighter V4...any plans on getting that out for a ride?
On my test ride I found the front to be vague, tended to push out rather than hold a line. I current ride a v4 tuono and it felt soooo stable after riding the SD. Maybe the test bike i was given had been played with???
That engine is bloody impressive and them Torque figures are next level 👀👍
I’ve never heard you so enthusiastic about any bike. I really shared it with you. The only bike I’d like you to compare it with is the Ducati Streetfighter V4. Wish you well Yours aye, Alan
I've got to stop watching videos on this bike... I had a '17 gsxs1000 that I made a silly trade in on. Gotta get back to a naked giggle machine and I think this is it.
Honestly Shane, the new Gen 3 Superduke R is amazing - I still
Dream about that bike 👏😂👍
Wow bloody wow if that was an advertisement I’d have bought. Absolutely loved your excitement and thanks for sharing the soud Man I want one. Great show Bruce keep em coming I’m hooked. 🤪😂🏍👌💪
like a child with a new toy bruce!
Ahhhhhh you're a hard one to pin down, Bruce. A true man of mystery. After your KTM review i thought you were hooked and had to have some of that Orange Fury. But no....... nicely staged suspense, sir. You had me to the last second there.
Nice bit of camera work Matey!
Hiya Bruce, my dream bike totally awesome ! Love your enthusiasm 😊
On a side note, I've been catching up with you're round the world adventure, WoW ! Fantastic !
The Thailand epic episode had me in tears ( ya bandit ya ) 😅 when you were having to try to pick your bike up with no one around and then the help you got when someone came. 👌
Our Sons been in the police for 3 years up Nottingham way, a biker too, it made me feel very happy for you to be asked to do the bikesafe they must realise by now what a genuinely nice guy you are.
Best wishes Bruce, Neil 👍
Greetings from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, I get nervous watching you ride, because you drive on the left and you go fast too. I'm anticipating a certain turn, and boom theres a truck there. Lol I'd die on your roads.
I have both- The Ducati StreetFighter is better in every category!! You want handling and speed!! Go V-4 !!!!! Ferocious power!!!
My local dealer when I was in with him yesterday said he has sold 5 this week in Ireland they are 20k OTR love the drone footage at the end 👍👍👍👍👍
Great video. Thanks for introducing me to your channel, I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. You’ve made me want a KTM now. 🤣
Your edits are becoming very next level sir. Very cinematic and very high end stuff like PM.
It makes my channel and edits look so bad haha. But I’m just filming tarantulas so doesn’t need to be so good I suppose?
Wow man, thank you very much indeed! I’m a whole world away from the likes of Peter McKinnon but really appreciate your kind words, and I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
We’re all learning as we go bud, just keep producing the content you enjoy at the best level you can, and have fun doing it 👍
teapotone your welcome bud, and in all honesty I think the only editing skills PM has on yourself is colour grading. But that obviously comes from his photography background and as far as “motorvloggers” goes you are 100% the top dog for editing. Been watching your vids since I saw you on “adventure bike tv” years ago and your skill set is on a constant climb “every day is a school day” anyway I think I’ve buttered you up enough haha in summary great vid and can’t wait for the next one. If you ever want to learn about tarantulas (god knows why you would) give me a watch bud.
Thinking KTM should give you a SDR after that review you’ve got to have pushed the sales up excellent could you tell me what make trousers they are have they got armour thanks
They’re ‘Red Route’ cargo jeans from J&S Accessories, yep they come with knee and hip armour
That's the bike I want in the garage next to the GSA. Amazing machine.
Great review Bruce, that's exactly how my 66 plate GT makes me feel, with the added bonus of luggage.
After watch this Bruce I think 🤔 you liked it a bit 😂😂😂😂 great watch as always thanks Bruce 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Cheers Donald 👍
Fantastic vid Bruce. Never been quite drawn by these angular looking machines but the giggle factor may do it 👍
