How much smoother is it on long motorway rides?... I sold my 2015 model because it was rough over 75 mph on long rides. My KLX 250 is smoother and more enjoyable at 75.

That thing rips, very cool video! Placing an order on the Enduro tomorrow, can't wait for the snow to disappear ;) Edit: With regards to the electronics, as long as they can be turned off I think they are great. If I'm out in the forest I want everything off, but if I'm commuting early in the morning in near 0 degrees with heavy traffic around me I am happy to have ABS and traction control there to help!

Looks like it pulls harder than the older model. Electronics are a very good addition, since you can always turn them off. It has bigger fuel tank and updated looks. Upshift+downshift, ABS pro, 2 stage TC, under 150 kg's, superb suspension. This is the best road going supermoto at the moment, no arguments about that one. Actually, only downgrade on this one are the clocks, no rev counter, no gear position idiator.
It's actually pretty soft and heavy. I tried one for a full day of riding at a track and on a moutain road and you can definetly get much better for a similar price (TM smr 530 being the best choise at 115 kg wet weight vs 160 and the same top hp at the wheel of 62/3, waaaaaaaay better!)
Bike is anything but soft, set up the suspension to race and it is superb. Yes, it is heavy for a tight kart but only compared to a race supermoto, otherwise it is light and agile enough to have good fun. Price is high though, 10k €, when I bought my 2015 SMCR I paid 7500€
Finally you came to Portugal, my country! Enjoyed some nice roads in Serra de Monchique, Algarve, eh? ;) There are more roads like that in Portugal, from North to South!
Was für eine geile Strecke. War sicher mega fun mit der 690er. Und Elektronik hin oder her, solange das Fahren Spass macht, ist für mich alles bestens👍👍👍
Yeeeees , you came to Portugal ! So glad for that , we got the good stuff here . You should visit the north part if you get the chance, there are lots of twisties you would love 😀
I've got a 2013 690 SMC-R and Imo. the new electronics are very welcome, as long as they can be switched off. Here in Thailand roads are very slippery with constant surprise braking situations, including mid-corner when you get some asshole truck driver overtaking in a curve. For road use, ABS is a must and cornering ABS is a nice bonus. I've had so many near misses in a panic braking situation as the front locks. Traction control is a bit unnecessary, but as long as it can be disabled I don't see any problems. Quick shifters are simply awesome!
Sounds like the Quickshifter+ is doing a great job! Finally a RAW vid of the enginesound with shifting gears fast. Can't wait to ride one on my own, offcourse with an akra or so. Thanks for the vid!
That "Ready to Race" key tag is a permanent invitation to sin 😉 Great raw onboard wideo! 👌 I have a stupid question for you. I have never ridden myself a supermoto (unfortunately, I'm a bit too short for those tall bikes), but I'm curious because I sometimes watch videos made by some RUclipsrs who are true "supermoto guys" and who really enjoy it. I wonder if it's more exciting than the other bikes. Obviously you enjoyed your first ride on a supermoto, but is this really something very special?
It is. But mostly because of the upright seating position and the seat which allows you to move around in every direction. I loved it but still it is my least favourite category. I prefer to sit "in" the bike rather than on top of it
I pick up my 23 KTM SMCR two days from now I have a 22 to Africa twin she's a beast but I'm looking forward to this. I have a question is that stock exhaust? that sure sounds good. Can't wait
do you notice, no clutching and no throttle lift on changing gears, haha awesome. the only issue with the 2019 model is the front hight, it is dropped by at least 7 inches, which looks now like a toddler sm, but makes the weight of the rider more evenly distributed. i really wanted this bike but now i have to look for 2017 or less model to have the high seat and high front, but then it is the rear that is too soft.
Sehr leiwande Ausfahrt! Über die Elektronik gibts mMn wenig zu diskutieren - hochwertigste Ware die anscheinend unmerklich arbeitet, voll abschaltbar ist und im Fall der Fälle evtl Leben retten kann, ist im Straßenverkehr kein Fehler (ist ja kein Wettbewerbsgerät). Das Taschenrechner-Display und die ranzigen Spiegel sind bei 12k€ schon eher ein Manko, dabei gibts genug Schönes im Regal :D
Salut Schööfl, super Video! Die Farben, Landschaft, Sound und Bike sind himmlisch. Ich denke mit ein bisschen Fantasie könnte man das Bike in einem guten Tourer ändern, zB mit kleinem Schirm, Sattel und viel Rokstraps 😉 Man merkt in der Video die Leichtigkeit der Maschine und das bisschen Kippeligkeit wegen der langen Federwege, aber der Quickshifter scheint genial zu sein. Wirklich smooth. Nils und Co sollten dich häufiger in der Sonne auf Testfahrt schicken👌
Schönes Review. :) Der Sound ist für Serie nicht mal zu schlecht. Würde die erste Zeit (bis es Anlagen neben dem nicht so schönen Akra gibt) gut überstehen. Gute Kameraposition, top Soundaufnahme und schöne Fahrerei, danke fürs Video! 👍😊
MoTard sorry geh mit dir einig in ein paar punkten, die Strasse ist toll und würd ich auch gerne machen, aber die Fahrerei ist irgendwie scheisse, kurven werden nicht schön ausgefahren und erst noch gefährlich, ausser die strecke wäre gesperrt im Sinne der IOM. Aber mit diesen geilen Gefährten wäre ein rundes ausfahren viel schöner und bräuchte weniger speed. Macht mir irgendwie den Eindruck, dass der erste am besten fährt oder auch einfach nur zeigen will wie schnell er kann und der rest muss dan um dranzubleiben beginnen zu schneiden und gefährlich zu fahren. Schade aber solche Jungs sind ein schreck auf der Strasse und sollten aus dem Verkehr ... sorry.
Irgendwann wirst auch du verstehen, dass man Kurven gefahrlos schneiden kann, wenn man freie Sicht nach vorne hat. Aber das hast du wahrscheinlich noch nicht begriffen, da du mit deinem Blick wohl immer noch vorm Vorderrad hängst.
@@cesiWie gesagt, irgendwann, wenn du deinen Blick vom Vorderrad gelöst hast, dann wirst du es verstehen :-) Fahrer, die nicht fähig sind, voraus zu schauen und mitzudenken, die sind in meinen Augen eine wesentlich größere Gefahr.
Wieder ein sehr schöner Clip! Danke! Diesmal Brustharnisch anstatt Helm? So mache ich es meistens auch weil ich mit Kopf kaum stillhalte :D aber hast du die Gopro aufm Bauch? Oder sind die Fussrasten so weit vorne? da sind ja deine Knie ständig im Bild!
Hey Schaaf, great vid! I’ve never ridden a supermoto. How would you say it felt compared to the duke 690 which is the closest i’ve come? If you were supposed to chose one which would you go for and why?
do you think the 2010 smc would be lacking much power compared to the newer smcr? theres one for sale here i am sort of interested in or can pay few thousand more for a smcr
@@mattdrifts Depending how hard you are pushing it, I doubt it'll be worth a few thousand more though. However, the 2010 SMC has the same rocker arm bearing prematurely wearing out issue which "plagued" the LC4 motors of that era, I suggest you Google other people's experiences to understand what type of maintenance ownership would entail. I've heard that starting on the Husqvarna 701....and the derivative SMCR which Scaaf is riding here, KTM had completely revamped the motor design, which hopefully has resolved this well documented KTM problem.
hab dich im Video von Jens schon gesehen :P Scheint ein super Bike zu sein um mal ein Stündchen die Landstraße zu verblasen. Der Quickshifter macht auch einen guten Eindruck! Muss ich probefahren!
Hey Schaaf!! Would love for you to ride the Husky 701 next and do a little comparison between the two! I'm a SuMo virgin myself but I've been dripping for either of those two lately 🤤🤤🤤
Very nice ride, Schaaf! But once you see the riding style of the rider in front of you, you can never unsee it :D leaning extremely against the bike, it looks unsafe :D
@@lubovavidea2832 pros are able to scrape their handlebars with this kind of riding style :) There's nothing unsafe about it, especially not with the kind of lean angles we were riding on the road. Actually it might be safer even because you can react quicker to hazards
Schaaf I have one question - what's the difference between the engine sound and engine noise? I ask because you entitled some clips with engine noise only and some engine sound only:) As for me engine noise occurs only when it generates sound as if you threw a bucket of screws into it:P (some Kawas, Italians etc.)
Auch die alten 690er hören sich eher schlecht an mit original Pott, wie es der Vorredner schon sagte, Remus, akra usw. Drauf und das Ding ballert richtig
@@ChainBrothers meinte die alten euro 3 Modelle, wie es bei der neuen ist weiß ich nicht. Meinte nur das der standardpott auch bei euro 3 schon eher schlecht war
Ich hab noch nie ne Sumo mit nem Quickshifter gesehen :D Crazy! Aber sieht sehr weich zum schalten aus. Macht sicherlich Spass, das ist ein richtiges gute-Laune-Gerät :)
Gefällt mir ziemlich gut das Video, auch wenn die SMC R nicht meine präferierte Motorradgattung ist. Zur Elektronik: Warum sollte auf Sicherheit verzichtet werden und auf so nützliche Features wie einen Quickshifter? Worauf m.E. aber sehr wohl verzichtet werden könnte, ist das Gewicht. Für eine Supermoto ist das Motorrad schon recht schwer, ein paar Kilo weniger würden mir gut gefallen. Viele Grüße
@@Schaaf I have one in the USA you can borrow hehe, a 2008. Dont worry it has higher pegs. Still scrapes sometimes tho on really tight turns and fast uphill turns that compress the sus more.
it uses the Husqvarna dash now?! I thought that's one thing that let the husky down in comparison to the 690, so basically theyre just different colours of the same bike now lol
Supermoto style of riding involves sliding and wheelies which electronics don't alow so it's pretty much pointless having them when everyone will just turn it off but i guess many young folks commute on it and its probably their first bike and lets be honest parents will probably pay for some of them and parents like ABS

What I think? These electronics belong on a streetbike! Which the 690SMCR is, even as a supermoto. If it were a pure trackbike then maybe all the electronics are out of place and purists can start their discussions. But imo there is no discussion about it on a streetbike.
Keep in mind any (new) bike sold in the EU, needs to have abs, otherwise it can’t be sold.
A lot of things are no longer up to ktm.
For example, a lot of people are saying the exhaust on this bike is to big, and looks ugly.
I agree completly, but the bike needs that giant exhaust system to pass euro 4. Sadly.
thanks for sharing your opinion!
The safety they provide is unmeasurable.
Looks like it pulls harder than the older model. Electronics are a very good addition, since you can always turn them off. It has bigger fuel tank and updated looks. Upshift+downshift, ABS pro, 2 stage TC, under 150 kg's, superb suspension. This is the best road going supermoto at the moment, no arguments about that one. Actually, only downgrade on this one are the clocks, no rev counter, no gear position idiator.
It's actually pretty soft and heavy. I tried one for a full day of riding at a track and on a moutain road and you can definetly get much better for a similar price (TM smr 530 being the best choise at 115 kg wet weight vs 160 and the same top hp at the wheel of 62/3, waaaaaaaay better!)
for road use it is definitely not soft
Bike is anything but soft, set up the suspension to race and it is superb. Yes, it is heavy for a tight kart but only compared to a race supermoto, otherwise it is light and agile enough to have good fun. Price is high though, 10k €, when I bought my 2015 SMCR I paid 7500€

The quick shifter sure is nice. I’d like that on my 701!

Danke!!
Nice video and beautiful road!
Where is this road?
Somewhere in Algarve
Always wondered how these bikes feel in the corners. Are they more sloppy, because of the softer/longer suspension?
nope, because it's a stiff setup. But for me it is difficult to read the feedback with long suspension travel like that
Are you based in the Algarve or was this a one-off video?
It was taken during the 690 press launch event
WIDEO!
Dream bike
I feel it's never a bad idea to have electronics in a motorcycle as long as they are reliable and can also be turned off as and when the rider feels.
true

unfortunately don't have access to one

if you're a decent minded human it is
@@Schaaf thanks for the answer
Lets see you scrape pegs on this tall bike, i dear you :D
Ohh no, they replaced the spedo with the ugly Husqy 701 one :(
Yeah:(, it should have gotten the dash from the duke
How does this compare with your 1290s with engine and suspension set the sport mode?
no comparison really. One bike is a supermoto the other a big travel enduro
Whats the difference between this KTM and the Husqvarna 701 Sumo?
As far as i can tell, the electronics package and the quick shifter + the obvious cosmetics

Supermoto style of riding involves sliding and wheelies which electronics don't alow so it's pretty much pointless having them when everyone will just turn it off but i guess many young folks commute on it and its probably their first bike and lets be honest parents will probably pay for some of them and parents like ABS
the electronics allow both wheelies and slides
@@Schaaf i know of that possibility, but isn't there also full abs and antiwheelie?
Hey Schaaf, what are your action cam settings?
