The only KTM review we need currently is one which addresses the camshaft and other critical failures on the 790 and 890 platforms... I own a KTM which luckily works fine, but I'd be hard pressed to buy any untested new design from the company with such a sh*tstorm brewing on social media.
This!
All they need to do is address it and put peoples minds at rest with an explanation and what they are going to do about it, rather than sweep it under the carpet, i'd 100 percent buy one today if they did that, but they don't seem to care. it feels like slight of hand releasing these new bikes. "Look over here at the new shiny thing" whilst like you said there's a sh*tstorm brewing.
Fair point. Maybe I can address this in a future video. I have read and seen a few comments on social media
@@Chad76Media that would be great!
But your ktm is fine
Ride it while on warranty, when the warranty expires they'll have increased displacement like twice and upgrade. Only way to feel safe on this brand
The MT09SP is over £1k cheaper, comes with everything switched on, Ohlins and Brembos. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come with as standard the one thing that all KTM’s comes with. That’s the numerous reliability issues KTM inherently have and are infamous for. 😮
Fair point. I’ll try and jump on a new Yamaha soon
this. i have the new SP on order and i can't wait for it. i also already own a KTM, and my KTM dealer tried to sell me on the 990. That's indeed a hard sell compared to the Yamaha
Neither KTM's cool factor.
@@Tenktory you’ve read to much marketing
@@Steve-motorcyclesMaybe because I ordered Duke few days ago ;) Before that I went to Yamaha dealership and was totally disappointed with MT09 appearance. I know it's priced lower but it also looks cheaper. Maybe SP version will be solution for that but it's not there yet.
Awesome! Thank you 👍
I like the video- simple, clear, hit the main points, under 10 minutes, the sit down and riding mixed, good editing, personal. Recent ktm convert (from ducati) as i picked up the 890 smt. Lovely bike but wish I tested the 990 duke before purchase
Thanks and much appreciated
Damn Chad, getting all fancy with video editing. I like it, but maybe just a tad over the top. All in all love your content, keep it up the excellent work!
Thanks I think. Should I turn it down a little?
As a guy in my mid-40s, I find it a bit much. I’d guess most of your demographic might feel the same? In my opinion, just toning it down slightly would be great, because some of the editing was cool. I love your content, though!
@@driftingfb Thanks. Just playing with the edits, up for suggestions
I want to see comparisons on road and track between the best middleweight sportsbikes now and from a decade ago. No doubt the performance has gone backwards in some ways, forwards in others. But multi cylinder supersports joy is mostly lost, and i'm not a twin guy.
Middleweight? You thinking 600cc? Or larger??
@@Chad76Media Old 600cc supersports vs everything modern thats south of 1000cc. On paper they are lighter and higher hp than most of the current crop.
@@AJTalks I will see what I can do.
Bought the 990 a month a go. I haven't test ridden a motorcycle in the Swiss Alps for a long time with that convinced must-have feeling. Rivals where 1390 SDR EVO & 2024 MT09.
Enjoy it. Thanks for watching
Hi. Really interesting review. Curious if you consider the Duke 890 R a really good wheelie bike too? Regards.
@@irf888 yeah good, but this is better
@@Chad76Media Sounds good, what are the main reasons you think it's better? The wheelie control feature? Regards.
@@irf888 wheelie control off. More torque nice fuelling
Like the video
Thanks
Most dealers are including the tech oack now , maybe because sales are a bit low.
Well I bought a 1290 Evo last year and cannot complain... hopefully it will stay this way 😂
Fingers crossed
Wish KTM would make a proper mid sized adventure bike based on the 690 enduro R.
Yeah that would be good
Another quality and enjoyable vid as always 👍🏻 loved the editing amd captions on this one, awesome! Thanks for sharing 😁🏍️👍🏻
Thanks. Hoping to add more videos this summer
@@Chad76Media looking forward to em 👍🏻👍🏻
Trying out the 990 and the Mt09 today. Got a feeling that the £2900 ptice difference may tip it the Mt09 way plus the reliability of the Mt as against some of the problems ktm seem to have with oil leaks, camshaft and bent valves. Have you ridden the Mt 09 2024 model? If so, would like ti get your opinion of it. Cheers, enjoyed your video.
Thanks. Funny enough riding the Yamaha this week. Will let you know. The previous bike was good.
Look forward to it. Cheers
I hate the extra 1000 ish dollar to unlock the quick shifter in 2024
Some like the fact they can test before they buy, some hate it
@@Chad76Mediathat’s just an excuse of an answer, why should I be glad that my bike HAS all these features but I cannot use them unless I pay? Who would want a bike that cannot be ridden at its fullest?
@@CobGeorge I agree I wouldn’t want to pay extra, but some customers prefer a cheaper bike without aids
How does the Duke compare to the street triple rs?? Price aside.. I want an honest opinion on which feels more worth it, emphasis on feels!
Triumph, lower capacity less torque more revs, possibly sportier better brakes, not as nice dash
@@Chad76Media so, ktm is more fun? Nicer to live with?
@@rns6889 ktm has more torque, more punch, wheelies etc. But Triumph still fun, just rev more, more sporty like a powerful naked sports bike
@@Chad76Media thanks for the replies 👍👍
This demo mode makes for a bad customer experience imho. You've already shelled out all of your hard earned money, and within 1500 km you have to pay up to keep what you just got.... It's such a let down.
My old Honda dealer understood this all too well, and even back in the 90's he always included the first service when buying a new bike. For the exact same reason. Customer experience. It just doesn't feel cool to shell out again for the bike you just bought already.
I can see why lots of potential buyers are frustrated.
