12,999 and they’re charging extra for the modes? NOOOOPE.
KTM will do just fine without your patronage.
Just get a second hand one, I mean you've got a valid point, but we all know KTM values drop like a stone, so deals are to be had.
Yeah. F them.
Plus its a brand new model that will likely have its teething problems which is typical of KTM... and most Euro bikes.
duke 990r in 2018 was 14850euro (I bought it for 12.400 thankgod). So with inflation and shit it isn't really that bad of a price.
this is making my 890r look positively gorgeous..
Value of my 890r will remain high!
Legit
Thought the same - don't care for the new bodywork or the Terminator headlight
Says the guy who’s going to love the new design within 6 months
890R is the better bike, lighter, smaller, equally powerful
123hp, 300mm discs with "KTM" calipers...12.999
Emotional damage 😭
That headlight reminds me of the Predator with it's mask off.
I once heard that comparison with Hope Solo's undercarriage. It can't be unseen.
I saw ultron
true 🙂
somebody in the Indian factory keeps changing the settings on the engine boring machine for a joke and KTM keep having to pump out different versions.
13k wtf ? you can get an actual super duke for 13.5k at the moment.
I was shopping for a super naked back in 2017 and it was between the SDR and the S1KR... I went with the BMW because they at least included all of the hardware that was on the bike in the price.
The 2017 s1000r had 3 packages available to purchase. Standard, sport, and premium. Very similar to the superduke and its packages. I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.
Had 2 KTM's now both brought lots of smiles but lots of issues also. A 790 duke I had for 18 months spent 5 of those months with KTM fixing various stuff under warranty. Just can't bring myself to take a chance on one again my MT09 has been faultless since new in comparison..
the 790 is built in china by cfmoto, it was always going to have issues
@@astrosimm8806no excuse tho is it, says ktm on the tin
We’ll charge CF Moto prices instead of KTM prices
Mt09 is missionary style vanilla
I had a 1290 and it had no issues and was a complete riot to ride. Better than the two MT09s I’ve owned
All I can think is how much of a pain it would be to get the bugs out of that headlight unit.
Douse it in vinegar 3 or 4 times just to get the crud loosened up, before even attempting to scrub.
@@exothermal.sprocketor just use a dedicated pre wash 😂
You would hope that KTM has the bugs worked out pre-delivery.
Knowing KTM, you'll have to pay extra for every bug collected.
@@amococ2487😂
In the marketing guff and where KTM state that riders should expect at least 300km’s of thrilling riding, I hope they mean between fill ups and not breakdowns…? Thanks for the video
KTMs make Ducati riders feel good about reliability
Someone made the comment that KTM reliability is giving their Chinese manufacturing a bad name 😅
I've ad a couple KTMs, without any issue
Don't like maintaining your motorcycle? Buy a KLR
Didnt think the duke range could get any uglier. KTM: hold my headlight
Been making the duke for years… I change my mind on the looks every couple of months 😂
It's horrible!!!!
it looks like it got its face caved in
Hard agree! All KTM bar the GP bikes are hideously ugly, wretchedly so.
Pahaha
I don't think it would live up to the old 990 siperduke , I loved mine ,proper naughty hooligan bike and few mods 150mph !!
Loving these regular uploads 👌🏻👌🏻
As much as I absolutely love my 890R, I fear the pricing is way off for this 😬 realistically its £13.8k with the tech pack (the 990R will no doubt be closer to £15k). Looking around today, whilst my 890R was serviced & I can get a brand new 1290R with tech pack for £13.8k or a 1290Evo for £14.5k (their new 890R was £10.8k with tech pack, £10k without). I know the 1290 will be 'outdated' when the 1390 comes out, but come on it's a hell of a deal & 4yr factory warranty too!
It’s kinda of ironic the more speed limits go down the more power bikes get and there’s no more boring feeling than riding fast bike slow. 890 seems like a good bike for the road. I had Ducati s2r 800 in the past and I had so much fun riding it. Replaced with a brand new street triple in 2007 and what a boring bike that was in comparison. So much better and faster for sure but so much less fun (without getting into trouble)
Absolutely.
This comes to about 16K usd, the 990 R will be 17K+ usd. 2023 Super Duke Evo's can be purchased brand new right now for exact same price as the 990.
This is before the 1390, after the 1390 is announced the 1290's will be FAR LESS than the 990 non-R.
"I can get a brand new 1290R with tech pack for £13.8k or a 1290Evo for £14.5k"
Where from? The regular price (when including the current £3K discount) is £14.9K and £16.6K respectively so I'm keen to know how you're getting those prices!
@@sambagogo777 Judd Racing - I assume it's a special due to it being winter & they want to clear some out before the 1390 comes
this model will forever be known as a flapface not a sniper
looks like something the county lines hoodies would ride for their friday night shenanigans ,
Let's hope they've addressed the build quality and reliability issues of the outgoing model (probably not)
KTM originally took off by making (almost) ready to race bikes with better reliability (+ limited warranty) than modified yz/cr/rm with almost the same price.
Now you have to pay more, have to fix the known problems before you start riding it and the "race readiness" performance has diminished by quite a lot and might be worse if you just upgrade other bikes with the amount of money you saved off from not buying ktm.
I wonder how long is this going to last.
Whaaat the hellll, just 123 BHP....i was expecting it to be somewhere around 145...🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
Hi guys, have I understood the price correctly ? 12990 £ ? Which are nearly 15K euros 😯😯😯 So if an R version should come, it would cost around 17K euros ? Are they crazy ? I was waiting for this new Duke 990 and more specifically the R version to replace my 890 R but I think I'll go for a used SuperDuke R or the new MT09 SP. What a shame KTM.
2023 SD Evo's are being sold right now (in my area) for the same price as the MSRP for the 990 Duke non-R.
Wait 'till the 1390 is announced & winter hits... They will be sold brand new, with warranty, for FAR less than the 990.
Pricing is just dumb.
Agree
remember the good old days when bike reviews involved riding a bike ? ..... i miss those days.
It’s not a review. It’s an announcement 😂😂
Absolutely love it! Wow. Looks like a dream?
Oh it’s finally back?! The Duke that started it all.
Sold my 990 from 2011 about a year ago, I'm so hyped...
Best channel on youtube srsly
I'm happy the sportiest modes are extra because my mates need them but I don't 😊
This could have been such a good looking bike if the tank+front fairing wasn’t so out of proportion to the rest
ill keep my 890 thanks, most fun, agile bike since my rgv 20 yr ago
The grey with orange highlights looks more grown up
Still looks like they haven't finished the headlight, but I don't hate it as much as I first did. I love my Superduke, but I'd still go for a Street Triple or MT-09 in this weight class.
I really like the new 990 and it's headlight. I will most likely buy the 990R when it's released. Or a 1290 SDR EVO.
Sniper's a good job mate
Very nice.
I was hoping for a 490 engine tbh.
Exactly, was just about to write predator and you got there first 😮
Everyone here complaining about the design is going to love the new design within a few months. “Oh it’s starting to grow on me…..Oh I used to hate it now I love it” I can hear it all now.
Hopefully they redesigned the exhaust header. The 890 has issues with the thermostat housing leaking. Im guessing its due to it being about 2 inches behind the hot ass header and being made out or some sort of plastic.
looks absolutely lit
Loving the quality paint finish on the frame @4:34 Did they employ the bodger from delboysgarage?
Ripple smooth???
The can welding at 4:25 was the kick in the balls; the frame finish the lethal uppercut...
I owned two 990SD and one SDR. Those had 18L of fuel and no bullshit ride modes. Only thing I really want was the old SDR with a pillion and ABS. Maybe I'm getting old. Styling is pretty much Superduke astetics which is good.
£13k and it’s not even the R model that gets the brembos and other goodies 🤯
Duke 🚀
Cheers guys
Fantastic fly, bug and muck catcher, that headlight. Happy times cleaning that sh*t out.
2024: they year of the mingers!
The Dark Side of Japang with a European Twang- The Duke 990
Overheard at the design meeting… “I asked Tobias to design the most difficult headlight to clean and he didn’t disappoint, well done! This will set us apart from other bikes.” 😆 It’s a joke lighten up. It’s exotic and I like ktm, I had the original 990.
I can't believe someone looked at the duke and went "this isn't ugly enough".
KTM's are growing on me, like the odd looks. Nice stuff gents.
Wasn't too exciting about the new headlight when the camo prototype images were released, but now it started to grow on me. Certainly looks like the head of an alien, i like it :))
I hope the clutch is lighter than the original.
first 990 was one of the best fun bikes ever made
And it didn't require a separate A.I. brain between the twist grip and the engine, to determine what it is the rider wanted.
Content rich today lads👍
In the market for a middleweight. My concern with KTM is build quality, full stop. I had a 1290 SAR that was an absolute lemon, so it soured me to the brand.
We have ST 765 RS Moto2 editions available in the US, often at below retail. I'll likely be going that route. Cheers.
Me too, my SDR 1290R was also a lemon, costing me approx £300 per month for the 12 months I had it. Before that I had a 990 SMT and the head bearing failed at under 3 months old without wheelies. I got annoyed with the 1290 and got a 390 Duke for the morning commute and for the 7 months I kept it, it would stall on every ride until it was up to temp. Most often in corners or on roundabouts. Such a shame…. After a 3 year break I got a 790 Duke and didn’t like it much (can’t explain it, snatchy and temperamental) so went back to the dealer who didn’t want it because he had a shop full he couldn’t get rid of at almost half price 🙈 I will not have another. Everyone needs to walk their own journey but there’s mine. Could’ve bought a top end bike at twice the money and been better off in the long run. Maybe…
Still makes less power than the Street Triple RS.
😂
Remember when motorcycles had a cable from the grip to the engine throttle? Remember when they were scary to ride because there wasn't bubble wrap between the rider and consequences? Yeah those were interesting times. Now we pay massive amounts of money for a strong bike, pay even more to turn on electronic nannies, and even more to remove restrictions and give us the actual power. It's like you gotta pay another 1/3 the whole motorcycle price to peel back all the layers of the engine onion and see what's actually under it.
Now manufacturers are putting traction control on 400cc bikes. WHAT KIND OF POPPYCOCK....
Manufacturers stopped innovating many years ago, and now all the technocrats have taken over the firms.
Why does KTM do this?!?!?
They did it with the 890, introducing it shortly after the 790 - not even letting it ride out some sales before pumping out the replacement. Ah well, I do love me a constant improvement.
this bike looks juicy
World needs a 990 D vs 990 SD, on and off track.
Cleaning bugs out of that headlight will be fun
Looks nice buts it's hard to get excited for a new parallel twin. I just hope KTM doesn't replace the 1290 V-twin with a parallel.
How is it vs an ~05 millie tuono?
Its a shame it is not a v-twin like the old model, - i imagine there is going to be an R version of this model just like the 890 , - it should be at least 130HP to to make a real difference between the 890 and this one.
The important question is does it have soul? Does it have character? And does the head gasket blow up?
Headlight has the look of a “wizard’s sleeve”, if you get my meaning (wink wink, nudge nudge)
Pricing is nuts. $16,000 USD. By the time we get a 990 Duke R it will be $17,000+ USD.
At that price just get the previous years Super Duke, new, for the same $.
Hell, if the 1390 gets released the 1290's will be had for LESS than the 990!
New 990 SMT in the works hopefully!
It's expensive and it has demo mode that locks buyers from accessing features on the bike lol. KTM has absolutely lost their mind if they think this is acceptable given their reliability reputation lol.
Latest Street Triple sent Yamaha and KTM back to the drawing board with new mt09 and Duke 990. We all win!
Multiple levels of wheelie control? 🧐🥳
whn i buy somerhing, i want to own it.... are there ecu flash options.... straight away...
That headlight though ...
So less powerful and more expensive than a Street Triple RS , even with all the extra CC- Nice work KTM
It’s the base duke.. not the Duke R. And way more torque than a street triple.. so you’re wrong there bud.
@@motoman1996 Which fact did I quoted that is wrong? - NONE
@@motoman1996Kyle Fisher can’t read 😅
4:16 you'd be surprised... The 890 could easily manage that whilst having fun, it's ridiculous how economic that bike is, genuinely mid 50s mpg when pushing on, 60-70mpg when just cruising about.
Was hoping for a linkage rear suspension.
is the airfilter easy to maintain ? ktm end up like vw-imperium ...pure mainstream
are the x-bow's performing better than the motorbike range 🤔
So potentially thats means a 990 adventure coming back?
Challenging aesthetics, though I think a belly pan would sort a lot of that right out. Regardless, it'll be a laugh riot to ride!
I'm confused what now classifies a bike as a middleweight, the 990 is obviously a litre bike and the Street Triple is a 750 (ok 765) but surely both can't be middleweights, are we gonna have to rate them like boxers, middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight......?
I was hoping for 150bhp when I heard it was in development, the gap between the big superdunne and the lower models is too big.
Hopefully I can swap my 890 headlight and put it on this thing
looks like the gsx-8s headlight 🤷♂
How does this compare to the street triple RS! Excluding the price factor.
I REALLY hope this means they'll also be putting out a RC 990
They are already testing one.
@@abymathew295 I heard they were a while back but you never know especially after they suddenly scrapped the 490 range.
@@MotoCarbon .. 490 was just a concept model, but the RC9 or RC990 is almost production ready..I think it will make it to the production.
@@abymathew295 Let's hope brother!
Sure I was looking forward to it but after seeing the spec on this and the cost. The rc990 is probably going to cost 16 or 17000 gbp
With these new anti-wheelie electronics, if you set it to the medium setting and just grab a bunch of throttle, is it going to hold that wheelie or just do a sudden drop? Asking for those of us that are wheelie handicapped lol.
Idk about this bike. But a lot of bikes will kind of skip the wheel. It really depends on how aggressive the wheelie control is set. Some will cut power before it ever comes up, others will cut power just as it comes up giving you a sketchy feeling skipping front wheel. I'd rather nearly loop the bike grabbing a handful of throttle with no wheelie intervention than to have it skipping the damn wheel everywhere begging for a tank slapper
@@TheAsheybabe89 I agree with the older electronics hence my question. I have a first gen 1290r and the wheelie control sucks. It abruptly cuts power and dumps the front wheel like a lead weight. With newer electronics, they have the ability to set an angle and modulate ignition and even rear brake to keep a wheelie going. Granted this may create a legal liability issue.
Hello fellas! I love you.
Will you do a review of the gsxs 1000gt please.
Don't know why but it reminds me more of the katana than it's tribute bike
Nothing merges seamlessly on that bike
What’s wrong with a Designer?
They kicked the headlight cover?
Sobre, poetic and elegant
4,7L/100km?
Are we stepping back in time?
My carbureted 2003 zx-9r (~146 hp) did that number in mixed driving!
I suspect it's down the euro 5, which I know sounds odd, but that's how emissioms work
Had a shot on the 890R last year and I was really impressed with it, I think this will be even better. That said I'm happy with my 1998 CBR 918 RRW. A little bit heavier (not much) steers super quick, more power slightly, smoother engine, is cheap to insure, looks great, has a decent fairing, sounds ace, and that's a 25 yr old motorcycle. I like this new KTM I really do, but I also like my CBR and it was paid for years ago. These software upgrades, you don't need them you don't.... they're selling them to you and it's money for old rope, but you feel pressurised into buying them because it affects your resale value, and that grips my sh*t a lot. That said if I was feeling flush I'd deffo take this over the 1290 though, I think it's the better bike, that's just me though, the 1290 will always sell more because willy waving is a thing.
And wjere is it made ?
Been eyeing the 890R for about a year, almost getting to the point of pushing the button - but i just cant help shake the feeling it'll be a mistake; what with all the reliability/quality issues they seems to have. Maybe the 990 will crack it?
It's highly unlikely but one may never know.
They haven't even finished the headlight... I wouldn't expect reliability out of this "prototype looking" bike 😅(coming from a guy who painfully owned 2 duke 890R)
@@steph1792 Why did you get a second?
990 will likely have even more reliability issues, newer bike = newer emission standards = bike dont work
@@ronaldoleon48 I ask myself this question everyday 😂
Honestly when it work it's one of the best bike for the road. I guess somehow I forgot the "when it work" part 😅 (at the dealership since September, camshaft issue)
Can I get a RC690 or RC990? I love my duke but want some fairings.
The price is insane.. i got my 2022 mt10 for 14.750€ . 165hp 1000cc brand new and they almost make a 990 locked all extras ktm almost same price? Insane
Any idea where my sticker is located? Paid for it in Sept but no sticker and no reply from u guys
Looks like they replaced the stickers with decals under the lacquer - won't look like a child's toy anymore.
Cheers geezers, will defo book a test ride, but will never part wiv my 990SDR #oldgit
I wonder if the modes can be hacked?!
Good luck washing bugs out from this new headlight👍🤭
