Had tons of fun with the new BEAST. Really feels easy to tame it but the biggest thing what I felt it is really easy to have fun with it . Layes amazing in the corners, smooth wheelies, specially when you switch to the RAIN mode (recommend if you want to practice wheelies) amazing brakes etc. Hats off to the whole KTM team that was part of creating that new bike :D
I absolutely love mine. Got it almost a year ago now. I had lots of premium bikes and rode a lot of premium bikes, this one is absolutely the best for sporty street riding. The engine is phenomenal, clutch and gear box action is precise. Quick shifter works well. Sounds awesome, comfortable, yet pegs and upper body positioned such that you can hang off and go through corners aggressively. Seat is awesome, tank shape is great to have proper support when hanging off. Ability to change to race shift pattern is freaking awesome and on a stock rear set. Design is on point, I get asked about the bike at every stop I make. It pulls wheelies like nothing else. Suspension is very good too and I love how changing it changes behavior. Some of the minor things that can improved upon: I do not use 6th gear at all, the engine does not have great harmonics in it at any speed, it is way too long, I guess it is made this way for top speed on track, luckily 5th is amazing. Indicator switch is vague. Stock steering dampener lacks adjustability for advanced riders. I had to put a power part dampener for stability reasons. Overall this bike made me KTM fan, it is really 9.5/10 bike and I am even considering buying the new 2021 Super Adventure R, which has the same engine.. it is that good folks.
I bought this bike mid june and its just incredible can't find the words honestly the feeling of instant torque is just addictive and can't get enough of it you ktm nailed it !!!
Bought one in June and still love it . The superduke may not have the headline bhp stats but on the roads that instant torque rules. Also the feel and confidence the chassis gives makes you feel like Rossi. This is my second superduke and the reliability on both has been perfect in over 10 thousand miles and for a 1301 cc engine really good gas mileage at around 120 miles to a full tank at naughty speeds. Bravo KTM.
i am such a huge fan of it. but only in 125 segment . because i cant affort it even its 125 or 1290 beast. but ktm duke is the ultimate naked bike in all over the world which i love. I pray for it some day i can affort ktm 125 eu edition .. but it will be my dream . THANK YOU KTM AT LEAST U GAVE ME A DREAM.
Dear Ktm, Suggestions for KTM DUKE 390 & KTM RC 390. Kindly install or fit :- Front tyre size - 120/70 - 17' Rear tyre size - 160/60 - 17' Dual disc brakes to Front Tyre. Dual Cylinder Engine. Reduce Engine heat. Make sure - Stock tyre should be Metzler or Michelin Pilot Series.. Gears should be more smooth.. In KTM DUKE 390 and KTM RC 390.
As a 2018 owner, I was thinking of getting the 2020 until I read the fuel capacity has been reduced from the previous version. This is a big problem for my commute to work. Hopefully KTM can add that capacity back in in a future version. Until then, won't upgrade.
like u said bro it may look similar Ktm made kind of old old with new a lil bit but this bike is awesome i have try it crazy wheelings in Paris... If u got an older 2.0 with upgrades it's kind of the same to this one stock... with love from Paris...
Wish you could help me with my Duke. Defective upon release. Bought it Oct 15,2020 and until now i havent gotten the replacement part. Cant use the bike properly. No dashboard display at all.
I just bought this bike...I've been riding over 30 years...this bike wants to rip your arms off the torque is AMAZING!!! WELL DONE KTM YOU GUYS NAILED IT ON THIS BIKE I FUCKING LOVE THIS BIKE!!! ✊🤣🤘
I have the 2019 model. When entering corners I feel like I really need to push the bike down into the corner to make it. It doesn't seem to flow, so i'm thinking it could be suspension being to stiff or just error on my part as i've only previously been on a 700.
KTM Rules. I'm a motorcross Head🤯 BUT I Wood lke 2 Ride the Big Badass Beast. In 99 I Twicked a Buell S1 Lighting. 20 yrs ago it was badass. Thts wht the Beast reminds me of.
Great bike no doubt. However it's more of a track weapon now. Am sad about the more aggressive ride position (I understand am in the minority here) - luckily I found a 2019!!!!
@@geraldperry7779 If I were you I would just try a heavier fork oil in the steering damper. It helped a lot for me on a different bike with a nearly useless OEM steering damper.
Does the new KTM 1290 have an oil life monitor sensor to tell me when the oil and filter needs changing and cruise control? Would be really nice if I can blue tooth my phone to the bike and download the ktm app and have the ability to create my own custom dashboard to have the information I want displayed and not stuff I don't care about. Information like, Engine temps, oil pressure, speed, revs, fuel, oil temperature, front and rear tire pressures and more because that's important stuff that you need to keep an eye on at all times. Also the throttle bodies need to be made out of aluminum and not garbage plastic and the rear rim looks crap and needs to look better also the exhaust is massive and looks ugly and should come from the factory with an aftermarket exhaust because that will be the first mod I do upon buying the bike because it just looks that bad.

@@xzistpo SF V4S isn't tuned. It only has a different exhaust. it comes stock from factory.
I prefer this bike over the Streetfighter V4S, because you don't need to rev the beast so much to have a amazing acceleration
I love the sf v4, thats the thing for me, u have to to something.
I don't like the price of the ducati it's a hell of a lot more money
Much better value the ktm beautiful by love it

You suggest I go to the nearest dealer for a test ride....but neither dealer near me has ANY 890 Dukes or 1290 Super Dukes in stock.
The best and the beast motorcylce. I wish i have it someday
The beast needs more power ! competition is catching up if not faster ! 2.0 owner here
It's as fast ZX14R up to 130 mph.
What competition? How many other street nakeds have 140NMs of torque?
@@varunchopra1455 How many naked bikes put out 220hp(235hp with race exhaust) stock? Streetfighter V4s 130Nm and 178kg, Duke R 142nm/200kg 👍🏼
