I raced KTM's ( MX) in the 70's. Took me to a #1 spot here in the U.S. AMA district 18. Just bought an RC390. Best handling bike i ever had! Would love a new 1390 Super Duke but think its a bit tall for me! You can buy a $150 K sports car or a $20K Super Duke if you want to go FASTER! My 390 does 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds and is the most fun you can have under 100 mph! Corners like it's on rails and cost $5500! (2023)

Great review - Really captures the essence of this awesome machine I traded a Gen III SD-R in for the Gen II SD-GT and the GT is just streets ahead on so many levels - While the SD-R III is a great ride, the GT makes it seem like a bit of a one trick pony by comparison - Main advantages: Great adjustable screen, amazing electronic suspension (preload and damping), 23l tank versus only 16l, real luggage capacity, proper pillion set-up, excellent heated grips and perhaps best it has a huge info screen that can be fully customised to read out everything you need continuously - Remarkable how different they are really - Pay the extra and get the GT for sure

Very good review. I tested one of these and it inspires confidence which makes it a lot of fun to ride for sure.

Outstanding review Chops. Big fan of your approach to reviews - honest and lots of enthusiasm👍

I was riding my gen1 GT back from Germany when you posted this. I know there's some tweaks but it's the same underlying machine and I have to agree with all your comments.

The Gen 3 suspension changes and radar may just swing it as I'd utilise both. 👍

I've had mine off the road since late august as for the first time, I am no longer an all season rider. I've put it into a shop to get all buttery smooth for the coming summer. NGL, I am buzzing and watching video's I've watched multiple times before.

Cracking nuts and bolts review as always👏Slightly off subject, but just wondered on the odd occasion you ride without the various cameras, battery rucksack and paraphernalia tercentenary, does it feel weird, like something is missing? I suppose in just becomes second nature having done it enough times😂😂😂

I have the 2018 model and the only way I would change for a newer one is if they ported the current superduke frame to it to make it sportier. (like on the 2023 stolen shots) Or if it was somehow possible to get panniers on the current superduke.

Sweet video great bike hoping to pick mine up tomorrow. I watch a ton of bike reviews based in England. Why are all the roads so dang narrow with no shoulder? It's always like they let the brush grow right up to the edge of the pavement. That would give me anxiety.

Top review Chops I've found that the fasting gets the timber off you quick Stops your bread bin rubbing on the fuel the fuel tank (Just Saying)

Now you need to test a base tuono v4 since it's more gt oriented than factory with it's taller gearing, windscreen, higher bar for more comfort, different subframe for better pillion and luggage capabilities.

I have the gen 2, at almost 10k miles, it feels much smoother on low speeds, also, 60mph on 6th gear is smoother, I believe that the engine is run in nicely now. People judge motorcycles unfairly when they have not been run in, especially with large cc engines, especially a v twin as they will take some time to bed in. I agree, its a hooligan bike and I love it. Torque galore, good mpg, nice riding position. Amazing.

10k mile full break in lol It is true though that the larger the engine the more robust all the pieces do become quite difficult for mere mortals to wear out anytime soon (except by lack of maintence type abuse) I remember my 2 stroke big bores would go forever with hardly any wear to piston and rings as opposed to small bores you could wear out pretty fast ...ust for one example

@exothermal.sprocket

Жыл бұрын

The only "bedding" happening is piston rings mating with cylinder walls, and transmission gears pressing against mating gears. You better hope nothing else is wearing in that engine. About 1200 miles is max for any additional sealing of piston rings. It's all done by then. The most that happens is the first 25 miles. The big sports Vtwins engines need more revs to smooth out, just a fact of physics and science. You shouldn't be running 6th gear until about 75-80 mph because it's geared so tall.

Gonna wait for the new version.

About to trade in an 18 Multi Pikes Peak, heading up to Abingdon premier bikes to test a SAS and SDGT in the next couple of weeks, torn between the two bikes, but need to see how much discount they would do on a 22 GT vs instead going for an older 19, or waiting for gen 3 out early next year 🤔, only concern is the early issues/kinks the gen 3 might have to start with.

Have a 2019 GT now. Also have a Ducati Pikes Peak ordered. But that PP delivery keeps getting put off. I am also watching for evidence of a V.3 GT. If the PP is dragged out any longer--I may wait to see a confirmed V.3. We ride 2-up 90% but I want to take the bags off and rip a bit after riding wifey around at sane speeds. It's down to these two. I DO think my present V.2 suspension is jouncy and I can't find the setting that lets both ends of the bike feel like they are working together. Maybe rear shock needs some sort of service. 8000 miles ain't much though.

Would i swap my 2019 model for a newer version🤔 - No! I would however, recommend the bike to anyone as its great fun, fast and so far very reliable, unlike a bike i once owned from Bologna (still want one though)

Nice review Chopsy! Apart from the GT looking like an orange toad from the front it's an awesome bike. Fortunately the 1290 R and (Evo with the bluey bits) is a more handsome pup and offers KTM magic as well. I could tour with it as well. And easy on the eye all day.

0 to 60 mph on a stock wheel base bike are generally pretty hard to do on the street.Sometimes I hear about all these 2.5 to 2.8 second 0 to 60 mph bikes which are probably legitimate but done by professional riders on drag strips.
