Should I ask KTM for another private track session with Jeremy Mc Williams on 1390 Superduke's? 😅😅😅

Two rules for trackdays Smokey. 1: Have a blast! 2: It’s all about the pics! Well done.

the 'knobby thing' is attached via cable to your brake lever; you can use it to adjust the lever travel in case you experience some fading during the session (like an extension of the adjuster wheel of your lever towards your left hand)

Oh damn! Thank you so much 😊🙏

Well done Smokey!

New to your channel Mr. Smokey watching from Canada, I appreciate your humor and style of content, it's more relatable than some of those other too serious reviewers. I did chuckle at the way you enjoyed the 4th gear power wheelies, that's what it's all about right there. I just ordered the new 24 1390R evo, picking it up next week. Will be my first twin and KTM, 5th bike though. Keep up the good work!

Welcome aboard! And congrats on the purchase of the beast 😎👌🔥

Hell yeah Smokey, Great video, made me chuckle 😂 real fun you had!! Keep up the excellent work dude!!🤪👍🏼💨

I just wanna ride one of those beasts, just once!!!!!!! 🏍️

Yeah bro

Best 1390 video! Looks so much fun 😁

That was fantastic, what a bike..

Big thumbs up mate, was great to see your lines improving with your confidence. Knee down will come with a bit more practice and track time. Looking forward to seeing you purchase a 2024 Duke!

KTM - Wheelies in the rain? Sure why not.

WOW what a blast, Uncle Smokey on track! Great video hoss, the sound of an LC8 with Titainum exhaust is so DAMN GOOD!!! Thanks for the RIDE!!!

Good video Smokey, looked like lots of fun.

Good for you,cheers.

I believe slicks need to be in a warmer before on track. They are way harder then street tires and need to be hot before they grip more then street tires 😅 Nice video btw 😊

I predict you will be invited to every KTM road bike launch from now on. They are looking for advertising material and you give them that. Sit down wheelies, stand up wheelies, you just need to perfect backing it in and you've got the golden ticket. Nice work Smokey, you're doing awesome.

Yeah riding 3 motorcycles in 2 days not knowing what is going to happen , just knowing about the new stuff on the motorcycles 5min in advance is hard. I also don't want to become old school rambling about numbers standing next to a bike. KTM asked me to do standups , stand next to the bike and talk about it but I declined. I hate doing that and it's really boring to watch so I skipped haha. But thank you for your comment , I'm working on how to create the perfect videos for future stuff.

Jeremy really helping smokey today

Great video 👍 love the commentary 😂

Great video Smokey. Could you briefly explain how to do a burnout? Thks!

Front brake , calves against the footpegs , lean forwards , tons of gas and release the clutch as fast as possible. Easy :-).

A little slower than that….and this could seem the test of a bicycle 😂

This, the V4S or the M1000R? :)

Well with +50M views on Instagram last 2 months , over 25M on TikTok and an average of 3-4M monthly views on KZread I have become the most viewed motorcycle channel in our country and The Netherlands by accident haha. I also don't cost these motorcycle brands any money , as some journalists ask money to write articles. Also the reason why some journalists have been talking badly about me behind my back to brands....lol. I'm also riding a 1390 says the title , it's not a review haha. But fair enough tho I'm also asking myself why Brabus send me to Dubai this week. I have no idea....

Nederlandser engels word het niet he maat

Yeah I’m sure it’s all quite overwhelming but the excessive shouting that’s not relevant to feedback pertaining to the bike is a little annoying… ultimately the superduke is a monster made for monsters.

Jammer van de regen! Je begon er net in te komen. Bij mij is het omgekeerd. Geen schrik op circuit … maar wheelies? Naaaah don’t think so. Next up: Smokeywheelie_course? 🤓

wheelie assist on ducati's bike is next level compare to ktm

The constant wheelies just make you look stupid in front of the pits. Especially when on slicks and are taking corners like you’re on slicks when riding on a wet track. AKA very slow. Granted you mentioned your lack of experience and racing with slicks does take time to adapt to and have confidence in.

Guidare in silenzio ....non sei al luna park

less talking would be good lol

In Spain we say...no tienes ni p***a idea de llevar moto. Sorry, but why you go so slow?
