CHAPRI RIDERS destroyed such a good brand :(

In black it really does look 🔥🔥🔥

I’ve always lusted after the KTM Big Duke, for me it’s the ultimate bike… except my 2nd gen FZ1 is about to have its 100k mi anniversary and I can’t imagine the reliability being ANYWHERE comparable to this rolling gremlin. .

I like it too. Matte black however is a problem for me, once you scratch it slightly you’re fucked

As I would say that ktm designs even after 6+ years after release will look fresh and futuristic the 2015 duke's are prime example they still look fresh today

best unboxing video ever, i really enjoyed :)

Thanks for this unboxing ;)

Your video is masterpiece as always. Manner of presenting material, humor, everything 👍

I started my KTM adventure with a '17 GT and put about 25k miles and then to a '20 GT that I put about 33k miles. It was written off and without a true Gen 3 GT, I got a '23 R Evo that I have about 4500 miles on and it is an amazing bike. If this is a hint at the '25 GT...I will go back in a heartbeat!

Nice unboxing video 🔥👍

The predator !!

Great video!

Prachtige machine ❤️‍🔥💯

You seem to be one of the first to get your hands on this bike. I've had a look at the orange one in the shop a few days ago. I can't wait for the full review, and to get your feeling about the benefits of the cam shifting technology on this torque monster. I must say, I enjoy a 1290 SAS daily, but the increase in tank capacity and the appeal of the new engine make the SDR Evo really, really appealing. But the price...

@LifeofSmokey

5 ай бұрын

EVO will be so much harder to ride as your SAS. But with the new suspension that might change a lot...we are waiting for license plates so I can ride it. This one was the first in the country by the way. And most of them come in iron racks , I got lucky this one was in a box 😅

I want more sound! Cool bike

Thanks for explaining the shift cam technology pretty interesting

That thing looks bad a** smoky. I've been waiting for this review.

Damn brother. You got it faster than pro journos 👍 lots of good upgrades. Keyless rear seat opening is awesome to see after they did it on SA. I got so tired of flipping the key every time, I drilled a hole and had a mechanical pull cable to open the darn storage under the seat. I want SDGT, but since I am currently dukeless don’t know if I can wait it out and not succumb to the temptation of getting an R again. Although they are not in the USA yet anyway.

Some even talk bad about me with brands I'm not working with yet and so on.

I'm strongly considering one of these as my next bike, looks like a good upgrade from my 636. I haven't really been vibing with inline 4s, so I'm thinking a massive twin is the move. Hopefully they aren't too expensive once they finally arrive in the states 😬

@@LifeofSmokey I also love the sound, but you really have to work hard to get to the power. Fine on twisty roads, but annoying on city streets. And the 600 body position is awful after more than 30 minutes non stop for me 😬 I knew the compromises when I bought it though.

It's a brand called Cochet , it's French. I had everything painted in black and put Brabus wheels underneath it that cost more as the trailer itself 😅🙈

next step, put a v3.0 frontlight on this ^^

I have a question, can the new head light and fins that are below to the tank fairing compatible with gen 3 1290 SDRs?

would be cool to see if i wanted to would be able to change the trans rod

I want this bike (in black) SO BAD! I'm probably going to be like, what? $25k USD poorer? Had 2020 version of the 1290 EVO, and I LOVED that bike.

Love this video because No fu****king background music...Go on bro

I have only used inline 4 cylinder Japanese bicycles before. How is the Suzuki KTM V2 engine in terms of vibration?

0:40 imagine what a repair cost that would have been if it really would have been that super dukey inside that box 😶😬and the next thing would be KTM themselves calling to uncle smokey about not opening the box peacefully 🙄🤣 and it's hard to say if im more of a cat or dog person i love both of em' 👍 it would also be really cool seeing smokey driving this 1390 beast on a track somewhere.

That's a properly evil sounding thing even with the stock exhaust

I want one of these...

Where did you get that bike trailer pls?

I can feel the power of that engine.

Smokey, there is a start automatic at the KTM models 😜

Beautiful colour is it a Matt black

Nice bike!!!!! now I want one 😢

That was a proper unboxing, not like taking a phone out of a box lol.

Hope in the future KTM inline 4
