99,93 % of your description was correct 👌 Note, horsepower is always the first number mentioned, but like cars, it's about pulling power, right? The Ducati has 121 nm torque, a GSA1200 from 2010 had 120 nm torque 🤔 yeaah I'm still bmw fan 🤭

I have tried looking for your ktm model, but unsuccessful, has It been wrapped, that scheme looks awesome!

Great video!!… I went with SAR and didn’t regret it for a second, Multistrada is amazing bike but SAR is a monster!!!

I appreciate the reviews, looking at a new V4 tomorrow.

I have a multistrada 950S. I love the ducatis but in this comparation I think the mts is outmatched. LC8 is perhaps the best engine ever in the motorcycle industry. The SAR designs is different and I love the alien look. It have all the eletronic gadgets you need. And at then of the day the price difference, and everything that comes with it (ducati premium price in everything) breaks the deal

This is only channel that puts up intriguing bikes against each other. Top brands like KTM vs Ducati. I live in Javea, Spain and fortunate to own a 2022 KTM SAS in all black with SC-Project exhaust and is savage and 2023 Ducati Multistrada PP. The KTM is Max Max brass knuckles Dakar fighter whereas the Ducati is that Mafia hitman Italian with refinement and a Valentino full piece suit. Both incredible, both unlike the other. I still intend to get that black Rally. That brushed aluminium tank. 🔥

Good job! Well said!

Great video! Just found your channel when surfing for info between these 2 bikes. I have an KTM 1290 Super Adventure S but test rode a Rally today for about an hour and a half. Not really enough time to get a good impression. So, I have a question for you! Regarding alpine roads, would you still go for the Rally now, 1 year later?

Way to go Smokey! Great video and mostly objective comparison. Humor is your hallmark, keep it up.

I like how you cut the Greta emissions part…😂 Brilliant!!! Excellent review. I reckon you have the best moto channel 🎉

Thanks bro. I love KTM even more🤙🏻 Stay safe

One HUGE issue at least in USA on KTM is the horrible offset rear valve stem with tpms. Tpms sensors leak, when your actually offroad for multiple days carrying camping gear you don't have another 27 lbs for a offset tube.....in 41 dealers, across 11 states all motorcycle shops and dealers said "we never stock offset tubes".....so does the Ducati have offset rear valve stem? If not then it offers an advantage offroad as the KTM is not field serviceable.

I feel that the better comparison would have been the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S. Both more roadfocussed.

Yes but have you seen how Ducati advertised this motorcycle? They used offroad videos also. Can't take the SAS as a comparison as it does not have a descent skid plate or wired wheels for crazy offroad bonanza 😁. But when it comes to electronics and suspension yes then it would be the S for sure. 😎

I did have the 2022 1290 SAS and I did test rode the V4s. And if I had a choice I would pick the KTM because I like the engine concept more then V4. Both are amazing bikes.

Hello Smokey,je garde sans hésiter ma 1290 ADV R 2023 😅😍

KTM forever my dear, Ducati is “passione and many visitis to dealer” i know that many had problems with some of the KTM SAR, but i would like to speak as per my experience. 36.000 kms and no issues - just a smile in my face 😎

Cool that you've got these bikes together and covered some of the interesting bits. However, I found it dull with you just reading out all those specs, especially where so many are irrelevant or could quickly be summarised as "the same" (7mm is not 7cm!). Constructively, I would suggest you apply your passion as demonstrated for gloveboxes (totally valid!) to include other aspects of the bikes that also make a difference to ownership and riding. Like how much better the Ducati configurability is (DRLs, per-mode customisation etc) or how much better the KTM steering lock is (short press and hold at any time to lock, vs ... well ... just try doing that on the Ducati). Differences between CCs, controls, mirrors. Actively seek out stuff that's different between the two bikes and isn't listed on manufacturer websites. Maybe you need to spend some more quality time with the bike(s) before rushing out a comparison? BTW the centrestand lift is massively affected by the state that you leave the rear shock preload in - e.g. if you used the drop mode before parking. Try setting highest preload first.

It's just that damn price ... Asked the local dealer for an identically equipped Ducati Rally with Alu panniers, crash bar, Akrapovic, etc, to my 3 year old shiny new looking 1250 GSA with Akrapovic and a plethora of aftermarket stuff (like Denali lights, sound bomb, brake-lights, heated seats, touring screen, etc., etc. etc.) and the price I'd need to pay on top is more than they would trade my BMW in for 😲😲😲 ... Makes the Ducati just inaccessible and the swap to be the dumbest move. But i do love that Rally especially after having tested it!. Soo, in a nutshell, the Rally is: as a bike 10/10; value for money: 0/10

Yep sold the GT , the SAR is the same engine as the GT but likes to ride slow also without behaving naughty. The GT is an R with fenders. Very aggressive riding style , the SAR is a Cadillac with the same overpowered engine 😌

I love the ducati.. But the ktm looks so badass. Quite hard to choose. Desmo costs €1200. What does the big maintenance cost for the ktm?

Which would you take on a 4000 mile road trip? I guess it’s technically 8000 cause I’d have to ride home. Indiana to Alaska and back. More considering reliability and maintenance, ease of service in case something does happen. I’m sure the Ducati will probably be more comfortable but will it break down on me or leave me stranded vs the ktm. I guess you could throw the bmw GS into the equation as well.

does a 1290 sar behave totally normal with 21 inch wheels. I found a great deal on one and want to buy it. My main focus is roadfocused and start offroading later on. Just want to make sure the 1290 sar will still perform perfectly on road.

I'm sorry but even in the intro, you introducing the new Ducati and the KTM, the Ducati's name just sounded, well, limp (I was going to use a different expression but I realised it is not politically correct so I changed my mind). KTM for me on name alone 💪🤙👊

😂 That Italian is nice with that v4 … but 1290r for me thanks 🍻

The Ducati is like a fun wet dream. If you can… go take the Ducati for a ride, your hair will burst into flame!!! 🔥

The KTM 1290 SAR any day. You can take it on road and off-road, it's cheaper and more reliable than anything Italian. Also, in my humble opinion, the KTM looks way better. The last thing I wanted to point out is that KTM has a rally pedigree and that cannot be beaten by any other maker, they just know what they are doing. I've only had the KTM 1290 SAR for a few months after trying a few other bikes including the BWM 1290 GS, and the KTM is just a better motorbike, especially if you are planning to go off-road a lot. Check out Chris Birch on KZread and you can see the guy taking the motorbike to some crazy terrains, this bike, for its size and power, can take a lot of beating. Love the bike and unless KTM makes a better version of this, I will never replace it. Good stuff and love your channel/s.
