7:06 I hate to have to correct you Yammie but I own a gen 1 ktm 1290 superduke R I'm am a bit of a expert on it I've had it completely to bits & know everything there is to know about it & I adore it, you said it was a completely analog bike & it has no traction control or wheelie control that's not correct, it has a bosch traction control & abs system, its rudimentary in terms of what we have today but it will control the bike in wet conditions & control rear wheel spin & the anti wheelie is linked to the traction control so it has anti wheelie as well, it's not particularly good but it's there.

@@RohanSanjith Yeah, but you can't just do tuning and expect no complication ...well you can, but that involves ECU swap, this is the most practical method. The second, cheaper, is ECU reprogram/flash, by borrowing R1 data. I have a friend who did that with his Vulcan S, using Ninja data for less torque and more HP.

You forgot about the 890 SMT..😢

I've got a '19 390 Duke that I started on and just picked up a '23 690 SMC R. Love them both!

Sadly the KTM 200 DUKE will only be sold for 4 model years. Its being replaced with the NEW 2024 250 DUKE

Happy new year🎉

Original 950 LC8 and later injected 990 needed to be remembered IMO, in all versions (SD, Super ADV, SMR or Superenduro).

Love the video! ❤ but you should have mentioned the superduke 990 which was produced between 2005-2013. had a 2012 model before my current 1290. was a really good machine. Hate my self for selling it!

I was doing the dishes while watching this and man I’ve never had to rewind a video so much; so often. It sounded like a stock ticker when you started listing the Duke models lol

I wish someone explained pre 2013 models and here it is😂

Bro i own a old 373 cc motorcycle its 8 years old now and i like reduced 15kgs by little modifications. It is such a fun motorcycle i love it.

That first dukes styling is just insane

It's been a long time since you made a tier list. Think about making one, please.

@gertthesquirt3924 I don't know if the 200 is still available in some markets. In the UK we have 125 390 790 990 1390 Now there should be something in between the 390 and 790. The 390 should also lose weight. It's almost as heavy as the 790, which is the only thing that put me off buying the 390. Not a complete deal breaker but the CB300R and Herald Brute 500 weigh little over 140kg. While the Duke 390 weighs 170kg. That is the weight of a bigger bike.

I mean ktm had a 1190 rc8 disconnected but it exists

10:10 “the wange” ? 😂

Been watching that d#%m Noobie Yam. Because of him ,I was forced to bring home a new RC390 Today! Probably won't remind me of my old Yoshimura GSX-R but at 73yo it's like going to the gym! Super fun bike. Going to baby it for 600 miles. My old KTM MX bikes used to get 1 tank of gas ( 2.2 gals, or, 2 motos) then race the season. This RC makes me want to open the throttle and leave it there. Thx for the vicarious thrills. Been an enthusiast and rider since 1967. Your channel rocks Mr. Noob 😊 ✌

Need one for kawasaki too they made quite a few new models

Fun fact: the lc4 engine sparks on every revolution, so if you kick it on the wrong stroke, it can blow of the carb

I absolutely love my ktm 390 adventure. Idk where people get that KTM is questionable with reliability bc my 390 has never, ever had any issues. I also maintain it's fairly well and I don't ride it crazy hard redlining it all the time or riding it like a dirt bike off-road hitting jumps and shit lol. That probably helps but I know it can still take some abuse and keep kicking😂😂

Finally some giga Chad content

My girl said if you think your gonna buy the 1390 it's not going to happen well I Said I'll take that 1390 and your going to start thinking about what you are going to do because I'm putting My cash down and that's it period........ I'm in love with it ❤......

I love KTM's bikes. Ugly as sin, yes, but great bikes. I always prefer the Husky trim of the bikes when possible. Husky's bikes are beautiful machines. I think their "reliability" issues are overblown and I have no fear buying and using KTM bikes, unlike many other folks. I think the modern day new bikes KTM makes are really not much worse for wear than any other brand, including the Japanese. Had my 701 SM for 3 years and loved the heck out of it. Just traded it in for a new 1290 Super Adventure S couple months ago as my riding priorities and preferences have evolved and changed a bit more closely to what Yammie is also aiming for as stated in his recent video. Only got 3 rides on it before having to stash it away for winter, but looking forward so much to pulling it back out in a few months and riding the heck out of it.

yes sir

I've been looking at these bikes for a while and i keep seeing people online say that parts are expensive and the wait time for parts can also be really slow for someone in America(ME). Is this true? also I am 6.3 and I'm worried the seat height might be to short

KTM is just cool!

There is a street legal version of the RC8 tho.

Shame KTM aren't making a lightweight road going supermoto anymore. The 690 seems great but a little heavy for a supermoto. I understand why the Duke line became naked streetfighter bikes, it's more practical for a road going motorcycle, and a lot of riders will appreciate being able to put their foot down without having to slide of the seat. But no manufacturer is making a road supermoto 400-500cc. Ok, some markets still get the DRZ400sm, but the tech on that bike is over 20 years old. Plus at 140kg, people who race supermoto say it's a little too heavy for purpose. Perfectly light enough for a road bike, racers just want it down to 120kg or less. So the roughly 170kg of the 690 and 701 is super-heavyweight for supermoto.

​@TheDaemon66 if you read the full comment, you'll see the 701 mentioned. Don't know what market you're in. In Europe there's no 450 or 501 for the road anymore. The 401 isn't a supermoto anymore... there's a café racer style, and a naked off-road hybrid style. The 701 is the only new supermoto from Husqvarna available to go straight onto the road.

Loved the part where he talked about Rc8 🚶

KTM is missing a niche market here, they already have the engine, they should build a hayabusa-like hypersport tourer, just needs the chassis so no major r&d costs, can you imagine a big hypersport with the roar and grunt of a 1350cc two cyl engine?

Love my 890r even though she’s a leaky bastard. Valve cover and coolant housing started leaking literally a day after my warranty ran out.

I don’t beleive in overpaying at dealerships for motorcycles. All I can think about is what % do they make. If you have the money buy one used, could probably get a couple of them for the same price

They have a strong partnership with some really junky Chinese co Companies now and some of there engine and trans are totally junk Chinese stuff. It’s not the same company at all.
