I went to the doctor for severe depression.. he prescribed a Superduke R. Hopefully insurance covers the cost..

Finally rode my mates 2020 super duke r and I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be so good even after watching a lot of bloggers saying how good it was. Engine pulls from everywhere and that front wheel lifts all the time. You can ride it sensibly if you have the willpower. 2020 one is a Smooth bike. . It’s crazy fun!!

Chopsey, I must say, I've become a fan. Starting watching your friends Bruce and Andy and found you. Love your enthusiasm on these reviews!

I got a 2020 SUPERDUKE R, and everything you just said is on point, I love my bike and am glad to have one in my garage.

Bike sounds great, love the thought of a hyper naked, although my Street triple rs is enough at the moment even that 765 unit can turn you into a right hooligan. Cheers Choppsy

Great review of real-world riding, many thanks for doing this

I took my 1290 superadventure in for a service today and they had one of these in the waiting area, couldn't believe how small it was, I will have to try one some day 😁

Worst thing about the super duke R is that KTM puts all the quickshifter hardware on every bike but STILL has the balls to charge you for a key to unlock their use. Absolute bollocks, IMO.

I purchased 2020 1290R the only good thing that KTM did was they included the quick shifter with the "Teck Pac" at $899. plus taxes here in Canada. I tested the Tuono then the 1290R , couple of Saturdays ago come Monday I wanted the 1290R the only problem was they only had it in black. The salesman told me I can give you the Tuono right now available the 2019,for same price. No told him, I was to receive the 1290R this past Friday, still no bike! Now he's saying this coming Thursday or Friday for sure, never had such aggravation on the purchase on new motorcycle, sure hope it's worth it?

Great review .. I will be sticking with my 2018 tuono fac for now but may well way change to one of these in 12 months or so.

Great review as always Chops 👍🙂. This bike seems like the dog's goolies. Supernakeds nowadays are so advanced and outrageously fast it's amazing. I would love to own most of them if money was no object. Lol

Oof! That metallic blue and orange colour scheme 😍

I knew you'd love it. FYI - You may have a faulty bike. The left switch gear is illuminated, and offers 4 settings...Off, Dark, Medium and Bright. It also tells you on the bottom of the screen if the Anti-Wheelie is off or on. "AWM OFF". I've had mine for about 3 months and I average 42 MPG and 150 miles per tank with a very heavy throttle hand. Only bad thing about the new SDR (and all KTMs) is the KTM My Ride app that pairs your phone with the bike so you can view Nav, music and phone calls on the screen is crap. I can't even pair my phone with the bike

Loving your content at the moment Chops, just bought a 2020 SDR myself, absolutely awesome machine, I'm looking forward to your ZH2 and V4SF in-depth reviews.

Was going to order this bike but didn't because of all the reliability issues and bad warranty cases with dealers! Went with a speed triple RS instead because I can trust it and build quality is better too

Great vid & bike. I absolutely love it. It's my favourite super naked by a mile.

Great video, as they all are, one even better than the next! I noticed how often you used the clutch while riding at speeds that quick shifting should have been no problem. Just wondering...also wondering about Bellissimo in "Austrian"??

I gave this a 'thumbs up' before I even watched it as I find Mr LCR's video's very entertaining. Your enthusiasm is pretty obvious for this SDR. I'm in the market for my new bike at the moment and this was on the list but I just can't get over the looks of it. My other options are Ducati Monster S or the Triumph Speed Triple RS (I did toy with the idea of the new Ducati V4 but it's just too much money - £4K for a road legal Akra? Madness!!)

I think the Monster/Speed Triple will suit my style of riding more.

Will go for the GT version with all improvements and short tour/pillion ability next year. It's a trick: "I bough this (Superduke) Grand Tourer--for US, dear......". I think that will be a heckuva do-it-all bike.

While i was waiting for my MT09 getting serviced the dealer gave me the keys to take the 890 Duke out for a ride and when i got back he gave me the key fob for the new Super duke R and said try this now haha both are brilliant bikes but wow the Superduke is a special machine i was sad to take it back such a nice bike to ride

Can I add rain mode is a good way to pot around. Still enough power to overtake etc just a smoother throttle.

Fantastic video this, ty alot man :) this KTM rocks so dam hard too

Hi Gary, glad you agree and your route sounds incredible! Enjoy the bike matey you lucky devil!

Awesome video mate what a beast. Will say tho showing your speed is not a good idea.

I mean with the rider aids nothing is too much for the road. Look at the new S1K and Fireblade....Best thing about a V-Twin is you can lug it, best road bike ever. My wife likes to ride with me so I opted for the SAS but its basically the same engine with a more comfortable platform. The Super Duke GT too hard to locate here in the US, but I love the SAS!

I went from an Aprilia Tuono factory v4 1100 to an MT-10, because i couldn't go slow on the ape, yam is more comfortable riding position and i can go slow and look at the scenery lol, madness on tap, yam engine has more character also.

Great review Chops 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

9-axis IMU... for when your bike is so powerful, it adds dimensions to the universe.

It says if antiwheelie is off in bottom part of the display. Also what ABS mode you are. Anti wheelie is always on in sport, street and rain mode.

Hey just a couple things. the anti wheelie mode is indicated in perf mode, you will see "AWM: OFF" in the lower section of TFT, similarly for whole traction control also (MTC). Night mode is able to be set always on from somewhere in the menu too

@LambChopRides

Yes true 👍

If you want night mode all the time you could find the light sensor for the screen and put a bit of tape over it, I want this bike badly. Went to the dealer and sat on one today but turned down a test ride as I haven't the money yet and I don't want to tease myself 😂

Anything probably beyond the original CB500 is probably too much for the road, or more acurately, more then anyone actually 'needs' for the road. It's a sad day we sold the CB500S. Keep Tightening (it) Mate.

I’ve just ordered a 2021 Superduke R. The switchgear is definitely illuminated here in Australia. I refused to pay for the quick shifter, the dealer didn’t charge me for it. Happy Days.

Get review as always! One thing you haven’t really mentioned was the build quality and ergos. I’ve had my gen 2 since it came out and I rode the new gen 3 recently - few things that instantly really stood out to me with a back to back ride was that the new bike definitely has more sporty ergos - the pegs are higher and you’re cantered over the front more, the build quality is a step above the old bike and it feels a bit more torquey in the middle of the rev range and thats comparing to my 2.0 with the full Akraprovic and race map. The new bikes such a great machine and ‘fixes’ all the flaws of the old bike - especially if you come from superbikes and are looking for something still sporty - the old bike has a more Supermoto position which some people may prefer. I’m really torn between trading my gen 2 in for this or the Tuono V4 factory (as the Tuono deals are so good and you’re getting a hell of a lot of bike for a lot less) - I’m just worried I’ll regret not having some variety and changing to a different engine (yum v4) / manufacturer for another 3 years if I get another SDR....

Great review Chops!

I don’t blame KTM for charging for the various electronic packs. It makes the bike cheaper and an easy upgrade route if a buyer cannot afford the extra. The packs cost seem reasonable to me. The people complaining probably are not buyers. The bike is good value with or without the performance packs

By the sound of things, i can see a blown Kawa for sale on Ebay soon....

Thinking of going back to a Naked Bike at the end of this year so hopefully by then we may have a new MT10, S1000R out too as both of which seem to have fallen behind now and need a next level upgrade IMHO.

Adding my two pence. I had a gen2 1290 SDR and my opinion on the 1290 SDR is it is too much for the road. Yes it will go slow but who wants to go slow all the time. As a road bike to have fun on, the 1290 is to fast. I've now got a Duke 790 and love it. You can rag the 790, get it to pop, bang, burble, all well within life's tolerances. With the 1290 SDR, that's just not possible, it will hurt you, or get you locked up. I loved my 1290 SDR, but I love my Duke 790 more. Plus, you get track pack, quick shifter, auto blipper blah blah blah, all for free. Mind if you're over 6ft, the 790 is a small bike. Oh, did I say I have a 1290 SAS too 😉

Would you rather have this or the GT? I know they're different but I can't decide what I want. I'm a big guy so I think the GT would fit me more but the R seems like it would be more fun

Just bought myself the same bike, was wondering what Mount type you used from the ultimate add-ons site as they have a case that fits my phone. Cheers!

Last comment I promise- the 2021 SDR will only be a Generational Improvement IF KTM uses the RC16 v4... that is why I considered the 2020 an off year so no real upgrade only KTM bravely and successfully contending with more restricive Emissions Regs, a daunting undertaking for what will most likely be a very low volume sales year due to covid. The truly Generational Icon was the Gen1 SDR with the Gen2 refinements in digital dash, software and lighting lighting making the Gen2 so Iconic looking and performing. Gen3 not so much really. ok I ll shut up now and wait for my rc16 sdr.
