Honestly, that's a super-savage video and title, that only certain Kawasaki's and KTM's deserve. 😄 And, I guess you're right. Most guys buying liter class go out and check, its got 180 bhp, cool, chequebook is out and they get a progressive kind of torque curve, which they get used to nice and easy. With this bike I guess, you check its 180 bhp, you ignore the torque figure considering its another one of those liters, and therein lies the surprise... combined with the light throttle feel I guess. Instead of 100 some NM, its got some 140NM, that too at lower revs. I've read somewhere, the torque is above 110NM at any point beyond 3500 rpm. Its madness. Is even a soft compound 200 section enough to control this beast? And how did they keep it below 200 kgs in Euro5/ BS6 era? Ducati could've done it, but now even KTM did it. Amazing.

That is a super good comment. You are right. This bike is un-freaking-believable! And you can also get the ultra slick Battlax Racing R11 tyres for track use only.

Glad to know you Stacey. It is a pleasure to have your comments on my channel. Congrats on your Super Duke ownership. Ride and enjoy your bike! I Love that bike!

Gotta say that I've had one of these for 5 years now and it's one of the most docile and chill naked bikes I've ever ridden. It has so many rider aids that you really have to be in over your head to get out of control. You can even ride it around on full traction control and rain power setting and its basically like riding an expensive sv650. I agree with what you are saying about it being dangerous if the rider is inexperienced and/or they have disabled some of the safety features. That being said, with all the safety measures engaged you can hammer this bike out of corners and it will just float the front wheel. I have a lot of performance mods, weightloss mods, and lower gearing on mine and I have never had an issue where I felt like the bike was too powerful to manage with the rider aids turned to the lowest settings. If anyone buys this bike I will caution you to make sure your tires are properly inflated and warmed up before you even consider turning the riders aids off or you will very quickly end on in a ditch or worse. Hope everyone stays safe out there and continues to enjoy the best hobby in the world.

Funnily enough, your comparison to the SV650 really hits home because when I first Testrode the 1290R (more or less as a Joke) I had just gotten my license 6 months ago and was on my SV650. And I also thought "this is just a fancier version of my bike". Absolutely lovely machine that is almost telepathic. It always seems to know how you want to ride it at the moment

I'm assuming that both you gentlemen bikers don't ride your Superduke in rush hour bumper to bumper, am I right? Of course, anything is manageable with a level head, there's no denying the role of the rider. But then, things happen to the most cautious riders too, like a sudden windblast saw me pulling the throttle more, due to the pushback... it happens. But let's be honest, we're talking about as much torque and slightly lesser power than a Hayabusa, in a bike weighing about 130 pounds lesser... Barring this and some top end Ducati's and maybe the supercharged H2, what else deserves the title of insane?

@howardfreedman4289

Жыл бұрын

To Samarath, Just a little safety pointer. If being pulled back by wind or sudden acceleration make you open the throttle more, you're operating the throttle in the wrong and a very dangerous way. The throttle should not be grabbed from over the top. It should be grabbed by palm against the front and roll the wrist underneath, such that if you're thrown back for any reason, you'll be closing the throttle rather than opening it. I was taught that early in my motorcycling career. I hope it helps.

The SDR has like 100ft/lb of torque at 8500rpm while the V4S is like 80ft/lb at 11500rpm. The big bore 4 cylinders are way more forgiving and much easier to ride than big bore 2 cylinders.

@@nycrider1548 Wow! Amazing bikes! I LOVE the Vrod!

I just bought (six months ago) the 2022 Duke 890. It must be the most agile bike on the market. The amount of power that my 890 has is incredible. I weigh 260 pounds and I’m 6 foot seven and live for agile motorcycles and tight rapid cornering. I cannot imagine the 1290‘s power, I picked the 890 because it will out corner the 1290 and roll through the corners with greater agility. However, I do want to 1290. However, I will be satisfied with the baby Taz. 😅😂🎉. Note, my bike weighs 404 pounds wet and if I lose the stock muffler and cat, my research shows I will lose 19 pounds plus the additional weight of the pipe and slip on which should bring me from 404 down to about 390 pounds wet. I had a Kawasaki 300 (2cylinder) and it weighed 360 pounds. I love KTM.

You are right on every count. The 890R is plenty to deal with. And if you are going to a technical track which has fewer straights, you will outperform the 1290 with your 890 unless you are a pro of course. That said, do try the 1290 once just to feel the rawness of it.

I want to die so...this is the bike for me

🤣 bad time to mention i got rid of my 190 hp at the wheel hp speed triple 1050 rs(yes i modded the F**k out of the fueling, final drive, and manifold, i didnt however touch the motor. Go figure 😁) And ended up getting this? Im having the rottweiler intakes and full akro manifold back titanium exhaust put on her and putting a bigger sprocket on the drive crank and leaving the rear alone... Should lose 2 to 3 ft lbs of torque but it'll up the top end 5-8 mph(if not a touch more) yeah. Im that guy 🤣

It is a "Super" crazy bike. Love it too.

"You should never own this bike. Now, let me tell you why you should buy it". After 8 years and 27k miles on an RC8R which mind you has ZERO nannies, I'd say the newer superdukes are far more safe and manageable.
