The front light 😍😍😍😍

Great review . Best so far. Sure is refined . Ha . My Gen. 1 is getting dated ,but I still love my 16 SDR with all the performance kits.

What a great review and vids. Thank you. I suppose that headlight could grow on me, especially in person.

Thanks for the comment. Yes for sure the headlight is a lot more accepting in person compared to pictures

And it completely contradicts KTM's reasons for not producing a road-going superbike ...

The 1290R makes a mockery of it, much less the 1390. It's not faster than some of the bikes I've owned but by god it FEELS like it.

Wish velocity moto could make some full fairings for SDR.

I totally disagree. This bike gives unreal satisfaction from 0 - any speed. If you have ridden any of the v4/ 200hp bikes with less torque you don't get that satisfaction feeling until you are doing 100mph in first gear. Totally different animals. You only know this if you have been on both types of bikes......

@@LittleBigMediaCo it is directly a response to your comment. This bike is completely different from any of the 200hp race bikes out there. But your simple mind could not comprehend my comment lol

Would luv to experience that tire shredding torque.

Steering damper option?

I am not a big fan of orange. But the little frame left on the black version does not bother me any more.

Does it have a half decent steering dampener now?

That front end nervousness that was present in previous models is certainly much better. Whether that’s down to a better steering damper or the forks/overall setup we are not sure

Any idea when bikes may land in SA?

Hey bro in this day and age you don't judge for your preference........ lol To each his own.

That's 190hp at the crank In the wheel it's a very Reapected 175hp from A v twin

49cc increase ? why...in the scheme of things that is such a small amount. The 1290 I had was NOT the monster the media told me it was, I had to spend thousands getting it to mental stage...I'm going to guess that this one will be the same....sigh.

Because it’s too small - if they are going to the trouble then do it properly…we all know a 1490 is around the corner…why do we need this interim step

Plz stop with is it too much at the end of your video for the streets bc then they will start giving us watered down versions of each generations to come., having said that let people decide for themselves what they may think or may not think is too much- I know you are just trying to be helpful but why else would someone by a SD if they wanted it to be like say oh I don’t know like they were riding a Triumph Bonneville
