Thank you for this wonderful take on the 890's. I, (a female rider), test rode both of the 890's yesterday and knew I would prefer the R, even though it's a little taller. I'm 5'9", so I'm good on the balls of my feet on the R. The extra's just seem worth it to me.
I really like your honesty. I own a 890 Duke R, am super happy with it and got a 890 Duke for a testride, because I was just interested in experience the difference between them. I did not like the 890 Duke and gave it back really quick. Never seen or read a review which was comparing these two models which came to the same result, except your one! Thanks!
@@marek19922209 Two reasons made the major difference for me. The first thing is the seating position. The whole ergonomics feel more sporty on the R. When I ride my 890 Duke R I just feel like I am riding a serious motorcycle. In detail, I prefer the seating position of the R for following reasons. The footrests are higher and placed a bit further back to the rear, I also bought the factory footrests and placed it even more higher. They work very fine for me, also the look stunning. The handlebar on the R is flatter so you have to lean more forward, also the whole seat feels slightly higher. This is giving me a better feeling for the front wheel. In general, the ergonomics are just noticeably more sporty. The second thing, which is the more important for me, is the front brake. The brake on the R is stunning, the brake on the normal version is just doing the job without scaring you. I feel almost the same joy while braking when accelerating when riding my bike, because the brakes of the 890 Duke R are really great. So you just can say, if you like sporty motorcycles, you probably go better with the R, if you don’t need the sporty feeling you go perfectly with the normal version. It is just a matter of taste in my option. I am sorry, but I have never experienced the BMW F900R and I don’t want to tell anything which is maybe not true. I have read about it, that it is not a very sporty motorcycle, but as said, I don’t was to tell anything which is just based only on a review I’ve read.
i have the 2022 orange 890 and i love it! i don’t race and i’m not always an aggressive rider. so i don’t need the r. there’s not much difference between the r and the standard.
It seems odd that KTM would discontinue such a beloved bike just to go back to the 790 Duke as a budget entry level and bring out this new 990 Duke. The 990 has some big shoes to fill. For me it's just getting too big. I guess I'll shop for 790's or a second hand 890 when I am due to upgrade from the 390.
I'm looking to transition from my 765 R to something like the 890 Duke. The 765R doesn't have all the power or suspension/brakes of the 765RS but I've never ridden the RS and never felt like I'm missing out because I'm rarely pushing the bike (or myself) past what is safe for the streets. I feel like an 890 Duke would be fine as a daily rider as luggage can be fitted, but for those people who are solely looking for a weekend toy and maybe come from bikes like the 765RS or similar, the 890 R package might be for them? However, for me, the cash savings means I can get some crash protection, get some luggage and bits that I'll need for practicality and still have a bike that's fun enough for me on a ride through twisties.
8:20 those who are offended by being called a short rider instead of less verticlay blessed simply dont belong on this bike...may i suggest a Honda grom for those 😁by the way,i AM a shorty;1m 63cm and have no trouble whatsoever being called that way and also have no problem riding my 890duke...it's the differance between real men and snowflakes i guess...
Since I’ve only ridden a handful of bikes, I don’t have much to compare my standard 890 to. That said-I still really, really enjoy my 890. Great review, sir! Ride safe!
I'm gonna say you have gotten a bike that is not anywhere close to what that bike here in the States is! I just picked one up this last WED and It's a little beast and has none of the complaints you have. Very unfair to say it's not as good as the R when you know they aren't for the same purpose. Usually, you have an awesome review...Not this time! IMO. Flat out misleading! People, go ride one for yourselves.
Yes, the super Duke is little too much for the street as are many large capacity street bikes. I raced professional motocross 125 cc and open class. Where you could open up use full throttle and all 6 speeds with 125cc , the open class you could not use the full potential off the 450 cc engine. Street limits the full power vs a race track. I bet the 125cc developed faster track times than the 450 cc class.
Great review always unbiased I’m so disappointed they stopped the 790 I would have got that. This bike sees me thinking I’m closer to 1000cc which I hate 🥺but overall if this is replacement then KTM is still welcoming me in. F900R has my attention though 😩
I could not agree more , save some more for the R , I own the 890R and spent a lot more money on it : all plastic replaced by carbon , Tech-pack , powerparts footpegs , triple clamp , wave brake disks , all cnc parts , ceramic wheel bearings , lithium battery , flyscreen ect.... for the money I had easy a Super Duke but the Duke 890R is such a good bike and with the mods I made it's a SUPER SCALPEL BEAST 🤪🤪🤪
2023 all has changed, right? I mean it appears (at least for the US) the "std " 890 is gone, being replaced by the re-release of the 790 Duke at a much lower price point - $9,199 +$750 shipping. The only 890 available now is the 890 R version at $12,949 plus $750 shipping. Once you throw on sales tax and the usual other fees, this 890 R is in or close to the low end liter bike's prices: GSX-S1000 ($11,499 plus $590.00 shipping/surcharge), CB1000 ($12,999 plus $775.00 shipping/surcharge), 1000SX ($13,199 plus no additional shipping/surcharge?). Now, none of these liter bikes comes with superbike power but between 140 plus to 150hp, not sure I'd want to play for pink slips with anyone (good rider) riding one of these, especially the GS and CB. jus sayin......and having said that, I'm looking at a used 2020 790 bc the new 900s, even in standard trim, have become too expensive for a one bike owner, at least for me.
But I want the black out version the frikken R is white and looks like a hip hop seagull thanks to the white shrikes and their bolts at the back of them (eyes and beak) lol
Ones an R and ones a standard, why are you surprised they're different?. I don't ever plan to track my 890 so the standard and now especially the GP version is the one I bought... and its awesome...
I have the 890 adventure R and the 890 duke… that combo fills all the gaps and I get to ride literally anywhere. Both are such a joy to ride and I have so much fun on both…
yeah wow i didnt even notice that much difference between all the 890 models til today.......my dealer has the base version on the floor and would probably deal on the bike.....don't care about the motor as much as the brakes and adjustable suspension......the GP is $500 more than standard but don't really see what you get for it......for $1000 more i suppose its worth brakes, motor, suspension, etc. but you still have to pay for quick shifter tuono 660 is at same delership and is looking sweeter with quickshifter add on and cruise control........cheaper overall price and better financing rates......havent sat on MT 09 yet.... odd thing is 390 duke is $5799 and standard 890 duke is $11, 399 and sat on both right next to each other.....so its basically $5700 for 500cc of motor for 890 which sounds strange given you can buy another duke 390 for that much.....dirt bike prices are so much higher than street bikes with far less power and sophistication..... seems not much continuity in motorcycle world.......MT 09 is great value
I like both the 1290R and 890R I don't think you can go wrong with either. It's all about what you want and what you're willing to pay to achieve that.
Love the SMC, got a review of the 701SM Husky (same thing) coming up in the next week or so. Exceptional bike, if you live in an area where you're surrounded by such genuinely tight roads then yes, it's worth serious consideration. Or living in a city where the hairpins are around buildings instead of boulders. Otherwise it's an ideal second bike, but you need NOT to have any distance or pillion work on your riding horizon for it to be a first bike.
@@tenglin3584 hey, you are going to enjoy the ride...I am looking forward to riding as soon as the salt gets washed away. The electronics are great...I like not being able to get to far out of control. Anti wheeli, tire slip. Unlock track mode...it will unleash the beast.

Here in the Philippines we just get the 790 Duke. Have been lusting after the 890R, but apparently, since they assemble the 790 here, we won't be getting the 890 at all. So MT09 it'll have to be then. Shame....
Do you guys get 690 smc r? That would be a weapon in the philippines. Ive got one here in australia. 110km speed limits and strict laws so thr 690 is good enough.
690 is a genuine option, but the new MT-09 is a genuinely good bike. I'm tempted to say it's a street 'great' but I just haven't spent enough time with it.
Hi! I would buy it to make my every day commmute more fun. But people keep talking about it beeing a choice for a second bike. Is it too agressive and uncomfortable for commuting (10min backroads + 15min motorway + 5 min city), and should I get the more allround 'flexible' MT09? Or should I go with the standard version? Or should I just buy the R and just slap some other tires on for winter? GREAT review by the way!
I am (or was) an experienced rider of big heavy naked streets (last one was a ZRX1200R), who hasn't been on a bike for the last 12 years. I'm looking for a go-to-work, daily, but fun to ride bike that's light and nimble (for once) and was looking initially at the Duke 390 which is in my budget, but all this talking about it being a learner's bike made me fear of getting bored of it soon and made me think of stretching that budget to the limit (4 year financing plan) for the 890 (about 12000€ here), I really can't go the extra +2000€ for the R. The thing is, that after this video I just wonder if the Yamaha mt-09 (at 10000€) is, at the end, as fun as the basic 890 or, to put it another way, if the basic 890 worth the 2000€ difference from the MT09. I'm buffled, I can't change my bike every year or two (more like every 4-5) and at 51, i'm not even sure if there will be a next bike like this (maybe i'll start looking at cruisers then😄 )
Hi There, Im normal rider, commuter, no track days, just cruising the roads. Which version will be better for me? do I need brembos? Adjustable fork etc.... will that be safer for riding? i dont need attacking laps...
You're spot on in the comparison between the 890R and the standard 890, unfortunately I'm a short arse who can just about stretch the standard model but can't even tiptoe the R, surely in these hi tech days you'd think it wouldn't be beyond manufacturers to make bikes accessible to vertically challenged men and the majority of women.
Apart from few electrical issues, New KTM bikes are very reliable machines...If you havent riden a KTM in your life its really bad...Test a 890R or 1290 SDR, trust me they are the most funnest bike out there...
@@abymathew295 Never is a BIG word splodge. Great bikes, reliability for many is faultless. Every manufacturer has issues, every machine does, everything made by human hand or robot does too. More important is how the brand deals with any issues, and in my own experience KTM has always been good in that respect. No doubt some will argue with that as well, but as the truism goes: You can't please all of the people all of the time...
As the proud and extremely pleased owner of an 890R, thank you sir! One always likes to have one's decisions reaffirmed. 😎👍
Yeah, great bike, nearly bought one myself during the last couple of weeks but travel and my natural Yorkshireness got in the way. Next year.
Fun review! I have this exact bike. I never rode the R, so I’m quite satisfied with the package. Great review as always!!!

Great review Matt.
Thanking you, very kind.
I believe KTM makes the two most fun bikes you can ride on the road: This Duke R and the SMC 690R. I have both. I'd be torn to get rid of one of them.
I have the 890R and yes it's phenominal
I have the 890 adventure R and the 890 duke… that combo fills all the gaps and I get to ride literally anywhere. Both are such a joy to ride and I have so much fun on both…
Very good review and comparison between the two 890's. Congrats!

In my contrie the price of the bike is the small thing. The ensurance cost of the 1290R is no way neer possible. I'm a happy owner of the 890R

Or should I just buy the R and just slap some other tires on for winter? GREAT review by the way!
I wring the neck on my SDR every time I get on it. I wish it had more go. They come out with pretty crap tires though.
Any thoughts on, choosing between the latest Duke 890r or BMW S1000r? I'm coming from a FZ-09..
May I ask your age im 59 and picking up an 890R on tuesday in the USA> I worry I am getting to old to ride safely.
Just can’t get past that horribly ugly swingarm and future KTM breakdowns and leaks.
Still the best reviews on the web!
Thanks James. Tell people!
I love my 890 Duke R🥰
You are on the wrong side of the road.... ;-)
Ain't that the truth.
KTM had to ditch the 790 as they sold the engine 'rights' to their partners, CF Moto.
Love that guy. Great review. Always respect for the englishmen motorcyclists. Greetings from Greece
Thanks for your honesty, a great review, looks like I will keep saving for the 890R
I feel a little guilty. But I think you're making the right decision.
Worth it
But does it feel better then riding a ZX6R G2 Ninja??
I am (or was) an experienced rider of big heavy naked streets (last one was a ZRX1200R), who hasn't been on a bike for the last 12 years.
I'm looking for a go-to-work, daily, but fun to ride bike that's light and nimble (for once) and was looking initially at the Duke 390 which is in my budget,
but all this talking about it being a learner's bike made me fear of getting bored of it soon and made me think of stretching that budget to the limit (4 year financing plan) for the 890 (about 12000€ here), I really can't go the extra +2000€ for the R.

what if you would like to ride with passenger from time
to time
Hi There, Im normal rider, commuter, no track days, just cruising the roads. Which version will be better for me? do I need brembos? Adjustable fork etc.... will that be safer for riding? i dont need attacking laps...
I got the 890 Duke (non R).. it's great for commuting and touring. Pay the extra if you want for the R.
You sir are definitely enjoying ktms more and it makes you look and feel younger. I would go that route
In Canada the MT-09sp is a grand more than the duke r.
how?
u should go out, meet some people, go to the pub... LMAO!
Shame, just bought one, get it next week - still be more than enough for me.
You're spot on in the comparison between the 890R and the standard 890, unfortunately I'm a short arse who can just about stretch the standard model but can't even tiptoe the R, surely in these hi tech days you'd think it wouldn't be beyond manufacturers to make bikes accessible to vertically challenged men and the majority of women.
We hear you. Do they?
I’m glad I got the duke 890 R. It’s a solid bike
I wish they didn't give the R the worst color😭
Well that settles it for me, R it is
I changed as a human at 5:00
I see ktm have been in touch to ask you to change your views on the non r version. How sad. I
Erm... don't understand. Whaddya mean?
The R is a nice bike for sure.Thanks.
But i Like my 890 R
I just bought one😃😃
Love the show! It is Not a woke world they are a loud ,whiney, short minority.
Ha! Steady, they'll be coming for you...
I'm sure KTM are great bikes, never rode one, but with their looks and reliability issues I would never be interested in owning one.
Apart from few electrical issues, New KTM bikes are very reliable machines...If you havent riden a KTM in your life its really bad...Test a 890R or 1290 SDR, trust me they are the most funnest bike out there...
@@abymathew295 Never is a BIG word splodge. Great bikes, reliability for many is faultless. Every manufacturer has issues, every machine does, everything made by human hand or robot does too. More important is how the brand deals with any issues, and in my own experience KTM has always been good in that respect. No doubt some will argue with that as well, but as the truism goes: You can't please all of the people all of the time...
