Please do review on Benelli 752s,interesting bike yet no one doing it
“I’m not gonna say no am I?”.... My man 💪🏽
Such a beautiful bike that's mechanically made for the testosterone in every man
All the torque and horsepower all by 9500 street rpm. I owned a 2016 and with a 2018 now. Best engine. Love seeing the whole engine. Never runs hot
possibly the best review on 1290 Super Duke R
Cheers CP!
@@motobob Thanks Sir, Respect
Absolutely awesome Bob. Thank you. It was hard to tell whether you were talking quickly like a kid in a candy shop or just mindful of 10 minutes. Either way I loved it. 👍😎🇦🇺
as always, another well-organized, high-quality video from MOTOBOB. Keep up the great vids!!!
Cheers DW - appreciate it
This still setting . . . all the green behind the bike plus your angle shots make for a truly lovely presentation.
I stumbled over your channel and actually it is the best presentation (spoken) I came across so far. Thank you!
I wouldn't say no either! KTM makes fun bikes, I even like their looks as well.
You're so good with the presentation! You've earned yourself a subscriber there mate! Keep up the great work!
Thanks mate and welcome aboard!
Keep up the good work Bob! I'm going riding as well. 👍🏻
years ago I started on a KTM Duke 125 and man I tell you these bikes are much more fascinating in person. The camera doesn't show how attractive they are in a showroom. Although I have a couple of superbikes now, I know one day I will get one of these superdukes.
I own a 2020 KTM SDR and your impressions are spot on.
Never would I thought of buying a v-twin after owning only Kawasaki big bore bikes since the 1980s. This bike is just perfect for country riding, not so impressed with it on the highway, but it not meant cruising at 160Kph. Love that low rpm grunt. 🇨🇦
I didn't think I needed a Super Duke R, then I rode one.
Excellent video, really enjoyed the review.... short, sweet and to the point. I’m hoping to get out on this bike next week once the rain ends as my local KTM dealer won’t let theirs out in the wet! Sensible I suppose with 180BHP!
G'day Bob. That power, that torque. God help us.!!!! Super Duper bike.
I think Ktm's been making tiny changes to their bikes over the years and along the way they went from ugly to kind of beautiful without me noticing
Same! Well... some of them.
Pretty drastic change between 2016 to 2017 and between 2019 and 2020 actually
I always liked how KTMs look.
Well said. I was thinking the same thing. I find myself asking myself “when did these bikes actually start becoming attractive???” Hahaha
The earlier bikes were funky and extreme. The newer ones are more refined. I have a 23 sdr evo and I love the looks and performance.
My friend just got one a week ago, just saw it tonight and, instantly fell in love.
You dont know this bike until you see it irl hear it irl and ride it irl.. its just dropping balls
I literally swore quietly when I saw that single sided swingarm. Damn ain't she a beauty
Great review!
Mate any plans on reviewing benelli models in future?
Nice review by the way...✌🏼👍🏼
Love from India 😍
One of the best bike journalists on UA-cam reviews one of the most fascinating bikes of our time. lllllike 👍
Hi mate, I just bought SuperDuke GT MY 2019 at last friday after 6 years dreaming and Im overhelmed with emotion even Im more a in-line 4 guy. This is so gooooood, dame goood. Beast from Hell. Everything works so good and feeling and stability is exceptional.
So I take it you like it? ;-)
Not ridden this yet, but definitely on my 'list'.
What else is on your list?
awesome review thank you
I have a 2015 1290 super duke, and this 2020 one is gorgeous but for the moment I still love mine 2015
Real shame you didn't have any decent weather, absolutely love my '18 model and am promising myself a '20+ one in the next couple of of years.
I have a 18 waiting too see a v4 model
I rode mine down to the Pyrenees (ainsa northern spain) and back in September this year and it was an absolute breeze 2600 miles
Anyone that doesn't rate this bike extremely high does not like bikes. The looks, the tech, the engine, the character, the power, the weight, everything on this bike is spot on
Agree.
I haven't ridden any other hyper naked, but of all the bikes I have ridden, this is by far the best.
I own this generation of SDR in black. It is perfect from 0-100mph, which is ideal for street riding. Cons? Some protection from the wind, like on the Tuono, would be my preference. The turn signal switch feels cheap. The US models get hideous turn signal indicators. None of these things are dealbreakers; the bike overall is superb as delivered.
that bike is ridiculous, love the bike and the vid.
I don’t own one but my mate has one and it’s a cracking bike. Will keep up with anything in an equally matched group.
It's not the beast, it is the super beast.... love from India
Rob Zombie would ride a huge custom chopper.
I wish I was tall enough and had enough quid for this bike. 0 for 2. So I went for the 890 Duke as it fit the budget, and I could actually reach the ground. No regrets. Awesomest bike I’ve ridden yet. I’ll just admire the 1290 for now. Great review, mate! Cheers!
How tall are you? Im 5 2" and considering one after first looking at a Streetfighter V4
@@kennyharp4125 I’m 5’5”
@@edselsugay5342 so is 5'10 good i also have a duke but i dont understand is this super duke taller than other models
Nice video very informative. How tall are you
Nicely done - thanks
KTM is simply a thrilling machine
Nailed it!
Also liked the hollow wheel spindles...
Yeah I always like to see that on a bike. The little details add up
Great bike! I've got one. I see you use a Beeline Moto - how about a short video on that - including GPX files. Regards!
Will do at some point!
They're great little devices!
@Pat McCaliskey The SF V4S is a very good bike but focused... you are always reminded that it wants to go faster (it is just must faster than the SDR) - unlike the SDR that is well mannered. The detail, fit and finish on the Ducati is very good. I am not very fond of the Aprilia looks - does not look lyk a hypernaked..
blue and orange looks like redbull f1 levery 😀😀 lovely bike
Omg I want one!!!
That bike is just vicious
The smile on your face tells me you secretly want one haha!
Great, just what the world needs. Like 4 people in the world can handel that kind of horsepower.
Will you be doing a review of the 2021 Mt09 in the future?
Hope so - I’ll reach out to Yamaha soon
You should have a go on the GT. It takes this beast and makes it... practical.
I see you are using beeline moto what's your opinion on it you should do a video on it
Really good - use it most rides. Video coming soon I hope
If you put enduro tires or even the dirt bike tires on it will it do good on trails like an actual enduro bike?
That is a beautifulll machine 😍
Is the bike reliable?
Pando moto has the BEST armored leggings. Or armoured, however you like
I love my Aprilia Tuono V4 but for me, the SDR is the best looking super naked by a good margin.
Uh, I'll take that nasty old Tuono off your hands. I know, they're so embarrassing to ride you should most certainly give it to me!
I’d definitely get it in black and trick it out with Carbon and an Austin exhaust….. Maybe one day 🤷🏻♂️
Black it is 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mikeyortiz6306 Eh?
My dream bike
What a beast! One day..
Best designed good looking bike
Hello Mate, I have a question If I May Ask. How Tall Are You? I am a short rider, so I am finding some types of motorcycles very challenging to ride on.
@7:15 What does it mean? Does it suck less?
What was that fly screen all about? Not seen that before. It appeared on the screen a couple of times 1.47 and a bit later on. Is it a clip on/off thing, or does it slide upwards from the headlight? Or was it from KTM footage that you just used?
That's the 890 Adv! Just used those clips when I was talking about it. But the headlight is SO similar that you can barely tell the diff...
@@motobob That explains it. I thought there'd been a colour change as well, but it all makes sense now. Great review BTW.
I wanted to ask you how’s the fueling on it ? I currently have an FZ10 and I previously owned an FZ09 ( both bikes are twitchy and even thought you get used to it’s very annoying sometimes) Im guessing it’s not an issue with the super duke other wise you would’ve mentioned it .
Hard for me to say because I had to mainly ride it in the wet, being pretty gentle with the throttle all the time. Felt good to me when I got chance to occasionally open it up but only a demo ride yourself will determine if it’s the right bike for you!
@@motobob Thank you
@@BrainDamage4 mt10 fuelling is snatchy, the superduke is smooth as silk whatever speed, no lurching no off throttle twitchiness.
I’ve owned a mt10 and have a supeduke
@@motorbiketoureruk I appreciate the input , you owned an MT10 and I’m sure you know what I’m talking about . Cheers
Mt10 is a better and complete package
SuperDuke R is a kind of bike I would love to ride but not buy it, but I will tell that I wish it should've been a bit more practical for me to buy.
I rode one last year. I thought it would be scary but it’s super easy to use. It’s the best bike I have ever ridden. Would never buy one though. Could never use even 50% of its performance. I’d probably be better off on a duke 390 😂
Holy crap, how small is your inseam...?
whats with the upside down forks??????????? they look rite to me female up top male part on the bottom what am i missing here ???????????????
The looks still don't really do it for me, but otherwise what an awesome bike. I did have a ride of one mid last year. I probably should have worn some adult nappies , because well I almost pooped myself !
If I had a load of cash to make a custom bike ( I don't ) I would like to get a Super Duke R and make it "pretty" . The light would definitely be the first thing to go, the tank would be rounded off with the spikes going out front removed, and it'd be in red and black. (Red tank, black pretty much everywhere else )
I have a cb1000r 2012 super quick bike but I can tell you the duke 1290 is other monster That thing pass me on the highway really fast I was 145 mph and that duke pass and least 180 mph
that is right reason 😎
Two giant cyilindres means.... great sensations!!! The bike sd1290r is the Real King of incredible sensatons 🔥 👌 in good helps control electronics!!!
Gretting from Spain!!!
180 hp!!!!&142Nw/m torque!!! Terrific& fortune bikers to enjoy it!
Only few can tame such beasts like this....
I tried all the models at the Excel show a few years ago and every one was uncomfortable to sit on which I found disappointing. I have a thin bony bottom mind ;) I can appreciate the engineering though.
I use this as my commuter
I have ridden it. It is pure lust..
Extremely glad that you didn't say no!
"Sensible speeds"
Goodluck with that!
Lol
Right!? Braaaaaap…whoops
It is the most fastest twin cylinder bike in the world 🔥🔥🔥👍👍
It has 180 ps power and 140 nm torque which is an insane thing for a twin cylinder bike 😎
I will buy one for myself
That suspension though, looks like it's bucking you around like a wild donkey at 60 mph, I thought my Dyna was bad LOL. Looks like you gotta spend another $2,000 to $3,000 USD on a suspension upgrade to get that thing under control.
Great bike but the cost of insurance not so much
Ktm 😍⚡️⚡️⚡️
Road or track.... I'm NEVER gonna use all that power!
From Alleppey
Stunning bike, but it would be wasted on me. The best-looking sports naked. I'll stick to my 390.
What is that jacket, Pando, you said? I like it.
Yes indeed - just adding links now
@@motobob Thanks for letting me know.
how do you like your shoei gtair?
So far great. I bought it to reduce wind noise because I’m doing so much motorway work picking up press bikes and I heard it was quiet. Certainly seems to do the trick combined with my noise cancelling headset and comfortable for a few hours at a time too
nice one thanks !
Qs of the century: Super Duke or Tuono?
Tuono!
Superduke for sure.it's mental
This can be a track bike, but it is a road bike bar none. I stretch its legs pretty much everyday and push its limits in the Colorado canyons 3 days a week. It destroys the 890.
Biggest grin factor of any bike?
This has to be up there for me, but I've got the new Speed Triple coming this week :)
I'll. stick with triumph . much more. reliable . ohh also 180 hp
Do what us Americans do mate: just say you're at a test track in Mexico and open her up!
Farley satisfying???? It's the Beast!!!
I know but... with a proper exhaust on it...
@@motobob Just messing with you. Love the vid's. Great info of all the New bikes. With those tiny roads you ride, there is no way you can pull the trigger on a Duke R. Take care BE SAFE. See ya on the next one. Cheers👍👍👍
This bike I am buying soon. One of the best looking naked bikes out there!!!! IT is INSANE!
That pillion seat looks, erm... painful.
Sorry, did this guy even use the switchgear??? The left side switchgear, especially the turn signal, is absolutely useless and feels so cheap.
The only naked bike i love....
I only sat on this and i didnt like it. Definitely wish i could've tried one and not just sit on it. Doesn't give it justice
No thx, I'll stick with my 2021 ZH2 👍
Why anyone would want to ride an 890 rather than a SuperDuke for road-only riding is beyond me. He really lost credibility. For dual sport of course, but road riding, no way in hell.
890 duke boss...
@@motobob That makes more sense. Assumed the Adventure since you’re all about ADV.
In your face, orange
Should I trade my my mt10 for this ?
