I was thinking how good it looked the whole time, and then when you focused on the choice to go for a round headlight I thought to myself "kinda looks like a Honda now" and then when you did that Honda bit at the end I burst out laughing
I get the feeling the BRABUS!! workshops consist of a warehouse of all the bits they buy in from the Far East and a large laser etching machine churning out logo's 24/7....
It looks cool . But if I want a beautiful retro design I go for the honda CB 1000 R . And if I want an agressive looking bike I take a ktm 1290 superduke
the side air ducts almost make it look like a MT-10. Given the price, you could go completely nuts with a std or eco 1290 by adding a bunch of KTM power parts and maybe even a set of BST CF wheel and still come in cheaper. That said, still a very nice bike.
To be fair if I bought a brabus version of bike I would not do any changes to it, because it's kinda special. Also the brabus exhaust looks cool :). Obviously I would do mods if the bike wasn't special model like that.
Yep, I saw the CB1000R in there from the very beginning. No need to burn all that cash when Honda already provides a pretty awesome alternative that's exclusive enough on its own, but with only 154 units out the collectors probably already crashed the KTM website. Well done mate ✌️
Another great review. Love your dry sense of humour. I’ve ordered the Honda, Brabus badges with a spare for the Seat. Where do I send the consultation cheque to? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏
Sooooo…. Double the price for some cnc-machined parts, a few bits of carbon fibre, and the word ‘Brabus’ repeated roughly 62,000 times across the bike? No thanks. I’d buy the super duke R Evo, do a respray to my preferred colours, then add a bunch of custom parts including performance parts, and still save plenty of cash.
Wow. I kind of don’t see the point when there is the “standard” SDR plus the EVO with all the bells and whistles. I have a 2020 SDR - these bikes are made to be ridden, not sit in garages as showpieces.
changing the headlight a very bad idea. most guys love the distinctive Ktm Design. I think putting that budget into actual performance would be a smarter option, as the SDR Design is why we love this bike.
Personally I think Lamborghini nailed it better with the Diavel… But this is still very good looking and will no doubt become very collectible with age.
😅😅😅 BRABUS stickers for £ 8,99 Stick the spare on your VOLVO 🤣🤣🤣 I’d order one to offer you, but I spent all my pocket money on chocolates and wine! ❤️👉🏼👌🏼🤪😜😝
Brabus and AMG are well known tuners. The way MV AGusta sells out with limited production versions is what Brabus going for. Look how fast the Super Duke RR sold out in 50 minutes.
Why would I bother with the Brabus 1300r when I could buy the KTM superduke 1290rr ? It doesn't have any more power and isn't any lighter. And wow it now says Brabus on start up rather than KTM ready to race! Who gives a monkeys.
FAO MotoBob... Thinking out aloud... Would love to see Amazon Prime do a motorbike version of the Grand Tour headed by Richard Hammond and MotoBob. Touring the world and setting ridiculous but entertaining challenges, bike reviews, history of bikes etc would in my opinion be a hit show for sure!
The design is kinda cool, but not $35k kinda cool. It’s like they where stretching a bunch of expensive parts to put on a naked bike. Heated seats? Those bar-end, up-side down mirrors? What a trip. Not my bag, baby.
I like that base model with the characteristic _KTM_ lights but with that... It's like a meh model. I think it's the answer to _BMW_ and it's _M lineup_ like the _BMW M1000 RR_ and others which will came and _MV Agusta_ and their special editions. I only disagree with the affirmation that _"heated seat isn't necessary on a bike like that"_ because in a season like now here in South Europe in the early morning is (or can be very) cold and during the day is hot and so on... The rest of the motorbike is a huge masterpiece but can only say congrats to the owner and hope they will enjoy a lot of the adquisition.
I love your reviews, but I hope you can start adding US dollar bike values and lbs and gallon measurements for your viewers here in the US. You might get more subscribers from the US. Thanks for your work 🤙🏽
A bit of a wet squib. Yeah it has Brabus looks and yeah the SD1290R is blisteringly fast but a Brabus is ment to have more torque, more horsepower and bigger brakes than the base vehicle. This doesn't.
What a load of rubbish. Borrowed boots from other bikes, many of the parts could be sourced from AliExpress (mirrors, levers, pipes, heated seat pad, indicators etc). Don't get the point of it?
Yaaaawn…. Must as well watch something about the latest Ferraris. Just as much relevant as it is achievable for most people. The world’s gone crazy. Prices going up, inflation is nuts, money printing seems having no end in sight, climate change clearly visible… I’m having a feeling this is worlds crazy laugh before falling into the madness. All this is not normal.
I see the new 23 edition is being offered soon, any one out there purchase one of these? Great vlog as ever, informative and to the point 🏍💨✊ ps just ordered speedo angles dash protector for my Tiger 900 Pro, thanks for the discount code👍
Another exotic bike that will end up in some rich kid/rich old bloke's collection to stare at it all day or night. It might move to one of the tax havens like Dhubai. It made me smile when you mentioned heated grips and seat, as if someone will be foolish enough to ride it on the salty UK winter roads. Cooled grips and seat to ride the bike in the Dhubai dessert, yes. Good investment though, because the price will go up as quick as a space-X rocket pushes a sattelite in to orbit.
So glad that this was not the husky 1301 ! The vitpilen is a true beauty and if husky ever do get to do a 1301 then I hope they make it just as beautiful...not this chunky brabus thing
No way in hell would I be a prospective customer for a motorcycle like this, but I do think that aesthetically, it's a substantial upgrade. Looking at the other comments either you like the KTM look or you don't. I don't.
Kinda looks like a cross between MT10 and CB 1000 R. I'll take the wheels, seat, foot pegs and shifter, maybe the exhaust. They can have the rest. Everything else, I would keep looking like KTM 1290 EVO.
I was thinking how good it looked the whole time, and then when you focused on the choice to go for a round headlight I thought to myself "kinda looks like a Honda now" and then when you did that Honda bit at the end I burst out laughing
An then an then an then an then!
Still remains a Ktm 1290 super duke r! Just because I paint a banana orange doesn't make it a carrot!
They're all gone. Went quicker than the bike. Your Honda solution is a winner - set of Vance and Hines pipes to replace the elephant trunk muffler.
Nice one Bob !
Hmmm... 35k... nah 🤔
I get the feeling the BRABUS!! workshops consist of a warehouse of all the bits they buy in from the Far East and a large laser etching machine churning out logo's 24/7....
Would be pretty cook if Husky made a less expensive version with similar styling. I really admired the super duke but orange isn't my thing :/
I was hoping Husky would do a retro bike with a round headlight, would also be affordable..
A sell in 5 minutes then when they start getting delivered the price will double just like the Lamborghini DUCATI DIAVAL
KTM bikes have always been too hideous to ever seriously consider ownership. But wow, this bike looks amazing. Finally!
It looks cool . But if I want a beautiful retro design I go for the honda CB 1000 R . And if I want an agressive looking bike I take a ktm 1290 superduke
5:33 - Kind of dumb that they took the effort to make a unique Brabus start-up screen animation, but that they didn't remove the KTM logo underneath😂
I think it's a Collaboration so
the side air ducts almost make it look like a MT-10. Given the price, you could go completely nuts with a std or eco 1290 by adding a bunch of KTM power parts and maybe even a set of BST CF wheel and still come in cheaper. That said, still a very nice bike.
Reminds the vmax tuned by lazareth
To be fair if I bought a brabus version of bike I would not do any changes to it, because it's kinda special. Also the brabus exhaust looks cool :). Obviously I would do mods if the bike wasn't special model like that.
And after they’ve sold the limited addition models to all the “collectors”, next year they’ll paint it white and call it a 1301 Husky 😆!
🤣🤣 that would look dope
Yep, I saw the CB1000R in there from the very beginning. No need to burn all that cash when Honda already provides a pretty awesome alternative that's exclusive enough on its own, but with only 154 units out the collectors probably already crashed the KTM website. Well done mate ✌️
it looks like cb1000r+diavel and little bit of mv agusta too
Another great review. Love your dry sense of humour. I’ve ordered the Honda, Brabus badges with a spare for the Seat. Where do I send the consultation cheque to? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏
I only accept Brabus badges as payment so that I can sell them on my eBay store 👍
I’ve ordered 10 and sent them to PO BOX MOTOBOB. Hope they get there 😎😎
Could look better at that price. I'm sure you could mod the superduke to your own spec with that budget.
True... but people will pay for the Brabus name.
Brabus edition looks so much better than
bug-us version, too bad all the unnecessary overpriced carbon and unnecessary perceived name brand value
Sooooo…. Double the price for some cnc-machined parts, a few bits of carbon fibre, and the word ‘Brabus’ repeated roughly 62,000 times across the bike? No thanks. I’d buy the super duke R Evo, do a respray to my preferred colours, then add a bunch of custom parts including performance parts, and still save plenty of cash.
Reminds me of the Suzuki B-King. That’s not a good thing. I’d rather have the original KTM superduke
Wow. I kind of don’t see the point when there is the “standard” SDR plus the EVO with all the bells and whistles. I have a 2020 SDR - these bikes are made to be ridden, not sit in garages as showpieces.
It's such a nice looking Honda CB125R.
changing the headlight a very bad idea. most guys love the distinctive Ktm Design. I think putting that budget into actual performance would be a smarter option, as the SDR Design is why we love this bike.
nah
nah
I like the standard bike much more.
There's only 2 things that ruin the look of that and that's the mirrors. I know they need to go somewhere, but hanging down like bloodhound ears. No.
It looks waaay better than the angular and pointy original. And no brash colours either!
It's a pretty disappointing brabus..!
Love that jab at the price and look 👀
Volvo Brabus sounds great actually
The stock bike looks way better.
A KTM has to be orange for me..
Personally I think Lamborghini nailed it better with the Diavel… But this is still very good looking and will no doubt become very collectible with age.
100% agreed.
😅😅😅 BRABUS stickers for £ 8,99
Stick the spare on your VOLVO 🤣🤣🤣
I’d order one to offer you, but I spent all my pocket money on chocolates and wine! ❤️👉🏼👌🏼🤪😜😝
Brabus and AMG are well known tuners. The way MV AGusta sells out with limited production versions is what Brabus going for. Look how fast the Super Duke RR sold out in 50 minutes.
I guess mostly brabus car owners brought them to fill a collection.
Why would I bother with the Brabus 1300r when I could buy the KTM superduke 1290rr ? It doesn't have any more power and isn't any lighter. And wow it now says Brabus on start up rather than KTM ready to race! Who gives a monkeys.

It's just a UGLY overpriced superduke.... I'd rather buy 2 Superdukes then
why??? Doesn't look like KTM anymore its like a 140 kilogram Cindy Crawford not sexy anymore
A bit of a wet squib. Yeah it has Brabus looks and yeah the SD1290R is blisteringly fast but a Brabus is ment to have more torque, more horsepower and bigger brakes than the base vehicle. This doesn't.
Me likes round headlights and 190mm rears but a Brabus badge up my azz? Nah I'll wait for the new XSR900.
What a load of rubbish. Borrowed boots from other bikes, many of the parts could be sourced from AliExpress (mirrors, levers, pipes, heated seat pad, indicators etc). Don't get the point of it?
Yaaaawn…. Must as well watch something about the latest Ferraris. Just as much relevant as it is achievable for most people. The world’s gone crazy.

Brabus creating the CB1290 is proof they should keep away from the two wheel scene and stick to mutilating Mercedes for footballers.
Excellent News about the New KTM Duke BRABUS.i liked your video🎉
I see the new 23 edition is being offered soon, any one out there purchase one of these?
Great vlog as ever, informative and to the point 🏍💨✊
ps just ordered speedo angles dash protector for my Tiger 900 Pro, thanks for the discount code👍
The spy shots of a possibe Husqvarna Vitpilen 1301 we're just like this!?..🤔.
Bugga they sold out before I could get the deposit sorted🤔😂😂
Nice bike tho and your right it’s very CB1000r ish🤔.
Too bad it wasn’t one of the Husqavarna 1301 family. That would’ve been much better than this⬆️
You realise a 1290 superduke is actually a 1301 engine already?
Nice bike though but just saying
It’s even uglier than the normal Super Duke! Do we need all this traction control bullshit, a 2005 Gixxer never needed that crap.
Another exotic bike that will end up in some rich kid/rich old bloke's collection to stare at it all day or night. It might move to one of the tax havens like Dhubai.
It made me smile when you mentioned heated grips and seat, as if someone will be foolish enough to ride it on the salty UK winter roads. Cooled grips and seat to ride the bike in the Dhubai dessert, yes.
Good investment though, because the price will go up as quick as a space-X rocket pushes a sattelite in to orbit.
Bit of a beast that... bit too much money though! For that amount of dosh... I'd probably get a Ducati or a MV.
I guess that some rich knob head will buy it...Double the price of the SDR for a badge, a can and a cheap headlight...oh dear.....
So glad that this was not the husky 1301 ! The vitpilen is a true beauty and if husky ever do get to do a 1301 then I hope they make it just as beautiful...not this chunky brabus thing
That kind of money for KTM reliability... Ok you get it I'm happy with what I got...
Top 5 cons of this bike:
1.) It's not a RC8
2.) It's not a RC8
3.) It's not a RC8
4.) It's not an RC8
5.) It's not an RC8
Dumb waste of money. Nothing a teenager, a laser engraver, and a toce exhaust can't replicate.
Sorry Brabus, but stick with mercedes cars, man that's ugly...
good to see more brands are getting into the pool and getting more riders interested!
KTMs are the worst looking and the worst sounding bikes.
Really.
Read super duke, saw headlight and thought "oh they got together with them made a fancy husqvarna" 🤣
Looks like if a Diavel and a cb1000r had a baby. Still nice though.
Sold out in minutes to investors not real bike enthusiast who can see it as a overpriced Diavel/Monster rip-off
After all that Brabus praising, get a Honda and Brabus logo online your good🤣🤣
Am I the only one thinking that this looks like a modified CB1000????
Yea... nahhh... Super Duke looks better ! I like the wheels and exhaust tho...
Bro. You are best... The way you explain things in detail is the best
Last part of the video is pure gold, u really got me there. Thanks.
Brabus is just not a good name its not even fun to speak it, sounds like the noise you make if you fart in the bath tub
Am I the only one who feel this looks alike CB1000R....?
Doesn’t make sense to style a bike after a car. WTF KTM??
Fricken proud of my Volvo too
Me too mate! Got a V60 and it's awesome. What about you?
Good looking bike , miss opportunity for a bikini faring thou .
pitty its a limit edition coz that the sort of bike i would buy no matter what its price is.
Not doing it for me. I'll take a KTM and be proud of it.
My first thoughts they copied the Honda neo cafe racer range.
Ew. Way to ruin a perfectly good bike.
Congrats Brabus you turned a super duke r into a Honda cb……
Meh, Ducati Diavel in full black still looks better
the headlight looks like from huqavarna
Is it the new Honda CB1300R?
Can’t wait to see this in some guys garage with 0 miles
You can never have enough Brabus logo's.
the rider is RokBagoros 👍👍
Looks like a Honda.
Except the cb1000r still looks better imo
Sold out in what...2 minutes?!
Woow. Interesting to see Brabus in the world of moto 🌟
...looks like the inside of a tarts handbag.
Anytime duke looks more handsome than this
expensive crap!!! nothing new about !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like KTM CB1290R
Kinda looks a bit meh for a fancy bike
No way in hell would I be a prospective customer for a motorcycle like this, but I do think that aesthetically, it's a substantial upgrade. Looking at the other comments either you like the KTM look or you don't. I don't.
this is nice video
nice production
subscribed
Why does it look like a Ducati Diavel?
Kinda looks like a cross between MT10 and CB 1000 R. I'll take the wheels, seat, foot pegs and shifter, maybe the exhaust. They can have the rest. Everything else, I would keep looking like KTM 1290 EVO.
A bored rich guy’s poser bike…
