Good review. Hopefully it will not start leaking oil within the 1st 500 miles unlike my 890r. Having to pay for tech pack is a rip off also. Im glad I traded my 890r for a s1000r sport. Best decision ever
You don't have to pay for the tech pack. Its not a rip off. If you don't want it, don't pay, if you do, then pay. Make your mind up if the money is worth it to you.
Hope the problems of the 890 have been sorted as this isn’t getting mentioned at all by any of the reviewers. I will remind you , engine oil leak, coolant leak , break disc warping resulting in break pulsing at low speed, the indicators coming on in wet weather on there own and not functioning on the tft.
If they have sorted these issues then sounds good .
always remember these guys get paid by the manufacturers to test bikes in some tropical resort with all the benefits...they will never trash it.
This said - love the bike!
Don't forget the camshafts chewing themselves before 10,000 miles
@@nicofonceThey don’t get paid by the manufacturers to test the bikes. They get free travel and accommodation
Not true at all. We get paid by Bennetts to produce independent editorial content that you can trust in the hope that you'll have a warm feeling about Bennetts when your insurance is due. Chad is a freelance tester who works for us. Manufacturers invite Bennetts on the launch and we choose which tester we send. Chad, like all our test team is massively experienced and respected across the industry for his ability to asses a bike thoroughly and objectively. Road testing is harder than you might imagine in the same way as brain surgery is (probably) even harder than it looks. Just because he makes it look easy and enjoyable doesn't mean that anyone can do it. And if the bike he rides is a good bike, what's so bad about him saying that?
For a moment, I thought you were goint to mention cam lobe wear.
I’ve recent just started getting back into bikes and back when I was younger the 990 was considered the “superduke” man how times have changed. My last bike was a 690 Duke back then and I miss it a lot.
The 690 was and still is a great bike. I've got a 17r..
Great video but you still not convince me to buy one , i'll keep my 890R until there comes a 990R with at least 130Hp and more than 104Nm of torque .
I also have no intentions to swap my 2020 MT09 optimized to 117 whp and 181,5 kgs wet for the overpriced thing in orange 😅✌️🔥🏁
@@SirMountainpassI am considering trading my mt-09 Tracer from 2017 to this, the suspension on the mt-09 and fuelling are rubbish. Maybe on your model things had improved.
@@daimonmt
The fuelling got optimized by an experienced Pro and is now on a entirely different level - you could call it « day and night » from what it was out of the factory (in 2020 already "better" than in 2017) - from 5’000 rpm onwards it exactly follows the ideal 13,25 : 1 right to the cut-off point and makes max. power from 10’800-11’300 rpm 🏁
The CP3 red-lines in every gear at 11’500 rpm except in 6th gear.
At the racetrack, tucked behind a semi-high windshield, wearing tight (custom-made) full racing leathers and an aerodynamic AGV Pista RR helmet, I was able to see 249 Km/h in 5th.
In ideal conditions on the German Autobahn, 263 Km/h in 6th. Allow for a 8% deduction to get to GPS values.
Nice one Chad. Thank you. I’ll be testing this one out for sure. For the roads it sounds like it’s in the Goldilocks zone, and $5k cheaper than the overcooked bigger brother that will only be a statement of the buyers, when only 0.0000001% of all riders will be able to push that one to its limits.
Best pictures/video with best colors I ve seen so far of this bike. Especially the orange seems to be hard to capture (for the others….😉)
Nearly 14k for 115 bhp middle naked ktm is crazy money. Give it 12 months you will be able to buy one new for 11k
It states it is 121.4 bhp
@Nick-Gye makes no difference buddy , to expensive for what it is
still cheap, i live in country where superduke cost 30k dolar due to import tax.
A used one is around $3000-$5000 USD.? With around 10k16k miles….
I wouldnt buy a KTM based on what ive seen in forums of guys finding chunks of metal in their engines at the first oil change
Somehow Chad is in videos for every channel out there.
Love the Chad
@@Chad76Media must make a lot of money being the star of almost all of the channels
Do the wheelie control settings hold the wheelie for a while or does it set them down quickly?
2:35 ... how to find a fault with it? Check for camshaft wear. Hopefully KTM have got that sorted.
Oh crikey another 990 review
Great and an outstanding bike! It is crazy that when the demo mode expires you have to pay to keep something basic like the quick shifter and cruise control which are standard on many bikes these days.
That looked like a spirited ride in the mountains Chad 😂
This VS 890R?
990 has surprisingly no more HP/Torque gain over 890.
What’s your verdict?
In the US, 890R is at least $3,500 cheaper than 990.
excellent question as I've also been looking at both... the 890R is cheaper, lighter, same power/torque and has fancy Brembo Stylema, Ohlins suspension etc; the 990 does look more 'mature' and like a slightly smaller Super Duke, the 890R seems very narrow and supermoto style
Reason to buy this one instead of an 890R?
I’ll stick to my 790, enough power for on any road. I doubt you’d be able to use the extra 16 bhp to its full on UK roads
Just over a year ago you really praised the Monster SP, sounds like this is similar. Which one would you be taking out for a blast around your favourite UK roads?
Most fun in raisin times!
They come out with a R next year, me Hypermotard SP is in danger.... Had the 2008 990--afetr my first bike Monster 916. Drove it in to try the KTM. Left on it. Then 11 more KTMS. On Ducatis now. KTM: Get your glitches gone and I'm game. KTMs always fun.
Chad 990 vs Ducati 950 Monster? Same displacement same cylinders but the Monster is pretty
but engine (sound) is rough, ... even KTMs are not smooth, but my expeience with monster was not satisfactory, front wheel feels too light, not planted on the road... so 990 Duke all the way .... and same displacement but monster is underpowered (110 HP) for a 937cc V2
990 faster
@@Chad76Mediaeven 890 Duke was faster than Monster, despite being 48cc Less, so 990 has to be faster, being 10cc more now.
Can the 'improved braking' you sensed be chalked up to lower weight? (I don't know the figures, just speculating.) How does the headlight do at night? Am I the only one riding at night? (On another note, I wish these 'bot comments' could be blocked.)
the 'improved braking' surprised me greatly; the 990 is heavier than the 890R and doesn't have the Stylema calipers
990 SMT next?
surely this goes up agianst the s1000r ? not the triumph or yamaha?
It's only 123hp so it makes sense for it to go against the street triple and MT09
@@Beefcake771ok I'll give you that... what about price?
990cc only producing 123hp is robbery as it basically 10cc away form a liter bike
price wise it sits between mt09 sp and street triple rs in usa @@vector409

KTM , engineering Masterpiece.
The orange insect look won't suit most people at this price.
Not enough of a step up over the 890R for that money.
for 800£ more you can have the Yamaha MT10 that produces 160 hp instead of 125 for the KTM...riding the 890 duke myself but in this case the choice would be made easy...
I think you should have been compared 890 Duke R’s brakes with the 990’s! Because The 890 Duke R is a much different and superior motorcycle than the normal 890.
Tell ktm we need 490 twin to compete with ninja,cfmoto,aprilia on 500 class.
that headlight design kills everything that's good about the bike.
I like it but don’t want to look like I bought one made by CC P Motors
The KTM 990 and 1390 are made in Austria, the lower level or cc bikes are made in China in collaboration with Lexmoto
Had the earlier 990… lots of aggravating technical issues… from instruments to switchgear, to random strange mechanical noises from the engine. I don’t see where KTM has succeeded in banishing the irksome functional niggles from their unit production
I've never seen Chad that existed about a bike before. It says a lot about the 990
You and us both, makes me very keen to ride one in the UK soon!
The real KTM Duke is the KTM Duke II 640 ❤. Unique and ahead of its time. Don't get me wrong. This bike seems very interesting. But it should have another name 😊
Please level your audio. Your audio quality is terrible btw
It is too EXPENSIVE !!! for what it is 😂😂😂
Would never buy a KTM after watching a video about KTM poor service following issues over cam shaft failures
What a rip-off.
Not a KTM fan.🤣🍊😊
