This would have so many more views if your speedo was in Km/h… Most people who have never ridden this bike think the display is showing the speed in km/h which makes this less impressive for them. I own a ktm 1290 super adv S, and I can assure you this speedo is in MPH, it’s easy to see that because of the RPM-gear-speed ratio. He reaches 142mph (230kph) in these twisty roads with an “adventure” bike, that’s not only absolutely impressive as it’s also a testimony to the masterpiece of engineering that is the KTM 1290 Super Adventure S and the LC8 engine. You Sir, as a rider, also really impressive. Respect 👊🏼
@@seanmccarthy735 I have an 2021 890 ADV R in addition to a 2015 BMW S1000RR. Plus, that section where he was going thru the cones the speed registered looks a lot higher that it looked on video. Over there, you guys use the metric system, no? Not that the 1290 isn't CAPABLE of a 140Mph top end, but I'm not believing that speed on that piece of road on that bike. Hell, I wouldn't have been doing 140 plus there on my BMW, and I KNOW it accelerates a lot harder than the 1290, another reason I'm not buying that speed in Mph, it got there too quickly.
At 07:32 the instrumentation shows a speed of 141 (no clearly visible units) at an engine RPM of 8100 in 6th gear. Do the math. If the speed was in KPH that would be approximately 87 MPH. Do you think the KTM 1290 S is geared like a tractor?
Great bike the KTM 1290 SAS. Thanks Chad 🤙
The Mountain as it should be enjoyed - responsibly. Great vid Chad

Some serious riding mate
Lovely roads stunning bike..very jealous 😍
Not a bad place for a ride, huh! :-)
What’s the warning ⚠️ that you have on screen, I’m old and can’t make it out (I have the same bike)
"Caution! Rider has exceeded his skill llimit."
Low Fuel
Does your meter read in kph or mph? (if you don't mind my curiosity...)
MPH ;)
@@barrybeez Not buying that was Mph instead of Kph. There's no way he was doing over 140Mph on that road.
@@kx8960 you haven’t ridden one of these bikes have u? 🏁🏎

Really enjoyed that. It must feel weird the first time you go round some of the bends on the wrong side.
Fast(ish) not on that, I'm bearly Fast(ish) at an average 108mph solo.
