Still making beautiful strong bikes no matter what the anti-KTM haters say. They are not dead and still tearing everyone else up in motorcross and just won Dakar. Despite money problems and doomsayers KTM is still the boss. They are not going anywhere
Yeah you forgot to put reliability in there... They do make fast badass race bikes, but for my money I ride Kawasaki Green Z500 & Honda Red CB500X... The cool thing is to each their own & we can all get the motorcycle that we all desire. KTM does make some Savage as bikes they're just not for me. KTM is to hardcore for me haha
@@garydobbs5159 thank you bro I really appreciate that! 🙏 I like the 450-500cc class It cruises on the highway real good about 75 mph when you start going much over that your ⛽ mileage goes to shit, but cars go so fast (i live in Phoenix) I was riding with my buddy who rides a '21 V-Strom 650 we were going almost 80 & cars were passing us It just doesn't feel safe (imo) if you're riding over 80 mph it's harder to 🛑 the 🏍️ & it feels light when you start going that fast... 70-75mph is a sweet spot. I ⚙️ the Honda 1 🦷 on the front sprocket to lower the RPMs on the 🛣️ The Kawasaki I just run it factory gearing because I don't take it on the highway as much as the Honda CB500X.. The Kawasaki has really good torque in the mid-range but then again the bike is like 360 lb Honda like 430 lb... I've been riding the Kawasaki & when I got back on the Honda (2 months later) I was like damn this is a smooth nice bike! But the Kawasaki feels like a little racer compared to the Honda totally different spectrum. If I had to only pick one bike I would take the Honda '19 CB500X
@@garydobbs5159 You going to get yourself a KTM? That's cool that they're coming out with that 390 Enduro R, they also have the adventure R, RC 390 & Duke 390!! Bunch of different models! I used to have a CRF250L rally, I really miss that bike it was so fun to ride & it looked cool
@ oh I have a Duke already but I think my next bike will be a Ninja or GSX. I still love the Asian brands the most but my KTM popped in the show room. I love orange and blue colors so it was me at the time. I’ll keep it another 3 years . I love the bike.
@@philipabrahall3417 as a KTM I ask the same question because it can’t add that much more. Funny if the seat was comfortable for 800 miles then got hard with dealer saying they would make it comfortable again for 1K😂😂😂😂
@@morexdanx I don't get why a manufacturer wouldn't just make a bike put out as much power as is feasible with current technology, and then send any nanny states models with an "A2 tune" loaded to limit the power as necessary.
@@leanit5756 that's because power to weight ratio can't exceed some kind of number because of that bike needs to be heavier. If that was not the case the bike will be around 139kg

its not the bike I need its warmer weather but that 390 is quite a machine
CQQL video! Check out this carbon fiber plate hider which is also a fender eliminator all in one 😉
Why can't they make a comfortable seat... ffs

230mm travel? what a joke??
suzuki is lighter bruh
jeah and the ktm had 1 gear more, and 6 horse power more and more torque
Due to regulation
Bike looks a bit weird imo
if you want to do what this guy is doing the video Don't Buy That Bike by a dirt bike like a 250 xc-w or 350 or 450 XC or xcw
That stupid thing is heavier than a 690 😳
blame A2 regulation
