Having the 1290r , i can confirm what he says. Actually, the 1290r is the first bike where i regularly tell myself : nobody actually needs this much power and agressivness 😂 But then i open the trottle again and forget what i just told myself.
it's not because the 1290 specs are too much for legal riding, that it shouldn't get more HP. I wouldn't mind as Smokey mentioned, to have an extra mounted f.e. a compressor on a SD, like Kawa does on the H2. After a couple of years on a 1290 SD SE, I would like KTM to bring us something more powerful. It would be nice to tame 4th and 5th gear power wheelies too. Current SD's stop doing power wheelies in 3rd. Do you need it, no. Do you want it ? I do :-)
Hi, really a cool bike and nice to ride. Myself I‘ve got a Duke 890 R for now 15 month and ~7tkm after a Duke 790 that I‘ve owned for 1,5 years. I really love it but I‘m also excited to maybe see something like a 890 SMT which would be the perfect crossover between a Duke & an Adventure. Always safe rides and great trips! 😉 Cheers Eric from ME in Germany.
The 890 duke r gets brembo brakes and a bit more power. The 890 duke GP is a normal duke with different livery. The duke r is like 1300 euros more than the normal one. and the GP 300 euros.
R version gets adjustable suspension, steering stabilizer, 6 more HP, Brembo STYLEMA brakes, different bars, and Michelin power cup 2 tires.....well worth extra money imo
4:22 men will be men😂
How good is your pauze game 😁
4:22 you betrayed the beast 🤣

Those roads , did the romans paved them ?
You should test the 890 R next and compare them
Love it. You have to take a wee, and it's the bumpiest road known to man.
The main reason why new riders need to start on a lower CC bike is for COST of insurance and they need to get use to the weight.
Agree with you on insurance if you can't afford it my first bike was a triumph STRS cost £1200 for the year
I’ve never heared of someone choosing a bike because of insurance costs😂 good point though
Nice things to look at in that town 👍
Gotta love a ktm 🤙🏻

Your prayers has been answered. KTM is currently testing an 890 SMT and Husky is also testing a new Nuda 900..🥰😍🎉🎉🎉
790 is a better bang for buck. Cheaper because of the 890s, and everything comes stock with the 790 whereas u have to pay for in the 890.
Awesome just awesome, I love kTm😁.
Best allround fun pocket rocket you can get! Had to sell mine due to it beeing to cramped for my height…
How tall are you lol
@@Mancastle 1m90
@@Moto_Yelt same here, maybe slightly more. Did you try any other middleweights like the mt09 and street triple 765
@@Mancastle speed triple is nicer just the pegs are really high with low seat which make my legs cramped aswel. Mt is a pretty nice seating
Yes i Will liket super duke ktm 1290 mp r
Maybe that's what my life is missing, an extra boost of nitrogen 😂
Difference between the 890 r and 890 gp?
The 890 duke r gets brembo brakes and a bit more power. The 890 duke GP is a normal duke with different livery. The duke r is like 1300 euros more than the normal one. and the GP 300 euros.
R version gets adjustable suspension, steering stabilizer, 6 more HP, Brembo STYLEMA brakes, different bars, and Michelin power cup 2 tires.....well worth extra money imo
