The real question is why people who will never see a track in their life persist on buying bikes with clip-ons and pegs so high their heels touch their asses...
in my experience they have one major advantage, i.e. they're great for wind deflection at high speeds. If you've ever ridden for hours at high speed on a upright naked you'll know
This was an excellent video. Alternative title: BHP isn't the full story! KTM seems to have more real world applicability where ability to accelerate is favoured over top line speed.
@@quietlyloud Ok tough guy. How much do you earn per year? And ask me questions about motorcycles, difficult questions. Be ready to have a search engine, manufacturer's websites, stats, dyno charts, parts diagrams, and other places available to fact check me.
You ride torque and race with horsepower. So it makes more sense that a lower reving torquie motor would boggy to 100 faster then the high revving motor. The power curve is everything.
77kw is 105(ish) hp you’re proving specs right. The bigger engine will deliver more torque under the curve and hold out the 600 till sheer torque isn’t enough to win.....
Gsx s750 is actually pretty solid. Referring to the 2018 version. 112 hp and once you hit 6k rpm the thing flies. It's definitely heavier than the ktm 790, but it would still be a good race imo.

I have to say that gearing is playing the biggest role in this comparison. If they were similarly geared, the Ninja would walk the KTM. The KTM is no doubt a much better day to day bike with great hooligan potential. The Ninja a much better track weapon. Both of them great bikes.
The only mods that the zx6r had was an acro slip on - DNA air filter - power commander - and three extra teeth on the rear.. the KTM was stock as a rock however... we decided to do the roll on race because the KTM had the biggest advantage over the zx6 with its launch control.
To be fair I did not expect the 790 to be as fast as it actually is and is the Kawasski as fast as it could actually be. I used to have a 2013 ZX636R with mods it made a genuine 122hp at the wheel and was lighter and it was fast.
I tested both.. ktm is awesome The 2019 636 likewise is awesome and a brexit ! You either love it or hate it.. both ride great. Chalk n cheese to compare although the kwack did it over the looks for me and the brakes are phenomenal. I'm collecting my new 636 tomorrow but must say if i had to ride daily I'd have got the 790 !

790 tops out at about 145-150 mph or 230 ish kph so if we're figuring the ZX6R tops out at the usual 163 mph (260 ish kph) as most supersport 600's do basically the KTM will kill all supersports up until it his about 80% of its top speed at which aero comes into play and gearing and the supersports usually don't start to struggle til about 140 mph so about 85% of what they are capable of as well. It's not really fair to measure a supersport vs. the 790 in a straight line purely based on the fact that is not what it's meant for, the 790 is supposed to be a fun, fast, and commutable naked bike that you can take to the track on weekends and destroy other bikes with. I reckon the 790 would set a full 5 second + faster lap time than the ZX6R.
It s just the difference of how you look at it with kawi you get what you paid for and its worth every penny the traction control the abs they put on it is super
You can base it on specs, but you can't base accelleration solely on PEAK horsepower. There's 10000+ other rpms there at which the engine generates a different number of power.
Does anyone know if the 790 duke is being made in china? I saw a vid about the adventure version being made in China. I know the 390s are made in india, but curious if theyre chinese made. If so thats a no go for me, sadly
Joey Kimball most manufacturers components are made in asia. Harley Davidsons frames are made in China, BMW’s suspension is made in India... in all honesty I really wouldn’t worry about it because no matter what bike you jump on it’s guaranteed the majority of the bike will be in China/India/Pakistan ... list goes on
The KTM is the bike for nowadays. Light, manageable, with a lot of torque, compact (for traffic it's always good). The real problem with this bike it's between 1500 and 3000rpm. Has to install a fuel regulator to give more stability at low rpm.
Thanks for the tip. Im debating whether to buy the 790 duke and sell my sv650 which was my first bike and it doesnt suffer any low rpm fuel problems. Such a tough decision
It’s harder to lunch a supersport with stock gearing but still a good rider will lunch this thing faster while using a bit of clutch to get the revs up. But if it’s a surprise acceleration like in every day situation the duke will react faster...
Mmmm yeah maybe... probably when you hit the 180km mark, in all honesty I can’t see the 636 being quicker to 150km than MT09 or the Brutale 800.. maybe ktm 790 however it does have launch control, but we will see when we obtain the 2019 model for a video review.

I think even if you just looked at the specs you would know....KTM has 5-7bhp more (convert kw to hp mate) and weighs only 169 dry (not sure about the kawi but I'm sure it's more than that) and has more torque. Specs are enough I'd say. Oh and it's 10 years newer than the Kawasaki in the video with qhickshifters etc
RealOrbit - Australia there’s a difference between bhp and rwhp (rear wheel horsepower) in actual fact the zx6r pumps out more hp and both bikes weigh the same dry.
Not to complicate much, assuming same displacement - Smaller the number of cylinders, better the low-mid range. Bigger the number of cylinders better the mid-top end. KTM has 2 cylinder - So better low-mid Ninja has 4 cylinder - So better mid-top If you come up with a single cylinder bike with same displacement, that would have even better lows than KTM
actually wrong, theres a difference between a V-Twin and parallel twin, yes both twins do have a better midrange but a V-Twin has a good low to mid while a parallel twin is all around, better at mid-top though
@@chrome9455 everything is about speed on the streets isn't it? comfort-ability with speed is so much better in my mind. You 4 cylinders are just not fun at all unless you run it at the track, it sucks ass at low rpms

Now i might trade that and get a newer year model with ABS. Check into it. My sv is being sold. Daytona has spoiled me. The brakes, suspension, quickshifter are all top of the line stuff.
no four cylinder is a dog regardless of anything, if you know how to ride you will bring a monster out of anything, my dad was actually able to get a ninja 400 0-60 under 4 seconds cause he is a professional racer and knows how to properly take off. All it has is a akropovic exhaust, and my normal riding usually gets it 0-60 in 4.5 ish seconds when everything online says its 5 seconds barely under 5 if you do it perfect, why? because they don't know how to actually ride the bike.

You start this video with more bs as usual. Why did you give hores power on the gsxr but some stupid kilowatt. They both have horsepower ratings. Stop the bs
yes but the r6 is just fucking horrible for the street, the way the power is delivered and everything, it runs so smooth on the track when your able to have it at high rpms but the bike just HATES being at low rpms. So uncomfortable and just not smooth at all unless your running it hard
Herminigildo Dela Cruz Jr...Every way, except low-mid range power, torque, 0-100km/h -- 0-180km/h acceleration, comfortable upright seating position, so basically Kawasaki is better in everything that most people don't care about much :) Yes I like top speed fast runs, but that's about 1% of my riding miles, if that. Most people don't do much above 160-180km/h , without spending all of their pay checks on tickets.

Most people don't do much above 160-180km/h , without spending all of their pay checks on tickets. Nothing against Kawa, I just love when I twist the throttle and it feels like I sit on the back of an angry Rhino that's kicking the pants of a Lion. :D Previous owner of Yamaha FZ-10 and currently have the FZ-09
@@kutykutyka i do think you just said what iwas saying if you buy track bike you get zx6r you want to go arou nd the city and never want to try race track you get ktm just rememberthe kawi zx6r can do city driving on regular day and go to race trck on week end and like i said you get what you paid for so if you like to tour country get the otherbike
@@cyberpunk6554 It's an 11 year old zx6r not a current spec, no way that new 13k 790 is cheaper than a 5-6k used bike
