Cracking trip Sam, I recently did 320 miles in a day that was enough for an old man. One of my previous work places we had a challenge when you were on holiday you had to bring back the worst piece or maybe that’s best piece of tat you could find. We had a tat shelf and an award at the end of the year for the worst thing on the shelf.
Haha it's not something I'd like to make a habit of! That's a lot of mileage to do in a few days! Haha love that idea
I'm not going to buy a 1390. I'm not going to buy a 1390. I'm not going to buy a 1390...
😂😂 that's what's been going through my head 24/7 since getting home
Get a discounted 1290, it’s pretty much the same thing.
said no one ever@@valebliz
Did a test ride on the 1390 and 1290 superduke both evo with the thought of this might be my next purchase.
Instead I found it to be quite underwhelming and nothing in it below 4-5000 rpm.
Rode a couple of hours with each one and was really disappointed overall.
Don't understand all the positive feedback from a lot of people.
Or the demo motorcycles I tested must have been really bad..
Great idea! Like the idea of that challenge! Looking forward to seeing how you get on in the next one! 👍
Thanks pal! Shame it didn't make it to YT before all the mugs were collected ha
@@SamVBikes yeah true! I like the food idea the best 🤣🤣🤣 !
Fuckin pissing myself watching this Sam , your like a big kid in a sweet shop . Great video keep up the good work 😂👍🏻
😂😂 I pretty much am! I had to cut out a LOT of me doing definitely legal speeds followed by quite a few swear words and giggling
Could the 1600 mile ride been better if you added a windscreen? I like big miles, but beating against my body on a fast steed like this for 1600 miles concerns me. Fun video! And now subscribed from CT.
It wasn't too bad to be honest. It would have been better to add a windscreen but the bike was a press bike from KTM so I didn't have time to buy one for it
Great video Sam Scotland 🏴 is brilliant on a bike especially the west coast I’ve done a lot riding in Spain 🇪🇸 which I love and the Alps all on my Super Duke Gts ( I’ve had a couple done over 50, 000miles on them and a very happy Ktm owner 😁) but Scotland is some of the best riding 👍👍
Thank you pal! Yeah I absolutely love it! Some of the little side roads you can venture off on are insane! It's a shame they are throwing up average speed checks so much now! Scotland and Wales are definitely up there!
LOVE the new duke. And the giggles it brings. Great video. You need a side kick to talk smack to like in the other videos. Cheers.
So do I! It's such a great bike!
Haha yes Joe couldn't come on this trip
1390 SAS must be so close to release. Potentially ready for the NEC later this year, best wait for then. I miss parts of the SD but prefer more of what comes with the adventure bike package.
Very intrigued to see how that ends up looking and what it's got on it. I'm sure I'll be able to twist KTMs arm on getting a demo once the big names have had it!
The SDR is surprisingly good as a tourer. I have my 1290 EVO set up with the KTM saddlebags and tailbag, heated grips, Puig windscreen and bar riders from the adventure series. I’m cooler weather I put the hand guards on. And yes, the EVO’s suspension is so worth the money. Love that bright orange 1390.
I was genuinely really shocked at how comfortable it was. Just seemed to take everything in it's stride like it was designed to do exactly that
Nice one Sam, put all the miles on it 🙂
More coming!! Haha
Epic mate this will be a good wee series. Gutted I couldn't meet up with you..
Hope there was no more casualties and a moments silence for the wee bird from last time on the loop😢
Yeah shame you couldn't come out but was good nonetheless! I could have done with someone to judge my Scottish accent in the moment 😂
No more bird fatalities haha! No foccacia
@SamVBikes haha you mean Oyster Catcher! Oh we are all judging that accent 😳
😂😂😂
The accent is spot on pal.. don't know what you mean ha
@SamVBikes yeah...no it wasn't but get some points for trying haha
Got some good stuff for finding that mug in Wales 😁😁 great video!!!
Haha yeah you did well! First one to find one too
Great video! Which colour would you pick if it was your own 1390?
I'd definitely lean towards black. Just looks more subtle. Plus when I inevitably buy one and put a MotoProWorks wrap on it.. the orange would stand out around the edge of the decals
The front light looks like the Predator when he takes it's helmet off 😅
Haha! That's what my dad said!
Hi Sam, that looks like an amazing bike, I'm looking forward to your summary at the end. Nice idea for a giveaway competition too 👍
I'm sure you can guess my thoughts already 😂😂
Shame the competition was over before it even got to TH-cam. I'll have to do another one which is only on YT!
@@SamVBikes sounds like a good idea to do a YT only competition mate, it will give everyone a chance. I'm looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the great work on the channel mate it's an entertaining watch 👍
Definitely pal! I'll have to think of something that will stand the test of time as It will take a week or two to get the vids edited! Thank you mate! Appreciate it!
@@SamVBikes you're welcome. Have a good week 👍
You too pal 💪🏼
lol dude, haggis, beans and then coffee on top, yeah i would have had to go also LOL 🤣 i really like the front end on that bike, although not my thing i think it looks really good! "ride like a bit of a tit" 😂 i'm going to remember that line!
Haha! Once you get past 30 years old.. it alllll has much more impact on what you can cope with 😂
@@SamVBikes 😂
That bush you out the mug under is probably the lay-bys pee bush 😮😂
Thought it smelt funky 😂
Amazing. People actually went looking for an empty cup with no recreational beverage in it?
Haha yep! Although Mad4Bikes sent some very good stuff as a prize. Disc lock, cleaners, chain lube, neck buffs and all sorts!
I can’t understand how you ever survived a 1390 superduke R. Did you survive?
It's a question I ask myself regularly.. am I still alive? Not sure
@@SamVBikes my theory is that you’re suffering from pressiae bikeotis. But as soon as you get on your own it will kill you.
That sounds like a very good reason to buy one.. for health
@@SamVBikes no, only the pressius bikes will keep you alive. You know it to be true
Looking forward to the next gen GT. I love the Adventure S but I need a 17” wheel. It’s like a service dog for me. Still furious that stewardess wouldn’t let me on the plane with it. 🛞
What a place for you to try out that wee monster. Glen Coe is a dream of a place, what is not to love! Glad you had your fun in my beautiful home country, despite yer shitty Scottish accent!
Haha thank you! The accent is definitely a work in progress 😂
all the hate that KTM is getting at the moment is a shame, I tell people go ride one and get back to me
KTM always seems to get hate. People seem to enjoy hating the brand for no valid reason. The new 1300GS has had a huge amount of issues. Even new model Honda's are having a load of issues, which is meant to be the 'reliable' brand.. but you barely hear about that. One tiny issue on a KTM and everyone blows it up into a worldwide hate train
If I was ordering a kebab I'd pick a bike that wouldn't break down on the way. I want that donner baby...
Lucky this didn't break down then
@@SamVBikes not yet mucca
@@SamVBikes It's great that yours is one of the 'good ones' I think most people in the bike riding industry has been mugged off by KTM.
My Super Adventure is about to hit 50k miles without an issue, and this loaner did 1600 miles without issue too. I know a lot of people with KTMs that have never had an issue and equally, know many people with Triumph's, BMW's, Honda's etc who have had nothing but problems. Get a good dealer and you'll be fine
@@SamVBikes Yep of course yours did. I know of dealerships that won't take a PX unless it's a 1290. Most of them are turds.
Squirtage 🤩
😂😂
