I have a 2018 690 duke and I am regularly tracking it for the last 3 years. This is exactly how I feel. I love going quickly through the gears and revving it’s guts out. It’s so addicting. It’s hell of fun of a bike to rip it around the track or basically anywhere. What a hoot! Cheers Yaal! What an amazing video and audio! Kudos.
Maybe the SDR should be given a chance to be ridden by Schaaf...I'm pretty sure KTM say you can skip a valve clearance service if an Austrian rides your bike like a nutjob xD
+Finnoctane ahahaha actually I think only solid Japanese quality from the 90s was made to survive the Schaaf-treatment for longer than a couple of weeks ;)
I've been enjoying your videos for quite a while and you have been one of my motivations to get a bike. Now that I own one, every time a video of yours pops up I need to go riding! Great video!!
Thank you. I can confirm the fact that the "old" generation is harder to ride. I tried the 2015 Duke R, and it vibrates a lot more, and isn't as smooth at the last one. Thanks to the balance cranckshaft added i guess.. Anyway, thx for all your cool videos.
I just purchased my 2014 KTM Duke 690 Supermoto last week. Mine only had 1,420 miles on it and is like new. I am also running the stock exhaust and can verify that it sounds just exactly like your video. I have only ridden 100 miles so far but the handling is pretty nice on my Duke. Happy trails and many happy rides. Guy in Columbia Mississippi
That was funnnnnnnn and worth waiting for. A single cylinder engine behaves so differently from a twin cylinder, jumping from one to the other must feel very strange. If there's one thing i don't need it's an "Error Counter", i wouldn't be safe riding because i'd be pressing the counter instead of concentrating on riding badly !! With me the more i think about riding well the worse i ride!!. Ride safe and keep it shiny side up.
+Jeremy Markham thanks Jeremy! This works best for me as well. Switching my brains off allows me to enter this relaxed yet focused state of mind which I need for riding :)
I love this video so much that I've watched it over 5 times now because the sound is so horny on speakers with a subwoofer and your the only one I found that uses the power of this beast 😍
Nice vid & congrats for your 15k subs! Whatever bike you ride, it's always very enjoyable to watch you riding on a beautiful curvy road. And your wheelies are as good as mine... 😉
Hey Shaaf, just stumbled upon your videos. Subscribed actually instantly at the end of watching this! At first i was convinced you are complete nutcase :p but you’ve got mad riding skills and are always in control. Now i wanted to ask you a question and get some of your thoughts. I’ve been riding for about 8 months now. Started with a 125cc bike but a 150cc has been my most ridden. None of these bikes have been my own but borrowed from friends. I’ve got my endorsement and everything, now just looking to get my own motorcycle. For a long time my mind was set on duke 390 but for the past one month i’ve not been able to get the duke 690 out of my head. I am now leaning towards the duke 690. What are your thoughts? Bear in mind that getting a bike in my country is not the easiest or cheapest thing to do, so i will be looking to keep it for at least 5 years to forever. If i go down the 690 route i plan to restrict it to the output of a 390, grow with it and then take it off. Almost like what i assume you did when you started riding. Sorry for the long comment, i really do hope you respond but understand if you can’t. Oh btw i’m also in my mid 20’s if that helps.
i wouldn't really recommend the 690 as a beginner bike but then again if you restrict it for a while you should be fine. After all it's very light weight and not very difficult to handle
I think your video and RJ's video sum up the two aspects of this bike. Either way, nice ride, next time i'll manage to catch a ride on one i'll have to get a section of "clean" road to push it above 100. It seems to behave differently. If that's the case, i might just buy one as a project bike for mini excursions. I actually liked the way it behaves. Now, if something could be done about the excessive (in my mind) vibrations/travel time. It would be perfect. I saw the counter technique once before, in our club there was this older guy, for me at the time, he had one just like it, but he Macgyvered it with a bicycle horn mount.
Error Encounter ala Berndt Spiegel :) finds super das du immer einen Google Maps Link dazustellst, anders wär ich wohl nie auf diese geniale Strecke gekommen! Danke!
+80tier Yeah, Bernt Spiegel wrote a great book! And it seems like there is also an English translation: Die obere Hälfte des Motorrads -> The Upper Half of the Motorcycle
Awsome vid I too have a 2010 Duke yea does feel abit slow through the tight corners but it still cleans up bigger bikes exiting the corner. What Camera are you using btw?
Damn neutroll's! Top video and it couldn't have come at a better time as I'm interested in test riding one. Also; do you own your own road over there which you can close to cars when ever you're riding? I only saw one car on that run!
The cool thing about the duke 690 and the smaller dukes is that you can ride them like a sports bike and go full lean or ride it like a supermoto with drifting.
enjoyed the ride and the good humor - ps if you want more twisties , head to the south of france - monaco end - we have a few with attitude ( and altitude)
+paulus maximusshow I haven't even seen 5% of the twisties Austria has to offer but thanks one day I'll make my way to France. I'll start with the French Alps though.
Super Video! Was mich interessieren würde: Habe seit kurzem eine Duke4 und beim schalten vom 5. in den 6. ist mir das gleiche passiert wie dir am anfang das nicht wirklich ein Gang drin ist bzw. weiß nicht wie ich das sonst nennen soll :D Ist das schlimm fürs Mototrrad bzw. ist das was typisches für den 690er Motor? Wenn du was weißt wäre super ;)
Hey Schaaf, I know it is an old video but... What is your overall result? I think about buying a 2013 one. Would you recommend it? If not, are there any other alternatives?
+klstrucker930419 the brakes on the R model are incredibly sharp, sharpest brakes I've ever used. And the handling was a lot more "willing" and easier for me. Other than that they feel very similar.
ich persönlich würde mir eine A2 Maschine nehmen, die man nicht drosseln muss. Aber die Entscheidung musst du selbst treffen, je nachdem, auf welcher Maschine du dich wohler fühlst. Die macht dann auch mehr Spaß.
I hope its ok to ask you something: whats ur opinion: I will get my drivers licens at age 36 meaning I can ride any bike with no limitations. For example should I start with Duke 390 with 48ps or a Duke 690 with 72ps. I am very interested on your opionion! Is the 690 to much for bloody beginner?
I read the description but why don't bother to hide the speed ? Lazyness, Mr. Schaaf ? ;) And damn, with this exhaust, it sound really good, as opposed to RJ's opinion on the stock one...
+Schaaf You've got a point I guess but like you, the policemen are lazy too and probably go where it's easier I believe (?). But anyway, great video as always ! :)
+Porkycheun At this point the law in Austria does not count a TH-cam video as decent evidence. But this could change any moment. I'm aware of this fact and I'm simply doing all of this here as long as I can :)
What was your view of the Duke? I was going to get one until i watched RJ's video and i hear the engine and it sounded terrible, whats your quick review of the bike?
+xMighty777 Exactly. Even RJ said in his video that people interested by the Duke should test ride it themselves. Bikes are like women: some are more desirable than the others, but at the end, each one will have a lover...
+BrenNnerX Servus! Ich weiß leider nur, dass es ein Sebring war. In dem 2 Monate später aus einem Riss schnell ein gigantisches Loch wurde. Sah mir nicht unbedingt nach ordentlicher Qualität aus... hat aber schön geklungen ;)
+Schaaf Ich wollte schon immer mal fragen, ist es denn nicht schädlich fürs Getriebe wenn man ohne Kupplung (hoch-)schaltet? In deinen videos machst dus fast immer und dein Getriebe scheint ja noch zu leben
+ninjanelly350 thanks Nelly! Oh man I would LOVE to ride a Harley one day! But at least a "normal" liter bike I should be able to get my hands on next season.
RJ hat auch ein Video mit einer 690er Duke hochgeladen, aber bei dir sieht es eher nach Fahrspaß aus. Er war wohl nicht so ganz zufrieden mit dem fahrbaren Untersatz. ;-)
@Schaaf i doubt it is the stock. I bought mine with stock and was really quite. Now I've installed the akrapovic and sound like yours in the clip. Naughty bike sound..😂
Hey :) Vielleicht ließt du das ja noch. Ich hab eine kurze Frage: und zwar bin ich 1,86 groß und damit leider zu groß für die meisten Bikes. Die neue duke 690 passt mir sowohl vom Kniewinkel als auch vom allgemeinen sitz nicht gut. Ich hab dann die smcr 690 probegefahren und da sitze ich sehr gut drauf, die ist aber sehr teuer. Die Duke III sieht von sitz der smcr geht ähnlich und deutlich günstiger als die smcr, deswegen überlege ich mir die zu kaufen und wollte mir da aber erstmal noch einen Rat holen. Vielen lieben dank schonmal :)
Also ich kenn das von meiner smc r, anfangs war ich so verkrampft beim Kurven fahren, speziell bei langsamen rechts kurven, dass ich oft gegen das Motorrad gearbeitet habe, also ich habe es nicht einfach umgelegt und eingelenkt, sondern hatte oft das problem , dass ich ewig weit über den scheitel gebremst habe und plötzlich fand ich mich auf der gegenfahrbahn wieder !
+schenebod geht mir doch gar nicht um die anderen. Ganz allgemein. Sollte ich mal verkrampft auf ner Maschine oben hocken oder verkrampfen, dann hör' ich auf. Weil dann macht man (wie du siehst) Fehler.
I always thought the suzukis also rolled into corners a weird way..... Why i dont own one... I just remembered.... I have to clean the oils off the left side of my rear..... Notice a bit of a slide yesterday on a sharp corner..... Better go do that right now..... Good job...u didnt wreck ur buds bike....
+Schaaf : I took a 80 grit sandpaper n sanded the stuck on slimmy crap off the chain side. Sometimes if it is oily i'll take a rag with a little gas n wipe it off first n them wipe dry. I tent to use a chainsaw bar n chain oil on my chain....Makes a bit of a mess if i hurry n now take time to wife the drippings off be4 i ride. But u know that little slide feeling kinda wakes my ass up a bit.....LOL
Awesomenessnessness!! I have the same bike, and yes it feels weard at first trying to go hard into tight bends. Feels like it wants to kill you by going strait on into the nearest tree. But its all in yr own head. The seating position just makes you feel yr on a dirtbike and you shouldnt be able to lay it right over....but once you get used to trailing the rear brake slightly and dropping it over its such a rush!! That single braaaap out of every bend is so addictive!!!! Braaaaaaaaap!!!
+Schaaf I wouldn't borrow you mine!! You too harsh! but If you liked the 690 I'm sure that you would like the MT-07. Still find surprising how you manage to go from a 48ps bike to one with much more power and still manage to ride it with a nice pace. Keep the videos coming out!
+ChinoisMc how am I too harsh? I'm riding this bike like it's meant to be ridden. The engine was warm enough for high-revvs. I'm even saving the clutch from wear because I don't use it for upshifts. This is a f*ckin KTM and not a vintage bike from the 1930s

I have a 2018 690 duke and I am regularly tracking it for the last 3 years. This is exactly how I feel. I love going quickly through the gears and revving it’s guts out. It’s so addicting. It’s hell of fun of a bike to rip it around the track or basically anywhere. What a hoot! Cheers Yaal!
What an amazing video and audio! Kudos.
Thanks man
Ok, here we go, fullscreen, 1080p 50fps, pants down...

that escalated quickly
Hold up...
😂
So the people who swap bikes with you... Do they even watch your videos???!! Hahaha
+shadetree surgeon hahaha I don't even swap bikes if they don't give me permission for a bit of hooliganism ;)
Good man... gotta get that disclaimer in there lol

It is really cool that you responded to every single comment on this video (which was awesome as always).

Did you test ride post 2016 models? Apparently less vibey, but I’m asking as never tried either pre or post 2016 Duke 690 models.

Thinking on you, sending good vibes, as you asked for. Keep fighting!
thanks a lot mate
the camera field of view is very nice!
+B Ø Ø M E R glad you liked it! Thanks!
The Duke certainly looks better in the high speed stuff than the slower corners. And by high speed I mean up to 45kph like you say in the description.
+troyboy986 :D :D
It sounds better than I thought it would. It actually sounds pretty similar to a 270 degree Parallel Twin at higher rpm
I enjoyed this video a lot. For a moment, I was driving that devil bike...love it!!!!. Subscribed....

Are the Duke690 bikes before 2016 noticeably/annoyingly vibey?
@@garyk8285 they are a bit. They are nervous and not good to slow down in traffic
Love the exhaust note & video. Wish the 690 DUKE was launched in India as well.
Guess, I'll just upgrade from my 2015 DUKE 390 to a 2020 790 ADV.
Sounds good to me
I think I definitely want one now

Hey Schaaf, I know it is an old video but... What is your overall result? I think about buying a 2013 one. Would you recommend it? If not, are there any other alternatives?
Personally I don't really like how it rides. Although I tried a 2014 690 Duke R model once as well. That felt quite a lot better to ride.

Hello friend, i have exact the same. I love my duke. What is your exhaust?

Have you tried a KTM 990?
His shaaf did you like the 690

I wonder what would be your impressions after riding the 2014 ktm 690 smc-r.
+klstrucker930419 the brakes on the R model are incredibly sharp, sharpest brakes I've ever used. And the handling was a lot more "willing" and easier for me. Other than that they feel very similar.

sorry I don't know that since this bike wasn't mine

so this is your new bike?

+Niklas L. to be fair here I added the bike-swap detail in the description 3 minutes after publishing the video.

What was your view of the Duke? I was going to get one until i watched RJ's video and i hear the engine and it sounded terrible, whats your quick review of the bike?
I'd only buy something like a Duke if I had decent twisty roads nearby. IMO the Duke makes sense (a lot though) in the twisties only.
+JStanger16 If u buy a Bike testride it yourself and dont let some Videos influence ur Decision.
Even if the producers are some nice guys :b
that's very true!
+xMighty777 Exactly. Even RJ said in his video that people interested by the Duke should test ride it themselves. Bikes are like women: some are more desirable than the others, but at the end, each one will have a lover...
How does this ride, comfort wise on the highway? Say 100-120 km/h for 45 mins to an hour?

Vielen lieben dank schonmal :)
Probefahren!

How to turn of the garbage poping up from down side of the screen?
very simple solution: just go and watch someone else's video
You mean you don't want extra information? Without it actually hiding any serious footage? Dear god, some people...
whats the ,exhaust name?

fesche fahrt... ich finde ja den sound super.
ich auch :)
Also ich kenn das von meiner smc r, anfangs war ich so verkrampft beim Kurven fahren, speziell bei langsamen rechts kurven, dass ich oft gegen das Motorrad gearbeitet habe, also ich habe es nicht einfach umgelegt und eingelenkt, sondern hatte oft das problem , dass ich ewig weit über den scheitel gebremst habe und plötzlich fand ich mich auf der gegenfahrbahn wieder !
+schenebod verkrampft war ich null. Da wär ich sofort stehengeblieben und abgestiegen, weil zu gefährlich.
Schaaf
naja das war auf straßen wo so gut wie nie jemand unterwegs ist, mittlerweile beweg ich das ding auch anders
+schenebod geht mir doch gar nicht um die anderen. Ganz allgemein. Sollte ich mal verkrampft auf ner Maschine oben hocken oder verkrampfen, dann hör' ich auf. Weil dann macht man (wie du siehst) Fehler.
I always thought the suzukis also rolled into corners a weird way.....
Why i dont own one...
I just remembered....
I have to clean the oils off the left side of my rear.....
Notice a bit of a slide yesterday on a sharp corner.....
Better go do that right now.....
Good job...u didnt wreck ur buds bike....
+Earl Tash better do that indeed! ;) Thanks Earl!
+Schaaf : I took a 80 grit sandpaper n sanded the stuck on slimmy crap off the chain side. Sometimes if it is oily i'll take a rag with a little gas n wipe it off first n them wipe dry. I tent to use a chainsaw bar n chain oil on my chain....Makes a bit of a mess if i hurry n now take time to wife the drippings off be4 i ride. But u know that little slide feeling kinda wakes my ass up a bit.....LOL
Awesomenessnessness!! I have the same bike, and yes it feels weard at first trying to go hard into tight bends. Feels like it wants to kill you by going strait on into the nearest tree. But its all in yr own head. The seating position just makes you feel yr on a dirtbike and you shouldnt be able to lay it right over....but once you get used to trailing the rear brake slightly and dropping it over its such a rush!! That single braaaap out of every bend is so addictive!!!! Braaaaaaaaap!!!
thanks for the comment!
Hi guys! Anyone can help me? I’m 6’2 (188cm) do u think I will fit this bike? Really want but never sit on it.
Yes you will
i like to see you drive a 4 cylinder bike
+22rember there is one video of me doing just that on my channel ;)
you should try an yamaha MT!
+ChinoisMc would love to! Maybe next year!
+Schaaf I wouldn't borrow you mine!! You too harsh! but If you liked the 690 I'm sure that you would like the MT-07. Still find surprising how you manage to go from a 48ps bike to one with much more power and still manage to ride it with a nice pace. Keep the videos coming out!
+ChinoisMc how am I too harsh? I'm riding this bike like it's meant to be ridden. The engine was warm enough for high-revvs. I'm even saving the clutch from wear because I don't use it for upshifts. This is a f*ckin KTM and not a vintage bike from the 1930s
+Schaaf I'm the only one allowed to ride my bike like that. anything above 20kph and 2k rpm is too harsh for me! lol
Du bist ein toller Fahrer .
Danke
Ich bin mir auf ein Mal gar nicht mehr so sicher, ob ich dir meine Kati anvertrauen würde, wenn ich Mal bei dir in der Gegend wäre :D
+edgesofsupermotard Angst vor artgerechter Haltung? ;)

+DeathstalkeR naw, I could never do tours on this thing :D
please help me with audio! i am getting tons of wind noise.. HILF :D
