- Raw footage of Chris having some fun on track with Jeremy McWilliams riding the KTM 1390 Super Duke R, he still has time to wheelie every straight.

Chris Northover is a giggling hooligan😆. Jeremy McWilliams is a refined hooligan 🫖.
Both: come across as intelligent; have the skills; great fun to watch (especially together): and have screws loose 😵💫.
Love it!!!👍
Looked like fun! Jeremy kept looking back like he wasn't sure you could keep up
Has a few ding dongs with Jeremy myself over the years. I once owned one of the first Aprilia Mille R’s in the country, complete with shotgun piles, to my surprise I rode up behind another rider on the exact same bike. I wheelied past him then he returned the favour, we raced for a few miles then stopped in a small village for a chat..imagine my surprise when he took his helmet off and it was McWill. Then I had a good battle with him at our local track, I managed to just about stay with him..I was on my R1 track bike and he was on an SV650 super twin 😂
God is the track THAT dusty or are those video compression artifacts????
It's dusty, and looks scary as shit.
Came to the comments to ask the same question.
Here I was thinking it had rained and wasn't fully dried up.
Some of your line Chris, we're actually better than Jezza's through some corners. Of course, he was cruising by his standards... if 125 mph wheelies can ever be considered cruising!
watching jw and chris riding the SD makes me realise i took the right decision going for the 890r and not the super duke, esp for street riding. Seriously insane!
I wish they'd put that engine in a fully faired superbike.
Sounds like a project bike in the making!
Most of earth does too. Ktm needs to get it together.
@@crhussong and better quality control
I think the new 990 RC-R is the closest you're going to get.
I can see that they are making the sounds of wanting to. The RC990R is clearly pointing in that direction.
Their original objections appear to have been cancelled by modern technology, so I think that there is a possibility.
However, there is a big problem; the full on superbikes are losing market hand over fist. The sales of the SD GT have not been that good, if they had been, there'd have been an update when the last gen. SD R was released. If the factory has difficulty justifying an updated GT, a model which needed only minor work to bring it in line with the R, what chance is there of having a full fat SBK?
TBF, I think that Matighoffen probably will introduce a 1390GT simply on the grounds of "because the old one is starting to look old, and the conversion from R to GT shouldn't be too difficult.
But SBKs are a rapidly dwindling market and investing in the development of one from what would pretty much have to be scratch would NOT be cheap.
And why would KTM do it? The market is shrinking, the customer base is aging and ADVs now make up a huge portion of big cube bikes these days.Nor could they even race one, either.
i'm 61 and love sports bikes, yet have rarely owned them because they really are absolutely rubbish on the road. On the track? That's still too much unnecessary power for a track bike, the RC8R and RC990R are almost certainly going to be better track day bikes, and there really isn't any class for a 1390 Race bike. Knowing what I( know now, even if I had a 20y.o. body, I still wouldn't be looking at a SBK style version of this, it'd only be actual fun about once a year.
However, a GT version would be damned near as good in almost every respect, but still be a truly great GT AND faired sports bike AND general hooning idiocy bike that would still make a great all round bike for all year riding.
Currently, I'm seriously considering a 1290GT because they're selling at the same price as a stock R. I'm not convinced that I need such advanced wheelie control, especially as it won't allow you to get to the balance point, and because I've not had many problems controlling wheelies over the past 30 years. Yeah, the extra power and flexibility might be nice, but necessary? I'm far from convinced.
You should do a track day special at Llandow with Chris Harris (ex Top Gear). Bike vs Car, Chris vs Chris
Could've watched this for hours! Looks like he was just getting warmed up haha
Chris is a talented rider. No doubt.💯
Jeremy is just pissing with yer.
Of course he was!
He had super smooth lines and kept checking if chris was still there- he was. Chris is obviously really talented my guess he was out having fun and not looking at best lap times... great riding guys beyond my abilities.
Looks like Jeremy could use some mirrors on this bike.
McWilliams rides like I play on the Xbox!
There should be a 1390 sdr race series.....Chris would be in the points for sure 👍🏻😎
They did that when the SDR1290 first came out as a support to BSB meetings.
When I was but a wee lad....14, I had but a brand new Honda CB-100. I drove out to Draper Lake. It had hundreds of miles of dirt bike trails.
I met my neighbor, Who had a brand new CZ-400....and it was jetted perfectly. I blasted around the motocross track until they sent somebody out to get me.
Was it like that? 🤗
If Gollum rode a bike.....sorry,sorry, i have idolised Jeremy for years but i can't turn my imagination off.
I'm thinking 'this is the mans job', then wondering where i went wrong..
Not another ktm track day introduction video. June is almost over, and nobody's got one on the road yet!?
I want your job..
The only time this big powerful bikes can be unleashed.
McWilliams, an absolute legend!
You're having way too much fun on that KTM 😄
nice riding chris
Great riding!!!
JW such bike control
Looks like great fun 😂😂😊😊
Wish I could one day ride a couple laps on track, seems so much fun. I just can't afford it, nor have any riding buddies that would like to go. Oh well
Find someone to go ride Supermoto bikes with on a kart track. You get the flavor of track riding at a much lower price point. Alternatively, find a commercially set up track day or weekend in your area and ask for coaching as a newcomer. It doesn’t have to be all that expensive.
I've done track days by myself. Don't worry u soon get talking to people because you've all got the same thing in common. I did Mallory £69
👍👍😜💪💪💫
Does it do wheelies?
KTM: *_That's classified..._*
Me: _- Shut up and take my money!_
Is McWilliams still an antivaxxer, covid denier, and conspiracy theorist?
he looks healthy
I hope so!.
Vax and Covid conspiracy theories are becoming conspiracy facts.
Hopefully!
I'm guessing by your post, you're admitting a lot of things about yourself.
Shame it’s fatter than the Gen 3, that’s what puts me off it. The performance is fantastic though, I enjoyed the test ride.
It’s wider than the 1290 gen 3?
Like your good enough to notice a few extra pounds 😂
@@EpiceverythingProductions Yeah, look at it from the front. The wings have made it wider.
@@flamintasty I’ll have to give it a look when I see one. Thanks!
