With all the crazy sad stuff that’s going on in the world. Thank you for always making uplifting happy content.
Absolutely love my 690. Its not a highway bike, but get it in the mountain twisties, and its a demon. I agree with you on the peg positions, and screen issue. I think its obvious it should be hinged. The foot position is much better with the optional rear sets.
One gripe about the video. Every acceleration you did, you swapped to the vehicle mounted DSLR and I didn't get to see that. :(
canyonrunner331 drove me nuts, open it up and keep the helmet view
Really? 690, single cyl? That’s gonna be a freaking pull on lower rpm. Too much for a beginner rider for me
Rhn Gf I got the 690 duke r as my first bike, u can definitely start on it
ktm 690 enduro r... single cyl too
Ktm 690 SMCR ... genius machine!
U should get 650-700cc, Cause they have a lot of torque so u dont get bored like u would on a 250-500cc
my wife is starting on this thing, she loves it, and shes 5ft 120
I love the simplicity
Wohooo, some more C2W =D You made my day Chase. Have a great weekend.
Chase, anyway for first rides you can continue to give the bike stats with the beginning panoramic shots? having the general price, engine type size, fun facts was such a cool addition in the past!
You'll be happy to know I'm in the process of working on something like that now!
I love that duke! Love more the R versión, but its awesome, nice video
One of my favorite looking bikes of all time. Though I'd remove the decals.
As it seems like we're on a KTM marathon I'm crossing my fingers to see the new superduke next🤞🏽
all ur videos are the best out there. Keep up man
That has got to be the worst looking design and placement of a CAT system I have ever seen...first thing to do after buying this is to buy a full exhaust system lol
Yep of course. My system is on his way XD
emudshit so true, i replaced mine with leovince decat, so much better looking and sound th-cam.com/video/uK780_njmh4/w-d-xo.html
First thing to do is buy an FZ-07. Looks better and probably performs better too. I mean why does a 700cc bike have skinny tires like that? I don't like it.
Ace Why would you buy a low-end budget bike when you can get something that has better quality components. It also performs better too. :)
Niklas better quality than Yamaha????? We're talking about ktm here. Ktm probably has the worst quality in the motorcycle industry. Yes their fit and finish is nice but their reliability is terrible.
Making up for all the time you haven’t had access to the KTM’s, Chase? Also, I have heard that the 790 might not replace the 690, but instead compete with the FZ-09 while the 690 competes with the FZ-07... we’ll have to see.
daniel thompson no the 690 Duke is still there only the 690 smcr is stopped being produced. The Duke just got a reworked engine (its in the Husqvarna 701 too) and maybe at the end of the year a new 690 smcr with the new 701 frame and engine comes out. You can find pictures of the prototypes online.
Nice content but you have to cut down on the 3rd person shots. Especially when you say watch this and I can’t see what you are talking about
Есть пара обзоров на этот мот, сезон откатал , сейчас продаю. Подрос до СМЦ 690, но еще один видосик про дюк успею снять. Мот в целом понравился
Chase! great review as always, if possible, please mention what tyres are one each review you make, and let us know how the tyres feel :D I think this is very useful
Nice review Dude! I have this bike and the screen position sucks but you quickly get used to it. Foot brake and gear selector levers are adjustable. But, as a bike reviewer how can you know so little about this bike?? You're not sure if it's a single!!?? Unsure about the ABS!? Research Chase. Research.
He should know one exhaust pipe equals one cylinder.
i bet a bar damper and a small windscreen would tame a lot of the criticism . cool bike
690 all day
Great Review. I think about getting the Duke 690 as a temporary bike until the 790 ADV is released. Still not sure tho if 390 or 690... What do you think about longer tours (2-5h). I guess the 690 is a bit more comfortable, right? (But both suck with the wind)
So pumped for the 1290 SuperDuke GT!!! Hopefully the dealer there lets you soon :)
I bought the R version of the duke, first thing I changed was the CAT and the position of the shifter
Do you even read up on the bike you'll test, or is the concept a "lets make a video about whatever"? Wrong info right off the bat. That's a 2017 model.
Hundre It is a 2017
Hundre Yeah a lot of times it seems like he just jumped on it and knows nothing or just the bare minimum about it.
Everyone is a motor journalists these days. He wasn't even sure it was a single.
As he said before, “First Rides” aren’t reviews of the bikes, it’s from the point of view of someone who just hops on the bike for the first time with some knowledge of it.
WayTooFast
A first ride doesn’t mean ignorant... anyone that jumps on a new motorcycle without having reviewed specs and checked for oddball items compared to their bike (or someone knowledgeable pointing out differences to them) is a fool...
The more I hear his comments, the more I think I need to go listen to a different reviewer (revzilla or F9) to find out the real deal....
The number of exhaust pipes should be a good indication of cylinders!
Why your music always so damn loud?
Chase, Dude! You have to first ride a Honda CBR650F or CB650F. They both look amazing and I'm curious of your opinion about how they ride and if they'd be a first bike option in the same league as the fz-07.
Well this is ironic. I finally watched the rc8 review a couple hours ago. And now here we are
13:00 did you mean you thaught it only had ABS in the front?
honestly i prefer the old looking 690 R that was a beast this one not so much better save up and buy the 790 DUKE
I own a 2016 690 duke which is the same as the 2018. The track pack option is great to have it gives you three modes and you can turn off ABS and traction control. The TFT you kinda get used to leaning to see it.Biggest complaints I have are.
Wind
Not very much top end tops,out at 118mph
Kickstand sucks bad a little wind and the bike tries to fall over.
Sounds like a dirt bike even with the Akro TI exhaust
Definitely not for highway riding.
*Takes a naked upright bike on the highway* Is amazed by it being windy 😂
Looks like a wheelie machine :)
Trust me, it is :)
It's honestly a bit ugly imo.
Triggered lol?
Because you only get the ugly one in the US... You need to see the 690 Duke R.
A bit ugly? A lot ugly😂
Agreed, needs more orange also...
I realize it's based on this bike, but would you be able to do the vitpilen 701 too? It'd be cool if you could do a sort of compare and contrast
Hi Chase, are you able to share what settings you use for your gopro. I recently got one and like the quality you have in your vids
NEED OPNIONS.
I’m thinking of getting this bike for my first bike. I grew up riding dirt bikes and have a calling for a sport. It’s been years since I have been on a motorcycle but I feel the reckluse clutch , good seat height, I’m 5,10 , and not to mention the easy and intermediate options of power. I know that my right hand is the most important tool on the bike. I am 22 and beginning the starting safety course soon. I feel I can handle it but have gotten negative feedback. Please give me your feedback.
FINALLY! Thanks Chase! Requested this beast sooooo many times. Finally my bike (well not exactly, mine is the ignorant 2012 model, without any control except for ABS)
As alway, NICE WORK!
Greets from ITALY! Love you!
i hate my smc 690 but an extra duke 690 yeah why not. cant drive slow, it overheats in traffic, a lot of engine issues, expensive oil good gearing, always highway, 50kw hey that's a bomb. in city it overheats and all cars are to slow.
Could you test a few supermotos/enduros
Hahaha! Finally chaseontwowheels, but Ive already bought this bike and sold it, you are too late :)
Were you happy with your 690? I've been looking at getting a used one as a first road bike, I grew up riding dirt bikes. 5'11 155 lbs
wow, good circus act... might help to tone down the salesmanship and gain some knowledge and history of KTM and what it means to KTMers.... kindly of embarrassing to watch dude!
Do the 790 right when it comes out! I'm waiting For it so much! Keep up the great work!
It's already out in some places. At least it's there at my local dealer (Germany).
Chase you should really buy different gloves. the ones you are wearing won´t protect you nearly enough if you ever go down.
Dude that's in Wilkesboro!?
I live not too far from there!
I have this bike. It does have some niggles:
1. Instrument cluster is very hard to read. You can't even tilt the display.
2. The paint quality is not the best. After 300km I could scrape the color from the complete filler cap and was totally pissed. I didn't even use it.
3. Terrible brake lever and gear lever position. TERRIBLE! You can read this in EVERY Video that they are much too high. Don't know why they don't solve this...
4. KTM parts are very expensive! eg. Fender eliminator
5. Expensive servicing costs
But basically a good beginners bike with a big fun factor and only 148kg 😁
I mean let's be fair though, if you buy any dealer/manufacturer specific accessory, you're gonna pay an arm and a leg. You should probably go with aftermarket fender eliminators or make your own, not too difficult. As for servicing, just stick to Japanese.
It's piss easy to service yourself and you can adjust the position of the levers, another trick is inverting the peg mounts.
Servicing price is the same as any bike, and parts a like 1/2 of japanese bikes. Yes, from my local dealer here in Norway, which is a "expensive" country appearantly.
You tube reviewers all do it..... Tell us how tall you are before going on about the fucking riding position.... Lanky guys need to know this shit. Thank you.
Why would a motorcycle only have ABS on one wheel? How would that even work? lol Come on man.
Hi frend .... How is you opinion about two this bikes kmt 390 duke and 690 duke .... 690 duke is much beter ?
Wow how tall is he?
Do they still make the 690 duke?
Please do a review of the cbr 650f!!!
Btw chase i think you can adjust the shift and brake pedals on ktm's not sure though
"Im pretty sure that's a single cylinder." Seriously dude?
Can you try and get the 790? Kinda curious about the differences other than the body work.
Wonder if it’ll break down like its older version. Ktm pump issues etc
Review the duke 790 once its released!
It has the Same motor in it as the 690 enduro/sm. Of course its going to vibrate, Its essentially a big dirtbike motor.
Georgia Property Depot no it doesnt. It got reworked. The engine now puts out 74HP, revs higher and they put a second balance shaft on it. The 2017/18 701 has the same engine. You really feel the difference with the vibration (but its still vibrating alot)
JANIK ~ EEZY yea that reworked it. But it still the same motor.
Chase i got a 2013 300 ninja... im thinking on getin a sv650 or ninja 650 ... i live in the city of Philadelphia
Assuming you’ve put in a solid amount of seat time and are pushing the 300 to its limits comfortably. Both of those bikes are solid moves, the SV has a snappier throttle and higher overall power, while the ninja is smoother but lower overall power. If you want a unicycle go with the wild card MT-07.
chaseontwowheels 🤔 thanks for the help big guy ..i appreciate it
mr somthinbasic215 if price a consideration. The sv650 for the faired version 2005-2012 go for around £2000-£3000 while ninja 650 is £3000-£5000. The sv650 hasn't changed much, while the ninja 650 has had an overhaul a few years ago.
You can put lots of mods on the sv to make it a better bike than the ninja 650 for the price.
They are also the same power and torque as each other 70-71hp and torque is the exact same.
Ben climo thank you Very much
mr somthinbasic215 no problem. Im going though the same steps as well and getting an sv650. So i know how annoying it is.
How bad were the vibes?
waiting for 790 review
OK I love the video ..but why is it that every time you accelerate and I would like to see the the performance from chest mount angle accelerating ...you switch to a very boring camera view from far away that obviously it doesn't have anything to do with the acceleration? It really bothered me and you did that in the beginning and multiple other times...its like the excitement of the video was stripped away at times :-(
So im 5'5"....so I do a bit of highway driving to school, like 10 miles or so, but mostly city type driving...so should I go with the 390, 690, or any other recommendations? As long as its a naked bike, then Im cool with it
Hey chase! I was saying this for some while now but can you make one more video on Ninja 300? You know with new settings you made for the first ride and reviews. P.s it was like 5 years ago you made Ninja 300 video. I hope this message reaches you and i would be waiting. Cheers!
If you enjoy riding your bike thinking about the numbers and specs, buy some thing else. If you enjoy à unique feeling of riding, it cannot be beat. All the other 700 ish competion dont even come close.
ABS front and back
Please review ktm super duke 1290 2017 model.
waiting for 790 review
KTM is over hyped except the dirt bikes.
I imagine it's not you responsible for it but the opposite mirrors are probably left on the right. And right on the left ... still works just plain ugly
I stopped watching after 30 seconds when you said I am pretty sure this is a single cylinder- I mean, know the bike before you start
bro can u ride ktm duke 390 old version or the ktm duke 200 and do first ride video please??
How much is the 690 there at mountain Motorsport
could you do a review on a cbr650f?
Thanks for honoring my request chase 👍
Hi, great review. I have one, and I just add a good windshield, and a smoked one. Then two problems less. No wind problem any longer, and I can see the tft without troubles, as the light of the sun doesn't affect it. And of course, I have modified the action of the two pedals. It's quite easy. Thanks a lot for this review.
compared to the monster 797 you've ridden, what would you recommend chase? ktm 690 or monster 797?
I love how the 390 looks like a mini 1290
You should try to get the Duke 790 for a First Ride as well.
Hey chase I can’t find the Atlanta meetup video. When is it again? What video was it? Thanks In Advance
Please ride the rebel 500. I know it isn’t your style. But I would like your opinion on the redesign
I was at MMS Marietta on Thursday. I bought AL’s Wee Strom. He said he knew you. He’s the guy who does their web photos.
I just bought a 2017 690 Duke R a couple of months back. The rearsets on the R totally transform the riding position and solve the nasty rear brake and shift lever positions.
I have a 2013 690R. It's an awesome bike. Also one of the funniest track bikes I have ever ridden. Braking power and corner entry speed is just out of this world..
How can the 790 be the replacement for the 690 if the 790 has a twin cylinder engine?
I think you have to find some twisties. That bike is absolutely build for that kind of bike!
Why do you have Ducati following you around? Don't they trust you anymore?
You should ride a Kim 625 Lc4
Is take the 390, updated looks takes it. But saying that, I'd take the 790 over both!
hi chase,, it would be great if you could please make a review on the new ninja 650...
For real ive never seen someone talk about wind soo much.....😂😂😂
here in the u.k. the ktm 690 duke was redesigned this year and came out when the 390 did
And now try the Husqvarna vitpilen 701 and compere them
Ooh! I waited so loooong for u to test my bike😍
Me too bro!! Our bike!!
nonono MY bike!
Andrew Miller no, very easy, it changes when go from low light to much light
My bike too! But mine is a 2017 , which is what I thought Chase tested but he says 2018. So far only one time was the display hard to see for me, but it is directly related to sun position relative to the display. I use it as a commuter but my highway portion is only about 8 miles ~80 MPH. Chase is right as it can wear you out after bit, but not so much that my remaining 4 miles to the house somehow turns into 20 miles of back road twisties. So light, so nimble, what a joy.
Jeff Rogers I have a Puig windscreen on my D690R. It's really helpful, check it out.
I’m 6’ 5” and I fit really nice on the bike . It’s fairly comfortable
Wow im really fucking early
They could've named it the KTM Duke 69.
Feels like a tractor,nuff said :D
Would not long distance on this xD
But its sooo much fun tho....
Try the 790 duke , its a great fun hooligan bike.
its the biggest single cylinder engine chase ;)
anubra89 Nah, Zabel 700, 700cc two stroke
Go back to the 90s and there was the Suzuki DR800 Big
Biggest still produced single cylinder bike
also its called 690 but its a 700cc bike...
But chase, where is the adventure series ?!?!??! - whining viewer
Where is ktm 790 duke test?
where is a 790 duke for me to ride? They are not available in the states until sometime this fall.
@@chaseontwowheels sad 😔
