Awesome bike and this looks like huge fun but sorry to be a complete bore here but this is said with the best of intentions and quite a few other experienced riders will feel the same way: 4:22 a car comes into view which wants to turn right to join the opposite oncoming lane. You decide to continue with your overtake... 4:27 you pass that car which luckily for you did not proceed with the turn because you would be dead. Sure you were back in your own lane at that point but it was a very fine if the car had made an aggressive entry to the road. Sure the bike is fun but don't drive hoping and praying that other motorists will drive flawlessly.
slt l ami halala je suis toujours aussi fan de tes videos que je regarde plusieur fois .quel moto quel matrise et quel paysage tout ca c est magnifique . j adore . un grand bravo a toi . hesite pas a faire encore des vieos je suis preneur.tchao
It's an automated red light, they have those in every village in Portugal. It's not made to stop any traffic or let pedestrians go, but to slow down traffic that was riding just a tiny bit more than 50km/h. Still, really not a good idea to just pass it at high speed
Olá, eu é que agradeço por ver os meus videos! Esta moto é mesmo o que se vê no video, bombástica! Muito fácil de conduzir, muito power, uma excelente moto mesmo para o dia a dia. Abraço
Your aggressive style could not be closer to mine. I bought the 2015 1290R and only put 800 miles on it. The bike is too small and I realize I don't like the naked feel. Sold the Duke and close to pulling the trigger on the 1290 Adventure T. I don't like the wind screen lines near the top. Is it less obstructive in person than appears on the video?
Hello Luis, merci pour ta video c'est un vrai plaisir ! question : comment ta SA 1290 par en wheeling aussi facilement en 3ième ? la mienne n'y arrive pas :( j'ai remarqué que tu avais placé sur off le TC et peut-être changé de pignon et couronne ? merci pour ton commentaire
Hello Philippe, Merci pour ton commentaire... Pour faire wheeling aussi facilement en 3ième le MTC il faut être dans le off... Ma moto elle est d´origine.... Merci beaucoup
résultat ! bof cela me fonctionne pas aussi bien que toi :( à partir de 5000 tours , j'ouvre à fond et ça me fonctionne pas merci pour ton aide et commentaire :)
Hello Philippe, mine can come up pretty easy and high in 3th, even with TC on (TC will then put it down as easy as it came up) BUT, it all depends on outside temperature. The lower the temp, the easier it becomes. When the temp rises up to, let me say, 22° Celsius and higher, it wheelies much more difficult to even not in 3th. But when it's 13° Celsius it becomes a whole other beast... What also might help, is sitting further back, and an almost empty gas tank...
LF had a pretty bad crash that was basically his fault because he was going to fast to stop...it’s irrelevant that the car moved out into his lane, a good rider plans for the unexpected...that said, I hope he’s still alive
Kees You have no idea what you are talking about, and am not the only one who has experience this problem, am sure you work for KTM dealer. P.S Calling an "idiot"don't eliminates the design flow.
1290 Super Adventure has a safety flaw in its design, the motorcycle has a major safety problem. I bought mine six month ago and since day one I have been experiencing head wobble at speed ranging from 100 to 120 mph. I contacted the dealer and they said “there is a software upgrade regarding the head wobble” I took the motorcycle to the dealer, after the software upgrade I discovered that the four setting for the damping is not working any more there is not difference in the performance between sports, street, comfort or off-road.
Kev.. The problem it started with a head wobble at high speed. keep in mind that all the setting worked just fine for the front shucks, like comfort, sports or street. So I went to the dealer complaining about the head wobble they said that KTM had a recall regarding this issue and they have a software upgrade and I need to do the upgrade immediately. So I agree to there terms. But to my surprise the eliminate all the shocks setting except sports which the shucks are always hard, however that did eliminate some head wobble but the problem still exist.
I will publish the VIN# of the bike and all the info regarding the dealer info and messages. I'm tired of this bike I have all the right to state my opinion. THIS BIKE IS CRAP.. DON'T BUY IT.
Nic changing the front tire solves the problem. I checked lots of reviews with similar issue. No need for software update or anything else. Just a new tire. And sorry, but this bike is simply awesome!
Those roads look like lots of fun :)
Dope 1290SA Vid again, dope bro, respect...

Go for the SA S. :)
Did you put traction control off to get these wheelies that high?
And power/suspension settings to sport/sport?
+Ton Verkleij
Yes, traction control must be off.
Suspension setting doesn't really matter and power setting at street or sport. Both work easily.
No danger of going over backwards? Do you keep your right foot ready on the back brake?
Ton Verkleij
There is certainly that danger, yes foot on/close to back brake.
Hello Luis,

Thank you for your comment, but it's strange :) Next time I try when the temperature is lower !
Do you have good visibility? Does not the windshield bother you ?
Yes, and no...;-)
That thing has grunt
I want one
Love the bike! Saving my pennies to get one hahah!
Is the speedometer KM/H or MPH ?
Hi...KM/H, thanks!
Supongo que le habrán sancionado a usted tras este video en el que se graba cometiendo infinidad de infracciones.
LF had a pretty bad crash that was basically his fault because he was going to fast to stop...it’s irrelevant that the car moved out into his lane, a good rider plans for the unexpected...that said, I hope he’s still alive
Yes, i m alive, thank you
Ronan, the acidente is not my fault
I don't recommend this bike it has a design flaw. Head wobble at high speed is a well known issue.
Nic : troll......is on every video....ignore.

Have the multistrada but looked at this one and the GT. I can not get used to the ugly styling of KTM. It all looks so clumsy put together.
