Couldn't agree with your summary more RJ - Having recently ridden the GT and the Super Duke R, and as a GS owner, you are spot-on. All are excellent bikes, but if you just want fun then the Super Duke R is the way to go....what a nuts machine!!! Loved it....
I really enjoy listening to what you have to say RJ. Even though you insist that you let the bikes do the talking, you've definitely come a long way since the early days.
I see you are a passionate about bikes but I enjoy the channel more when it was all about nuda. It is very good you are able to have all these bikes and ride them fulfilling your dreams. For me, as a rider I now find this a little bit obscene. You can bring more good and happiness to others and still be the wonderful rider you are. Keep inspiring RJ
Holy huge difference in exhaust notes, wow! I'm sure the R sounds fabulous in person. :-) You should do more videos with Mrs. RJ going along, that'd be fun!
RJ, I think if you rode a stock 2016 1290R instead of yours, you might find it more similar to the GT. The power specs of 1290R reduced after the time you bought so it mightve become gentler too. And the seat of GT is wider than R isnt it? That also makes it feel taller when you put your foot down.
I always wondered how you get two bikes for comparo. I mean how do you get the two bikes where you are going to show them? Mrs. RJ. rides one of them!! She can't talk but she can ride. ;-)
I just realised that the Royal Jordanian text at the beginning uses the same font as Red Dead Redemption, I don't know if it's intentional or not, but if it is, I love you even more than before.
+1 for the pillion comfort. Rode 2 up to Valencia on my GT. She discarded the airhawk as the standard pad was rated very comfortable even over a 350 mile day...her normal perch is a K1600!
Very informative. Great comparison, thanks. What would your 2 cents be on all the criticism KTM gets in terms of reliability ? I really want to get an adventure model from them but am a bit hesitant because I have no previous KTM experience.
When comparing the difference between these two bikes, I'm finding very little differences between them other than KTM is offering to trade my 2016 'R' with Full Extras and 25,000km for their 'GT' Standard with 9,600km which has the slightly Higher Windscreen for $6,000... According to KTM Specs, the main difference is the Fuel Capacity which the 'GT' has 22-liters vs 18 liters. 1290-GT vs 1290-R... Fuel Capacity: 22.00-litres/5.81 gallons vs 18.00-litres/4.76 gallons Seat: Touring vs Standard HP: 173hp vs 180hp Weight: 205kg vs 195kg Base Price: €18.999 vs €17.399 I decided to keep my SD-R for these obvious reasons...
Hello RJ. How do you compare the GT with S1000XR if you had chance to drove it. I think it's the better comparison than the BMW GS model if you excuse the engine ccm. Thanks. Ride safe!
I have a major problem, friends. Rode the SuperAdv S which I rode last year and liked it. Tried the new GT and it blew me away. The price however doesnt doesnt appeal to me. How does the latest SDR compare to the new GT? Worth buying a 2nd hand SDR and saving a few thousand? The GT is still new and commanding £16700 everywhere. Thanks.
@@royaljordanian Thanks. I just rode the older GT so can do a quick comparison. Fundamentally, it's the same bike. You would find it difficult to know the difference unless you looked at the clocks or didn't have access to down quickshifting. The newer bike is a bit smoother at low speed and has better fuelling. Other than that, almost identical.
RJ, I wanted to ask for some time, have you ever ridden then BMW S1000XR and what do you think of that?I think that bike could be compared to the gt and not the GS, as people mentioned before
alright, fair enough, I missed that video of yours somehow :) I have test driven it, and it blew me away.I liked it more than the multistrada.Now I will have to ride and gt, and decide.But it will be one of those two. thanks for a lot for the review mate.cheers
How would you compare the GT to S1000XR? They seem to be in similar class... I suppose XR is more usable for day to day riding? Cheers from Serbia mr. RJ! :)
Nuda! I can see the appeal of the GT, but if I could ride I would want to try the R. Good one RJ thanks so much for sharing. Oh yes and thank you Ms. RJ for your input - a lady's POV is always nice.
I really like the GT over the R.Wish i could buy the GT along with an S1000R, those have to be two of my dream bikes currently. They change a lot.... lol, when you can't afford any of them its easy to say you want them all at one point or another.
That GT has something to it that i can't really explain... It's got a beautiful aggressive and composed style, despite not being a straightforward good looking bike, if that makes any sense. I'm still undecided if I will go for it, or the new 1290 or the GS... Decisions...Decisions... These new KTM's as far as I'm concerned, are the most interesting bikes at the moment.
Can you please do review of ktm duke 390-2017 i am thinking to buy one i am driving maxi scooters and i want to go for new 390 but i want a you to make review for it if you can please,i wish you all best on road!
I'm a simple man. I see rj video I like it.
Bike Life Me too always good content.
I'm the man that tells you stuff like : when you last were original, was when you came out of your mom.
Couldn't agree with your summary more RJ - Having recently ridden the GT and the Super Duke R, and as a GS owner, you are spot-on. All are excellent bikes, but if you just want fun then the Super Duke R is the way to go....what a nuts machine!!! Loved it....
I like both.. but the 1290r in black looks amazing
the fucking quality in rj's vids are top notch
That overhead shot was priceless. Great job! That demonstrated the physical differences better than anything I've previously seen.
Thanx RJ for the side and especially the overhead views. Best video showing the differences in the two bikes!
My 89 year old dad rides a ktm super duke he loves it,hes good at doing wheelies as well!
I really enjoy listening to what you have to say RJ. Even though you insist that you let the bikes do the talking, you've definitely come a long way since the early days.
Good video as always RJ, loved the camera angles. Cheers from Costa Rica!
I love your vids RJ. You make me feel like its already summer cause I'm waiting to hit the road with my Suzuki :)
I see you are a passionate about bikes but I enjoy the channel more when it was all about nuda. It is very good you are able to have all these bikes and ride them fulfilling your dreams.

may I ask what that box at 5:32 is in the exhaust if it is not a catalyst
Bike Life It's just an additional resonator to cut down some of the noise. These bikes a brutally loud straight through decat.
Coldfin9er thanks.
Old intro, nostalgia
I like both but still think rj's nuda is the boss
HEll yeah 100 percent!
Hi RJ,
Always nice to see your videos , whatever the content . I love it .
I get my new r 1200 gsa within 14 days . Greetings from Belgium !!!
Hello Royal Jordanian! I really love your video's. You make me everyday happy! I love the sound of your motorcycles to. You are awesome!
In my opinion
1) the nuda (No one can deny this)
2) the BMW s1000
3) the ktm 1290r
4) grom
5) any other bike he owns and rides
Holy huge difference in exhaust notes, wow! I'm sure the R sounds fabulous in person. :-)
You should do more videos with Mrs. RJ going along, that'd be fun!
I'm liking the old intro, have missed it!
Great video - Appreciate all the effort and work you put into these review videos it's very nice, keep up the good work! :)
Mrs.Rj kept getting distracted by all the shops haha...nice video RJ.. cheers and ride safe
Thanks for your (and the Mrs.) opinion, RJ. Might give you the opportunity to reconsider your collection... 😉
RJ, I think if you rode a stock 2016 1290R instead of yours, you might find it more similar to the GT. The power specs of 1290R reduced after the time you bought so it mightve become gentler too. And the seat of GT is wider than R isnt it? That also makes it feel taller when you put your foot down.
Drone skills RJ !
1290R !!!!! good job and nice video, Greetings
I always wondered how you get two bikes for comparo. I mean how do you get the two bikes where you are going to show them? Mrs. RJ. rides one of them!! She can't talk but she can ride. ;-)
Really liked the side by side RJ👍 GT has its benefits but the R is just more my style👌😎
whats ur drone setup. it looks great
I like the mix of intros
I just realised that the Royal Jordanian text at the beginning uses the same font as Red Dead Redemption, I don't know if it's intentional or not, but if it is, I love you even more than before.
A new drone RJ? I don't think I've seen you using a drone before. Cool shots man.
RJ what are you thought about the ducati hypermotard? I'm thinking about getting one since it look similar to the nuda
Not implying it will happen to you but watch Snowcat channel (older videos when he had one), it will give you an idea...
Porkycheun breakdowns 😂😂
RJ, she has no idea, she was only checking out all the shop on Sloane Street - & good luck with that :)
have you sold the GT ? i was in Fowlers and they have one for sale , it has the touratech iphone cradle , LM66 ? looks a good buy
think Mrs rj was enjoying the window shopping as well.
I'm in London. What are the best places to go to? And more or less, where does RJ rides around?
did you ride them both to the carpark as well, rj?
respect man, level circus
Good editing and review
If you had to choose one of your bikes which one would be? And also which one you believe is the best for everyday use? Thanks and keep up!
What did you think about that pirelli angel gt´s?
rj, I think you should do a review on the ktm 990
+1 for the pillion comfort. Rode 2 up to Valencia on my GT. She discarded the airhawk as the standard pad was rated very comfortable even over a 350 mile day...her normal perch is a K1600!
Need one of each in the garage!

Nice video👍 Royal what’s your job in London ?
what bike does RJ have his sights on next?
I just love the 2. They're suply amazing
RJ, What are you recording with, and do you do any color grading on your footage? Thanks in advance!
RJ, I wanted to ask for some time, have you ever ridden then BMW S1000XR and what do you think of that?I think that bike could be compared to the gt and not the GS, as people mentioned before

Awww...its like a couple....i love both of them
Would you do a tour on the nuda?
Is there any giveaway event sir?
How would you compare the GT to S1000XR? They seem to be in similar class... I suppose XR is more usable for day to day riding? Cheers from Serbia mr. RJ! :)
wow you own both? what a life!!! do both bikes run low RPM at 70-80mph?
Is the R ok for commuting??
im actually surprised you disnt get a gs yet
Nuda! I can see the appeal of the GT, but if I could ride I would want to try the R. Good one RJ thanks so much for sharing. Oh yes and thank you Ms. RJ for your input - a lady's POV is always nice.
The full exhaust system is sooo much better. Well worth having done.
Would like to hear what u think about the new Super Adventure. Might be a better component to the GS.
Nice Video!
R for RIDICULOUS!
both awesome bikes man but yet so different
Hi RJ. I have a GT myself since three weeks, with the Akra. I wonder: do you have taken out the DB-killer? Or not?
The GT is not mine, while I had it the DB killer was in.
Sounds good!
Need to get some foorage of the Nuda with that drone! It would look awesome!
I really like the GT over the R.Wish i could buy the GT along with an S1000R, those have to be two of my dream bikes currently.
They change a lot.... lol, when you can't afford any of them its easy to say you want them all at one point or another.
What levers do you use on your SD RJ ? Keep up the good work 👍
The black one. What's the meaning of the plate number? I mean the colours of them.
BlackRider Motovlog
Just camouflage of the real number underneath.
Ed van Andel LOL. Thanks bro.
rj..why dont you like ducatis?
That GT has something to it that i can't really explain... It's got a beautiful aggressive and composed style, despite not being a straightforward good looking bike, if that makes any sense. I'm still undecided if I will go for it, or the new 1290 or the GS... Decisions...Decisions... These new KTM's as far as I'm concerned, are the most interesting bikes at the moment.
Is it good for a a beginner. Well not a complete beginner but like with little experience?
Sébastien Hoareau a motorbike that is called “the beast” for beginners?
even the gt version... yes it’s smoother but it’s the same engine anyway...
if you had no experience i’d say 390duke, little experience i’d say 690 but it’s ugly so i’d wait for 790 to come out... if you’re really into dukes
Thanks man..much appreciated 👍🏻
Maybe I should wait for the 790 like you said.
Can you please do review of ktm duke 390-2017 i am thinking to buy one i am driving maxi scooters and i want to go for new 390 but i want a you to make review for it if you can please,i wish you all best on road!
i dont have money for 1290......
twin brothers with different attitude s one is sober the other one naughty
they look amazing
They are... :)
Is it just me, or does it seem Mrs. RJ likes her cars? Her head turned every time something interesting went by.
Mrs RJ approves🙌🙌🙌💯
Do i understood right, that you buyed the (same) bike again?
Schwanzini DeKarotta
No, RJ had the GT for 2 weeks as a loan, just for testing and reviewing. In this video he compares it with his own SuperDuke.
Alright thx
I love the 1290r I had the pleasure of hearing Austin racings one at the MCN bike show it sounded possessed
LOVE 1290 !!!!!!!!
Who's the lucky person that gets to ride the other bike to the filming spot!! :D envious! :D
2017 model? or 2016
duke 390 2017 good?
Does he own that 1290 adventure version?
Syed Moinuddin
It's a GT, not an Adventure. He doesn't own it, as far as we know. Just for a 2 week testing and reviewing.
Ed van Andel Ohh I see. 🤔
there you go, RJ is not the stig, that goes to Mrs. RJ :D
the GT is a direct competitor to the s1000xr not the GS...I think.
hell yeaaa rj
i like ur intro m8..
whoa a drone shot!
what helmet you have?
dima milman
See RJ's website: reel.tv/#!gear/
luv, the info,.. thanks for all the vids,.. ;-}
why does mrs RJ not talk?
What is your Job???
I always try to picture what moto TH-camrs look like, under the helmets, RJ to me would look like a younger Danny Trejo.
i like the old intro
The older brother and the younger brother! KTM family
hi jordan, I from Indonesia..
