you really have a great feeling for the bike! Nice ridden and the standup wheelie at the end was my absolut favorite! :) that video made me think about buying one... I sold the 1290 but may buy the 890 soon :D
@@swisscheese714 I change some of my bikes quite often. I had the gen 1 and sold it. Thought that this was a mistake and bought the gen 2. Then I sold it because I had too many bikes beside the 1290.

@@vjkrishnareddy8742 thanks mate! Glad you liked it! This is in Sweden 👍 Yes there is, usually it is around 80km/h but out in the countryside it’s usually not that many people driving 👍
@@ivanstevanovic5372 tbh I would stick with the 890R. For me the MT-09 feels too heavy and not that nimble. I like the more aggressive stance and playfulness of the 890. However the MT-09 is not a bad bike at all but it just comes down to personal preference. I would say that if you want a more aggressive and playful bike, go 890. If you want a more comfortable bike and like the sound of 3cyl crossplane, go MT-09. Both are good, I just like the 890 more 👍
Have you tried the super duke ? I currently own 790 and undecided between the 1290 and the 890 I know the 890 is nimble as the 790 What’s your opinion ?
Actually I have not, the 890 works perfect for the most part but if you want more torque and power in higher speeds I would go for the 1290. If you are about to have someone else on the bike I would also go for the 1290, however the 890 works good for most of the time but for me I would like a little bit more power above maybe 170kmh. Still don’t know if it’s worth the money lol 😂💵
@@s.aracing5431 wow, excellent throttle control for track response, especially on the wheelies 😎 I've struggled to keep the front end up on track throttle, 5 slip, awm off lol
@@bleedngreen thanks! Usually we ride our track bikes with quick action throttle, so this one feels pretty calm even in track mode. I think it’s all about what you’re used too! 🙏
Actually the bike runs stock, however it’s a bit rich but nothing that’s an issue, fuel consumption is a bit higher but it’s not that bad. Everything is standard except exhaust, original headers with a decat and Mivv Short pipe 👍 good enough for regular road use 👍

@ yes I see! Don’t worry about the 890 being too much, it’s perfect for everyday riding and the electronics are very good 👍 I guarantee you that you won’t be disappointed!
@@s.aracing5431you are triggering me, my friend😂 but when i see you riding i feel proud already, must be the best feeling when you watch it, life's to short for boring bikes, but for real, you would't recommend starting on a 690 first? The thing that had set me back about 790/890 is the camshaft problem but i found out its about 0.5% globally, and ktm should take it under warranty by now, but the looks, the fun factor its another level😅
@ I mean the smaller ones are okay for sure but for daily driving etc I would go for more CC since the torque is handy and nice to ride with. The bike is still very nimble though it got 890cc, it definitely feel like a smaller bike! Regarding the crank I’ve heard that it was on the earlier models that had this issue, I haven’t personally heard any case of this issue here 👍
@@nothingisreal6345 yes, I agree, usually I ride on track, but if I’m out riding in public I try to ride in the forest where there is much less traffic. If I could, I would only ride where I could be completely alone 👍
Why take the time to complain, while you probably where enjoying the ride as much as i do in my chair at home😂, you a hater man, the guy definitely knows how to ride his bike, and i think he does is flawless, i will buy one 890 for sure when i get my license in a few months, but wont drive it like this ( not possible in the netherlands )❤❤❤❤
I’ve tried the Z model and I felt it dull, heavier and more like a street cruise bike. The KTM feels lighter and lot more torque which results in a more playful bike altogether in my opinion! Try ride em both if you have the opportunity 👍
Third gear power wheelie. Absolutely astonishing!!!!
@@xttr1606 thanks mate 👍🏁

Does it just power wheelie easily…no need to clutch up ?
1st, 2nd and 3rd you can just power wheelie, if your riding in 3rd and let’s say, above 70km/h, you need to clutch 👍

this or mt09?
