Imagine a new RC8 with this motor. Just imagine..👹

[@elraes1387]

Let's do it !!! 🔥

[@sabamacx]

Imagine a KTM 1390 SMR :^)

[@RokBagorosStuntrider]

Goosebumps from the start till the end 😳

[@Achilles22]

Not for me 😢

[@salsadurauk]

Love your videos but not so much the online shop will never forget such a bad experience buying products for my superduke .

[@maximusmax4557]

You need to raise your standards!

[@mardelplatalimousines3423]

Masterpiece.

[@LitoGeorge]

Gareth Davidson - your SAffa accent is hard to miss boet. Congrats on being with KTM. Eitsa! Gooi mielies jong.

[@nsxone123]

I've owned the Superduke's V1, V2 and currently the V3. As you can imagine, I was eager to discover the new 1390!
My local KTM shop was kind enough to let me test the bike and I loved the feeling immediately. The 1390 feels more precise, more natural as if the bike wheighed less. Quite amazing! Now for the drawback: the clutch lever needs a very strong pull ( I would say twice that of the 1290) making it very tiring in traffic. It's good to test these kind of bikes on a track but what about customers who drive the bike on the road?

[@AndiBurgschachner]

awesome video, great job
love the bts stories 🧡🏁✊🏽

[@99999Daan]

Great video KTM! pls more "behind the story" videos in the future!😍

[@GrtSatan]

My 890 Duke R is by far the finest machine I have ever thrown a leg over in my 51 years of street riding. What a splendid beast it is.

[@arte-nauta]

Impresionante !! Mi próxima moto ya está decidida KTM 1390 SuperDuke EVO

[@josh786manchester]

Why do you have to pay extra to activate all the settings??

[@oeboeloe05]

Awesome inside look!!

[@leandropassos2956]

Nice!!!

[@TheAdventuresofPhilJones]

What a fantastic film, and bike! I got to check out The Beast at MCN London show last weekend, and it really grabs your attention and that’s when it’s not even moving! Great work KTM! 🙌🔥

[@Fran_bollo]

Espectacular reportaje, ojalá sea mi próxima KTM!!!

[@KTM]

We hope so too!

[@pierrot3335]

Thank you very for this video, congratulations for all the team you made a very good job as usual. I am waiting for my new 1390 after V1 / V2 / V3. Already 10 years of riding this wonderful bike. I love it 🧡👍

[@damytzeus]

will the wheels from my 2018 super duke fit on the 1390? i'd like to keep my carbon wheels?

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

Very good bike😊

[@kevinroark5815]

The chief engineer made a mistake, he said "We till it from 1290 to 1350"
Isn't it 1301 cc to 1350

[@iivaridark6850]

The video obviously is meant to people who do not place attention to details! 😅

[@chaindrive_blvd]

Awesome well done bravo

[@creedencewoodard8571]

The bike that started my love of naked bikes😎

[@iivaridark6850]

For me, it was the SDR 990, I noticed it somewhere and it sounded nice. Not as nice as a Buell, though. And then, I happened in 2014 to visit a KTM shop and there was a new SDR 1290. Didn't know anything about the bike but sat on it and it felt just perfect. Instant buy...😍

[@SealifeBonD]

Very interesting video; it would be more complete if you could also see the steps in cad design, aerodynamic testing and production ✊

[@andreasherrmann694]

was für eine geile Karre habt ihr da wieder gebaut! 🙂HAMMER!

[@steveman1982]

When I grow up, I want to try one of these beasts.

[@n0surrenda]

I will be upgrading my gen 2 to this bike sometime this year.

[@d17a2dude]

I've been riding a 390 for 5 years. I may just bump it up by a liter one day. This thing is sick!

[@ToddTube1]

I've been riding motorcycles for 35 years and owned over 150 bikes I bought a 2015 SDR new and I still love it more than life, I can't even imagine how good the 1390 is, I will buy this bike asap!

[@512460]

Really like the graphics on the helmet

[@martinstrasser3228]

Welche Rundenzeiten wurden während den Tests in Almeria gefahren? Sie sollte eigentlich locker unter 1:50.00 kommen

[@thehighwaychild]

What. A. Beast!!! I want one

[@-Nick129-]

Development on a different level... wow😍

[@dennisweiss1133]

Amazing 🎉🎊

[@rodrigoribeiro5225]

For me, the most radical machine on the face of the earth!

[@dimitrifromsydney]

Unreal, bring it already

[@SaskRiderMoto]

I love the looks and would love to get one. My issue is paying that kind of money, being my only bike, and having the electronic gremlins that other bikes in the line have had in the past. I can't be down a bike for 2 weeks + while they try to figure it out. I have 6 months at best for riding season. Absolutely love it but will have to see how reliable it is.

[@tapuiasailovlog4601]

Wow

[@davidherringgo]

Thank you, KT MI love my generation 1 12 90 R.

[@billh4301]

Interesting video, and McWilliams is a great rider and tester.

[@Radeon888YT]

hope, one day it will be available on India.

[@thejaibert]

😍😍😍

[@Zwiepmoto]

where can I register as a test driver?😁

[@ur2slob724]

Have you cun7s fixed all the issues of the past dukes yet?
Gearbox blowing up
Switch gear getting wet and not working
Wheels not machined correctly so it runs on the rotor
Radiators cracking after a long wheelie?

[@kaarthikeyapahalwan0720]

@KTM is there any specific reason why the super dukes aren't launched in INDIA ??!!

[@RobertHiggins-gv5jc]

My hard earned money goes down on it in September I can't wait.. I want to stop watching the videos of this bike so I truly can not wait ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤....

[@coreywarner3186]

8:50 mark. Did anyone notice the 1390 RR version !? Hopefully KTM brings that to America this time

[@hades7195]

DAMN!

[@uniteamcandy]

Masterpieces ❤

[@christianhufnagl]

Love the New Version ❤

[@paullamrick5993]

What a job to have❤❤❤,,😉

[@massimilianociurlino2941]

Spero che con le sospensioni meccaniche abbia migliorato la stabilità alle alte velocità. Unica vera pecca della mia 1290 3.0. per il resto fa' sorridere dentro il casco ad ogni uscita🧡

[@CLAUDIO_KTM]

Best bike on world ! ! !

[@salmanebennani9327]

Great video great bikes, but please make sure the bikes survives more than 1 year without faulty parts. I had 2 KTMs and both of them were insane motorcyles with so much fun, but unfortunately I always find myself having to replace parts and having to deal with issues on the bike even though the bike is 1 year old.

[@JDFIGHTER87]

Why not showing the team, that came up with the idea, to pay extra for the software?

[@neil_nash]

I knew I wanted the 1390 when it was first announced, but this is the little extra attention to detail and transparency that solidifies the choice over something else. Fantastic job

[@Sanisani9]

I'd rather go with tuono v4 or streetfighter v4s. You'll love it more.

[@patrickwoods5739]

@@Sanisani9 not for pure fun no way

[@Pertamax7-HD]

menanti 1490

[@ridingtales4866]

I wish my 2024 Duke 390 had the headlight derived from Duke 1390 & 990.... try to keep the headlamp uniform guys it's a request... love from India ❤

[@christianfernandezramirez839]

good job, what a shame you have to look for external tricks to use the akrapovic line on the street...

[@A.J.1656]

What do you mean?

[@RealFardi]

Definition of masterpiece

[@AldredsquashUk]

Reliability would be the nicest new edition to the new superduke R

[@elraes1387]

To the question of what is the true sensation on a motorcycle..... this beast is the answer!! 🔥

[@TheTomcat0404]

👏👏👏👏

[@Farewell1997]

Online thing i don’t Like ist is the headlight and how the Front Indikator holder Looks other than that best nackend i know of

[@tubejorrit]

lets hope the aftermarket scene comes with good/pretty solutions.

[@TANRAJU15]

Any plans to launch 1390 in india

[@mm93249]

What a bike and what a brand. I ❤🔥-=KTM

[@rolan2dr]

Reliability though?

[@maximusmax4557]

"Like a good nay-bah, State Farm is they-ah." 💪🏼

[@JohnSmith-cb6qx]

Amazing powerplant. If only it came with Husqvarna aesthetics instead of the Transformers KTM style.

[@HF_Ansh]

Please give us new RC series gen 3 🙏🏼

[@Waynder]

Cant wait to get one and replace the front mask with Gen 3 😅

[@windridermaui]

Just keeps getting better and better. I know riding my KTM always brings a smile to my face...KTM's are Da Best!🤙

[@michaelsteven1090]

My 2019 has now become a childs toy..

[@nicholaskemp2451]

After watching your video and scrolling through the comments, I am under the impression that your marketing team is as good as it has ever been, maybe even better. The narrative, creating the feeling that viewers are behind the scenes, the music and video selections, the script writing, everything works well together. Even the journalists you invited to use your product all toe the line well. Some of them even say one or two contrary comments to make their viewers/readers think they are not regurgitating what your marketing team says word for word.
Without knowing your data I cannot say anything with accuracy but I would like to propose that electronic aids such as wheelie control, dilute your brand somewhat. For example, this is not a bike for beginners. It should be intimidating. Perhaps leave wheelie control for Ducati motard riders and the 990.
I am genuinely very impressed and wish you every success as I own, use and enjoy using two of your products. Please stay orange in spirit and leave beige to Honda and BMW.

È bello vedere un team di sviluppo così giovane. Da possessore di ktm 790 adventure e 1290 super adventure S posso dire che i motori KTM sono i più adrenalinici in termini di coppia e prestazioni.
Aspetto la nuova 990 adventure S per sostituire la 1290 SAS.

Untertitel in Deutsch, sollte bei österreichischem Unternehmen selbstverständlich sein!

[@KTM]

Hi there, thanks for your comment. German language subtitles are now added. Enjoy!

[@salsadurauk]

Not sure if many realice they were working on this project in 2021 that’s 3 years ago that means they are provably working now in a 1500cc but most provably on a V4 so that should come to the market in 2027 .

[@oliverv305]

"The new beast has so much more torque in the lower rpms" I didn't realise it needed more torque owning the 2023 super duke before this one 😅

[@iivaridark6850]

Maybe they didn't too but had to say something to attract someone. Looks like this bike is designed for sales of smaller ones, you have to have a kind of a role model to sell the 125:s, 200:s and 390:s... Advertising style is explained by that theory, too.
But 1390 could be a good product and people will buy it anyhow. The other thing is do they watch ads or do they just try the bike and ride as they like...

[@kj385]

I wonder if the chief engineer knew the job included pillion wheelie tester. 😅
