      There is talk, okay, there is ONE guy who says a friend of his who works at KTM (higher than dealer level) has said there will be no Gen 3 GT. Currently the only place you CANT buy a Gen 2 is in the North American market. I am waiting for official announcement. My '20 GT that I acquired in Jan of 2020 is going strong with 22.5K miles and if the Gen 3 does not come come out I might look at this Super Adventure S...no I probably wont...

      Nothing us guaranteed for sure but that wouldn't make sense to me. The GT is a successful model so I don't see what they wouldn't. I think we'll know for sure in the next month or two

    I did a double take when you said you were in a "heatwave". 21 or 22 degrees. I live in Australia and a normal summers day is anywhere from 30 to 35 degrees. A heatwave is 40 degrees plus. Last year we had a couple of days of 45 degrees. Now thats hot. Every bike I have ever owned has been hot to ride in summer. Mind you, we think it's cold when it's about 15 degrees. But we can easily ride all year round.

    The first time I rode an 1190 SA-R my initial thoughts were bigtime Supermoto with raw power and gnarly feel good factor. The 1290 was a bit softer in comparison. It's good to hear you say the new SAS seems to be going back to the 1190's feel.

    Not ridden a 1290 before, no, but I have an 1190. Never heard the bike get a mention on this channel for comparison against anything, I don’t think.
    Definitely a hooligan. Thought I’d never replace it but the Africa Twin looks good and with dependable Honda refined I guess?
    My galvanised bolts are all corroded on a bike that’s never seen salt and has been pampered it’s whole life. The plastics no longer fit (somehow they’ve shrunk and holes don’t align), the screen was replaced years ago as the standard one made everything worse, the mirror glass rattles - I notice they haven’t changed them of all the things they have!
    As much as I like the bike I vowed not to get another KTM but this has me tempted.

    High praise, indeed, bearing in mind how impressed you were with the V4 multistrada. However, like many a tester, you're not putting your money on the line for what would be most people's sole motorcycle. It's one thing pissing around on one for lolz and quite another wondering when it's going to be at the dealers putting something right.
    What puts me off this is a) Reliability ( a Swiss army knife of a bike has to be as reliable as a...well...Swiss army knife.) Would you have one of these as your only bike? Those TFT's like misting up across the range in KTM, and watching the MCN long term review of the Super Duke, and it's myriad of issues, yeah naw. b) Lack of colour schemes and KTM's styling theme. What if you hate orange? c) Build quality. It's cheaper than the GS or Multistrada for a good reason.

    Three years ago, I couldn’t make my mind between the SDR and the SAS. I kid you not. Then your video was published on the SAS (at least YOU didn’t crash it 😏) and I ended up buying it and it has been formidable. Today, I find myself in front of the same dilemma. This vid doesn’t help. Or maybe it does. I’m dying to hear what « daddy » has to say about is, as well.
    Also, at 15:00: you’d be surprised to know how many times I found myself lost by my GPS, with the option of taking a small offroadish trail (the kind even you Brits wouldn’t dare to call a B road), and I took it. Because I could. And that was fun, and fast. And a few tractors were left in disbelief.

    Future video idea - what it's like to own and live with these kinds of bikes in the long term. All the journos dish out the press release (ex-Journo myself) and the spec sheet kerfuffle. It would be good to see some real-world experiences with your style of reviews.

Currently on a 17 fz/mt09 and was thinking next bike id want something more practical, with wind protection, more torque and after riding my buddies ftr1200, I suddenly understand the appeal of V twins. This seems to check everyone of those boxes.

    Looks a proper weapon! Got a bit of germanic influence to the ol’ gal! My XR is looking dated already.
    Thought I was going to have to put up with Mr Mann’s (still pretty good) review!
    Statham looking trim and on point too ☺️.

    Impressive bit of kit. I think I prefer the look of the Multistrada though, the SAS is a bit sensible looking for a KTM

    Great review and even on roads I'm very familiar with, I won't say it made me buy one because I've already ordered it and collecting in 3 days!! But it has helped me justify the spend :-)

    I love my GSA, but I’d never get it if I wasn’t doing 50% off-road. There are much more exciting bikes if you’re only doing on-road riding or you’re just doing the odd bit of gravel.

    What percentage better than the outgoing model is it? Would you take the previous version for 2/3 of the price of a new one?

    I never found my Gen 2 1290 SDR engine or gearbox rough or lumpy - engine was smooth and tractable at low speed/revs and almost any gear; the gearbox was positive and really slick with the quickshifter/autoblipper...but if they are both now even better I think I'd better buy another :)

    Another good down to earth informative video 👌. Im predominantly a sports bike rider but I recently bought a Honda X-ADV 750 for commuting and a bit of touring..i bought a 2017 model but the 2021 is supposed to be a massive improvement if you get a chance to tell us what the new one is like please do 👍

    I'm disappointed that nobody(?) includes 2-up performance and comfort for these reviews.
    Particularly whether the suspension can gracefully handle 2 people + luggage on over some rocks & ruts.
    I don't think I would bother to own an adv over 1000cc if not for taking my wife on trips, it's important to me.

    I have just rode the new Superduke R today and will be testing the Adventure S on Saturday, so big question Adventure S, SuperDuke R or even SuperDuke GT? I'm seriously considering px'ing my V4 Panigale for one of them.
