One word... EPIC!!!! The N260 has to be one of the greatest biking roads on the planet, great vid mate, makes me want to go back immediately! Looking forward to the next vid 👍
Thanks Andy, yeah you would love it being a twisty lover, highly recommend going I really want to go back next year too. Thinking of hiring the Pyrenees Motorcycle Tour house for the week and just playing around the local area, hey join us would be very cool :-)
Could watch those twisties hours on end. What a road !!! Looks to me that the Duke is a better machine for this than the Tuono (?) . Great vid , Thanks !
Yeah I was going to trim this EP right down but those roads deserve to be seen :-) My Duke is heavily modded and lightened as you know so not really a fair comparison. On really tight stuff Duke is more supermoto setup so does work better. Tuono geometry is very sportsbike so doesnt do really tight stuff that well.
Haha!! More like you found an inferior rider to make the duke look good. An equal rider on the Tuono would slowly pass the KTM. I do love your vids though Lambchops!! 👍
👍. Yep Europe has loads of empty brilliant roads. But UK has a fair few. 😄. Head north young Chops head north,proper north like,whyaye man north😉. Great vid as per. 🏍☀️🇪🇸
I'll tel you a funny story about a man with a 'stop' sign, I was winding my way down a steep mountain track between Spain and Portugal when round a bend there was a short tailback of cars and a guy in a high vis controlling traffic, the roads were all blind bends and we couldn't see the road works ahead. We were the last in the queue of cars and as we came level with start of the contraflow the high vis stopped us and handed my missus on the back a flower and said something in foreign which neither Sue or I understood, but Sue was very pleased and was saying how nice the guy was to have given her the flower. I went forward and round a bend the roadworks came into view, I was thinking about that flower and I realised that it was a sign to be passed to the high vis on the uphill side traffic flow that we were the last to be let through on the downhill direction and the uphill flow was safe to proceed. I in turn stopped next to the high vis and told Sue to give the guy the flower which she refused to do not understanding it's purpose, I pressed her and she eventually gave it up. To this day Sue still does not accept my explanation of what that flower was for, she still sticks to her belief that it was for her, women!
You may have already done this but would it be possible for you to publish the route you took. Those roads look brilliant and I fancy giving that a go next year.
Lamb Chop Rides it doesn't have to be 100% accurate but knowing the road numbers and towns/villages that you were heading for would be nice. Love your content by the way, I'll be chopping in Ktm 640 supermoto for one of those 1290's
When are you going get your mints on the 2020 1290 Super Duke R? I think that's my machine, the zH2 is just too small for me. Your having just too much fun, incredible roads. Twist blast up she goes. 🇨🇦
These are the best roads... rode these 2 years ago and have booked the ferry for end Sept 2018 for a blast around Spain & Portugal... a little different from you two, as we're camping all the way. No need to worry about when we stop.... Looking forward to watching the next EP04... Would like to see a bit more of that Aprilia Tuono as I'm thinking of part ex against my Repsol... What do you think?
You lucky bugger I cant wait to go back, yeah unfortunately the mic on Wombles helmet didnt work so lost all his audio. We do swap bikes and I give some insights to the Tuono later on. I love them, swap the Repsol tomorrow :-)
I will be going down the N260 and some of it's side roads twice this August going and returning from Portugal, taking a huge detour just for the fun of it. Just change the tires on the r1100gs for a set of PR4's. Enjoy your trip.
Not going to lie, when the dash on the Tuono said 33 and the dash on the SDR said 55, I figured you DID have it in KPH ;) It's no wonder you were leaving him behind!
Would love to do a petrol station tour like this but it probably costs an arm and a leg. And yeah there are some very nice roads here in UK but if you time it wrong you will be stuck behind cars all the way
Yes flashing light is the ABS mode, also says "not road legal" when you turn it on. You need the dongle to be able to put it in that mode however. The warning light is because it came up due a service :-(
Love the video chops plus it's about time ya mate cracked a smile lol only joking, anyway both keep safe on the road's looking forward to the next video
Unfortunately his helmet mic wasnt working so lost his audio, we do swap bikes later and I do some comparisons. We will do a separate video later with both mics working and do a proper comparison video.
Lamb Chop Rides thank you for the reply, appreciate it and great content as always. Some of the best content on TH-cam. Hope you are still doing that Santa pod run what ya brung day...
What helmet have you got as you cant hear any wind noise , only from the V4 owner, and do you have bike to bike coms if so what make and what are they like, Cool vids x
Hey everyone I need some serious help: next year I am finally buying a new bike. It’s between the 1290R and 1290Gt. The R1200Gs was an option yet people keep telling me they keep braking down and are way behind in engine power. I am wondering how the 1290R is for long rides and riding it in the rain since it’s a naked bike. Also, is there a huge difference in engine reliability between the 1290R and 1290Gt due to different engine components yet being the LC8 in both? Thank you for whomever can help and or advise with this
IssaTrayz thank you for the reply! I do like the SA yet not in love with the body style. I do love the 1290Gt or how it looks at least, yet trying to make an educated decision since I’m spending a lot of money regardless and I plan to only spend it once 🤗
Bro i'm going to Castellanne with the guys from the KTM Are you ready fucking french forum i think it's gonna be awesome i'm gonna make few video about that . N about the carbon wheels i've found the new BST shit it called Rapid Tek one of my favorite super heros 650 ib got it on his Panigale V4 speciale They R the best on the market only 2.55 kg for the front N 2.45 kg for the rear. Damn the price is for me more than 3000 pounds with the ceramic stuff N shipping tax may be in the end of june i will take it...
Brilliant series! Keep it coming! Never thought I'd enjoy watching men have fun so much!😂
Tell wobble smile a bit it doesn't hurt!
haha, thanks Mark. Hes a bundle of fun but just bad timing when I had the camera out this time I think haha
Great video. I'm loving this series as well as all the modification video's you made as well. Keep up the great work.
Thanks Spazz
You crazy English guys ! Loving these, big thanks all the way from L.A

The more I see your bike Chops the more I want one. On my bucket list them roads.
I do love it Douge, loved it before the mods now its just incredible :-)
Brilliant, as usual. Got to pay a visit next year. :-D
BTW. Tuono in the tunnel... Fantastic!!!!
Yeah sounds incredible doesnt it, love the sound of the Duke but the Tuono is another level
Fantastic roads. Looked like top fun
Could watch those twisties hours on end.
What a road !!!
Looks to me that the Duke is a better machine for this than the Tuono (?) .

The KTM sound amazing
Nice ride!!greethings fron Costa Rica
Great tour. Can you do a close up on how you fit the luggage. / thanks!
Yes I do show this in more detail when we arrive in the next stop
Reminds me a little of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
You may have already done this but would it be possible for you to publish the route you took. Those roads look brilliant and I fancy giving that a go next year.
I haven't yet Paul but can probably get that sorted no problem

@@pauladhemar1060 Any updates on that? ;)
@@kallekorn2897 no sir, I'd forgotten all about it.
Great vid, what was the difference in your camera setup over your friends setup?
When are you going get your mints on the 2020 1290 Super Duke R? I think that's my machine, the zH2 is just too small for me. Your having just too much fun, incredible roads. Twist blast up she goes. 🇨🇦

Looking for opinions on the KTM Ergo seat for the Superduke. Wondering if its more comfortable? worth the money or no? thanks in advance. cheers
Yes its a big improvement over stock without doubt. There is no way I could have done more than 2 hours on the standard one!!
Thanks LC
Not going to lie, when the dash on the Tuono said 33 and the dash on the SDR said 55, I figured you DID have it in KPH ;)
It's no wonder you were leaving him behind!
How did you find old bill ?and speed traps?looks awesome 👍
Didnt see any in Spain!! Not sure if we were just lucky...
Lamb Chop Rides happy days 😉another great vid
Is there a version of this where the riders speak English...or subtitles?
cracking vid chops
N260 near Andorra is amazing. Just been there with the 1290 GT. Weather was shite most of the time but the GT just doesn't cares
Its incredible isnt it, real shame about the weather, wasnt the tour with Bruce Smart was it?
Would love to do a petrol station tour like this but it probably costs an arm and a leg. And yeah there are some very nice roads here in UK but if you time it wrong you will be stuck behind cars all the way
Yeah it was expensive, think with tolls and garage drink stops it was about £500 alone... does add up
Is that why there’s a caution light and flashing abs? Because it’s in super moto mode. I’ve never had mine in that mode lol
Yes that is why. I have the same bike as well. Super moto mode is awesome! Bet there's a great story behind your name lol. Cheers
Spazz YZ250 racing. Made my TH-cam account shortly after getting out of hospital lol.
Yes flashing light is the ABS mode, also says "not road legal" when you turn it on. You need the dongle to be able to put it in that mode however. The warning light is because it came up due a service :-(
That V4...drool...
Love the video chops plus it's about time ya mate cracked a smile lol only joking, anyway both keep safe on the road's looking forward to the next video
haha, hes a miserable bugger :-)
Listening to Chops all day and smile are you mad! : )
Lmfao womble that is true lol don't think I'd be able crack a smile with someone chewing my ears off all day OJ chop chop lol.
Hi Lamb Chop, I'm the guy that lives in France, it's a shame we didn't meet....maybe another time.
Yeah sorry about that Gary, was such a wirl wind tour this time. Defo another time buddy
Hey chops, any chance of some more footage from Wombles view? As a tuono owner......
Unfortunately his helmet mic wasnt working so lost his audio, we do swap bikes later and I do some comparisons. We will do a separate video later with both mics working and do a proper comparison video.
Lamb Chop Rides thank you for the reply, appreciate it and great content as always. Some of the best content on TH-cam. Hope you are still doing that Santa pod run what ya brung day...
Yeah need to get that sorted as year is slipping by already! Time flys
Appreciate the kind words matey :-)
Yeah I’m looking forward to that proper comparison video
If I had a pound for every time 'twisty' was said... 🤣
haha :-)
Have you ever tried continental road attack 3’s?
No I haven't, I've tried the Conti attack on the 701 but they are a very soft sticky rubber.
What helmet have you got as you cant hear any wind noise , only from the V4 owner, and do you have bike to bike coms if so what make and what are they like, Cool vids x
Thanks Sean, its a AGV X8 carbon and is very good for helmet audio. Yes coms is done with Sena 20S, they are a great intercom highly recommended
Was that near ainsa?
Yes it was, well spotted
The two best sections of that road are after the video ends!
How come your bikes were super clean throughout the whole video.
Yeah they look clean but up close they are dirty, not too bad and we were fairly lucky with the weather.
YOU NEED TO COME RIDE THE OXLEY HIGHWAY OR MITTA MITTA , OR ADAMINABY TO BERRIDALE! THAT WILL SHOW YOU TWISTYS
Love the Oxley highway on my superduke 👌

For your kind of use, the bike I recommand you is the KTM 1290 SuperAdventure, the craziest trail motorbike you can have.
IssaTrayz thank you for the reply! I do like the SA yet not in love with the body style. I do love the 1290Gt or how it looks at least, yet trying to make an educated decision since I’m spending a lot of money regardless and I plan to only spend it once 🤗

Thats ok 😂😂
Put that thing on a boat and come ride western North Carolina. Roads like this but even better.
Would love too!! :-)
Anyone else get pretty bad shake in the bars under acceleration?
Like a speed wobble type shake? Wonder if something is sideways with your steering dampener? I haven't had any issues with my 2015 yet.
Spazz I have a brand new 2015. Only 1300 miles. I have heard the oil could be thicker in the dampener. I think it’s just the wind tbh.
No I dont have that with mine..
Twister > magnum
👍👍🇨🇦
Full fat bikes then coke zero???
Looks more like a win for chops not so much the Duke I recon chops on the tuono would of left the duke
bitchen roads.
