So..i stopped by and just sat on the 1290 and the 790 adventure (the standard not the "R" which are long sold out) ...the 1290 feels PONDEROUSLY ENORMOUSLY Elephant like INTIMIDATING! Too Tall and too heavy to even imagine slow deep sand! I mean it feels like it would require superhuman strength and ability! Seriously? Count me OUT....I can see someone buying one that actually NEVER rides more than well maintained dirt roads . Then I hopped on the 790 adventure! WOW NIGHT AND DAY experience! I can sit flat footed on the 790 and it feels SO light and confidence inspiring! I wish I could have ridden but had no time today...It just FELT just SO SO friendly and RIGHT feeling! ...my seat of the pants dead engine 2 cents for whatever it's worth to anyone...
The 790 Adv is a pretty amazing machine for sure! Filling a void...
I purchased the 1290 Super adventure R, 2018 model. It's a dream machine that brings so much needed joy into my life. Looking at this 2019 I do prefer the older paint styling of the 2018 a bit more as it brings out more of the bike's styling. If you can wait till the years end for 2019, you will serve your pocket book well by getting a blistering deal as the 2020 models arrive. Still can find some 2018 models as low as 14,000. I payed 13,800 for my Austrian machine. Great bike, great rides!
You're lucky you paid that for the bike, here in Brazil it's easily 4x that price and we are 20x poorer than the europeans or americans lol.
I would be glad if I only had a Suzuki Burgman loooool I can if I don't get killed randomly by a burglar/stray bullet when coming back from work, because it happens here everyday D:
Here in Brazil it costs almost 100k BRL LOOOL (around 30k USD) minimal wage 1000 BRL
Such a FUN bike to ride! Thank you for watching!
Wow alot of KTM haters here. Expensive compared to what. Paid 15,499 for my 2018 1290 SAR. If you don't like a little warmth from your engine turn the A/C up in your car or wear pants when you ride. It's much easier to plug a tubeless tire than to remove the wheel from the bike, take the tube out and repair the tube then reinstall everything on the bike. My truck has more electronics on it than my bike and it doesn't have the same warranty coverage as the drivetrain either.
Thanks for your comment. We too are surprised by the less than positive response.
Im sold on it. But why did you get the R and not the S? Went out today to look at BMW and Ducati Multistrada enduro (I have a 1299) 19k out the door! As opposed to 27k
Does the r come with heated grips
@@Dragandspinn No. They can be purchased for about $130 and added easily.
@@Skyhawks1979 I got one. I love it
I love how so many comments on here and many real life conversations are people trying to justify their purchase to themselves.... Have fun, be safe, and don’t spend more than you can stomach to slide sideways through the mud. Pretty simple
Ha! Ha! Love your comment!
Wow. What a long demo ride
Yeah, it left us wanting for more too... We have plans to a day in the saddle of each of these bikes here in the near future. Stay tuned! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
The ktm 1290 super r is the best adventure bike out there. Untouchable in every way. BMW is for the 60 and over crowd. Not that there's anything wrong w that!
I totally think the same way - and I OWN both! The BMW "can get there" most of the time but it is WAY MORE WORK! - Kyle (not Chaparral)
Seriosly???? HONESTLY? "in EVERY WAY" ????...."EVERY" way?? Really??
Thanks Kyle...a little too long on the TFT and too short on the ride experience in my opinion. Hopefully there’ll be a more comprehensive ride review in the near future. If I trade in my 1290SA, it’ll be on the 790 Adventure R, it looks much more capable offroad and still has ample power for on road.
Totally agree on the lack of ride experience. We did not get the opportunity to ride more than around the block a few times... Bummer. We will be heading back out there and will spend a day on each bike here in the near future. We will do a full review at that point in time. Thanks for watching! - Kyle
For my liking, the motorcycle is perfect for off-road trips, but as for road trips, I consider that this motorcycle quality should have the GPS incorporated on the screen with the maps, and in the cruise control it should automatically manage the distance with the vehicles in front. The seat is very far in comfort. But de motorcycling it’s exciting. I have de 2018 model.
What is the helmet do you use in this video?
Thanks
Great feedback Fredy! Yes the bike is exciting! I too agree with your recommendations of what should be added... The helmet is an Icon Airflite helmet: th-cam.com/video/2PW1VjNaziQ/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching! -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Even though I just got a Samsung Galaxy S10+. I still prefer the analog tach and digital speedo on my 950 adventure as well as my 1190R. I also turn my phone off when I'm riding. Great video and bike.
Yes... I agree with the display and your choice of bikes. I own a 2009 KTM 950 Super Enduro and a 2016 1190 Adv R. FUN Bikes!
which advise me to buy 1290 s or 1290 r
buy both
Is there a difference from the 18 to a 19 model as far as the frame or electronics?
This is my dream bike but for now I’ll stick to My Suzuki DR 650
Mine too! For now I will stick to my 950se and 1190 Adv R. In due time.... Thanks for watching! - Kyle
I have both and prefer the DR 650 for off road by a long way.
1290 Super Adventure has a safety flaw in its design, the motorcycle has a major safety problem.
I bought mine six month ago and since day one I have been experiencing head wobble at speed ranging from 100 to 120 mph.
I contacted the dealer and they said “there is a software upgrade regarding the head wobble”
I took the motorcycle to the dealer, after the software upgrade I discovered that the four setting for the damping is not working any more there is not difference in the performance between sports, street, comfort or off-road.
I have ridden several of these bike "at speed" and have not experienced what you have on the 1290. My 1190 Adv R only does this with certain tires. With a tire swap... it 100% goes away. Have your bearings checked and put a set of street tires on your bike and I would put money down that your bike does not headshake at any speed. Knobbies make terrible street tires. - Kyle (not Chaparral)
The head wobble is due to the pre load adjustment not being set properly. I experienced the same until I changed the pre load after discussing with my KTM dealer.
The setup may be wrong for your weight. Mine is good.
Also it could be your arms blowing in the wind. Try letting go of the bars, see if it stops.
Dear KTM:
Please throw this technology into a renewed and redesigned RC8R.
Sincerely, every single KTM fan.
YES! I like where you are going with this! - Kyle
Sincerely, every single RC8R owner lol
Great bike, but to expensive for me, so Iam very happy with my 3 day old Vstrom 1000 XT with Remus exhaust.
The Vstrom is a great bike.
The Adventure jump suit has a major downside...If you've got to take a dump...it's tremendously hard and inconvenient. Hahaha
Not really... zip down... and peel of the arms. Presto Done. -- Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
I've bought this model last february. Problem with the pairing with my phone (also tested with other Iphone and Android). Waiting for an reply from the importer. Feels hot from the rear cilinder, and the brakes are very soft and feels some torsion on the front wheel when applied strongly. Ready to Race isn't literaly, you need to buy some Powerparts to take it to the race ;)
Thank you for your feedback Miguel.
No heated grips nor seat for that high price?
Right...
Been thinking about buying this bike for 2 years. I want to rent it for a day or at least take a decent test ride. Do you have a demo bike in Stock?
It is an amazingly fun machine, that is for sure. Chaparral does not have a Demo Program. Find a Used one for Sale and go test ride it there... The next closest event to CA will be here: 4/27/2019 KTM Street Demo Chandler, AZ Wild Horse Pass Motorsports Park. Might be worth a Road Trip. Oh.. and GoAZ will let you test ride any bike on the floor if you are out that way. - Kyle
I own one, I am 5.11, Its too tall and wide for me to feel comfortable off road on. It is scary huge. Absolutely incredible on road though. It passes traffic as fast as you can think of passing and handles as good as a race car even loaded with as much as you can carry. Awesome tech. Stunning bike but it is huge.
What tires do you have on your 1290 R? Have you tried taking it off road at all?
Going to look at KTM’s, hope my dealer has a few in stock!
Did you get one?
Well... what did you end up getting?
Was this in Daytona for bike week? Didn't see at Speedway.
Should have been... KTM said they were taking the Demo Trailer with all of the bikes. This was recorded in California.
Oh, man, missed them, would have loved to drive the 1290! Next time! I've had my share of GSA's, ready for a change.
@@steveross2280 Ha! Ha! Me too ;) I sold my 2008 R1200GSA and a Goldwing to purchase my 2016 KTM 1190 Adv R and it was the "most fun" move I have made in a LONG time. Well... until I jump on my 950cc KTM dirt bike... the Super Enduro! They make great machines.
Where can I get that helmet?
Its the Icon Airflite Fader graphic and can be found here: www.chapmoto.com/icon-airflite-fader-full-face-helmet-parent-038-010110826
Hi, what brand was the onezi you put on? Do you have a link for that
It is called the Klim Hardanger 1 Piece Suit and can be found here: www.chapmoto.com/klim-hardanger-1-piece-textile-riding-suit-parent-2613737000000

SCREEN RECORDING 🤨
Hi, thanks for watching our video, I am not 100% sure but I think that was just a still image that our video producer used and then the highlight box was added during the video production.
I,d rather be on the GS.
Lol
Different strokes for different folks! Thank goodness for diversity. - Kyle & the Chap Moto Team
Klim copying the Aerostitch suits.
What about First Gear? Tour Master? Joe Rocket?
Made in India.
Not yet for the big bikes... This one was an Austria Made machine.
KTM bikes are manufactured by Bajaj at their production plant in Chakan(Pune).Oct 21, 2017
ALL THE BIKES. Why do you think there are so many problems with them?
Still great bikes once you get all the kinks out.
Wrong. Made in Mattighofen Austria. What problems?
KTM AG (the parent company) is 49% owned by Bajaj Auto. They would be fools if they didn’t move manufacturing to a cheaper labor pool. Don’t get me wrong, I love my India brothers and sisters and they can build anything as good as anyone else. It just takes a little bit to work out all the kinks. All of my intel is fairly recent. They latest regulations in Europe made perfect timing for everyone to come out with new models and move production.
Same thing is about to happen to my beloved Gas Gas.
There is only one KING, BMW GS Adventure
Yes, the GS is the king of Adventure Touring for sure. But the overall speed, power and off-road-ability of these big KTM's is impressive. I am coming off a 2008 R1200 GSA with 85k miles. That being said, the new 1250 Rallye is SICK!!!
BMW needs to be fixed every day lol
KTM 1290R is king of earth travel. 160hp makes 120hp GS1200 look like toy. LC8 is the most powerful engine ever to be strapped to a 21inch front tire. BMW GS is yesterdays news.
@@nev357 RIGHT YOU R!
GS is hasbeen. Now it is 1290SAR! Sorry.
