I just picked up the exact same paint scheme 1290. This is my second one I used to have a 2016. Very powerful and very comfortable for a 6-foot one tall rider. Love my 1290 more power mods coming. Great video!

[@motosafari6378]

Thanks! this bike is awesome!

STR8HEATED I have A Harley Dyna Club Style with a 107. Im buying one of these so I’ll have both. The Harley to Cruz and the Duke to get crazy. 🤘😂🤘

[@snfn7847]

I'm looking very seriously at one of these as a daily, I'm the same height as you are and currently daily a 09 CB1000r. Is it comfortable after a couple hours?

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

Nihil Obstat FPV I went and looked at a 390 and a 690. They didn’t have a 1290. They were way to small for me. I see why there so popular in Asia.

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

I use a 1290 SAR as my daily driver/everything vehicle and I couldn't be happier. It's fast in a way that has to be experienced to be believed. Wheelies are frequent and effortless.

[@ROESPLETZ]

Was on my way to get mine today and literally someone bought it one hour before I got there. Waiting for another black one to come in now! Enjoy!

[@motosafari6378]

justin spletzer where are you located? Close to NC? I believe this one is still available!

[@ROESPLETZ]

Denver CO. I have since I wrote the last found a couple within a 4 to 5 hr drive. I very much appreciate your writing back!!

[@motosafari6378]

justin spletzer yeah man! The dealership I do this for ships bikes out as well. So let me know and I can ask about it if you don’t feel like driving.

[@ROESPLETZ]

MotoSafari thank you!! If it comes down to it Im down to buy a one way ticket and do 1200 miles on it. Lol. Of course that would prolly suck but they are as pretty as they are bad ass! I’ll be in touch! Again I greatly appreciate it man!

[@ROESPLETZ]

MotoSafari I found a 2017 for $13,900 here in Denver at a used bike dealership however it’s sold. The guy told me it’s been sold 3 times so if this buyer falls through he’s gonna call me. Then I’ll be in business! Or I spend $5k more and go brand new.

[@geraldperry7779]

I have ZX14R and purchased this 2020 1290 SDR, it's mental. Reminds me riding my dirt bike KX 500. Mental!

[@akshaysapra01]

Harshith Shetty not anymore buddy. Kawa launched its supercharged naked ZH2 and Ducati came out with streetfighter v4. The superduke now lacks about 20 hp to compete with them.

[@kaushik4166]

@@akshaysapra01 it's the feel, smooth light weight, awesome corner grip no bike would match bro

[@akshaysapra01]

Kaushik buddy the v4 streetfighter is not only about 25 bhp more powerful but way lighter too, I assume that bike has surely taken the crown away from the super duke!

[@Ranzetgaming]

My favourite bike. wish that one day this bike will be mine❤️🇳🇵

[@mohit3471]

Same

[@jakeizlove]

I went with the GT because it's more passenger friendly and has bags. The R looks like a lot of tickets, LOL!

[@geraldperry7779]

Also double in insurance premiums.

[@jakeizlove]

@@geraldperry7779 The policy was more than my home insurance before bundling.

[@jimjim753]

2018 1290r....brakes. Awesome

[@ross5506]

KTM did a amazing upgrade to the 2020,I may just get one.

[@tripletrouble5994]

how was your experience working with Garcia Moto? That"s the one in Raleigh, NC right?

[@michaelsteven1090]

just bought the last '19 my dealer had..awesome price, fully loaded software..I'm sure the '20 is gonna be better but how much better can it get?.. :)

[@Juuul89]

It's also going to be more expensive so you made a good purchase either way :D

[@DJ-cp8hz]

"Not the sticky Brembo's" 🤔maybe just tell the model calipers and master cylinder, also the only thing you're gonna "feel" on the very beginning of such a short ride is MAYBE the brand new stock pads and rotors that are not scrubbed in, just saying, no disrespect, thank you for the review

[@ross5506]

Now they have stylema calipers, what a machine the new 2020 is I may just buy one.

[@phil8249]

That's a dangerous highway. Lots of cars waiting to pull out.

[@onecrazywheel]

How much are these? Thanks. 👍

[@pallepoulsen7121]

How is it possible to test ride with the throttle that gentle?

[@motosafari6378]

It's a brand new bike that someone will own besides me. I like to respect the fact that they might not want the engine revd out

[@md.hasenalrefat1132]

Price??

[@theekshanaagalakotuwa99]

Hey.. is 5"3 height riders can ride this super duke r. ???

Fuck off will you

[@michaelsteven1090]

lol...

[@DE24RIP]

I have an 18 love it

[@matthewinfante4507]

You in Raleigh??

[@michaelsteven1090]

What to get? 790 or 1290R?..Is the 1290 worth the extra $$?

[@jimmytorello7041]

I own a 390, I mostly use it to commute to work and tear up some twisty roads on weekends. I’ve been on both a 790 and 1290 but if I had to just make a decision without concern of money of course I’d go 1290 but considering I won’t have the expendable loot for the 1290 with the insurance premiums, my next step up will most likely be the 790.

[@vaskarsigma3207]

This will make a great beginner bike.

[@sidhantkhanna2994]

Which country u r. Riding?

[@bikeguy3034]

I have a 2018 fully black version....and I shall henceforth refer to it as a 'Refined Machine of Destruction'! :P

[@ashwinsingh6800]

Is it a tall bike?

[@motosafari6378]

Ashwin Singh it’s not that bad. You aren’t as low as an s1000r though

[@1-shotslinger108]

Somewhat.

[@seojimjames]

just took my 2017 sdr from los angeles to san francisco and back, quick shot, one day up one day back down along Big Sur on PCH. btw there is NO other bike I would ride. The sdr makes anyone better in twisty canyons, long sweepers and along the cliffs of PCH from Monterey to LA. ultimately flickable, on a rail thru turns and faster than anything. this torque is real from low revs to psycho red line. review the specs, the V4 , monster, et all do not have the torque. try it in Performance Mode. This bike will spoil you.

I want this bike but make it black and put on a new exhaust/ or a muffler delete. But I would do this on a Yamaha zf07 which is my dream beginner motorcycle

[@llBlindMolell]

I am waiting the answer from the bank to switch my Ducati Monster 1200S 2k18 for this beast... one advice, never go to KTM test ride day... it will fuck everything!
