2024 KTM 1390 SUPER DUKE R EVO Unboxing | Exhaust Sound & Wheelie!

[@Toxicdemon2]

In black it really does look 🔥🔥🔥

[@BikingVikingHH]

I’ve always lusted after the KTM Big Duke, for me it’s the ultimate bike… except my 2nd gen FZ1 is about to have its 100k mi anniversary and I can’t imagine the reliability being ANYWHERE comparable to this rolling gremlin. .

[@kmfiz]

Congrats, I had the first gen FZ1, my second favorite bike I’ve ever owned.

[@ionutalexandruradu9873]

if you don't want potential headaches, I would stay away from KTMs (I unfortunately had to find out the hard way)

[@kmfiz]

My 2020 SDR has been great. No major issues. Best bike I’ve owned yet. Should be a good deal on gen 3’s now.

[@jaimeeee8589]

Cool story bro

[@BikingVikingHH]

@@kmfiz wow, three years old? Really stood the test of time lol how many miles?

[@TIMHARTTT]

Wow the black color on this bike really makes it one of the most badass bikes around, wasn’t sure about the orange color but now i want it in black ASAP 🔥🖤🔥🖤🔥🖤🔥

[@Asgardsrei]

I like it too. Matte black however is a problem for me, once you scratch it slightly you’re fucked

[@pranavhb1716]

As I would say that ktm designs even after 6+ years after release will look fresh and futuristic the 2015 duke's are prime example they still look fresh today

[@delivanttecho1775]

i love this bike but in india KTM is a very underrated bike because of some so called worst riders but one day i will import this bike to india its my dream 🙂🙂

[@Vegeta_ble441]

CHAPRI RIDERS destroyed such a good brand :(

[@dsaishivam396]

It's launching later this year buddy. And these day every bike is getting labelled as chapri

[@Samrat-r15k]

What you mean underrated??? Ktm india is biggest market of them that's why india have cheap ktm bikes here just do simple research dude. Yeah agree more popular attract more people which some of them defame the brand but it's ok that's not big deal like in foreign too people defame every super sport vehicle so would you stop buying it?? 😂

[@morbidgate7]

Great video as always Smokey.. Can't wait for the GT version 😍

[@My347LX]

I started my KTM adventure with a '17 GT and put about 25k miles and then to a '20 GT that I put about 33k miles. It was written off and without a true Gen 3 GT, I got a '23 R Evo that I have about 4500 miles on and it is an amazing bike. If this is a hint at the '25 GT...I will go back in a heartbeat!

[@gheorghevlad3889]

Man, I really like the look of this motorcycle.

[@MakTheSank]

It looks good in black. If it had the headlight from 1290 2018 or something similar it would be awesome

[@Legion_condor]

Your video is masterpiece as always. Manner of presenting material, humor, everything 👍

[@tarms1650]

Can’t wait to see you off-road on it!!

[@robertprosser6856]

That headlight will desperately need a cover to stop all the bugs!

[@kmfiz]

That’s the first thing I thought when I saw that front, no fun cleaning the bugs off. My gen 3 is easy to clean. 5 min wipe down, I’m on the road.

[@kadimsilahtar]

But there is the intake behind it😢

[@dsa4931]

That will block air intake........😂😂😂

[@MountainView21]

That was a proper unboxing, not like taking a phone out of a box lol.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Good question also , will do a full review when it has plates 😁

[@sohan56]

Absolutely monster bike and headlight are like ready to hunt 💪🔥👍

[@shaneryan9076]

if they made an option with a blacked out frame too it'd be slick

[@christoperivan]

Thought the same thing as I flirt with the idea of upgrading from my 18'

[@sumdude2247]

I really hoped for that too, didn't like the orange frame on black bike myself. I guess when you twist the throttle you'll forget you have an orange frame lol

Helo buddy I m from India nd today 1st time i see ur video nd trust me ur video make my day vry gud.. I hv ktm rc 390 too❤❤❤ U r vry humble nd kind person.. One day i will meet u definitely

[@pinoymasabaw7857]

damn smokey sick bike bro!!!!

[@fabiena1787]

You seem to be one of the first to get your hands on this bike. I've had a look at the orange one in the shop a few days ago. I can't wait for the full review, and to get your feeling about the benefits of the cam shifting technology on this torque monster. I must say, I enjoy a 1290 SAS daily, but the increase in tank capacity and the appeal of the new engine make the SDR Evo really, really appealing. But the price...

[@LifeofSmokey]

EVO will be so much harder to ride as your SAS. But with the new suspension that might change a lot...we are waiting for license plates so I can ride it. This one was the first in the country by the way. And most of them come in iron racks , I got lucky this one was in a box 😅

[@rumpoh8039]

HELMET YOOOP RICKK

[@nickrider5220]

Very nice, looks great in black 👍

[@rooststarfilmsmick4078]

forget the bike, what is that sweet little trailer setup? Awesome. Oh and new Duke is pretty wild to.

[@lukefish7562]

Oh daaaamn Smokey! You are a blessed man! Good for you! Can’t wait for this review. I think my Norden 901 is quick but the 1390! Shiiiiiit. I need one! 🏍️💨

[@LifeofSmokey]

Monday back to KTM , unboxing a new Norden 2024. Specially for you haha 😁

[@commanderroddi7742]

I want this bike (in black) SO BAD! I'm probably going to be like, what? $25k USD poorer? Had 2020 version of the 1290 EVO, and I LOVED that bike.

[@rythm6593]

HELL YEAH

[@davidherringgo]

Thanks for explaining the shift cam technology pretty interesting

[@Potabi666]

My wishlist superbike ever !!!

[@prrsnikety]

Great video, but.....Can we talk about that bike Trailer for just a second? That looks awesome. What is it?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Cochet French brand. I just pimped it out. Everything painted black , Brabus wheels under it like my car to fit the total picture 😎

[@bkrsrky]

you dont need to hold the starter button. just a brief push and it will krank it until the engine starts. I dont understand why nobody knows it, even my 2005 Ducati S2R 800 has it... I think, correct me if I'm wrong, KTM introduced it with the gen 3 1290 super duke with the new handlebar switch set.

[@LifeofSmokey]

I know it , even my 1290 SAR has is, but after riding and reviewing so many biked this year I can't keep track of what bikes has this and not 😂🙈

[@Annoying_Truth]

I want more sound! Cool bike

[@christophervillaos]

too nice to have this monster. my dream bike. I'll get you in a few years. SUPERDUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ChaosAttractor13]

I want that bike trailer at the very end.

[@thesunchaser.]

[@3330800]

This vid made me make up my mind and in black color as well👌

[@clarklimbaugh822]

I'm strongly considering one of these as my next bike, looks like a good upgrade from my 636. I haven't really been vibing with inline 4s, so I'm thinking a massive twin is the move. Hopefully they aren't too expensive once they finally arrive in the states 😬

[@kmfiz]

This LC8 twin is tops in my book. I have the gen 3. The tourqe is something else. You can have so much fun without revving it to the moon.

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

Definitely a big step up. It'll wheelie the first 3 gears easy unless you have wheelie control on.

[@LifeofSmokey]

I love the sound of a good 4 in line high revving engine. But I love coming out a corner in 3rd gear and that beast LC8 engine just picking up the front wheel like it's nothing on low rpm's 😁

[@clarklimbaugh822]

@@LifeofSmokey I also love the sound, but you really have to work hard to get to the power. Fine on twisty roads, but annoying on city streets. And the 600 body position is awful after more than 30 minutes non stop for me 😬 I knew the compromises when I bought it though.

[@jasonkendrick1974]

$21,500 base price in the US. See the Evo will be the only option for 2024 too.

[@remigusker6024]

Stunning bike. I LOVE the headlamp. Looks like a predator alien. In the market for new bike later in the year. This or the SFV4 if you had to choose?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Both....it's personal preference. They are both top notch to ride and I love them both. I'm very used to the LC8 engine so for me the KTM would win just for the engine 😅. But the V4 also nuts!

[@markholmes5695]

That doesn’t help at all Smokey lol😂 yes, you’re right excellent engine. Gen4 much more usable with the electronics (wheelie control) . Still though I’m fascinated by v4 engines. Seem the best of both worlds- v2 and inline4

[@bertinfreckmann6553]

The most BRUTAL/COOLEST/BEST big , naked Motor Bike in 2024...I only would order it with a better looking (louder?) Sport Exhaust !!!

[@bubsiesiegel]

Thanks for this, Smokey. When you do your review on the bike, can you go deep in depth to the various modes? Especially the wheelie and pro start mode.

[@LifeofSmokey]

The factory start and suspension....dude it's freaking rocket science 😂. The amount of settings and what it can do is over the top. But when it has plates , will take some time I will ride it asap and talk about it 😁👌

[@voyteq1]

You could do some video just about this new wheelie mode and show how does it work on each of 5 levels of wheelie control. That would be sweet 😎👍🏻

[@petermalm4649]

Hello Smokey. Awesome ride and awesome video. Where did you buy the motorcycle trailer? Or did you build it yourself?

[@LifeofSmokey]

It's a brand called Cochet , it's French. I had everything painted in black and put Brabus wheels underneath it that cost more as the trailer itself 😅🙈

[@TheSuperpod]

Damn brother. You got it faster than pro journos 👍 lots of good upgrades. Keyless rear seat opening is awesome to see after they did it on SA. I got so tired of flipping the key every time, I drilled a hole and had a mechanical pull cable to open the darn storage under the seat. I want SDGT, but since I am currently dukeless don’t know if I can wait it out and not succumb to the temptation of getting an R again. Although they are not in the USA yet anyway.

[@LifeofSmokey]

I'm taking over the classic pro journos , some of them already hate my guts in my country just because I get more views on my socials. Some even talk bad about me with brands I'm not working with yet and so on. I'm just doing my own thing minding my own business , not hating on anybody but damn it's a struggle to work myself up sometimes with certain brands 😂
