New SuperDuke R have 145Nm torque at 8000rpm Streetfighter V4 123Nm BMW M1000rr 113Nm KTM has a lot more torque 🚀

[@pramukh108]

V-twin which he’s missing to mention 😅 so it’ll be slightly behind 15 hp compared to street fighter

[@Hugo_WP]

@@pramukh108yeah I own a Streetfighter V4s but would love to have a Streetfighter with a Panigale 1299 engine instead 😂

[@Jim-hm7fb]

Not only that, it will be putting out more torque by a chunk everywhere and only be down on bhp when the other bikes rev beyond 10k.

[@vikaskaila3552]

Torque monster

[@athiannedesirejeanhugues2023]

No more bro!!! We have a monster predator now 😂😂

[@mcdonaldslover52]

they only increased the cc to manage the increased restrictions with euro emission standards. same with every other manufacturer

[@trippyvapors]

Just brought home my 1290 R. Thing is an absolute beast as soon as you twist the throttle but some how, so easy to ride around town. Absolutely love it.

[@randyheiser5367]

It's a permagrin machine.

[@Spy-Pigeon]

Chase- im feeling heat by my ankles Bro thats were the exhaust is 😂😂😂

[@z-ro34]

KTMs are definitely a taste i have not acquired.

[@tannerkennedy4941]

I like the superduke GT over the pure psycho naked

[@madrat5176]

I think of them as Chinese cycles 😂

[@rjway5923]

Be ready to empty your wallet because they come with the most quirky issues ever and the dealer will tell you that installing a frame slider is making your engine misfire.

[@tannerkennedy4941]

@rjway5923 I've had one. It had its quirks. Their reliability seems shoddy although not everyone appears to have issues. It is a shame on China topic though. I had a 2017. Not sure if issues have been addressed on newer bikes. I probably won't buy another KTM.

[@rjway5923]

@@tannerkennedy4941 quirks have not gotten better, it’s electrical issues nowadays. The lower cc bikes are now put together in India. I would rather buy a bike made in Mexico still repping a quality Austrian company but I can’t support ktm no more. Dirt bikes seem to be the only thing they can get right reliably.

[@Bahle_Gaji]

Editing is more fun. I like it 😂

[@laggers44lol]

bro the side profile of that bike showcasing the engine like WOW thats a giant motor man lol

[@TheJosheaslon]

The vibrations get better throughout the break in period. My 1390 is 400 miles in and the engine is getting better by the miles

[@Bahle_Gaji]

Please get the bike back in after break in or find one past the interval. We need to see full beans 🥲

[@martinmackye9865]

Got a 390 adv. 6k miles mostly offroad... Beat the s out of it. Zero issues. Insanely fun. Thought i would throw my 2 cents in since so many are bashing ktm on here.

[@stevie9361]

100% my next bike

[@Starship007]

I have owned 2 Super Dukes. All that power and Torque below 9500 rpm. Perfect for the street. I want to buy this one

[@admireinspire]

I imagine the looks are super polarizing but this is one of my favorite naked bikes of all time. I love the headlight cluster so much.

[@dbandler1]

Got mine last week and it goes to redline during break in

[@Lochlann13]

I have an SD 1290R and it's definitely not the fastest bike, but it will get to that top speed faster than anything I have ever ridden. The torque is absolutely _insane._ It can (and happily will) wheelie all the way through third gear at any speed.

[@rhinof2048]

You're definitely mistaken on your torque figures. The KTM is the HIGHEST in its segment..NOT the lowest.

[@athiannedesirejeanhugues2023]

It's exactly what we NEEEEEEEEDDD

[@foyosu]

Here for the rolling shots 👌

[@JohnDoe-dp4kx]

Terrific job on this review especially with all the nice views of the bike moving not only from the pilot seat!

[@HornReaper]

This is probably the best overall review of the bike iv seen so far. The look on the bike is so damn nice i had Order one a few days ago, i couldn't wait. now i am driving a 790 duke so, it gonna be a good upgrade.

[@bryanhaynes8761]

Love my Superduke as it’s totally different looking to others bikes. I also have a T7 and it’s a great combo of very different bikes.

[@MT_HAND3D]

Great review chase. Always love your first ride videos. I'm more interested to be honest, in when you will do a first ride of THEE 2024 MT-09. Any idea when you can make that happen? Again great videos hope to see that very soon.

[@PixelPartyAi]

Sick 🔥

[@WynterK]

LOVE this bike🔥

[@shanemartinson5006]

OC: that is exactly what we need.... I bought a gen 1 last year, and it's my 1sst hyper naked, love it. I actually think it's the perfect street bike. Being someone who has only bought sportbikes in the past, and still has one, I really don't think I'll be buying another one, this class of motorcycle is so much better for the street. The torque on these motors is amazing, and makes a simple ride to work just plain fun. I can just ride easy and chill, or I can attack the turns, all in one bike. Really wish I would have bought this class of bike sooner.

[@daveo9844]

Me too 👍🏼

[@JcWRX001]

OC: people who say we don’t need bikes like this are the type who think a beige 2004 Toyota Corolla is all the car you’ll ever need. 😂

[@urmailingalen]

Dude I sat on one the other day! Is it just me or when you sat on it and you found the balance point, I felt I was on a razor blade how balanced it felt side to side

[@krazokid19]

What a beast!

[@greedsmack]

Overall good video, but I personally would prefer the meme-yness be tuned back a bit. Its a little over the top for me personally, but if you enjoy doing them this way more, go for it.

[@vivir_en_ruedas]

[@iyaychannel9412]

Hi chase, is that a new quad lock base mount? Thanks! RS always

[@rebelshark9911]

chase talking about riding on pot-holed raods.. us brits- wait you have roads without pot-holes?

[@512460]

Pahaha facts

[@clarklimbaugh822]

That 1390 looks like a monster, it's in the running for my next bike. You should review a ZH2 SE, that's my top pick for the moment

[@TheItalianZone]

Nice surprise with this one!

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

So in terms of absolute peak hp, the M1000R and Streetfighter V4S make 205 and 208 respectively. In terms of torque though the Superduke has them both beat out hard, especially at lower RPM’s. 107 ft lbs at 8000 rpm… vs 83 ft lbs at 11,000 rpm (BMW) and 90 ft lbs at 9,500 rpm (Ducati) perspectively… the BMW and Ducati both need to be revved, whereas the Superduke you can keep in lower gears…

[@chaseontwowheels]

Hmm, might have got my research from a different place. Makes total sense though.

[@helgejohan3604]

9/10 Tourque😂more like 11/10✊🔥in sport mode

[@mattweimer5067]

Bike is sick!

[@xmetalgearx]

Did they upgrade the turn signal switch? Coz the previous model was crap.

[@jonathancarterHVAC]

Here for the duke 🤴🏻

[@Daniel-dj7fh]

I like the previous headlight more, but pretty cool

[@Frank_Torre]

OC: Honestly I'm not a fan of most KTM bikes, but damn I love the SuperDuke. I test rode a R Evo last year before getting my RSV4 Factory limited and I nearly bought it. I was testing out a bunch of top end hypernaked bikes and IMO the SuperDuke R Evo beats out the Streetfighter V4 and S1000R. It's got less power and torque compared to the others, but it was easily more fun to ride. It's the perfect hypernaked for any psychopath on 2 wheels. It be a hard purchase for me. If I wasn't going from a MT09 SP I might have gotten the Evo. Then I test rode a RSV4 Factory limited and knew I was getting it. Still the SuperDuke R Evo is an incredible bike, especially when it's black with orange accents to go with the frame.

[@1969cmp]

Tuning in from Oz 🙂

[@mitazakee]

How does this compare to the mt10 and would you daily this over an mt10

[@yohaan9]

I've ridden only the 125, 200 and 390. But I've realised they all hit fall neutrals just light you did in the video.

[@Maoshung]

Question for anyone out there with a 1290 that has ridden the 1390. Is the sitting position much different? Is the 1390 substantially more aggressive? Which one would be more comfortable riding for long periods of time?

[@skanetic]

I think the integrated taillights like this one have are sleek but I do have to wonder if they reduce safety, especially when slowing for a turn with your signal on.

[@justicehagins]

Your videos are Awsome 😂😂😂

[@michoan1011]

My 22 SDR is a monster, I want to try out the 1390 to see just how different it is

[@Hugo_WP]

I would love to test that thing

[@muhammadaugive7184]

its actually good and you are right the bike is slow for the streets but its fun and its fast in the track and tbh for the bike to be better you just need to open limiter on the bike and its all good

[@Svensken8R]

What an (tamed) Monster! ..slowest class or not. Nice video. Tk

[@Svensken8R]

I'm not sure about the headlight? or whatever that is right! I don't care if it's any good or not.. it's looks, well.. The motorcycle looks strange from the front -Sorry KTM. And ofc it has to breath so you made room for it to do so.. The rest of the bike looks good tho, that exhaust pipe twisting all over the place make it look badass.

[@fernandoar91]

Ma dream bike ❤ some day....

[@ridingwithralseek1224]

Do you think you'll test out the 990 Duke when it comes out?

[@justultrra3568]

I recently sold my SV650 because I just can't get enough of my KTM RC390. It's truly an experience despite its considered small engine. My only gripe is KTM is that I can't afford more of them at the moment

[@volodymyrshoniia2424]

Maybe 1390 gt will be the ticket

[@kaspercranmer9334]

I would live to know what you think of the 990 duke

[@SteveSzss]

Performance is not capped out. I just bought this bike last weekend. It's a function of engine heat not service. When cold you're limited to 5500 rpm... Once warm it redlines as normal. Stock seat is not good. Too thin and digs in to your thighs. My 2018 Superduke seat is way better. Need to check the KTM ergo seat for my 1390.

[@apollo.r1]

The heat underneath the bike is of course the exhaust but the biggest factor is the catalytic converter.

[@xxthehuskycaboosexx]

The front end is a step backwards

[@MrWhitelightning73]

Nice looking bike.

[@LOLewie]

the headlight looks like The Predator's mouth open. And I love it

[@JCrozier1]

since when does 190 hp only get a 9 out of 10 for power??? WTF!!!!

[@marco696975]

I still like the 2019 more. And more comfortable bike after trying the 2024.

[@motovii5889]

I CAN ONLY FIND 2 aprilea first rides why don’t you do more

[@rullehejs]

I like your reviews but you need to get your facts straight. It’s not 8 valves pr. cylinder. It’s 4. Neither the BMW or the Ducati delivers more torque and you have to go to M territory on the Beemer to deliver more horses and that’s means more cash on the counter and I’m guessing the Ducati aint cheap either. So when comparing remember prices too 😊

[@BstinOgsxr750]

Please do a real first ride once the break in is done

[@viperq]

I wonder if KTM will produce a V4.

[@lucky02245]

i would do anything to be able to afford one of these

[@mymysgaming6858]

I want one

[@OM-sb2bd]

Notice that you often roll up to stop lights and stop signs in neutral, and then put your foot/feet down still in neutral. THIS IS BAD! Instead, when coming to a complete stop, you should always keep it in 1st gear, right foot on brake, left to the ground…..and check your mirrors to ensure that the vehicle behind you stops. STOP PULLING UP TO COMPLETE STOPS IN NEUTRAL! Only a matter of time before you’re squashed. Ride on. 🤘🏻☮️

2024 s1000r 165hp at 11k 84ibs-ft at 9250rpm. super duke is 190 at 10k and 107ibs-ft at 8k. maybe its not at as fast as the m1k though
