As much as I absolutely love my 890R, I fear the pricing is way off for this 😬 realistically its £13.8k with the tech pack (the 990R will no doubt be closer to £15k). Looking around today, whilst my 890R was serviced & I can get a brand new 1290R with tech pack for £13.8k or a 1290Evo for £14.5k (their new 890R was £10.8k with tech pack, £10k without). I know the 1290 will be 'outdated' when the 1390 comes out, but come on it's a hell of a deal & 4yr factory warranty too!

It’s kinda of ironic the more speed limits go down the more power bikes get and there’s no more boring feeling than riding fast bike slow. 890 seems like a good bike for the road. I had Ducati s2r 800 in the past and I had so much fun riding it. Replaced with a brand new street triple in 2007 and what a boring bike that was in comparison. So much better and faster for sure but so much less fun (without getting into trouble)

Absolutely. This comes to about 16K usd, the 990 R will be 17K+ usd. 2023 Super Duke Evo's can be purchased brand new right now for exact same price as the 990. This is before the 1390, after the 1390 is announced the 1290's will be FAR LESS than the 990 non-R.

KTM originally took off by making (almost) ready to race bikes with better reliability (+ limited warranty) than modified yz/cr/rm with almost the same price. Now you have to pay more, have to fix the known problems before you start riding it and the "race readiness" performance has diminished by quite a lot and might be worse if you just upgrade other bikes with the amount of money you saved off from not buying ktm. I wonder how long is this going to last.

In the market for a middleweight. My concern with KTM is build quality, full stop. I had a 1290 SAR that was an absolute lemon, so it soured me to the brand. We have ST 765 RS Moto2 editions available in the US, often at below retail. I'll likely be going that route. Cheers.

Me too, my SDR 1290R was also a lemon, costing me approx £300 per month for the 12 months I had it. Before that I had a 990 SMT and the head bearing failed at under 3 months old without wheelies. I got annoyed with the 1290 and got a 390 Duke for the morning commute and for the 7 months I kept it, it would stall on every ride until it was up to temp. Most often in corners or on roundabouts. Such a shame…. After a 3 year break I got a 790 Duke and didn’t like it much (can’t explain it, snatchy and temperamental) so went back to the dealer who didn’t want it because he had a shop full he couldn’t get rid of at almost half price 🙈 I will not have another. Everyone needs to walk their own journey but there’s mine. Could’ve bought a top end bike at twice the money and been better off in the long run. Maybe…

Hi guys, have I understood the price correctly ? 12990 £ ? Which are nearly 15K euros 😯😯😯 So if an R version should come, it would cost around 17K euros ? Are they crazy ? I was waiting for this new Duke 990 and more specifically the R version to replace my 890 R but I think I'll go for a used SuperDuke R or the new MT09 SP. What a shame KTM.

Remember when motorcycles had a cable from the grip to the engine throttle? Remember when they were scary to ride because there wasn't bubble wrap between the rider and consequences? Yeah those were interesting times. Now we pay massive amounts of money for a strong bike, pay even more to turn on electronic nannies, and even more to remove restrictions and give us the actual power. It's like you gotta pay another 1/3 the whole motorcycle price to peel back all the layers of the engine onion and see what's actually under it. Now manufacturers are putting traction control on 400cc bikes. WHAT KIND OF POPPYCOCK.... Manufacturers stopped innovating many years ago, and now all the technocrats have taken over the firms.

Idk about this bike. But a lot of bikes will kind of skip the wheel. It really depends on how aggressive the wheelie control is set. Some will cut power before it ever comes up, others will cut power just as it comes up giving you a sketchy feeling skipping front wheel. I'd rather nearly loop the bike grabbing a handful of throttle with no wheelie intervention than to have it skipping the damn wheel everywhere begging for a tank slapper

@@TheAsheybabe89 I agree with the older electronics hence my question. I have a first gen 1290r and the wheelie control sucks. It abruptly cuts power and dumps the front wheel like a lead weight. With newer electronics, they have the ability to set an angle and modulate ignition and even rear brake to keep a wheelie going. Granted this may create a legal liability issue.

Had a shot on the 890R last year and I was really impressed with it, I think this will be even better. That said I'm happy with my 1998 CBR 918 RRW. A little bit heavier (not much) steers super quick, more power slightly, smoother engine, is cheap to insure, looks great, has a decent fairing, sounds ace, and that's a 25 yr old motorcycle. I like this new KTM I really do, but I also like my CBR and it was paid for years ago. These software upgrades, you don't need them you don't.... they're selling them to you and it's money for old rope, but you feel pressurised into buying them because it affects your resale value, and that grips my sh*t a lot. That said if I was feeling flush I'd deffo take this over the 1290 though, I think it's the better bike, that's just me though, the 1290 will always sell more because willy waving is a thing.

I was hoping for 150bhp when I heard it was in development, the gap between the big superdunne and the lower models is too big.

What an incredible looking bike! I bought a Duke 790 a few years back and sold it because they were in high demand in the states for a while. Regret that decision all the time...

as a owner of a 2023 890R idk how i feel about this 😅, power specs is basicly the same as the 890R but with worse brakes, suspension, ect. but it looks pretty nice. hopefully my duke wont lose all its value tho;_;

Can see some original 990 designs brought into this. The orange seat for one, the tank design also looks a bit similar. My old 990 (which made me famous throughout KZbin for my "I'm changing the tyres soon coz they're fu££ed" comment one minute before I binned it knee-down on a left hander) is probably the best KTM I've owned, but sorry...I'm not paying £13K for another one. Definitely would prefer a used 1290 😢

I really like the looks of this, but the only thing that stops me from purchasing a new bike/car is the tech. I just feel that the thing that dates cars/bikes is the tech, especially these screens. Give me all the features but hide them and give me an analog dash any day. There is a reason why classic cars and bikes are regarded as timeless and beautiful and I think it’s the lack of tech.

I’m sure it’ll be a hit… but I’m not sure I understand their strategy with the 790/890/990 mix of engines. They’re all the same, yet not.

For 12-13k you can get a 1290 with very low miles. Think this ones gna struggle untill it gets down to under 12k tbh.

As a big fan of freakish, bizarre, cyberpunk designs, I love this. To me, this is one of the best looking bikes ever made and even prettier than some of the other Duke and SuperDuke models - it's just super geometric, muscular and angry. Love that the headlight blends the SuperDuke style with hints of old 990 and the unusual 2009 Duke supermoto cluster, which, incidentally, was the best bike I've ever owned. Will aspire to a 990 Duke one day (and in the mean time bag an older model on the cheap). Cheers chaps. Only slightly disappointed you didn't hit us with a 'Sepang' in there... 😜
