Don't F this one up KTM. I hope you have done rigorous reliability testing, mechanical and electronic. These machines are not cheap. Therefore, customers have high expectations. I would love to own a GT, but reliability and aftersales support are my biggest concerns.

Me too, man. I love this new GT. It checks almost all the boxes for me but the reliability keeps me away. Just too many KTM horror stories out there. I ride everyday and need a bike I can depend on.

[@drewyager4020]

As they should be. Fuel pumps and MTC Failure being two biggie problems

[@n0surrenda]

I'm a gen II Super Duke R owner. After paying the high price for this bike, you then have to pay a heap extra to 'unlock' features such as the quickshifter. You will likely be plagued by electronic issues. Oil leaks will probably come from the ignition cover where the CKP cable is. KTM will be slow to act on any warranty claims.

[@fs5866]

This problem I also have on the afria twin unfortunately, it's been fixed once under warranty but then started leaking again so now I'm just ignoring since the oil loss is not really significant enough to need any topping off between oil changes.

Et bien oui, vous payez deux fois les options, arnaque !

This looks amazing. I've had a KTM in the past, loved it. Still have a Husqvarna for dirt, but here in Thailand we can't rely on a dealer. We have had 3 different importers in the last few years. When will KTM distribute here from Austria and have local service and sale. Ducati, BMW, and Triumph are dominating here!

@@Jaszczur-sp2tx The 890 SMT sold poorly, lame detuned offroad adventure engine in a street bike and looked like sh1t. If they want to sell a 990 SMT they really need to put the original Duke 990 or 990 R engine in it and make it look somewhat decent. Nobody wants to ride heavy ugly "super-moto" with an lethargic adventure engine in it.

[@IanSixbikes-by6ei]

As a former 1290 Super Duke owner I seriously considered buying a Super Duke GT I took both of the previous generation Super Duke GT models out for test rides, they both handled beautifully, were comfortable over distance and had ballistic performance, the only thing I just couldn't get on with was the looks and for that reason only I didn't buy one however the 1390 Super Duke GT is much better looking and far more appealing and I look forward to seeing it in the metal and taking it for a test ride in 2025.

I think the 1290 platform has been quite a solid platform, also the 390 is not really known to have any serious problems. I think it's only really the 790/890/990 platform that has some serious flaws. but youtube comments are never really the best way to understand the scale of these problems.

[@MOTOUK1]

While I love the engine, a beast. Two things hold me back from ever purchasing one. 1) reliability 2) every KTM look the same, they need some styling changes between models

[@LonelyTreeSunset]

We'll know soon enough if they have solved their reliability conundrum. I have heard way too many horror stories, some direct and indirect, and considering the price, the issues that do occur shouldn't exist. For example, inferior part failures. The infamous fuel pump is one. Clutch slave cylinders are another.

[@LonelyTreeSunset]

...unsolvable electronic gremlins come up a lot, too.

[@florianglanzmann9556]

What a nice bike! I briefly had a 2022 Super Duke GT, which I loved. Still, I had to sell it after one season because as much as I loved the bike and its punchy character, as much did the constant electronics issues, the permanent brake fading, and the "Bremsschalter vorne" error annoyed me. I really hope you got this all fixed, KTM. If yes, this bike will land on my shortlist for replacing my BMW S 1000 XR as my future travel buddy.

I'm glad they mentioned the older GT wasn't up to snuff, it was the one I tested and didn't like its handling. Bought the current SAS instead. I will test the GT again and see if it has improved enough for a part-ex.

[@rickseconds7676]

Love my 19 SDGT! I wonder if KTM will ever put out a V4 engine, based off of their Moto GP bikes.

[@ShawnFin]

As a proud owner of a 2019 Superduke GT that has travelled all over Europe, I love the updates and glad it is finally "current" with the most recent chassis - this bike always had so much potential. However, my bike is now in the shop, because 4th gear blew up. So... KTM, what about reliability and taking care of customers? 1) NO handle for a pillion? On a touring bike? Wtf... the old design was bad enough. 2) Glad the passenger seat, is as high as the "marketing managers" nipples. 🤣

[@mark_decro57]

I don’t understand why people are watching this sort of videos? It’s all smoke until a rider jumps on a motorcycle himself and rides it. Everybody has different preferences and views on a specific bike. Until you test the bike yourself and find out how it feels and rides, no “company” reviews can help you! P.S. why they don’t talk about some dislikes or maybe some negativity about their bikes, would be nice to hear stuff like that also.

Distance control sounds awesome. So if I am on a twisty road and come up behind a slow car, the bike will automatically maintain a safe following distance while I can keep the throttle relatively steady? What happens if I want to pass? Do I have to turn off the distance control or will it automatically turn off as soon as I start indicating?

also mal ein kompliment. mal eine weiterentwicklung eines bike, das besser geworden u schöner geworden ist, als sein vorgänger. ich hatte die 2016 super duke gt. war technisch schon der wahnsinn u optisch gewöhnungsbedürftig. mit diesen upgrade ist es ktm aber gelungen , beides wieder zu vereinen. ein wirklich tolles, bike das fahrdynamisch mega sein wird. der einzige wehmannstropfen ist halt das gesetz. mit diesem bike bist du ständig dran deinen führerschein und nicht nur das , sondern auch neuerdings, das bike zu verlieren. denn keiner kann mir sagen, wenn man so ein bike fährt, hält man sich an die vorschriften. es geht mit diesem bike einfach nicht. glaubt es mir, ich hatte selbst eins, und die leistung ist einfach wahnsinn. du bist in jeder situation verführt den gashahn aufzudrehn, weil es das bike einfach fordert. also wo soll man dieses bike noch fahren können. man baut immer schnellere und bessere bike, übrigens genauso wie bei den autos, aber im gegenzug wird man immer mehr damit bestraft, wenn man das tut , für das sie gebaut sind, nämlich schnell fahren. einfach krotesk wenn man mit 100 km/h auf der bundestrasse damit fährt. das macht dieses bike locker u einfach mit dem 2. gang. es hat aber 6 gänge, wenn ihr versteht was ich damit meine. es ist wirklich ein bike, die motorrad fahren können. ich kennen einige, die es rasch verkauft haben, weil sie eben zu aggressiv war. aber bin mir zu 100% sicher, dass das 25 Modell, zwar immer noch extrem aggressiv ist wenn nicht noch mehr, wenn man die ganzen "helferlein" ausschaltet, aber bei "normaler" einstellung diese sehr sanft bzw. smoothed zu fahren ist. vl. lädt mich ktm ein für eine probefahrt um meine fahreindrücke von 2016 zu jetzt exakt zu schildern. würd mich echt freun ! aber zurück zum bike selbst. einfach gelungen, tolle linien, der hinterbau super geworden, einfach sportlich und dennoch super sitzposition. zu guter letzt, ich hoffe, dass ihr das bike zu 100% jetzt getestet habt und nicht dem Kunden das überlässt, das macht keine gute Laune u Kaufkraft. Es kann u darf nicht sein, dass man Wartezeiten und Ausfälle in Kauf nehmen muss, nur um Fehler die einfach nicht auftreten dürfen, dem Kunden aufdiktiert werden. Wenn Ihr daraus gelernt habt in Mattighofen und sich man nicht nur auf die Moto GP konzentriert hat, dann kanns gelingen. GRATULATION ☘☘

I have a 2019 SDGT and now looking to upgrade to the 1390 SDGT. I really love this bike because it's a GT. What I don't understand is why they reduced the fuel capacity from 23L to 19.5L... 3.5L is nearly 60-70km of distance which could make a MASSIVE difference on a GT bike. I love all the new changes they made, except for the fuel capacity. I'll still most likely purchase the 1390 SDGT, but it's such a shame what they did to the fuel tank capacity.

[@TheSuperpod]

I had 2020 gen 3 SDR and reliability was totally fine. Put 25,000 miles on it. The bike was absolutely phenomenal. But I needed something long distance capable. Bought 2022 SAS and didn’t like engine feel and wasn’t sporty enough , it did have some electronic annoyances, sold it rather quickly. I;ve been eyeing GT for a long time waiting for a proper update, it came a bit too late as went latest 2024 BMW MXR, awesome bike too, but if I am completely honest I miss LC8 feel and torque from the SDR. I am a very fast aggressive rider and have desolate roads to use the power band, but I am still convinced TQ figures of LC8 are more important and fun than sky high rpm HP numbers on the road. I think new GT is tits and I’ll be getting one in a year or two.

[@kevinm5530]

Very tempting... I owned a 2017 SDGT for several years and after countless issues I swore I would never buy a KTM ever again. When it works the bike is insanely good, but more often than not a new issue would pop up with either the electronic suspension, radiator, front wheel, various sensor issues and failures etc. Support from KTM was dismal at best and as I'm sure everyone knows these are very expensive to repair.

[@Chr-Re-ie]

@LonelyTreeSunset sorry don't agree with you.. I now drive a 2022 GT, it also has enough horsepower. Me and my wife are happy that she does not have to constantly hold on to me, but can choose whether she holds on to me or her hand grips. she usually holds the grips and believe me when I say that things often go hard and fast. By the way, I think it is out of all proportion that you have to order duo handles as an option on a (touring) motorcycle. You certainly don't want a top case on a 190 hp monster, it causes far too much instability at higher speeds and sporty driving.

Hm, i am a bit sceptical of the distance control. Almost always when overtaking i am accelerating towards the car i want to overtake and pull out in the moment where the oncoming car passes my position. That way i spend the least amount of time on the left side of the road. But in the video, it seems like distance control would not allow that.
