KTM 1290 Super Adventure R Review at fortnine.ca

[@fisticuf]

Your production quality is amazing, but more than that, your efforts really stand out. The fact that you care about the content being equal parts entertaining and honest is beautifully obvious. Bravo, RF9, keep up the good work.

[@FortNine]

That's what we strive for. Make genuinely honest content with our own spin. Glad you like it!

[@twistednemo]

I completely agree. The bits added for entertainment do not dilute the information density of this video. So the video is not just fun to watch, it covers so many aspects over its duration, the good and the bad. All in all, a well balanced and high quality review video. Excellent work!

[@In_Can]

I can imagine how amazed you will be with the current quality of fortnine.

are you doing a review on the 1090 r? Would you pick up the 1090 over the 1290 for a "Do-it-all" bike? It would be my only bike.

[@ChaosCauses]

Changing the bike review game!

[@motoryzen]

Meh, you'll spend most of your video reviewing the exact same bike criticizing it rather than reviewing it like you do every and any other bike other than the Yamaha r3. I've seen enough of your videos that I have room to state that much.

[@tyrides6566]

Ayyyy chase bro luv your vids dude

[@Captndarty]

Best motorcycle review video ever in the history of the world!

[@rajav2]

Nope, this is no where as good as the Africa Twin review.

[@DA2THFA1RY]

KTM is smashing it lately, definitely thinking about going orange for my next bike in the future

[@islanddreaming8591]

Except if you want the 690 , then the Husky 701 has improved on the KTM version.

[@DearMajesty]

yeah except they're unreliable pieces of crap

[@twistednemo]

Yeah, reliability has been an issue for me. But after my Duke's entire engine, two fuel pumps, display console and throttle body were replaced, it has had fewer troubles.

[@twistednemo]

Sourav Roy Yes, mine, a friend's and many others I would see at the service centre. Mine is a 2012 Duke 200 so the fact that it is an early batch unit is also a factor. I have been careful about the fuel level too. They have been unreliable I'm general. A friend of mine just takes apart the stock pump and replaces the motor with that from Denso. That does the trick. Maybe next time. Yes, 2016 bikes had many improvements. The Duke 390 had many issues corrected like the valve bending and camshaft scoring issue. Many parts are super reliable now while others are just terrible. KTM is just a little better than RE that way.

[@DearMajesty]

Yeah KTM are WILDLY unreliable....far worse than Ducati these days actually. Already several well-documented issues with the 390 motor. I owned a KTM 690 SMC not too long ago and it was a complete piece of crap. The first gen 690 engine is crap.... constantly stalling and bucking and kicking until 4,000 RPM. Frankly I don't even know how it left the factory like this...unridable. KTM uses two computers so it costs you a very cheap 2 grand to even attempt to fix the issue. Now onto the supermoto issues.....and ALL of them have this issue. All of them have a leaking gas tank, broken seat, melting turn signals, leaking gauge cluster. Not to mention that the suspension was not up to par and the transmission was garbage as well with false neutrals a common occurence. I wouldn't buy another KTM unless a model had been out for some time without any major issues (let the early adopters bite the bullet)...unfortunately this is not the case. KTM = Keep Taking Money

[@Nexus-6]

Wow, this is your best video yet. You guys are killing it with these reviews. More please!

This channel should be a household name. The production quality and narration is better than any channel on KZbin. No other channel has the same level of magic.

[@willusher3297]

As an owner of an 1190, I can confirm my ass is well done.

[@TedMV]

This is hands down one of the best bike reviews I have ever seen. Guys please please please keep this up. It's like watching the old top gear, only for bikes =D loving it!

[@johanjvdw]

I was thinking the same

[@EbonyPope]

Top gear was just crap. I want to hear specs and hear how the bike actually rides not some retarded morons who do stupid challenges. Fortnine is way ahead of these clowns.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Same! 5 years late but same 😁

[@fcukanj]

FUcking hell this is some quality shit.

[@TheKernables]

I have a 1290SAR now but I still watch this video whenever it shows up on my feed. I believe the power this bike has comes with loads of hot sauce and I love the way the brake feels but coming from a Sportster a Vespa would probably feel better. The off-road side of this bike is absolutely incredible for what it is and the road side is fantastic also🤙

[@IanFitzHarris]

[@DCCLourens]

When is the review for the 1090R coming :) ?

[@AdamNDJ]

Still love this video. It was instrumental in my decision between a Beemer and a Katoom. I chose to go with the KTM, but could never figure out if I wanted an S or an R. So I found a '16 "T" version and got a 2nd set of wheels (alloys) for it. 3 years with the bike and it is still a thrill every time I ride it.

[@PatrickFlinner]

You just set a benchmark for bike reviews. I am nearly....nearly contemplating selling my 1190 R for one of these. Or just upgrade the wheels, add the floppy engine heat cover (under the seat) and get it re-tuned for more horses.

[@islanddreaming8591]

Take the 1290 for a test ride and comment back here with your findings ;) .., I am guessing you already have a great bike but would like to hear what your view is (in comparison) as a long time 1190 R owner

[@RockabillyRambler]

WAY better than a michael bay movie.....

[@ZeRovira]

Your reviews are in a different league than even professional journos. I am impressed, keep up the good work!

Just want you to know this video is the definitive spark that got me interested in ADV motorcycles. I almost went with the KTM 1090 but I got a screaming deal on a Triumph Tiger. Changed over from a Harley street bob and while I loved the cruiser days, I've enjoyed my Tiger so much know I will never look back.

Now this was a very high quality content guys. The beginning was cinematic enough, the 'amateur home video' overlay in the beginning after "contact" was a nice touch. Keep up the great work. Also, if you have contacts in KTM, kindly ask them about the upcoming KTM Adventure 390 as well. Thanks. Wishes from India.

[@dbtrackz33]

You're really killing it here. I love your reviews as they are blunt and too the point. You don't coat it in a shiney sales coat like so many others and that makes it easy seek out your opinion. This video has a great story line, I love the production and edits/transitions are perfectly timed. You add enough levity to make it fun to watch. I have an R1200GSAW and it is my dream bike, watching this gives me goose bumps despite the choice to stick to the BMW.
