2024 KTM 1390 Super Duke R EVO On Track With Jeremy McWilliams | First Ride!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Should I ask KTM for another private track session with Jeremy Mc Williams on 1390 Superduke's? 😅😅😅

[@ChaosAttractor13]

I highly recommend this bike for beginner riders. 😇

[@charliestoybox2099]

Two rules for trackdays Smokey. 1: Have a blast! 2: It’s all about the pics! Well done.

[@sumdude2247]

New to your channel Mr. Smokey watching from Canada, I appreciate your humor and style of content, it's more relatable than some of those other too serious reviewers. I did chuckle at the way you enjoyed the 4th gear power wheelies, that's what it's all about right there. I just ordered the new 24 1390R evo, picking it up next week. Will be my first twin and KTM, 5th bike though. Keep up the good work!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Welcome aboard! And congrats on the purchase of the beast 😎👌🔥

[@joeridestrijcker445]

the 'knobby thing' is attached via cable to your brake lever; you can use it to adjust the lever travel in case you experience some fading during the session (like an extension of the adjuster wheel of your lever towards your left hand)

[@LifeofSmokey]

Oh damn! Thank you so much 😊🙏

[@miguelcosta530]

great video thanks for sharing the experience chears

[@leooneill1693]

Big thumbs up mate, was great to see your lines improving with your confidence. Knee down will come with a bit more practice and track time. Looking forward to seeing you purchase a 2024 Duke!

[@LifeofSmokey]

I have a little scratch on my right knee 😂. But I was really improving fast thanks to Jeremy. When he rides in front of you , looking backwards with one arm....you know you can go faster 🙈

[@petervautmans199]

You know HE can go faster @@LifeofSmokey

[@dertobi257]

1:16 damn Smokey, i thought you just wanted to get some food.... That also explains the fistbump with the niece of the KTM boss xD

[@LifeofSmokey]

Damn hahaha I got LATE again haha 😂😅😅😅

[@simonbeal2148]

laid again 🤣

[@deureka2002]

Great video man, great brand !! I even got goosebumps in your curves 😁

[@xs6717]

Well done Smokey!

[@alexdesamsonow822]

I just wanna ride one of those beasts, just once!!!!!!! 🏍️

[@airmotivewelding8012]

WOW what a blast, Uncle Smokey on track! Great video hoss, the sound of an LC8 with Titainum exhaust is so DAMN GOOD!!! Thanks for the RIDE!!!

[@indiamelia639]

Best 1390 video! Looks so much fun 😁

[@Matthewlewis24]

I’ve watch 3 other reviews from this event and this one by far is my favorite 😂😂😂 way to ride Smokey

[@stevemanners1]

Hell yeah Smokey, Great video, made me chuckle 😂 real fun you had!! Keep up the excellent work dude!!🤪👍🏼💨

[@motoken]

Dont worry about getting the knee down. It's all about corner speed...itll just happen automatically.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Still scary as hell to me 😅. My right knee did have a small scar 🙈

[@motoken]

@@LifeofSmokey glad to see you had fun there! It's what it's all about. It is quite addictive.

[@fatyank44]

That was fantastic, what a bike..

[@4tech69]

KTM - Wheelies in the rain? Sure why not.

[@P6_7R_Nick]

I predict you will be invited to every KTM road bike launch from now on. They are looking for advertising material and you give them that. Sit down wheelies, stand up wheelies, you just need to perfect backing it in and you've got the golden ticket. Nice work Smokey, you're doing awesome.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Yeah riding 3 motorcycles in 2 days not knowing what is going to happen , just knowing about the new stuff on the motorcycles 5min in advance is hard. I also don't want to become old school rambling about numbers standing next to a bike. KTM asked me to do standups , stand next to the bike and talk about it but I declined. I hate doing that and it's really boring to watch so I skipped haha. But thank you for your comment , I'm working on how to create the perfect videos for future stuff.

[@johndemmink3539]

Good video Smokey, looked like lots of fun.

[@borisbommen]

I believe slicks need to be in a warmer before on track. They are way harder then street tires and need to be hot before they grip more then street tires 😅 Nice video btw 😊

[@LifeofSmokey]

Yep they where in heaters before I got the bike. Me keeping them hot is something else 😂

[@borisbommen]

@@LifeofSmokey 😂 yeah its a different league but then again you did it 👍

[@BishBosh2010]

And you didn't stuff it. Ace, well done, great fun. Jealous....yes!

[@Ale-i6q]

A little slower than that….and this could seem the test of a bicycle 😂

[@JimJuno]

You're on a roll aren't you Mr. Smokey 😎👌

[@LifeofSmokey]

Not yet but I'm going places 😅. I'm working a bit to much at the moment so I can't fully focus on this channel 😭

[@JimJuno]

@@LifeofSmokey Just keep it up man, you're doing awesome. Enjoy it ✌️

[@iamthemobey]

I love you videos because you're more like a normal rider than most of the other motorcycle journalists out there.

[@LifeofSmokey]

Normal? I'm the worst 😅👌

[@R19Robbin]

This really is a SUPERduke 👌

[@Totocellux]

Nice video. >24k$, and the front brake fluid reservoir vibrates too much, bro ;-)

[@ItsGosho]

That I call bike review

[@tsarnevits]

This, the V4S or the M1000R? :)

[@ionutalexandruradu9873]

V4S. At least you get a beautiful bike for this money.

[@ktmfanatic]

i have 2008 super duke 990r

[@TANRAJU15]

Yeah bro

[@dougi1967]

At American track days most organizations don't allow wheelies, it's sad....

[@gheorghevlad3889]

Very nice, Smokey!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Thank you kindly,

[@johnmoe2806]

So cool you got to met the master himself and actually have him guide the best line for you. Oh and rain sucks.

[@benjaminpetty2862]

Do you like this or the street fighter V4 more?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Same 😁🙏

[@ChapoRR]

Laughing at learning burnouts, but you can’t even corner

[@OctopusVlogs1982]

hey smokey, where is the 1390 you got from the dealer (the black one)

[@dertobi257]

I don't think he got that, i think he was just allowed to unpack it

[@OctopusVlogs1982]

bro watch the full video of it he took it with him in his trailer@@dertobi257

[@LifeofSmokey]

Haha no he is right. I put it on a trailer for an Instagram video. Video did over 13Million views. The bike was unboxed at KTM headquarters in my country. 😁

[@OctopusVlogs1982]

is that bike with you or not now@@LifeofSmokey

[@PhilippevanHeek]

why is the exhaust so silent ?

[@LifeofSmokey]

It's not in real life. Mircophone is inside my helmet 😊

[@HiadiLym]

Not bad 👍

[@brucekendall52]

Good for you,cheers.

[@bartgezels2324]

Super. 😮

[@ianferrier235]

Fun fun Smokey

[@johnshropshire3399]

Great video 👍 love the commentary 😂

[@Technonsia]

can it stand still at the traffic lights without blowing the head gasket in the summer at 40 degrees Celsius?

[@peterbalac1915]

That won't be a problem in the Scottish highlands 😂

[@Vittorio_]

3 videos in 3 days..NICE Hope your efforts pay off

[@LifeofSmokey]

I had fun , that's the most important 😁

[@simonbeal2148]

couldnt ask for a better track guide and first time on track and on slicks 😬

[@LifeofSmokey]

I sure as hell could ask for a better guide taking me to the hotel later on that night. Dude has no speed sense anymore , not even in his Audi A1 haha

[@Saint_Maximus_III]

Jeremy really helping smokey today

[@tarms1650]

Smokey is one lucky MoFo. I did have to mute the sound when you kept talking about watching some guy’s ass. Here’s to 30 more years of all DUKE (insert John Wayne on 1390 cameo).

[@6speedsti241]

HELL YES

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

Smokey very good ride of this beast😊

[@angelwink]

🤩

[@Rocketboy-qg6ts]

Red bull gives Smokey wings 😂

[@BigDawwwg101]

The excessive commentary is just agony to listen to.

[@QuikNik14]

🍼

[@GSXR_Jake]

Then don’t watch it.

[@BigDawwwg101]

​@GSXR_Jake I didn't haha. Reported too :)

[@pabloolmusm1182]

Great video Smokey. Could you briefly explain how to do a burnout? Thks!

[@LifeofSmokey]

Front brake , calves against the footpegs , lean forwards , tons of gas and release the clutch as fast as possible. Easy :-).

[@michel7281]

Still can’t believe KTM invited you 🙈😂 only thing you can tell about the bikes is “oh shit”. But fair enough you are not pretending to be a journalist… or “track specialist” 😂💪🏼

[@LifeofSmokey]

Well with +50M views on Instagram last 2 months , over 25M on TikTok and an average of 3-4M monthly views on KZbin I have become the most viewed motorcycle channel in our country and The Netherlands by accident haha. I also don't cost these motorcycle brands any money , as some journalists ask money to write articles. Also the reason why some journalists have been talking badly about me behind my back to brands....lol. I'm also riding a 1390 says the title , it's not a review haha. But fair enough tho I'm also asking myself why Brabus send me to Dubai this week. I have no idea....

[@kahkengchong7169]

Ktm is crazy and i need it

[@wanzikry7608]

thats why red/white on where we should be on line

[@johnjacobs3365]

[@petervautmans199]

I saw a guy on a gs poppong a wheelie while entering tha Antwerp ring last saturday, you are a bad influence on riders in your region, bad smokey

[@LifeofSmokey]

I know from nothing 😂🙈

[@69deleteSystem32]

Did you meet sagar sir too?

[@lmpcgaming4379]

Baboon back headlight 😂

[@gxtoast2221]

I wish more reviewers would actually review bikes like Michael Neeves instead of behaving like sycophants to the brand. Just review the bike for what it is and leave out the screaming and wailing.

[@LifeofSmokey]

There is a video for every type of viewer. And after owning 3 Superduke R's most people know the screaming was just for show cause I'm used too it 😁. However the analytics say it's a good video and has high like ratio but I agree....should have explained more and screamed less. Thank for your feedback

[@rodneyharwood5428]

nice mono smokey

[@Beastrider80]

😅😅 1 Set Slicks for nothing! With your lean Angle and Cornering speed, a Sport Touring Tire would be completely sufficient🤣🤣

[@LifeofSmokey]

Offroad tires would be even more than enough haha

[@Beastrider80]

@@LifeofSmokey 😅😅👍

[@dylanjamesweggz3573]

Yeah I’m sure it’s all quite overwhelming but the excessive shouting that’s not relevant to feedback pertaining to the bike is a little annoying… ultimately the superduke is a monster made for monsters.

[@sjorsdoves90]

Nederlandser engels word het niet he maat

[@kristot4000]

guy does not know anything about brake lever adjuster?

[@LifeofSmokey]

Nope not at all , if you are new to the channel , I can't ride track , I crash most bikes I ride , I can't ride offroad and I don't know much about motorcycles. Just a heads up 😅

[@kristot4000]

Being honest is a good start @@LifeofSmokey

[@mr.lobster2517]

Jammer van de regen! Je begon er net in te komen. Bij mij is het omgekeerd. Geen schrik op circuit … maar wheelies? Naaaah don’t think so. Next up: Smokeywheelie_course? 🤓

[@LifeofSmokey]

Gewoon veel gas geven 😂🙈

[@LifeofSmokey]

En ja door Jeremy te volgen ging ik meteen pak dieper en mijn knie is lichtjes geraakt haha.

[@mr.lobster2517]

@@LifeofSmokey hahaha 😜 maar dan nog … houdt de wheelie maar eens aan he. Ik heb er de ballen (nog) niet voor 😌

[@Bikelife9920]

🎉❤

[@marcusgeorge1825]

The constant wheelies just make you look stupid in front of the pits. Especially when on slicks and are taking corners like you’re on slicks when riding on a wet track. AKA very slow. Granted you mentioned your lack of experience and racing with slicks does take time to adapt to and have confidence in.

[@henrikjensen7048]

Guidare in silenzio ....non sei al luna park

[@dubreg6711]

This bike is too much for you, get some track lessons it’s not all about wheelies

[@dubreg6711]

Sorry no hate btw I like your channel I just read my comment and it came across a bit shitty, hopefully you understand what I meant

[@ParagonGarage]

This guy definitely should not be on the track these bikes are beasts for sure but it has super soft rubber tires not hard plastic ones🤷🏼‍♂️ what a wuss🤦🏻

[@darnhard]

less talking would be good lol

[@martinstrasser3228]

In Spain we say...no tienes ni p***a idea de llevar moto. Sorry, but why you go so slow?

Too much talk. No enough skill
