I went to the doctor for severe depression.. he prescribed a Superduke R. Hopefully insurance covers the cost..

[@iamtherealzombie]

Worst thing about the super duke R is that KTM puts all the quickshifter hardware on every bike but STILL has the balls to charge you for a key to unlock their use. Absolute bollocks, IMO.

[@ross5506]

I purchased 2020 1290R the only good thing that KTM did was they included the quick shifter with the "Teck Pac" at $899. plus taxes here in Canada. I tested the Tuono then the 1290R , couple of Saturdays ago come Monday I wanted the 1290R the only problem was they only had it in black. The salesman told me I can give you the Tuono right now available the 2019,for same price. No told him, I was to receive the 1290R this past Friday, still no bike! Now he's saying this coming Thursday or Friday for sure, never had such aggravation on the purchase on new motorcycle, sure hope it's worth it?

[@bryansuperduke1290r]

On some bikes you have to buy the part and fit it, but still about the same cost. Don’t forget loads of factory’s shut down and it’s going to take time to get bikes now.

[@fnq-8890]

KTM are such lovely people, especially when your bike shits itself for the umpteen time with known factory issues.

[@mbal4052]

I’ve just bought a new gen 3 with £300 off list price including heated grips, quickshifter and track pack 😁👍

[@expatbiker6598]

I wish my bike was like that. I thought I was saving money not getting the options. I wish I could just pay to get someone to unlock them. They don't exist.

[@theonlyredspecial]

Finally rode my mates 2020 super duke r and I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be so good even after watching a lot of bloggers saying how good it was. Engine pulls from everywhere and that front wheel lifts all the time. You can ride it sensibly if you have the willpower. 2020 one is a Smooth bike. . It’s crazy fun!!

[@wanterman5641]

I got a 2020 SUPERDUKE R, and everything you just said is on point, I love my bike and am glad to have one in my garage.

[@alexburns6141]

Awesome review. Put a deposit down last night.. bring on collection this Thursday!! Cheers dude

[@emmanuelblanc9390]

Hello from France! I bought this last week as replacement of the V2. Fully agree with your comments. This is an exceptionally Fun Bike also for everyday use (alarm, optional heating grips and even heating saddle with good under saddle storage room) 6,0 litres/100 kms on an unreasonably fast 330 km trip this sunday. The Bike has only 2000 kms so I expect this to reduce a little. Thanks your for your excellent videos !

[@marksmith8663]

Hi have you fitted a heated seat . If Is it comfortable ?

[@copasetic04]

Just picked mine up yesterday. It blew me away how much it just loves to lean. I've had gen1, and gen2, but this is night and day when it comes to cornering.

[@ross5506]

I've been getting the run around from the dealership last 2 weeks finding me the orange /dark blue, finally I get the call today that she will be delivered to my home this coming Friday. Never rode one, but being big guy and at 56 year's old sport bikes are a passed tense. Got my 2008 ZX-14 turbocharged for touring, this is perfect for country ride blasting and city riding. I can't wait see how it rides. Here in Canada you get Teck package with quick shifter extra $899. I guess Teck package is best you can get, they also had performance package?

[@user-hc5si5tw5p]

@@ross5506 zx14 turbo! How fast is that in the top end, or is it focused on bottom end. I love those bikes when I get my unrestricted uk license I'm after either a 1999/2000 carbureted hayabusa unrestricted, or a zx14 gen 1.

[@mbal4052]

Jaime Gonzalez I’m glad to hear that, I just bought a new gen 3..should have it next week 😁 I went for the new one because I love to corner hard, and of course pull big wheelies 😆👍😁

Loving your content at the moment Chops, just bought a 2020 SDR myself, absolutely awesome machine, I'm looking forward to your ZH2 and V4SF in-depth reviews.

[@ross5506]

So did I here in southern ,Ontario,Canada. Two weeks ago test ridden the Tuono back to back 1290R, within 24 hour's told salesman I wanted the 1290R ,but the orange/dark blue non in stock. Then offering me 2019 Tuono within electronic suspension, at same price very tempting, still wanting my 1290R this was 2 weeks ago, I was suppose to have it just last Friday. No fell through, this time told me found one promise me it will be ready this coming Thursday, sure hope it's worth it?

[@bhughes1986]

Ross guess you’re out on the bike?

[@davidhall370]

I’ve bet you’ve had a look around your garage.......🤔 “now what can I sell” 🤣

[@YamahaR12015]

Doing that currently 🤣 MT09 has to go

[@jamest5149]

I don’t blame KTM for charging for the various electronic packs. It makes the bike cheaper and an easy upgrade route if a buyer cannot afford the extra. The packs cost seem reasonable to me. The people complaining probably are not buyers. The bike is good value with or without the performance packs

[@linserr90]

Was going to order this bike but didn't because of all the reliability issues and bad warranty cases with dealers! Went with a speed triple RS instead because I can trust it and build quality is better too

[@patthonsirilim5739]

100hp is probably the limit of what you can realistically deploy on the road

[@debenhamdave4314]

Bike sounds great, love the thought of a hyper naked, although my Street triple rs is enough at the moment even that 765 unit can turn you into a right hooligan. Cheers Choppsy

[@ianchamberlain1631]

I gave this a 'thumbs up' before I even watched it as I find Mr LCR's video's very entertaining. Your enthusiasm is pretty obvious for this SDR. I'm in the market for my new bike at the moment and this was on the list but I just can't get over the looks of it. My other options are Ducati Monster S or the Triumph Speed Triple RS (I did toy with the idea of the new Ducati V4 but it's just too much money - £4K for a road legal Akra? Madness!!) Test riding them next week to try to make up my mind. There are too many great bikes about at the moment !!!!

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Ian 👍 yes agreed so many good bikes and in all honesty you wont be disappointed with any of them! This is the golden age of motorcycles I think, so much choice and such an incredible selection

[@ianchamberlain1631]

@@LambChopRides Waiting patently for the full review of the Ducati V4S sitting in your garage. When I phoned to book the test ride the salesman asked if I'd like to take one out but I've said no, told him it's too much money even though I could afford it. I think the Monster/Speed Triple will suit my style of riding more.

[@paulbradshaw9046]

The left switchgear is illuminated on my 2020 SDR, it's brightness has 3 levels of intensity. Must be a wiring issue on your bike. Also, you can set it to stay on night mode...

[@LambChopRides]

OK could have missed that then... Whoops

[@calvinbutler1888]

mine is lit up also..

[@geraldperry7779]

I just got mine few day's ago been raining so spent time figuring out teck package,can't seem get the traction control work when i put on track mode also the C1,C2 also having issues. I know that salesmen said KTM will have bluetooth working soon.

[@Edgunsuk]

I thought there was only 6 axis in this dimension CHOPS YOU BROKE THE WORLD !!!!

[@crownmoto]

I knew you'd love it. FYI - You may have a faulty bike. The left switch gear is illuminated, and offers 4 settings...Off, Dark, Medium and Bright. It also tells you on the bottom of the screen if the Anti-Wheelie is off or on. "AWM OFF". I've had mine for about 3 months and I average 42 MPG and 150 miles per tank with a very heavy throttle hand. Only bad thing about the new SDR (and all KTMs) is the KTM My Ride app that pairs your phone with the bike so you can view Nav, music and phone calls on the screen is crap. I can't even pair my phone with the bike

[@davidherringgo]

Sweet bike revie Chopsie. Truly a hooligans dream machine. Love my Gen.1 Happy New Year to ya . And safe travels

[@oolaspalmas]

It says if antiwheelie is off in bottom part of the display. Also what ABS mode you are. Anti wheelie is always on in sport, street and rain mode.

[@rustcohle6248]

"I don't feel like I have to just go banzai everywhere" Just what I wanted to hear, I got an mt-10 and love it but its just too aggressive and I find myself riding too fast all the time. Looks like i might be trading it in for this!

[@LambChopRides]

Yes it's a real issue isnt it especially when you can end up in jail!

What I did this year. From a MT10 to a Diavel 1260. And yes the Ducati is more enjoyfull to go slow but still will be able to go fast as hell. You should not fool yourself though becouse you probably will go fast on any bike becouse fast is fun. Just do it on the right places to minimize the risk. I will probably go V4 streetfighter next year. I done fooling myself lol.

However I've had two Tuono's previous to the SDR and in pure performance terms they might be a small percentage better than the Ktm but factoring in service costs , comfort, and Aprilias abissmal warranty claims and spares service the Duke wins every time. Short test rides never factor this in . When youve spent 8 weeks of summer waiting for a wheel bearing under warranty you might agree with me

Most modern motorbikes are "too much for the road". Thank god for the good people at KTM who continue to make bikes that excite. The brigade of riders who say things like that are lost and should take up golf! Don't listen to that lot KTM they are confused and conflicted!! We want crazy machines that make us wonder how they perform like that. Not ones that bore us through safety. Let the riders who think motorcycling should be sensible go and take up golf, and let the rest of us lose our licences and go to jail with big fat smiles on our faces if we so wish 😂😂😂 Thanks for the real review lovin ya work sir 🤙

[@SortItOotMan]

Anything probably beyond the original CB500 is probably too much for the road, or more acurately, more then anyone actually 'needs' for the road. It's a sad day we sold the CB500S. Keep Tightening (it) Mate.

[@575ban]

Adding my two pence. I had a gen2 1290 SDR and my opinion on the 1290 SDR is it is too much for the road. Yes it will go slow but who wants to go slow all the time. As a road bike to have fun on, the 1290 is to fast. I've now got a Duke 790 and love it. You can rag the 790, get it to pop, bang, burble, all well within life's tolerances. With the 1290 SDR, that's just not possible, it will hurt you, or get you locked up. I loved my 1290 SDR, but I love my Duke 790 more. Plus, you get track pack, quick shifter, auto blipper blah blah blah, all for free. Mind if you're over 6ft, the 790 is a small bike. Oh, did I say I have a 1290 SAS too 😉

[@LambChopRides]

Very nice nick and good points! 👍

I’ve just ordered a 2021 Superduke R. The switchgear is definitely illuminated here in Australia. I refused to pay for the quick shifter, the dealer didn’t charge me for it. Happy Days.

Bravissimo isn’t “beautiful” it’s more like Forte means to play loud in music vernacular. fortissimo is as loud as you can play. bravo is an applause or a praise towards someone or thing, and bravissimo is as much praise as you can give . Italy nationals do I have that right ?

Hi Lamb Chop i'm the guy that lives in S/W France.....Had mine a week too picked it up last weekend & immediately went to Spain & rode 500 km & of to Spain today & staying in a place called Sos Del Ray Catolico, back tomorrow & that should complete running-in...booked in next Thursday for service. I really wanted to change from 1290s after already having 4 but I know I made right choice ...absolutely love this bike. You're so right ...she is a beast but if you want to relax she can be a pussycat. Totally different bike to gen 1 & 2. Must go off to Viva Espana!!

If you don’t like high speeds get a SuperDuke, if your not going 90+ mph here in Miami, you will get ran over!!! So the Ducati StreetFighter V-4S has been an absolute BEAST!!!!!! POWER Everywhere!!! Bike literally pulls out of my hands at 125-mph!!! Incredible bike !! Faster it goes the better it feels. Lot depends on where you ride a bike!! I wouldn’t own over a 250-cc where Chops lives. I had the SDR, got tired of no top-end power!! I also had fasteners that broke on my SDR, and the kickstand bolts kept falling out , yes i used red Loctite and they still would fall out. 1,000 miles on the Ducati StreetFighter V-4S. O issues!!!! V-Twin sound is nowhere close to a V-4!!

I mean with the rider aids nothing is too much for the road. Look at the new S1K and Fireblade....Best thing about a V-Twin is you can lug it, best road bike ever.

[@stevieg933]

Get review as always! One thing you haven’t really mentioned was the build quality and ergos. I’ve had my gen 2 since it came out and I rode the new gen 3 recently - few things that instantly really stood out to me with a back to back ride was that the new bike definitely has more sporty ergos - the pegs are higher and you’re cantered over the front more, the build quality is a step above the old bike and it feels a bit more torquey in the middle of the rev range and thats comparing to my 2.0 with the full Akraprovic and race map. The new bikes such a great machine and ‘fixes’ all the flaws of the old bike - especially if you come from superbikes and are looking for something still sporty - the old bike has a more Supermoto position which some people may prefer. I’m really torn between trading my gen 2 in for this or the Tuono V4 factory (as the Tuono deals are so good and you’re getting a hell of a lot of bike for a lot less) - I’m just worried I’ll regret not having some variety and changing to a different engine (yum v4) / manufacturer for another 3 years if I get another SDR....

Yeah covered all the ergo stuff in the first ride video. And completely agreed with how you described it 👍

Last comment I promise- the 2021 SDR will only be a Generational Improvement IF KTM uses the RC16 v4... that is why I considered the 2020 an off year so no real upgrade only KTM bravely and successfully contending with more restricive Emissions Regs, a daunting undertaking for what will most likely be a very low volume sales year due to covid. The truly Generational Icon was the Gen1 SDR with the Gen2 refinements in digital dash, software and lighting lighting making the Gen2 so Iconic looking and performing. Gen3 not so much really. ok I ll shut up now and wait for my rc16 sdr.

I felt same way after test riding Tuono and 1290R,I wanted the orange version still waiting after 2 weeks, after they promised me I'd have it this past Friday. Been riding on the streets since 1980, purchased many new big bore Kawasaki's, until this bike. Not sure because of it's comfort also am big guy, was thinking of zH2 no way was cramped up. Bike built for older guys that rode many sport bikes, now want both worlds? I have ZX-14 turbocharged for touring, gets to hot for city and very heavy bike.

[@brianglendenning1632]

Mark, stop it. I am sitting on a s1000r and toying with the Tuono and SDR3...must find the time to test the SDR3 and run it against some runout SDR2 (which I have ridden before). What gets me is riding home on the BM is I think “this is still great”....

[@markshirley7639]

Ross I wanted the orange but wasn’t prepared to wait lol. Anyway everyone knows that black ones are faster 😂

[@markshirley7639]

brian glendenning nothing wrong with the s1000 very underrated and i preferred it dare I say to the tuono ! The sd 3.0 is on a different planet I’m hooked.

[@ragerider6283]

Great vid & bike. I absolutely love it. It's my favourite super naked by a mile. It's also not too expensive in relative terms compared to the competition & if you like a big a V-Twin, which I very much do, look no further imo. My only slight reservation is reliability as KTM's can be a bit iffy in that department at times.

[@LambChopRides]

Completely agree its incredible, KTM knocked it out the park with this one! I would buy one in a heartbeat if I was looking for a new bike

[@ricklombardo5769]

Great video, as they all are, one even better than the next! I noticed how often you used the clutch while riding at speeds that quick shifting should have been no problem. Just wondering...also wondering about Bellissimo in "Austrian"??

[@tomtraynor5384]

Will go for the GT version with all improvements and short tour/pillion ability next year. It's a trick: "I bough this (Superduke) Grand Tourer--for US, dear......". I think that will be a heckuva do-it-all bike.

[@pjbaddict]

Had mine a month now 850 miles... (performance ride mode - Anti wheelie off - throttle set to sport - slide backed off to 3) front tyre wear is minimal #justsayin 🤣

[@ninja12lawbreaker]

Recently got my Super Duke and it is the ultimate lazy boy loony machine. I love the chugging from low revs when the taps are openned. One grumble, the throtlle had 3mm of slack play standard so blipping on the down change was very hard. i searched that problem on you tube and was sent to 'Racetorx' great idea they make small fillers that remove the play inside the twistgrip. sorted

[@LambChopRides]

Got one on my 690 👍

[@simonsmale1645]

Naughty! Great video chopsy! I want one but that's alot of money time you put qs track pack a exhaust tail tidy bobbins radiator gaurd the list goes on 🙄 be nearly 20k. Hopefully 2nd hand one will come up one day 🙏

[@Malakhzahav]

British accent is the true beast that’s make this review sounds best than a gp style exhaust 😃

[@bgbg8885]

As for all of your "niggles"... Most of the left hand switch gear actually does light up. If yours isnt then there is some sort of issue. The mirrors twist because they arent properly tightened down... but nobody keeps those ugly mirrors anyway. You can in fact just put it in night mode to have the orange dash at all times. Its black in track mode though. And look at the bottom of the dash because it says at all times whether the AWM is off or on. I totally agree that the turn signal switch sucks. BUT... I have 4k miles on mine and the indicator switch is doing just fine... but it definitely isnt satisfying.

[@LambChopRides]

Oh really... well that's good news as everything I didnt like is a non issue! I know you need to push the display forward on the joystick to show the temps and display option 👍

[@missydee6085]

What a bike. Shirley you can make space in your garage for this gorgeous weapon? I've no doubt the H2 will be happy for the company to boot (and you can always buy a shed for the Duke). Come on Chopsie: you know it makes sense! 😉

[@LambChopRides]

Haha shhh your tempting me and I dont need much persuasion!

[@Tikkarifle]

Grat review thanks. I feel I have a good take on this bike now.

[@nivotron960]

Chops: New SDR might be too much for the road... Ninja H2: Hold my 238bhp

[@RioterRides]

H2 doesn't have the comfort as a superduke

[@fifthpint4571]

😂 exactly

[@crownmoto]

@@RioterRides ...or the agility

[@ross5506]

Don't have comfort, manners, and above all instantaneous torque.

[@Vetle1]

I have a duke 125. Cant wait until i im old enough for this.

[@6Twisted]

The only problem is KTM themselves. They've started taking pictures for warranty claims and things like slip ons void it which is rediculous. That's basically KTM saying they have no confidence in their product and are worming their way out of fixing it. The fact that they charge quite a large amount of money to simply unlock a lot of the electronics is pretty disgusting as well. I had my first ever breakdown on a bike on the SDR the other day with just 1800 miles on the clock because of a loose battery terminal. My MT-07 has 21000 miles on it and it never left me stranded. My SDR also has a recall for faulty brakes and it needs the wheel hub filing down because the rotor isn't mounted straight.

[@dannywywiasjr6199]

I didn’t know slip on voided warranty?? Is that in the US?

[@motorbiketoureruk]

So much want for this bike after riding it, I do know that you can generally get the tech pack thrown in when buying it.

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah I've heard that.. still lots of dosh though but I think worth it!

[@motorbiketoureruk]

Lamb Chop Rides they’ve been selling well, but we all know what KTM do at the end of year, but are they hoping to not discount this one,?!? They didn’t produce a bike for 10 weeks, I know the 890 is in demand and dealers are finding it hard to get hold of, 🤔 Definitely the highest on my list of next bike, don’t think I’ve ever ridden a bike that felt so complete

[@LambChopRides]

I think the way things are selling recently might not have the stock to discount this year!

[@akshaysinha1993]

A flask of whiskey is just what a 1300cc ktm rider needs.

[@darnhard]

really so the right hand controls how it feels , good information righ there lol , 6 axis not nine

[@neorider9183]

tested many times and yes it is, the 790 is simply better (890 even better)

[@chaoshimura89]

Will the wife he happy at the back? The duke or the v4 streetfighter?

[@pjgreen1183]

I love the bully but I don't love the way it looks I'm sure you forget about that when you're riding it,,,,,,,,

[@edspink6054]

Awesome video mate what a beast. Will say tho showing your speed is not a good idea.

[@rgthomson1]

My only little niggle on my one is when i use the buttons i knock full beam on without knowing, i think its my small hands to blame really

[@krp6147]

I like, I want one, 😎👌 nice review chop's

[@pistolpete6321]

Great review! If you had to pick one, this or the Tuono?

[@adolfshitler]

I think this is the only super naked that could tempt me into parting with 15+k for a motorcycle. Wouldn't even consider it on the others!

[@neilcole3406]

McDonald’s, Whiskey!! All good healthy stuff for the storage then Chops!

[@daveyt4802]

Tuono beat it. MCN. SD #2. Ducati #3. Personally I'd get the 1090 S myself. MPH? I thought you guys did kph over there.

[@LambChopRides]

No MPH here sir, yeah dont agree with Micheal on the Tuono first, I would put it second

[@justacomment1657]

I guess Tuonos first or second has a lot to do with ergos, chopsi is not the smallest guy.... Tuono however is a verry small bike.... And if you are not comfortable on something it might just not work for you. Me beeing a small guy, I have plenty of space on the tuono... But the speed of that thing.... I would kill me.... As its basicly allways in go way to fast mode...

[@fyorbane]

@@LambChopRides Other tests have put the 2020 Tuono first as well.
