Locking electronics behind a pay wall is the dumbest thing ever.

[@nicoleheaney3090]

One of the reasons I won’t own another KTM and went to a Yamaha

[@gabehills2489]

​@@nicoleheaney3090Did you get the MT-09 SP for the price of an MT-09 or did you have to pay up?

[@Jagknorr]

😐 maybe the mic doesn’t pic up the exhaust correctly, but that sounds really bad. 😂

[@guslythgow7103]

Really over the insect look. Paying to unlock electronic features is the worst thing ever..

[@astrofeeder777]

i really wanted to check this one out but my dealer said they ordered them and the shipment was late so i ended up getting a street triple rs moto2. couldnt be happier tbh but ill probably get a duke next year for my second bike. was also really disappointed with the lack of premium components and $1000 price tag for the tech pack. even though the components are on the bike you still have to go back to the dealership to "update" the software.

[@cruze86]

Is RC 990 coming to MotoBob in future ?

[@justakos]

Where are the brembo brakes 😂

[@Geeman57]

Tried both the KTM 990 and the MT-09 and much preferred the KTM more nimble handling better display got the tech pack included and unlocked for free. Very happy with my choice love the bike and glad I also tried the MT-09 to put my mind at rest with my choice for the KTM.

[@creedm3040]

Awesome video! As for the free time for options I'm not sure what the fuss is all about. You know it going in beforehand . A little over a year ago I bought a new motorcycle with everything available. If after a year I could choose , cafeteria style, what I wanted to keep I would have loved that choice. Some things on my bike I will never use. Other things I would keep. I love the style of this bike. When I look at the headlight I see a Gladiator helmet, which is very cool. Best!

[@fraz172]

Far too much money for me I'm afraid. Had the 890r but it had oil leak within 500 miles. Traded in for a s1000r sport. Best decision ever

[@Tenktory]

I was sure that I would buy MT09. Then I went to Yamaha dealership and saw that bike with my own eyes. It looks a bit like a previous Duke. Too small and to cheap. Maybe SP will solve the second issue. Next I went to KTM to see 990. It looks like a smaller Super Duke. Just a bit smaller. It was love from the first sight. Where Yamaha lacks in terms of presence and feeling of serious bike KTM delivers in 100%. Also ergonomics was superior for me (I'm 193 cm tall). So now I wait for a better weather to test ride Duke, but I guess that I've already made my mind.

[@Steve-motorcycles]

I love KTM but I think this is a stretch to far. It is a retrograde step from the 890 duke which was one of the sweetest handling bikes ever. Sorry, but KTM has dropped the ball with this. And it’s atrocious looking.

[@ZabDevin]

STR 765 RS.

[@Tenktory]

​@@ZabDevin Not for me. It looks great (especially in yellow) but I don't like position.

[@helgejohan3604]

Duke 990 are bigger and wider then Duke 890✊🤣

[@TerjeStokdal-iq5nn]

Will it fit you? I'm only 171cm and it fits me perfect😮

[@chetansp7165]

Sir is it better than street triple rs?

[@signore-solomonare1818]

5:40 Don’t really see why naked super bike needs CC, I meant you don’t want to cruise around long distances like touring bikes right? It’s more of features offering than what the riders are meant to ride this type of bike

[@CJ_Nightlives]

Personally I’m not keen on the looks of this, I think the 790/890 look better. Having owned a 2021 790 duke for a couple months now, I have to agree that the engine, handling and the vibe of the bike really get under you skin so can understand where your coming from with the 990, KTM is an addictive brand and I’ve loved every bike I’ve ridden from them

[@Reaper58]

Honestly, I thought that too. Then I went to see it in person, and it's so much better than the previous gen. A big step up in quality, nuch much more of a big bike vibe.

[@Steve-motorcycles]

@@Reaper58 it still looks hideous and good luck getting the dead bugs out on that monstrous headlight set up

[@CJ_Nightlives]

Yea, I’ve test ridden one and I still wasn’t a fan in person the headlight just looos too bit and the exhaust is also hideous. I’d much rather push a bit more and just get the 1390r

[@SuperSneakySniper]

I think the info a 8:37 is wrong. The 890 Duke R has a seat height that's closer to 33 inches, or ~835mm. It's the BASE model Duke 890/790 that had the 820mm seat. I used to have both. The upgraded suspension on the Duke 890R made it noticeably taller. Seems the 990 sits right in-between the two at 825mm. Got to sit on one last week and it felt sorta like a wider 890 Standard.

[@RayEccleston]

I had a 2023 KTM 890 Duke R and had reliability issues literally from the first day I picked it up. After multiple trips to the dealership I ended up giving up and selling it for a $10,000 loss (including taxes). Please don’t make the same mistake that I made. Buy an MT09 instead, there is no point in purchasing a bike that will just sit in the local dealership’s service department.

[@censure2023]

I had the same experience with a regular 790. I sold it to buy a street triple rs, I am a happy rider now. KTM never again!

[@tubejorrit]

@@censure2023 My 2023 Street RS has been at the dealer for weeks now, a major recall about the camshafts, full engine out job. Also after owning it for 1200km I had an oil leak at the engine head, that also took 3 weeks to repair and in doing that they scratched the plastics and won't take responsibility for it.

[@censure2023]

@@tubejorrit sorry to hear that. I guess we should all return to Japanese bike then 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@ZabDevin]

@@tubejorrit Are you talking about the 23’ US version? I’m asking because I have the 24’ US version of the 765 RS and there are no recalls. I have experienced zero problems with my 24’ STR 765 RS.

[@bradymcrae7351]

Just got a 24 MT09 for 3k cheaper. I think I won

[@otlndsh]

Does this bike's quickshifter enable downshifting while accelerating or upshifting while decelerating? Does it have a Brembo front brake? Does it have an Ohlins rear shock? Are all the tech options included in the base price? Is it reliable? No to all of these? AND it's more expensive than the new MT-09SP? LOL

[@Steve-motorcycles]

100% 👍🏻

[@martinkyte1637]

the tech pack is free at the moment

[@otlndsh]

@@martinkyte1637 I'd tip my hat to KTM if they stuck to this decision on a permanent basis rather than just for the moment. For them to offer it temporarily also means something. And I like KTM! I own one. And yes I had to pay for its quickshifter lol.

[@mainand]

Probable issues with cams means KTM parallel twins are off my list.

[@Cthooligan]

I'll wait for the R Evo version next year and decide

[@devilgames2217]

Really like the looks but it needs a short exhaust.

[@Razzer0693]

In India it might come for 8000 usd equivalent. How's it at that price

[@rmarlin]

For me it is a battle between this beauty or the Ducati Monster SP, guess I will have to test ride them both.

[@aleokyn5757]

I was surprise how light to handling this beast despite 990cc

[@clutchsavage1657]

[@Steve-motorcycles]

One reason why you might not want to buy it, I can think of a few reasons. Looks, price, reliability. The new MT09 is so much better and £2 to 3k cheaper depending in the purchase of a tech package. And isn’t the 890 duke R better handling? I thought so.

[@otlndsh]

Damn. That comment is slay.

[@SKG1941]

Or the Kawasaki 900. You took the words right out of my mouth. Why would you buy a KTM when you can buy extremely reliable Yamaha or Kawasaki. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve got a couple of KTM dirt bikes, but only because Yamaha and the other guys don’t make up-to-date two strokes. and I’m getting too old to kick a YZ 250. Lol.

[@sambagogo777]

I also face palmed when he said he could only think of "one reason" to not buy it. Surely the main reason to not buy a KTM is because it's a KTM! It's the brand loved by 'influencers' who don't have to deal with the reliability problems, parts availability, dealership network and depreciation that comes with actually owning a KTM.

[@nesta8273]

I am a Yam lover through and through but the MT-09 is one of the ugliest bikes ever created. Top tier motorcycle but the looks is making me want to throw up. Not positive to the looks of this either but damn, the MT-09 beats everything when it comes to being ugly.

[@Steve-motorcycles]

@@nesta8273 I don’t mind the gen 4 MT09 as much, not bad with a screen. Much better than this new 990 duke. That headlight is just a dead bug trap.

[@SKG1941]

Z900,900rs or MT-9. I’m old so went with the 900rs. Brock tune and Brock 4 into 1……100+rwhp,smiles for miles.As long as they have oil and gasoline in them, you’re good to go from now on. The older you get the more important reliability can be.My days of wrenching are slowly coming to a close. Don’t get me wrong. I have 2 KTM‘s 150 and 300 2 strokes and a husky 701. But the only reason I have those motorcycles is because the big four don’t want to compete in those categories. Almost $15,000 by the time you get it out the door with a couple of mods.No.!!! But what the hell do I know?

[@flatcapcaferacer]

It seems KTM and boat owners have a similar experience. The two happiest days are the day you buy it and the day you sell it. I'd be curious what percentage of KTM owners would buy a KTM again. It would be a good MotoBob vid all be it risky if it turns out badly but on the other hand it might put to rest what we hear almost every time a review comes out.

[@motobob]

It's really difficult to get good reliability data because manufacturers are hardly going to give it out, and dealers won't want to be publicising how many warranty issues they have to fix. Personally I would be looking at the user reviews under MCN's main reviews, as they give you an average for the reliability score and there's plenty more insight if you sift through them. But it's not really for me to be publishing MCN's hard-earned user generated content. Perhaps once a year we could run a survey or something... I'll think about it! But appreciate the constructive feedback 👍

[@flatcapcaferacer]

​​​@@motobobThanks, I used the NHTSA data base to collect complaints and recalls on 13 brands over 5 years from 2016 through 2021 in the U.S.. I'm not sure other countries track the same information and whether individuals can access it. I did it because I was curious but it was time consuming. Once you get the number of recalls and complaints it was kind of neat digging down to the types of issues. Although KTM did not issue many recalls - they were the 5th best they dead last in the number of complaints to number of recalls . All that means customers are finding the issues and complaining but nothing much was being done. Conversely Aprilla the same number of recalls but were first in the ratio of complaints to recalls which means better customer service. One last tid bit BMW was last in recalls with 174 followed by Harley 120 and Ducati 119. The most reason for recalls for all 13 brands was front and rear brake issues accounting for 25.66% of all recalls. Surprisingly mechanical issues accounted for 72% and electrical was 28% of recalls.

[@Unintent1onal.]

I’ve had a 22 890r for 2 years now 6k miles on it absolutely no issues handles amazing much more comfortable then any lay over bike plenty of power for my first bike very minimal mods and I’m very happy with it

[@colinhickes4253]

On my 4th KTM and never had a bit of bother with any of them

[@cnrom]

almost 35K km (2 years) here without a single issue and the bike (Duke 390) is ridden hard every single day. The only bike ever gave me serious and continuous trouble until it died at 40K km was a Kawasaki (ZRX1200R) should i think that Kawasakis are unreliable?

[@andrewmckinlay3383]

Mine has the tech-pack for free, what it gives you does seem worth it but I do agree that buying a bike that is restricted in this way is not good and if it wasn't free it would have been a difficult decision . I had a Street Triple 765 RS and the KTM feels more powerful (i know peak power isn't) but the torque is very addictive, could ride it in 4th all day. Already done a tour with the KTM and it performed as well or better than the Triumph and I wasn't too sore (not as sore as the Triumph for sure) for an over 50 year old!! Having had a couple of Street Triples, this seems for me a more fun bike, the KTM it hasn't got the plushness of the Triumph and is more raw feeling but I kinda prefer that...

[@cnrom]

I second that about the raw feeling vs plushness, esp. combined with the torque and low weight, it's such an addictive feeling, and i'm 50+ too, i wish i had discovered that earlier.

[@thewarlord502]

Looks even better in real life. And the sitting position is lovely. (I'm 180cm) But I just bought a new bike (2020 790 Duke) and if I was in the market for a new, I would probably look at the new Svartpilen 801. 25% cheaper than the 990 here in Denmark. Thank you mr Bob!

[@motobob]

790 Duke is a great choice! And probably a bargain relative to this one. Enjoy :)

[@andreasprime2493]

after you realize they just praise every bike so they can get more bikes to test, you know that all of this channels are pointless. I would take everything if is for free when you pay for it the perceptions regarding the bikes are very different. No nock on KTM i have a CF moto 800NK and tested the 990 Duke, i could not justify a 8K difference bettween this bike and my bike.

[@es1vo]

This or the MT-09?

[@mortiftw6378]

MT all the way. Tried those two bikes and a Streety RS on the last weekend and the KTM feels cheap and rought. I cant deside - super smooth streety or rowdy MT…

[@devilgames2217]

I'd be happy with either.

[@cnrom]

Try them both, for me, the MT feels a bit cheap and on the plush side while the Duke more lively but for you it may be different, so try them and take your time doing it.

[@dougiequick1]

BLOWN away they would internionally weaken the swingarm making more flexible "for better traction" when virtually all the serious pro roadrace bikes get super reinforced swing arms...I dont understand? I wonder if it is REALLY "improved traction" and instead "safer traction for the street" which would be something else again? I also completely dont understand the contradictory statements about the 900 quid optionl tech package being free....how can it be both things??? Or do they just mean it is "free" with purchase.....but just does not WORK? Which is then some "free" dead weight? Maybe next they put a lock cylinder on the fork caps and then install spacers to remove 30 percent of travel unless you PAY for them to remove the blocks.? Or maybe a lock cylinder on the fuel tank so there are muliple length feed tubes? the "free one" only allows you to access 3 gallons from a 5 gallon tank but for $500 you can have the optional tube installed and access ALL the fuel in tank? Hey would it be any less insulting? As it is I would not buy any motorcycle model with locked anything that I already paid for physically...I mean if it were truly like NEW software upgrade that would be something else like upgrading to the latest version of Windows used to be but for ANYTHING physical? THAT is just ridiculous! WHY does anyone tolerate it even??

They're a simple and cheap engine to make, so why the high cost? It's funny how its gone full circle and the Duke 990 is what the SD990 was 20 years ago. (I'm sure its a better bike, right?

Just be honest … if we wouldn’t considering the price, non of those bikes from this comment section are even comparable to 990 duke …

[@shmod97]

Looks like a cheap baggy superduke, a wannabe look like a 125, and costs nearly as much as a superduke 2 years ago. Fugly headlight, too wide, and on top of that you can't trust them to make engines that last (see camshafts on 790/890) and try not to pay claims even under warranty
