NEW 2022 KTM 1290 Super Duke R EVO // First Impressions (Fancy Suspension Upgrades)

[@My347LX]

I am digging the new Evo R but I am really looking forward to the announcement next week...fingers crossed for a new Gen 3 Super Duke GT...or even something between the Super Duke GT and the Super Adventure S. The adjustment of 20mm is a rider adjustable setting...the current Super Duke GT has that same adjustment but it is 10mm total adjustment but is only adjustable by the dealer.

There simply isn't a better, all-around, bike on the planet. Find me a bike you can track, ride slowly, tour and wheelie the living shit out of?

My $22,000 2022 SuperDuke R Evo sprung an oil leak during my 18 mile first ride. Oil on exhaust and rear tire, I could have crashed badly. Was repaired by shop. Then I found out that in order to wheelie the bike you need to buy an $800 software upgrade. This was not disclosed before purchase. Then I bought the KTM POWER PARTS full exhaust (Akrapovic) from my KTM Dealer and installed it using the factory instructions. Shop said no need to remap. Shop said bolt on and go...$2600. After exhaust installed at 500 miles on odo, bike refuses to rev over 5,000 rpm, half of redline. Shop takes bike. Says only solution is to remove brake light and turn signals. Again, not disclosed before purchase of $22,000 bike and/or $2600 FACTORY exhaust, which is no longer"new" because while idling to warm up titanium headers turned blue. $25,000 FRAUD by KTMUSA. "Ready to race"? ... MY ASS. Don't do it!!

Having a hard time even finding a base model in a showroom in the States. By time I find one I’ll be paying cash for it.

[@chirag4]

yes, Game Changer, the best V-Twin ever

[@nickking7375]

Where the "Beast" started? And where is it now? Heavy improvements every year.

6:55 No the 1290 Duke is not the scalpel. The 890 Duke is the scalpel! The 1290 Duke is the beast. Don't believe me then ask KTM.

Actually the 790 is the scalpel. The 890R is the super scalpel.

[@mauriciobolboa6829]

[@brockpapang3923]

The previous modal how much is the price bro

[@micky_1290]

It looks so cheap in this new colourway .... I much prefer my 20211 Orange

[@srtspeedy4983]

I whis they trashed their buisness model off "unlocking" the bikes true performance by paying more to unlock things that already essentially are installed. I think that is a real cheap way to milk money from their customers. I wonder also why inshurence companies does not like KTMs. Is it becouse they have to pay for engine faults that KTM refuse to cover by their warranty? This KTM model in Sweden will cost me 3x the price in inshurence off my Tuono V4 Factory.

[@ricardorodrigues3508]

did they fix the radiator leak that comes back since gen 1 superduke 1290r? no they didnt, fuck the owners who have to pay 800€ for a known problem that they refuse to fix and dont change the radiator under warranty.
