R6 Pilot bike and KTM 890 Duke

just a few laps on my Duke 890 being followed by an R6

[@abymathew295]

Maaaan that 890 is pulling...🙆🙆🙆

[@FergFactoryRacing]

Hey that's me! Great riding!

[@xxwollexxx]

Actually not. The R6 cant handle to hold the gas stable during a curve. Way to much movement and not the best line.

[@JJsw2]

@@xxwollexxx Ferg is the R6 rider telling the 890 rider he was good. You got it backwards.

[@VState60]

@@xxwollexxx not to mention he never learned to downshift and is riding about 3 sec/lap over his head, soon to the dismay of hopefully only himself and not everyone else enjoying their track weekend.

[@MrFartism]

I absolutely adore my 890r. It's a proper weapon. My last two bikes were 1290s superdukes gen1 and gen2. I'm definitely quicker on the 890. And smiling more. I was keeping up with a 22 plate Aprillia tuono the weekend. He was convinced I was on a 1290 until we hooked up at the café

If other content creators are watching, this is what click-bait does not look like. The title is exactly what I watched and in video the camera guy clearly says he is not passing the 890. This is content.

[@VState60]

Correction: The camera bike wasn’t able to pass the 890…still great film!

[@vtvt2690]

Interesting. Looks like the aero advantage goes to the R6. Really cool battle between displacement, cylinder number, weight, horse power vs rev range, etc.

[@slowstad]

Only on the straight.

[@kev7240]

Its called 'the scalpel' for a reason

[@deanwatmuff5898]

KTM rider all-day

[@georgebutler7850]

The sound of an r6 at full noise is still awesome. Great vid.

[@solino2002andrea]

What a combed you got, bro. That bike deliverers power everywhere, low revs, mid, high. When it brakes, seems like hitting a wall, and it’s sneaky trough the corners. You have been able just to catch him on straight line because your bike spins at 15k rpm or more, but when time to stop came, he was in front of you again. It’s a dream bike I think, especially on twisties.

[@Juuul89]

Don't take the inside line if you can't outbrake someone, it's fucking annoying, this is not race

[@JJsw2]

He did, the video is of Apex Pro Photo on the ktm and the Ferg Factory racing recording him is on the r6

[@bebeboy246]

Ktm 💪💪

[@rlawlals1022]

890 owner perfect riding! what mode is it ? track? what mtc level...?

[@TheOliveradams]

I don't know in what mode he is riding but I ride it in track mode , AWM off and slip only to 1 , suspension set to sport .

[@scorpion-ninja8228]

"Ok, im gonna stay behind the coach and OUT BRAKE HIM b4 turn 1" . . . well you failed twice 🤣😂 Just dont say things like that!

[@giorgioscorcucchi7405]

KTM.....😈

[@crisfernandez7964]

Both rookie racers. But enyoable video

[@apexprophoto5694]

it was a track day bro 😆

[@recepyuksel9388]

Herşey çok güzel ses,hız,çekim ve müzik olmaması .ktm kullanıcısı limitleri zorluyor..

[@TheOliveradams]

Duke 890R THE SUPER SCALPEL , I love it so much !

[@jimbojonesporfavor]

That must have been really off-putting for the Duke rider having you semi-diving down the inside constantly! Good driving other than that. I'm really impressed with that KTM commuter which must be down on power compared to the R6

[@freebehindbars8654]

Put it on a tight track, within long straights and that Duke would smoke that R6. And that 890R isn’t down on anything, it’s got 80 ft/lb torque, that pulls like a beast out of a turn.

[@jimbojonesporfavor]

@@freebehindbars8654 it's down on kW compared to the R6 which is why the R6 reels him on the straights. But yes, tons of torque. It's probably my next bike

[@jimbojonesporfavor]

@@freebehindbars8654 The R6 would be handle tight corners well though right? As long as could keep power up it would be an interesting battle!

[@Alex-uu6vf]

R6 lists at 117HP , Duke 890 R at 121.

[@nebachiv]

nice one bro, my next bike

[@jesus2400]

That R6 is a screamer

[@hereweareproductions3662]

Cool track. Nice riding.

[@orlandoberry8454]

Nice job mate. 👍

[@sahilbalmiki813]

Duke 🤩🤩😘

[@willroberts2773]

How tall is the KTM rider?

[@apexprophoto5694]

I'm about 5'10

[@willroberts2773]

@@apexprophoto5694 I’m 6’2 -6’3 do you think I would be okay on the KTM ?

[@KevXRDuke]

​​@@willroberts2773 when I surprised my 12 year old son (He races supermoto) When I told him I bought another bike...when he first saw it in the garage next to my XR1200. He thought it was a Grom. For a brief moment. My point is that it is small for basically a 900.

[@elvulch]

Didn’t you say you were going to out brake him into turn 1?

[@apexprophoto5694]

He did, the video is of me on the ktm and the cam is on the other guys r6

[@elvulch]

@@apexprophoto5694 ahhhh… got it.

[@rikkmode]

lol you didnt out-brake shit... horrible tries tho

[@vincentseidel518]

The brake of the duke is just awesome
