Been skipping so many Duke videos recently but couldn’t skip one starring Chris!

I don't remember when I genuinely enjoyed a motorcycle review this much even though I am not remotely interested. Amazing narration and good production mate. Felt like listening to a friend.

Chris, your skills far eclipse your ego, an extremely rare quality and the hallmark of a fine motorcycle journalist. You and Neevesy are my guys! Chilled, informed, skilled and understand what actually matters to us riders. Keep it up sir.

Now I know why the KTM logo on the front side fairing (0:38) is angled! Perfectly level during a good power wheelie. 😅👍
Now, about that new "Alien meets Predator" headlight array. 😱

Any video with Chris talking about superdukes is a video that I’m all in for

[edm]

You are my favorite bike reviewer/journalist because you seem to focus on how the bike makes you feel from a visceral standpoint and characteristics that might irritate me, not long-winded data that’s in a brochure. Relatable, educational, entertaining & professional.

If I land this new job next week, I'm going to buy a 2023 Super Duke R Evo that's been sitting on the showroom floor for 450 days - it's a good discount and the raise would cover the bike!!!

And that final quote is the essence of every KTM owner. The others will never see how we smile

When KTM offers factory extended warranties like the Japanese I will trust them. I've bought 9 new KTMs. The last one I bought (EXC-F) had no nut holding the starter wire to the starter motor. The ring terminal was just set on there. No way it fell off as it is a nylok nut and the rubber boot was still pulled back out of the way for installation. This is the kind of thing to expect with KTM. At least this time the issue was cheap and easy to fix. As fun as their bikes are, QC is not their thing.

I love the new headlights. Makes the bikes look very distinctive. No one will think it's an MT-0x.

[iaahner]

I never could find words for why I love my 1290 so much compared to all my previous "civilized" bikes.

You nailed it. I was more comfortable on my FJR, put down better track day lap times on my R1, and probably looked better on many But I still haven't figured out how to wipe the grin off my face after jumping on the 1290.

Because it's a little bit stupid. Pointless. And mad fun.

I owned lots of bikes, including brands like, Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda, Harley Davidson and KTM. I recently returned to KTM and Duke family, since no bike gave me so much fun while driving.
I am not saying that they are the best bikes in the world, but for my taste they are :)
Never had more issues with them then with other brands, and my dealer is great and helpful. I do not even worry about camshafts and all the fuss around that.
48 years old now, driving for a long time and I just love KTM and what they did to motorcycle world.

As usual from Chris, awesome video, really excellent job mate.

my speed triples been gathering dust since i got an smcr690 ... motor makes a racket, clunky transmission, bolts vibrating off !
wouldn't trade it for anything , ridiculous fun !!

[Max-xrnl]

I feel the new headlight is good cause you could still sell it after a head on collision with a train and nobody could tell the difference

[deanwaring]

Have they fixed the cam bearing issues 🤔

[AA_fromtexas]

Chris’ 890 Duke R review is the greatest bike review of all time

[wernerxldata]

You have a talent in making these video's very entertaining, by your comments and your riding. Not interested in ktm's these days anymore, something with reliability and I really don't like the new designs... But I couldn't resist watching this video as you always make a lot of fun on any bike. Keep up the great work mate !

[ssandro]

Have a duke 125. I’m 5”7, and it fits perfectly. Not too big, not too small. Love that bike

[AlanLuangrath]

Chris is the man!!
Even Neevesy from MCN said Chris is the best rider by far on the press review events ✊

[TheRickardo]

When I hear about KTM, the only thing I just think abut is Camshoft and all those people dealing with the numerous problems.
