"we want to make this accessible for young people" --> *$13, 000*

Great review Carl 👏looking forward to trying one against my 690 SMCR 😎

Some great options and a great, honest review. Thank you. As a rider, with well over 40 years of experience across a multitude of bikes, inclusive of racing throughout the 90’s, with two wildcard entries in WSB. I’m not only going to be test riding the one with the lot, I can also see myself making room for one. Purely for two main reasons. I’ve never attempted a wheelie (why would you want the tyre that provides 95% of stopping power in the air), nor have I been that rider (Casey Stoner) who was supreme at backing a bike into a corner. So, even at 50 something, I’m now more interested in taking one of these to a small track to learn these basics that I never did even when racing dirt bikes as a kid. 👍👍

This review helped me understand the 698 much more than many other reviews I've watched. Thank you!

I’m 61, been riding for 55 years. I want one. 😜

A 13k EUR bike for young people... sure. Even the Kawasaki KLX 300SM is bought by older people nowadays. :D Anyway, MCN is the only review so far which dives into the negatives and really compares it to the competition. Thanks!

As always a very honest, objective and eloquent description that covers just the correct info that we need to want this motorbike. King regards from Catalonia!

Great review! I've taken one of the first deliveries of the RVE here in the US. I'm not through the break-in period yet. But so far I believe Ducati got everything right, except the price. But they're not far off. Maybe $500 on the base and $750 on the RVE.

Electronics and a Ducati 1st generation bike. Just can’t pull the trigger

For me the high revving engine is a downside to be honest. For supermoto gearing it's not really a problem, but engines like the Panigale/Streetfighter V4 are only getting you in trouble when on riding the streets. Revving straight up to licence unfriendly territory in first gear. 💀

Great video. Lots of info. Ordered one last week can’t wait. 😎🌴

[princesudhakaran]

Great review, no BS, straight to points 👏👏

[ianross]

An amazing machine but for just a few more BHP over the KTM 690 is very complex. I have a 690 and 701 and love the low down grunt. I don’t need 3 1/2 more horsepower at the top end.

[natenobrakes]

Nice review. It would be nice if this prompts KTM to re-release 690 Duke R as it fits that niche between a supermotard and a road bike which the Ducati seems to be aiming for.

[RadDadisRad]

I expect to see a bunch of these on the Tail of the Dragon.

[thecornishbiker]

They need to release a supermono racer like that old style one. Simple and beautiful rather than wings and fins

[aria]

glad this gets to be the first new single, before they send out the motocross bikes

[jw-zg]

A supermoto that you need to rev.... seems odd. Super sexy though! 😍. Shame it'll be stolen almost immediately anywhere in the UK!

[williamrae]

Could have had 95bhp out of my '94 ATK, if i had thrown the Porter Bros a big wedge, a lot less than than one of these...and 30yrs between the two...good effort though!

[NoMoreMrNiceGuy]

I'm in the market for a mono ADV bike. I was thinking about the KTM 690 Enduro R. At this point this would be a super cool transformation into an Enduro/ADV bike or maybe next year they will launch one themselves
