Hi Rennie. Love your work going way back. I have a 1260PP, a Monster 1200R and a previous Panigale 959 bought because of your review back then. IMHO, the Multi is a big bike. I thought the 1260 was big but the V4 is even bigger. No thank you. I'm waiting for a V4 Supersport if I'm going to replace two bikes with one.

Why do you need to see what gear you’re in? You go by feel of the bike and not buy the number anyway.

Honestly it’s kinda irrelevant at that price

So I should stay happy with my pikes peak? Perfect!

Beautiful! My right wrist forgets that my driving record is already at risk!

This dude not saying Alpinestars correctly and driving me out of my mind! Good Lord

That XR v RS test would be interesting for sure. Both of those bikes are just nuts! I honestly don't think that I could trust myself to behave on either of them, and would be constantly having to check my mirrors for blue lights 😂

Has the same horsepower as an 80s muscle car, too😂

Seems clearly the only dinky thing going on here is the lack of knowledge of the bike😂, couldn't bother to read the manual ?

Gotta have wings

outrageous price

I love my 1390 so much. Its a street bike for me. No track. I wonder if you had the anti-dive turned on which contributed to the wooden feel at the top of the fork stroke. Coming off a Streetfighter V4S, the KTM is a sharper instrument. By far. Cool video.

Just gorgeous. Have a 450fx and 125x, would sure be nice to add this to my arsenal. Had 10 Yams so far in my time and likely I'll add.

Gotta have wings XR

Good reviews......wish you had a couple of real old guys in your ratings. I'm thinking Husky would be best for me...not my bank account tho.

I honestly love seeing everyone talking about power yet I dont believe any of those would be able to push this bike to the limit on a track.

What a ripper…..aka rip off.

I'm an experienced off road guy and bought a T7. The suspension was so soft it was super disappointing (and I'm only 170lbs wet). I put a flat spot in the front rim without even trying and every time I rode it (even on easy off road stuff) I wished I was on my smaller KTM 500. Even when I rode it on the highway it didn't impress me and I wasn't comfortable on long days plus if you're taking the Mrs she will not be comfortable on the back, so I sold it. I replaced it with a 701 but still prefer my KTM 500 so it's for sale now too. Now I'm thinking TA because I know its a more comfortable road bike, I know I'll likely restrict myself to smooth gravel roads on it, the Mrs will be more comfortable on Sunday rides and my 12 year old 500 will keep its place in the garage.

Piece of junk.

How much is it?

You have a great engine, please show us the technical skills in the next video, what is the performance of this engine now, because this engine is now definitely ready for challenging feats

Honda Canada discontinued the XR650L & its new replacement is now a CRF150L. So it's a choice of DR650 or DR650

I was on the point to buy a brand new 2023 desert X and buy a 7000$ 2013 ktm 990 Baja edition instead… because of this video review! Thanks for made me save 10K!! Cheers!

I miss the KTM that was a bit more brutal that needed skill to ride. I'd like an more raw option.

Trolling KTM has become super easy lately.

No that Yamaha argument is never too early. It's not retro enough so it's not retro at all. Where are the round signal lights on a chrome, tubular arm? LED lights don't have to look modern. Classic means classic. Compromise isn't in it. Kawasaki has done a great job on this one but it falls short with the signals too. Thanks for your input.

Duke 1290 was 1301cc, but the 1390 is only 1350cc.

The more complex electronic systems they cram into these things the more I just want to buy an old dual sport from the 90s. It does look like a super fun track bike though.

We need TM

Where are you riding in your videos. Looks amazing n sick twistiez

We're all aware of the reliability and warranty issues.......but MAN, that 1390 is a monster 👹 * Puts on Lottery list

If money was no concern, I'd be all over it. Super cool if you can afford it.

This is the evolution of the 2008 Ninja 250 from 300 and 400 to "500." Keeping the bones from 2008+ keeps this bike affordable. Acounting for inflation, it's more affordable than the 2008+ Ninja 250 at the time. I'm the original owner to a 2009 Ninja 250 with 80,000 miles. Ninja 500 will be my next bike. These are awesome commuter bikes.

This guys is wrong. Its not the same tune as a 250 yz. Its detuned and has a wide ratio transmission.

Terrible audio

After watching this, I still don’t know which one to buy

Triumph Street triple RS is so beautiful but I may be leaning a bit more towards the base MT09 with all of the features that come standard at a much lower price. The Triumph R and RS do not come with cruise control as an added feature. You can get it added as an upgrade to the RS but not the R. Great review thanks for the video!

If you ever go on first gear trails the 2 stroke won’t stall on you

Is the 450RL also getting these updates?

Lie & Cheat with a 10 HP advantage it's a Win Win might have to hold back on the start or they will know 57 HP is more than the Honda, Suzuki 450 it's a brilliant bike good for XC as well with a bigger tank Looking at the cylinder it's hard to tell it apart from the 250f

I love kaw I drove them wide open in the heat for years after I bought them used across the u s

Loving the vintage look on the shrouds

Zh2 might actually be the ugliest bike I’ve ever seen. How did they do soooo bad

Love the vid and both perspectives you guys have im a new rider I’ve only ridden 125s before but I wanna upgrade and get a 250 which should I choose 2 stroke or 4 stroke I’m not gonna race or get competitive I just wanna get better and have fun and hit trails or the woods if you could get back to me ?

i currently have the Desest X and it's a better bike but it's 10 years of tech and learning on the 990 which still is a great bike

i miss Honda gear driven cam v fours

My 2003 Honda ST came with linked braking system. It's an old system already

No e start and a carb make this a no go. I had one and sold it for my KTM 350. Hit the button and go. Yes you will pay a lot more but it's worth it.

The first thing would be to find a Ktm 990 in good shape and like to work on your bike ?

Does that exhaust look crude to any of you. The Honda's seem to look better.
