- KTM 1290R Super Duke is one of my all time favorite motorcycles so when KTM UK offered me one for a couple of weeks to test I naturally jumped at the chance!
I will be doing a load of videos about this bike but this one is my first impressions of this fine stead!

I rode one the other day and am absolutely sold. Saving for the deposit now.
I quite liked what vibes it has. Makes you feel like you're on a real machine so I wouldn't want them gone completely.
Great review as normal @lambchoprides 👌🏻
Not too shabby considering the first Dukes where dirtbikes dressed up as roadbikes. KTM has come a long way.
I really don't know how you don't have more subs. I've been waiting for the 1290 video and it hasn't disappointed! Great content keep it coming :)
+Jake Ropers thanks Jake 👍
One of the bikes I really wanna own someday. Also great job with keeping an eye on the drone lol
Mr Chops, I can't wait till you do the 2020 1290 Super Duke R overall riding impression. I'm definitely in the market for something new, my 2008 ZX-14 turbocharged getting old love hearing about all these new electronics. I will not be selling my 14, it's my touring missile with the wife on the back. The 14 just gets too hot in the city, and she's loud open pipe. Since we are of similar age, I take your review's best on CZcams. I've only owed Kawasaki's since my first 1975 H1 500. Since am 6'1" and 255 lbs being on the zH2 not happening I want comfort above all else. I've watched pretty well every video on 3.0 BEAST, comfort, great updates on the entire bike, and watching your video going through Spain, she certainly look amazing in handling along out of the corners. Looking forward to your review. They are only getting 3 of them, one been sold and with this stupid covid-19 shops closed, but you can purchase over the phone. I really don't want miss out what can be my dream machine. Stay stay🇨🇦.
It's a hard life but someone's gotta do it. Lovin the reviews, keep em coming.
First I get an upload from Baron, then my lamb choppy delivers the goods as well. Happy days!!
+Whittle Moore cheers matey I aim to please 😎😎
Best bike reviewer out there....... keep er lit mate love your vids and respect your opinion!
+Emmet Dallat thanks Emmet 👍👍
Always thought it should be in black, but this year they've nailed the white :D Looks so smooth on upshifts and downshifts using the quickshifter/blipper. Great video, love all of the 3rd person shots from the stationary camera :D
+Samuel Wicks thanks Sam, yeah going to do more third person shots liking them too 😎
Seriously, for a smaller channel you make pretty damn good videos.
+Jonathan Smith cheers dude 👍👍
Great review as always.
Yet another quality production & review. The electronics on the dash sound awesome..tier readout is brilliant & illuminated switch gear? Nice. Can't wait for the inevitable but unfair comparison between Tuono & SuperDuke after the 2 week's of you riding it around. It's a pity these KTM's are so expensive down here in Australia @ AUD$26,790.00
+Gabriel Johannson thanks matey, yes full electronics review to follow on this one soon 😎 suprised they are so expensive down there... amazing how bike prices vary between countries!
Gabriel Johannson absolutely, I went to dealer today in Adelaide and the best he could do was $25800
Awesome video Chops 👌🏽
Yup... just.... yup... Been looking at this and the Speed 'R' and keep finding myself coming back to this, the sound with the Akra is just jaw dropping.
+Yarek Balear yes standard exhaust is rubbish hehe really missing some sounds on this with the standard exhaust.. that full Akra is amazing and if I got a Duke would have to have it 😍😍
I've ridden both. The Speed R is a brilliant bike that you can absolutely take liberties on and it really looks after you. I went mental on it and always felt safe. The Superduke R is a different matter. You have to treat that with respect else you will get spat off for sure and could really hurt yourself. Way more powerful than the Speed. It's my next bike. Guess it's down to want you want. The Speed was a hoot and very friendly, the Superduke does not mess about. I was getting power wheelies in 4th over bumps in the road. The torque is addictive though!
Love mine in black and it sounds Awesome with the full titanium Akra Evolution system.
The factory remap also makes it a whole different (Even better) bike.
More rawness and better fueling than standard.
6 kg lighter as well as the cat goes as does the SAS 🖒
+George Newell saw one at ktm last week, they are building a press track bike with the full Akra it's a work of art 😍😍
Damn- I had pretty well decided on getting the Tuono. Now I will have to test ride the KTM and possibly face days of agonizing over what to buy. Thank you. Great review though and some beautiful video.
Nigel Livingston get the ktm
Nigel Livingston the KTM is better in my opinion. :)
+Nigel Livingston if you try one you will be agonising over which to buy... I still am!
Can you get a gps and test the speedometer. The SDR 1.0 was about 8-9% out, it would be great to see if they corrected it.
I have to ask when on this or tuono what gives you the biggest smile when you wind it on? As in in a toss up between the two and really don't know what to go for!
I like the fact you ride the bike as if you owned it. Too many other vloggers just ride up and down dual carriageways at legal speeds.
+John Hanlon thanks John, I think it'd important people can see how they go 😎😎
another cracking video lcr ☺
Nice Vid
What's the QS and Blipper like?
So......is this the one then Chops?👍🏻/👎 So only price and reliability to worry about.....and your license of course 🤣😉 Bloody brilliant vid mate, you are getting the hang of that drone now!👍🏻😎
Chops, can you do a test ride on the new aprilia dorsoduro 900?
oh and nice vid, 'the beast' has always been one of my favourites
+Marcus yes the Shiver I think it's called now.. Aprilia UK getting a demo end of July so will see what I can do 👍
Lamb chops! Definitely next Top Gear bike guru....👍
So hard to not watch superduke r videos right now. Waiting for the insurance company to pay up so i get this beastie
Really enjoyed the video and it got me thinking about something. Obviously you've ridden your fair share of motorcycles and know a little more than i do at my grand age of 17. So my question is, by the time i turn 21 or so (old enough to have my unrestricted license and be able to ride 600+ supersports/nakeds, 1000's etc etc) do you think they will still have the same fun factor or be heavily restricted by laws such as euro4 and such? Cant help but feel that by the time its my turn to ride these motorcycles that they wont have the same "brutal" fun factor as they do now. Would really appreciate your thoughts, also really enjoying these long term review videos.
+Control. I think they will still be here for you, the electronics will improve and make them safer but that's no bad thing. They tried to limit bikes to 100hp back in the 90's and that never stuck! Sure they will be hear for you when your 21 and if not always used options 😎
Lamb Chop Rides that's reassuring, thanks for a reply :)
I have one of these, thought hard about the apprilia. Works best in track mode, that smooths out the blipper, traction on 1, anti wheelie off, throttle response sharpened up 😊 Austin racing slip on and a few other bits, love it ....
+Mark Jolly that's exactly the setup I've settled on 😎
Lamb Chop Rides the msr thing works a treat, so smooth knocking it down gears, but super Moto mode is a hoot ! Launch control scared the shit out of me, nearly flipped it twice, didn't try a third time 😂 I got 2700 miles out of the rear tyre, I took it to north west 200, they are not track tyres but more than good enough.
+Mark Jolly the supermoto modes needs a dongle yes?
Lamb Chop Rides no if you have the full electronic package you can turn rear abs off, which disables the msr as well, and you can lock the rear break up. I don't think you can turn front abs off though, not tried. You don't need the dongle if you have the track pack, it will stay in track mode if you leave it there. I saw the baron grumbling about no space for the dongle, once they upload the electronics he won't need it. One crap thing though, if you don't buy the track pack I don't think you can turn everything off like the early model, I'm not sure as I never owned the early one, had an RC8R before.
Imma buy one for my first bike. I’ll just run the rain or b mode with a ton of trac and wheelie control for the first 3 or so months. I’ll open it up across a year or two. My first car was powerful and it saved my life when I joined the Navy and got stationed in Norfolk, Virginia. You needed something with power for that traffic. I don’t like getting on the highway in a weak pos with the throttle pinned, motor screaming, going 65 with cars shooting by. Fuck that.
brilliant. glad you've got this on long term. can you do an electronics video like the tuono, i am absolutely about to buy one of these 2 myself ! nice 1
+Thomas Ince yup already recorded 👍👍
Lamb Chop Rides sweeeeeeeet👍
Lamb Chop Rides come one were all dying for vid 2 !
Lamb Chop Rides chops! i just trst drove the tuono factory and the mt-10 back to back and i was soooo suprised!, on the tuono its clearly a race bike with flat bars.. i was constantly looking at the dash and switches trying to fumble the indicators, and the throttle at low speeds sucked, l.. but my oh my that sound track once you get going wow... however i felt immediately at home on the Mt10 the quick shifter was wayyy better. bars were higher, felt softer definetly but once i opened up the taps jesus it sounds and goes just like that v4. test riding the super duke next week so settle the debate then itll be wallet out time.. question is will you be doing a long term test of the mt10 (i know you've already tested one) but i wander if you'll be turned like me.. appreciate your thoughts, views and vids dude. ta
Ah good to hear Thomas, I would love to do an Mt10 long term but Yamaha are not responding to me :-( I remember from my ride it was fantastic and if you can live with the looks and slightly cheap finishings it is a great bike.. I do need to test one again.. Not tried the 2017 with QS so perhaps I should borrow one for the afternoon at least..
few people I know have these & they love em, also hard to keep up with them too !
+ft rider yes brutally fast, I would certainly buy one as makes a perfect road bike Imo. Yes has a few little annoyances but overall a great motorcycle 😎😎
Apparently the MissendenFlyer shapeshifted into Mr. Hyde and changed his name. Brilliant! ;)
+Shaun Fernandez haha thanks Shaun I'm taking that as a compliment 😎
My Dream Bike... The BEAST
9:47 Is that Autocar testing the Elemental RP1 for the video they just uploaded? The UK must be a small place lol
I just checked the raw footage its a different reg to the Autocar one, but its is the Elemental yes!! The guy didnt want to play though hehe
He saw you in the mirror mate and thought "Oh ' **dear, dear** it's LCR on a KTM SuperDuke R....I'll pretend I haven't seen him and just pootle on along....or this 'Super/Hyper' car is going to end up looking a bit like a Triumph Herald...... Yet another great video mate.
noticed you saying it didn't feel as fast as what the clock's were indicating, could that be because your used to a lower seating position after riding the tuono and the RSV4 ? I have a varadero 125 ( 1st bike )and a zzr6 ( 1st big ish bike )and going 3o on the zzr6 seems like i'm going faster than when i'm going flat out on the baby varadero, But i have only been riding 3 years so have very limited knowledge on bike's, well chops if you carry on with these long period test rides where they give you a nice new bike for a week you wont have to actually buy a new one of your own lol.
+Daz070 no its just because of the smooth power, no real power band just progressive acceleration it's deceptively quick!
cool bike but I prefer the Tuono factory, hmm maybe thats because I bought one, finally lol!
I ended up going for the Ducati monster 1200r just because I have never had one as there is little to choose between the top few bikes ,I can't wait to finish running it in to unleash the 160 ponies,you got any plans to test a monster 1200r chops ?
+salisburyplain998 that's one of the bikes I would love to test but Ducati refuse to lend me any bikes 😣 if they change their mind will be top of the list 👍
Duc monster R is so pretty and something I'm looking at replacing my hyper with soon, along with the 1290r and the MT-10 SP..... not done the test rides yet but all fit the bill on paper.
Chops you were gushing over that KTML so much, maybe you should get a room 😂
Great vid, what's the tune u had playing
+gixxerollie it's only a CZcams freebie will find the name for you
How much do you weigh, if I may ask? Did you have the suspension set-up for your weight or left everything in default settings?
+Joeri De Strijcker Hi Joeri, I'm 19 stone and left suspension as it was. Did feel like it could have needed some tweaking tbh
I actually had to look up what a stone converts to ;) ; +/- 120kg, I noticed you were a 'big' guy too... just a wee bit heavier than me (I'm 18st)... and on some bikes this kind of body weight is detrimental for handling. I'll have a chat with the KTM guys... I hope I don't have to get the suspension completely re-sprung, that would annoy me...
+Joeri De Strijcker yeah when your larger like us it's well worth getting the suspension setup. Annoying on the WP forks you cannot adjust preload you need to reshim or respring to get it perfect
that's disconcerting news; the biggest issue I had with my Diavel was that it was nigh impossible to properly set-up the fork... I bought an Ohlins shock, but the Ohlins shock was just too damn expensive... ; on snooker-table like roads, no prob... but in real life, not all roads are perfectly smooth, at least not where I live. OR I go on a diet.... but it's quicker to have suspension re-sprung ;)
+Joeri De Strijcker tbh the WP suspension is nice and I wasn't disappointed with it out of the box. A setup will improve it I'm sure but don't think it will disappoint like the Diavel it's way more sporty than that 😀
Nice vid but sound is a bit weird in left ear
Mr. Chops did they say or let on at all why they only done a limited amount of KTM 690 SMR at all.
I can't find one anywhere to buy new all i get is they only made a limited amount and we've sold out
+Lee Howling I've heard that too.. the production line was shared with the 701 hence why not as many were made. Get the 701 anyway much better 😆
Lee Howling have you tried 'on the wheel' in Portslade (near Brighton)? They had 2 or 3 on the shop floor when I last went in there (granted, a few weeks ago now).
Lee Howling they have stopped making the KTM 690, Husqvarna have taken over with producing the 701 instead.
David Warner
They have made some 2017 690 SM but not as many as the Enduro 690
Lee Howling that's cool then. Our KTM dealer said they had stopped. Will go and stand on his toes for telling me incorrectly
Yes yes had to pull over from driving and watch this video. You lucky mother (beep) lol can't wait for the other videos ride safe and take it easy.
+Dave C haha thanks Dave, yeah I know super lucky ****** 😎😎
So Chops give me the final answer is it the duke or tuono? i ask because i own a beautiful 16 tuono RR and am currently looking at trading it in towards a 17 duke.
mikhailtessier1 just traded my 17 superduke for a 17 tuono factory why oh why did I buy the sd. Great bike but the aprilla is in a different league 👍🏼
Different how? I am just learning about the Tuono that there is very little you can do for increased performance and maintenance is more pricey compared. With the duke you can do a couple mods easily and get 170+hp and 106 ft lb of tq. On the Tuono is it more harder to get anything extra out of it.
mikhailtessier1 to be fair I don't know why anyone would want more power out of a naked. The Ktm is cheaper out of the box but once you start adding on the electronic packages it about the same price as the tuono. You can the throw another £2000 at the Ktm to get another ten hp. In my opinion the old superduke was a much more exciting bike to ride more raw and more fun. Don't get me wrong the duke is a lovely marching but I'd buy the tuono just for the noise and quick shifter. Plus the ktm is a little unstable at speed . At the end of the day you test ride the bikes and make your choice. Plus as said here the tuono brakes are amazing 👍🏼
I agree with all your points lol I do love my Tuono but i do regret getting the RR model and not the factory model. I might go with the SD just because it is 120 a month cheaper in insurance and i am a big tq fan more then HP.
mikhailtessier1 I'm sure you like it. It is very comfortable . Enjoy 👍🏼
Akrapovic is pronounced -vich... its from a Slavic country, where 'c' is a 'ch' sound. Cheers for the review.
How's the heat coming off the bike?
Wind ;)
+David Yeo no noticeable heat even on hot days
I like your helmet , I used to have a 2009 cbr 1000 repsol , what year and cc is yours ?
launch controll test?
Denis Dickhut
KTM got it right. The other naked bikes are designed as no fairing track bikes and naked bikes should be powerful but comfy Standard bikes. If you want a track bike with a shitty narrow seat and a sore ass and no leg room get a Super Sport. This so far is the ONLY bike worth a crap for tall people Ive found.
+NakedBeachRider yup being a larger guy this bike suits me better than the tuono which sways it for me tbh
I was actually surprised just how tall it is, I'm 6 foot and could barely flat foot the ground when I sat on one at the dealership.
Do ktms break down a lot?
They used to be a bit unreliable 10 years ago but not anymore
The RC390 is a piece of shit. Made with cheap parts and not reliable at all according to owners
I've had my 2016 for 8000miles no issues.
Looked like your stalker was having a little trouble keeping up.... ¬_¬
Stunning bike. If they could make a version without any orange on it, that'd be just lovely....Have a word please mate :)
Stalker? i think it's a buddy operating the drones for him
Yummy!....Hmm....Which kidney to sell??? ;)
177 hp and 141 Nm*
Quite simply the best naked out there for the road IMO. To me the Tuono is just a de-faired super sports bike with flat bars. The SDR is just outright bonkers!
i totally agree! i hate hearing every review oh the tuono is better then the superduke every video when all i see is an RSV4 when i look at it.
the tuono is a first class power bike, i don´t care about if it is a nakedbike or not.
The whole point of the touno is that it's a RSV with upright bars. That's literally it's appeal .
...hmmm
As fun as it is
Made in India
PASS
David Murphy more fool you then!
Also India's come a long way along with its people I'm American and can't find any fault with the Indian peoples they are smart, respectful, and funny plus they can dance lol.
