I'm sick of these comments saying too many commercial or ads it's his videos only way we can support him is watching ads or buy premium. Anyway your videos are amazing.
Way to many commercials CZcams is getting bad. I hope you get paid for them or it'll make people stop watching
Those are placed automatically. I just looked into it and deleted half of them. Hope that helps the experience.
“What’s up everybody, Chase on Two Wheels “….
“Damnit Jipson” -Classic Tees commercial.
I drive a truck. Premium is way worth it.
@chaseontwowheels actually drive for R&L. You passed one in the video. lol
@@gtoramirez "Whats up everybody, Chase on Two Wheels"
......"Here at Tire Rack, its how tire buying should be"
I was literally at Mountain Motor Sports in Roswell yesterday looking at this bike. Good to see how it compares to the 790.
I just hope KTM is more reliable.
Bike looks amazing!
Still rocking mt 07 and loving it.
OC: OC for life. Gotta say 1390 Super Duke first ride is my favourite. I've swung a leg over every Duke but the Super Duke. Everytime I ask my dealer for a test ride I get this shit look like I gotta leave half it's cost upfront and maybe a kidney as collateral, as like I'm gonna do stupid shit on said test ride. Fact is I would do said stupid 💩 but they can at least give me the benefit of the doubt. 😂😂😂
You’ve made my day. The 990 just coming in tomorrow ❤️ Thank you
I’ve been waiting for this ever since this bike came out
Good timing on this video. Wild I first subbed to you when you were under 10K. I sold my 16 ZX10 in 2020 thanks to Covid bullshit. I’ve been eyeballing the Duke 990 to ride something different if I don’t go track dedicated. Piece of me wants the Super Duke, but it’s expensive and insane.
Thanks for this review Chase! Your ride excitement seemed like this is a fun bike. The look has grown on me. Looks awesome, sounds great and power to weight ratio is amazing! Think I will get this in black over the mt09. 😉
Can’t wait for the RC 990 R
Since I’m looking for the RC R when it’s released. I really appreciate this first ride of the Duke 990 thanks!
That bike looks perfect and certainly works perfectly. Personally, I'd prefer it over the MT09, but not over the Triumph Street Triple.
Speed triple rs as first bike .. love it
MT09 all the way. At least Yamaha gives you the electronics outright and not behind a freaking pay wall that KTM does.
Street Triple 765 RS is king. We have to see if they make an R version and how that stacks up. Also if they solved all the reliability issues 😂
@@kugangles9860 wat you mean a pay wall ? 💀
MT09 is nice, I like a more tucked riding position though, which the Street Triple and Z900 offer. I was gonna buy either the MT09 or Street Triple until I found a used low mileage 1 owner ‘22 Z900 this spring 2 towns over and was able to pay cash. Glad I did, I much prefer the ergo’s over the MT09’s, and having run with my buddies XSR900, the Z900 has a little bit more power pretty much everywhere, especially top end. The XSR is more flickable feeling, the Z900 feels more stable. Didn’t need all the electronics like the 6 axis IMU, only really want ABS and TC for rain. Plus the ‘20+ Z900’s have compression/rebound adjustable suspension…
YES YES. KTM KTM. BEST VIDEO REVIEW. THANK YOU
Looks sharp. Literally
Wish I had one, needs a belly pan, would look awesome.
Great review as always.
I was thinking the same ... way too big of a gap between the wheel and frame
Just bought a 24 8S three weeks ago. Love it. But If this would’ve been in stock I would’ve went over budget. lol
Such an intriguing bike tbh, so much to offer
You made it sound like your favorite is the 990 or am I off base? It sounds like I would like the 990 best due to stability that is important to me. You did a really fun review and I enjoyed est bing it. Thank you!
I received mine two weeks ago. The best bike I have ever ridden. Yes, it's overpriced, but I love it.
God it looks like an alien I love it. These things get better and better.
Same with Triumph, who needs speed triple 1200 RS when the Street triple 765 RS so amazing. The Las one is direct competitor to the 990... great video
BTW 990 looks much better to me than the 1390
i looked at this bike specifically just a few days ago! too bad i wasnt there when you were
oc the 790 duke is the perfect size and all around great bike
You should do a review on the 790, I'd love to see what you think of that bike.
I would love to see a track test of this or the 1390 Super Duke.
Between 990 and 765 street rs wich one is more comfortable?????? Thanks for the videos men are so incredible
Your the best oc
What jacket is that? I like it.
you mentioned the 990 adventure. ive also seen an RC that is supposed to have the 990 engine and im STOKED about it. i want one so bad.
I mean, a 1390 would make sense if you want more torque down low. On top revs, my 890r wasn't that much slower untill 200kph (124MPH i think). When lower in the rpms you could really see the difference. Good to see more kudos to the duke series now, nice review!
You had a gt500 stalking you at 14:30 lol
Please make comparison between this and mt-09 face to face. Thanks!
Agree👍👍👍
surprised u havent done a husky 701 review yet
Looking forward to the RC 990
Would be wild if they don't drop that
Does a 1000cc sportbike pull harder on the highway in the wrong gears like this one does?
From the point of view of daily riding in urban conditions, I am interested in the acceleration of the bike in low revs. Having also ridden the Yamaha MT09, can you tell which of the two engines is more elastic? Which of the two engines has more torque at low rpm?
MT09 has arguable the most torque on the market down low. I have a 2024
I hope this lc8 doesn’t have chocolate camshaft like their smaller displacement family
they all have camshaft issues bruv. This is no different.
@@bmwm3manLC8 is a great engine. Much more reliable than the 790 engine
LC8 is the 790 engine. Its KTMs parallel twin platform. @@Dams21
@@Dams21Did they ever resolve the cam issues for 2023+ Duke 790's ??
OC: I WANT A MINI DUKE! Or I guess you can put Grom wheels on the 390...but it's not the same 😂
should have put it in track mode and notice the lean angle sencor
Whatever happened to the red camera you used in your old videos, idk if it's just me but this camera is a little choppy 😢
Can we get a Ducati Hypermotard 698 review?
Hopefully they fixed the camshaft issues that they (KTM) have been ignoring on the 790/890/901 LC8C engines
Hopefully hopefully.. for years people have said that. I do like ktm’s dont get me wrong but they are just unreliable. I even think ducati has better reliability than ktm these days.
I’d consider this if they figured out their glass camshafts
20k hard miles on my 21 890r and it runs like the day I bought it new.
@@gorillamoto5329 Mine lasted 3200 miles with perfect maintenance. Scorched cam lobes and metal in the oil. It's the luck of the draw with KTM.
How few years ago was the 990 the SuperDuke? 😳
RC 990..... soon, very soon.
soo is this considered a litre bike?
Are they putting better camshafts in them now? The 790s and 890s had major camshaft issues for a few years.
That’s why I sell my 890R under 1,500 miles. Didn’t want to deal with that. Shame on KTM.
@@jesusamaroreyes4269Did they ever fix the cam issues with the Duke 790 ?? I'm considering on getting one for a stunt bike.
I went to the ktm test days tried the 990 and the 1390. Current bike is a 1290 gen1. I thought the 990 would be a better bike for me. But i was wrong. The 990 pulls so hard. It looks much smaller and you think i can full throtle this. Pop wheel go's up. With the 1390 you know you have too much power you need to ride with focus. The 990 is just a wolf in sheepscloths. I thought i had my mind made up. But it made it way harder.
Edit extra info for the ktms "demo mode"
What i comment when it comes op
My previous bike was a 990 and the option for a quickshift is a aftermarket. Just like with my current 1290 (gen1) and the quickshifter i want cost 800 euro it is a quickshift with blipper.
I just took a look at a local ktm dealer and if i buy a gen 2 or 3 and i want a quickshifter it is 400 euro, and it is the most official one you can get.
Just like a tech pack if i would go for newer duke i wouldn't need a tech pack itself. So why should i pay for it.
So in a older bike upgrade point of view i like this option to get a factory option on the roll. As a newer bike buyer i get the part it is there but it isn't.
Also if you buy a brand new bike just try to get a deal with the dealer for the extra options. It is software they already have so if the could program a 1000 euro software for 500 they would still make 500 and you saved 500.
The dealer doesn't have "free software", they need to pay KTM for everthing, the bike is programmed through theor servers. Dealer even showed their net price of little over 600€ for the 990 tech pack. They gave me it for that as a deal sweetener.
@@hekeli so instead of 1000 it is was 600 still proves the point i gues. Didnt say it was free software but that there can be made a good deal
🙋🏿♂️ So, in a shootout, which one are you picking?
MT-09, 765 RS, or 990 Duke?
765 rs
@@RazorRamone02 I've gotta ask why. It's up there on my next purchase list, but I'm a bit unsure.
Why would you chose it over the others?
i would go for the new mt09sp best of both world
the 990 is nice but overpriced for it's class
Duke all day. Yall just need to go ride all 3. The Duke is way more fun and just a beast compared to the other 2
765 RS has better brakes, more hp, and most likely suspension also for a cheaper price than this standard 990. Until they make an R version that would be more comparable. Would choose the Triumph over the Yamaha as well just off a quality & ergonomic point. Gotta sit & ride all 3 to see what you like tho.
It's lost that supermotard spirit of the 890R, and the styling is a bit off to my eyes. I'll be interested to see what the R model looks like.
This bike could convert me
3.5 grand better than the 8S?
If only KTM could fix their massive QC issues
Can we get a first ride on LiveWire S2 Mulholland and Del Mar?🥺
They dropped it off with us 2 days ago for a long term loan!
Yamaha vs KTM, what's closer to your heart?
"Unintentionally test, but a test nonetheless" - Dr. Seuss
Waiting for the bmw g310r first ride
The FPS in the On-Board POV takes are very bad, is that even 30?
The physical size and engine displacement of this thing are pushing it into supernaked territory where the competition is going to kill it. CB1000R, MT10, GSXS1000 all start within 1k and will walk this thing all day. I dig the side profile and the big guy friendly dimensions, just not sure where this is supposed to fit in the market.
Yeah they're pushing the price honestly
I'm sure cfmoto helped with the build
Someone said that front light assembly looks like a gaping lady part. Now I can't unsee that everytime I look at the front of the bike.
395 lbs is ktm claimed weight without gas. Magazines say 418lbs wet.
Meh, I'll stick with my reliable aka "boring "(according to the experts 🙄) 2020 z900
KTM is good, but not on the reliability side. I own an 890 and it always has minor issues.
Wait for the 2025. They'll release a R model with the brembos. They do it everytime. Bike is manufactured in China now at the KTM/CFmoto factory. The quality isn't there anymore, pre 2021. The controls are weak and fragile. Other then that it's a awesome bike. If you buy one make sure to inspect it thoroughly. KTM ships them in shitty wood frame crates wraped in cardboard. Shipping damage is common and can be missed by your dealer.
So the middleweight KTM is now a « liter bike »
Mt-09 for the win. Way more bang for the buck without having to pay for software upgrades
I’ll stick with my 890R. Better looking, better suspension, complete brake system (top shelf Brembos from the bars to calipers)
"That amount of power is dumb"
Bro is still 80hp away from what some people recommend beginners to start on
Who recommends beginners to start on a 200hp bike?
@@amococ2487 Enough Americans out there recommending kids to skip a 600, which itself is pretty stupid to start on.
Even if the power is tame-ish down low
@@Daniel-dj7fh 600s don't make 200hp!
@@Daniel-dj7fh 600s make around 120-130hp. Similar max hp to the Duke 990. The Duke has way more torque across the low to mid range. I just didn't understand where you came up with the 80hp more comment. Not hating. I just think your figures are off.
@@amococ2487 120+80=200, and what's recommended when someone says a 600 is not enough, that's right a 1000cc bike. Which fun fact has 200hp.
But what I was trying to say is that if this, which I agree is probably stupid fast as it is already. Why anyone would need the 1390 duke as an example, or a 1000cc sport or naked bike. That was the actual message.
For the love of God, do not buy this bike until KTM stops making their camshafts out of cheese. I can only assume this will suffer the same fate as the 790 and 890 engines.
Chase, come on, buddy! You've ridden so many bikes and never compared them with each other. No offense, dude, but your motorcycle reviews look like commercials. Let's finish it. Your followers would love to hear your opinion on different motorcycles in a comparative way 😊.
Buddy, never rely on any youtuber for their opinion any any product, particularly motorcycles and firearms. Their opinions are just far too subjective and they never, THEY NEVER have set a standard for what they are comparing to.
I compare them sometimes but it's hard to compare bikes when you aren't riding them one after another. For small teams like mine it is VERY difficult to source a full set of bikes for comparison videos. OEM companies don't treat us like they do the big magazine companies unfortunately. Maybe one day and when that day comes I'll bring you guys amazing comparisons!
Thanks for your response, my friend! I mean not a big comparison, just a few words. For example, you recently rode the Yamaha MT-09 2024. You could just say how it brakes and how it feels overall compared to the KTM Duke 990. In short, you know what I mean😉.
Glad I got a triumph over Ktm ..
@@obeii1805 You would also be glad if you chose Ktm 😉.
Head assembly getting uglier every year
Video content is good but a little long....sorry
That’s one of the ugliest headlights I have ever seen
KTM make unreliable bike with bad history.
Then don’t buy one! More for me at a discounted price.
@@kj385 fair enough. It is cheap for a reason
I just added this comments for new bikers
