Thanks for the review RJ - as always, your videos are brilliant, and second to none.

Such an beautiful sounding motorcycle

@kilastrika 6 лет назад

Its therapeutic to watch you filter through london's traffic sometimes. You just do it so perfectly lol. Great video.

@amiraziz4043 6 лет назад

I don’t have any idea about bikes but I love watching RJ videos, I have seen many of Daily Observations and I freakin love them. And I also have learn some good things from his videos and it’s good to know the bikers are nice with each other specially with the other bikers.

@sunbearavrigian5044 6 лет назад

Great review RJ and that 790 sounds incredible (considering it's stock!)Sadly here in the states my local dealer tells me it won't be available for at least several more months.Looking forward to your continuing review of this machine.Nice work brother and many blessings.

@Mtthwpez 6 лет назад

That 790 looks and sounds fantastic!

@XxthejackschannelxX 6 лет назад

The little pops on engine braking sound nice, reminds me of your S1000R

@raphby 6 лет назад

Roland Brown wrote for Cycleworld on march 9th: My only real criticism of the 790’s power train is that didn’t particularly like slow speeds at steady throttle opening-the fuel system seemed to be hunting slightly for the right delivery. This wasn’t remotely annoying when briefly riding through a few sleepy Spanish villages, but might be more so on a city commute.

@usmantariq361 6 лет назад

So clean and refreshing.

@MrYankees06 6 лет назад

RJ's motorcycle noises are spot on!!! TAKATAKATAKA!

@theincrediblesulk5543 6 лет назад

What a great bike!! Love the sound! And quite some drivingskills needed in London ;-)

@twiggyuno 6 лет назад

Thanks RJ it sounds great too

@ronanrogers4127 6 лет назад

Thats going to be a killer engine in the off-road 790R too...can’t wait

@Ad_Mortem02 6 лет назад

Omg how can a stock exhaust sound sooooo gooooood!! 😍😍

@howsid6477 6 лет назад

Love you videos man

@SmeetCoProductions 6 лет назад

Thanks for the vid. Please can we see the old DT 360 again some time?

@Pomoz7 6 лет назад

The hunting and surging is the same in the Duke 390. I just had to use the clutch to smooth out the ride at low speeds especially when filtering.

@dougie1325 6 лет назад

KTM do make some awesome bikes don't they. For me personally RJ your Superduke is your best bike, I love it!

@abdullahharb2888 6 лет назад

awesome video . can you do a review on the cb125r exmotion

@baddriversofindia9843 6 лет назад

Man that was awesome!

@mariusz1515 6 лет назад

It sounds amazing :D

@BlueMarbleRider 6 лет назад

Sounds like a great bike, RJ, although I hope it doesn't remove the Nuda from my viewing! Thanks for the scrupulously frank and detailed feedback on the 790. I'm sure they'll be aftermarket fixes for the lean hunt/surge issue, but it goes to show that you can't really trust the journos to be completely accurate as their ad-revenue depends on glossing over the drawbacks.

@SonriseSunset 9 месяцев назад

I just realised this video is from 2018? The new 790 (2023) supposedly has fueling issues worked out, but good review and summary!

@PhantomRides 6 лет назад

Two words... Freaking awesome!

What a beast motorcycle!

@Showmetheevidence- 6 лет назад

@royaljordanian would you rather have this or the 701 vitpilen?

@joefradley1777 6 лет назад

Amazing how your speedo blurs out when you drive fast 🤔

@ElvenMans 6 лет назад

Yea, neat feature isn't it?

@th3s3rv37 6 лет назад

I thought I was the only one to notice haha

@tomyates5075 5 лет назад

Yet it’s pointless doing it because of the line markings on the road 😂

@zerocochrane1713 2 года назад

I have same feeling with gears, works very smooth but you dont't feel it, and it's easy to miss neutral for the first time

@Thegeordiemonkey 6 лет назад

For the standard exhaust that sounds lovely, almost dare i say, Nudaesque, like you say with aftermarket pipe it should be epic!

@sayan1667 6 лет назад

I am using JBL headphones and the quality of the exhaust sound is little bit muddy, but is very nice and deep sound, i must hear it in person so i can compare it better. Thank you for the video.

@nolongerinuse488 6 лет назад

Sounds awesome for stock. Almost like the SDR..almost.

@olis790 6 лет назад

I think 44teeth did mentions some surging at low speed when they went through town in Gran Canaria. All in all pretty positive opinions on the bike from all the reviews I have read and watched!

@umathegermanshepherd3966 6 лет назад

Damm im just waiting for the a2 licence , and watching this video , i cant wait to get a Ktm 390 Duke. Awesome bike. Thx 4 share this! Drive safe ! Greetings for Spain!

@mahdiab6375 6 лет назад

VEGAS Kdkd hello

@IbizaFRct 6 лет назад

You can have the 690 too if you find one or pay to restrict her :p

@umathegermanshepherd3966 6 лет назад

Fabio Soares wow , thx 4 the info dude! I will see if i found one for a good price .

@CMKA664 6 лет назад

I know I am a bit one-sided cause I already bought the 790 and yeah it s a great bike so far but it s a bike which wasn't build for the city, but you'r right thats a point if you want to ride in the city. And one the best parts is the stock exhaust!

@GaryJohnWalker1 6 лет назад

Ace review. The thrum sound is lovely, no doubt more decibels will improve it. That fueling issue, could be an excuse to ignore the 790 at least for a few months. Shame emission tests are still charades where certain road/rev speeds means ktm have probably tuned in troughs for it to pass.

@DanielDiaz-nh4ou 6 лет назад

RJ me encanta tus videos nunca me pierdo ninguno como me gustaria tener todas tus motos pero aca en argentina son muy caras y la nuda no se consiguen saludos muy grande y un abrazo amigo. no se ingles solo español

@misterash1733 6 лет назад

Nice video! :O What action camera do you use? Looking for one for my road legal quad bike helmet :D.. Thanks!

@robertlad6848 6 лет назад

Nice Duke. Hope I will get a 390 Duke soon. :) Ride on!

@muhammadadeebdaniwijaya6930 3 года назад

Have you bought it?

@cranky1812 6 лет назад

Hey RJ tell us about your experience on KTM Duke 790

@liricalartist 6 лет назад

Wanna see you on 390!

@RhoadsChristopher 6 лет назад

Ktm are notorious for running lean, I fitted a rapid bike easy on my 390 duke and it helped smooth out a lot of that mess.

@x2xhellx3x 6 лет назад

Sounds awesome for a stock pipe!

@JK-rp7wi 6 лет назад

Bro big fan from india. Love ur all videos

@toothpik00 6 лет назад

Do you know if there's any remapping to fix the fuelling that goes on when they add an Akra pipe?

@bachterman 6 лет назад

it's like snap, crackle and pop are sitting in the exhaust.

@OfficialSmifi 6 лет назад

And, where do you mount your microphone when you rode this bike? Was it strapped to the exhaust? The sound is very meaty.

@JoeyCbr 2 года назад

Do you still own it though? i still have my 2018, then again i dont live in london and can use most of the power so fuelling I've never thought to be an issue, it adds character and for town you just put it in street mode and its fine. I would like to try the 890 more spec'd out version.

@ysozugenc1 6 лет назад

Hello RJ. Can you compare it to the Nuda? How is the power delivery, ride quality and comfort?

@fredeveraere7312 11 месяцев назад

Hi ! Nice video !!

@ReiDeathGr 6 лет назад

Is that stock exhaust if so that sounds awesome from the mic

@szadam0673 6 лет назад

How do you make GoPro footage so sharp even in that cloudy weather? 🤔 Mine looks like its 480p even if i play with it in premiere pro

@johnswanson6994 6 лет назад

@ZsoltBoda 6 лет назад

Hi RoyalJordanian, sorry can you pls be more specific about the fueling. "It hunts and searches" what does that mean? Thanks in advance!

@Showmetheevidence- 6 лет назад

It sounds cool coming off the throttle :)

@pamsimonson5500 5 лет назад

My dream street bike

@kruisr7449 6 лет назад

I do commuting also with my Duke 790 in Berlin. But i am far far away from your driving Skills. I cant do that in Berlin. :) Respect!

@DanielJoseph97 6 лет назад

I didn't understand the fueling and hunting and searching, can someone explain that please?

@mulisha0351 6 лет назад

Will be interesting to hear a de-dated and pipe sound. Sounds similar to the nuda kinda

@GERdogge1988 6 лет назад

Hey RJ, why do you need to switch modes to see the fuelling? Isnt there a regular fuelgeuge or what ever? I ride an Hornet 600 1999, so i have no fuelgauge at all >.

@OfficialSmifi 6 лет назад

This 'hunting and searching' you mentioned. Is this about fuel management and delivery? Is it a jerky ride because its trying to be fuel efficient?

@chris746568462 6 лет назад

Should i get one as my first bike?

6 лет назад

That hunt & surge at no-load speeds is the main problem I have on my 2019 Duke 390. It's a that-grin-on-your-face bike everytime you twist the throttle, alas the bike has difficulty in keeping the same speed in city traffic.. I always thought it's somewhat inherent characteristics of the single-cylinder motor.

@CheradenineZakalwe 6 лет назад

i'ts the characteristics of the emission standards. EC U remap might help

@leykias 6 лет назад

Does KTM do ECU patches to fix the fueling problem? Damn I hope this fixed by the time it comes to the US. :(

@pedronogueira8148 6 лет назад

8:13 RJ, is there any way to solve the issue of hunting (ECU reflash, for instance)? I'd buy this as my daily commuter, so that'd be a pretty serious problem to have...

@IM-nt6ql 6 лет назад

Hey RJ been a fan of your videos for quite a while now. You seem to get your hands on some of my favourite motorcycles. Just two questions how does it compare to the post 2015 Duke 690s seeing that you loved that too? I personally right now wouldn’t see myself upgrading to this. Should i?

@royaljordanian 6 лет назад

Everyone is different and many people judge a bike by the specs, nothing gives you a better impression than a ride and the feeling the bike transmits through the seat/bars/pegs. To me, those first impressions are extremely important, It's almost like I don't want a bike that grows on me, I want a bike that impresses me from the get go.

@IM-nt6ql 6 лет назад

Thanks for the response, that is a pretty damn good way to look at things!! One thing that i do really respect and love about KTM though is that they are always looking/willing to innovate and improve (essentially what won me over to the brand). Hopefully will get to try the 790 someday

@SoulReaper599xx 6 лет назад

Should I get this as my first bike?

@asanchezc 6 лет назад

this beauty was my first option till I tried SHIVER 900 :)))

@_mariors 6 лет назад

what do you feel about the suspension system?

@StanTheBrick 6 лет назад

RJ, what is your opinion on speeding and speed limits?

@BRUISER1 6 лет назад

Why haven't you added a cruiser motorcycle to your collection?

@MrStr8den 4 года назад

Which do you prefer, the Husqvarna 900 or the Ktm 790?

@skyhighsoaringhigh9480 5 лет назад

Is it having a up/down auto blipper? please let me know.

@arjunvdev9133 6 лет назад

I want RJ to buy the 790. .😍😍😍

@brayvdb2191 6 лет назад

Arjun V dev just to hear a akrapovic with is quality microphone 👌😁

@Allison1663 6 лет назад

ktm motorcycles look amazing but those mirrors make me cringe so many better designs could have been used.

@novalis8181 6 лет назад

They had to cut down on costs somewhere... its one hell of a deal for the technology they put into this thing anyways. They probably produced like a million of them in 2007 or so and have to get rid of them now haha

@AJHDuk 6 лет назад

You've got my thumb up on that , absolutely horrendous ( like most stock mirrors on naked bikes nowadays )

@Masterukblaster 6 лет назад

I kinda like them, better than the circle ones that other bikes have :)

@hujimix 6 лет назад

People who can afford a big bike like the Dukes always get aftermarket mirrors anyways

@myfrozenvision 6 лет назад

It's once because of costs but in the First place because of them having to many of thous Mirrors laying around everywhere and just wanting to get rid of them.

@frazerpowell4646 6 лет назад

RJ your spot on, the fueling at 30 to 40 is awful, however The dealer where I rode one said the AKRO may sort this out, so I’m waiting for it to be fitted to there demo bike, keep the good work up, see u around town cheers.

@royaljordanian 6 лет назад

Doubt it, it can actually make it worse, the only way it will sort out with an Akra is if you put a PCV and tune on a dyno

@frazerpowell4646 6 лет назад

RoyalJordanian great Bike other than that, maybe they will issue a revised fueling map with the AKA, like Aprilia do on the Tuono 1100 V4 Factory, if the fueling could be sorted it would be my every day commuter, in stead of my 1290 Super Adv S 😃

@scottmclennan6114 6 лет назад

There’s a building at 1:43 that RJ often goes past that somehow looks like the back end of an ocean liner.

@edvanandel 6 лет назад

It’s called The Ark.

@scottmclennan6114 6 лет назад

Ed van Andel thanks

@lewislloyd6702 6 лет назад

can i ask what zones do you commute from and to?

@praveenyenda777 6 лет назад

Why dont ktm change the mirrors they are using the same for all the duke series starting from 125cc

@lucadino66 6 лет назад

praveen yenda Even the supermotos have these, luckily I changed them

@michaelscarn8348 6 лет назад

Really love the KTM’s, just wish they’d put some nice mirrors on from factory! They just look too boxy

@adityajonathanmamahit2889 6 лет назад

Oh what a lovely town, if compared to my town, though

@nwmotog 6 лет назад

Eagerly awaiting the american scalpel

@abymathew295 6 лет назад

why do u guys have that zigzag lines on the road.????? what does that mean.????

@AbombBiker 6 лет назад

Watched a lot of reviews of the 790 and there certainly have been complaints about the fueling while in and around town. A few of the reviewers said that Rain mode sorted this out. I would be very interested to find out if this is true as I am close to ordering a new 790 myself. Great video as always RJ. Cheers.

@royaljordanian 6 лет назад

Who buys this bike and rides in Rain mode ?

@AbombBiker 6 лет назад

I see your point :) Will just have to wait and see if the fueling can be fixed some other way then.
