Living with the 2017 KTM 1290 Super Duke R - Long Term Review
I've had the pleasure of riding the fabulous 2017 KTM Super Duke R for the last few weeks and have got to know the bike pretty well. In this video I review "The Beast" in different riding scenarios, for example riding at night, in the wet, in town and so on and conclude my own list of positive and negatives about the bike - I also address the specific areas that were requested of me via Facebook and Twitter. Finally I look in detail at the cost of ownership of the Super Duke R and try out the infamous launch control! In short, this is my most comprehensive review of any bike to date....stay tuned!

"Proper journos, not amateurs like myself" You are the best motorbike reviewer and this was hands-down the best motorcycle review I've ever seen.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Wow, thank you very much!

@nigelren3719 6 лет назад

It's like my mate got a new bike and I went round for a cup of tea and he gave me a shot.

@stevenharris4432 6 лет назад

TheMissendenFlyer can you do a review on versys1000 gt please

@Bhg265 6 лет назад

Agreed. Most reviewers neglect a lot of nuances the average perspective buyer would love to know. TMF hits it all.

@raphaelauteuil8502 5 лет назад

He really is - I don't trust journalists, they need to satisfy the brands, otherwise they're not invited to launches and are not given bikes to review. Not RU-vidrs! TMF is easily one of the best. I also watch Lamb Chop Rides and Motozest, really like their style as well.

@Radio_180 4 года назад

Time for a video of the new 2020 model (“The Beast 3.0”).

@VFactory-vl5fi Год назад

Andy, had one of these since May after a KTM 390 Duke, 1050 speed triple and a Tuono V4 Factory. This thing is the best bike over ever ridden. It’s far more fun than any of those other bikes, and it’s fuel economy is outstanding (best in class). I get between 50-60mpg. I’ve seen 68mpg. Unbelievable fun, torque, comfort, handling, engagement and fuel economy. I honestly think I’ve found the bike that I’m meant to be on.

@SuperSuperlight 6 лет назад

You shouldn't do yourself down MR Missenden Flyer. Your reviews and the Channel as a whole is one of the best. Too many "reviewers" are happy to rag the machine to within an inch of its life and do not give any thoughts to the overall ownership of the bike, it's almost just an excuse to ride a new bike and get a few views on their channel. I would imagine it has taken a long time to make this video, together with the editing, and I fully appreciated the hard work and time you must put into them . Keep up the excellent coverage and I'm looking forward to many more videos to come..... ;0)

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Thank you Richard - and yes you are right, these long term reviews are a major effort on my part so I'm cuffed you've recognised that....all the best - TMF

Great job. You looked at many features the ordinary/average rider would find important, yet are often ignored/neglected in more professional reviews. Definitely one of your best reviews. Thanks.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Thank you dsimon9 s that is exactly my intention when I do these reviews, I try and cover off the things I would look out for if I were considering buying the bike - to me whether the seat is comfy and if the mirrors work are just as important as the provision of 9 way traction control (more important actually!)....

@rossanderson5447 5 лет назад

I enjoyed the review. It was very informative, and answered some excellent questions. I would also add I appreciate the transparency / honesty of the reviewer. One can enjoy the “hooligan” bike but admit ones own limitations in this regard. To me it adds credibility.

@Nicko_1 6 лет назад

Yeah definitely the best and most comprehensive bike review on RU-vid. Every detail, major and minor, of the bike is covered. Plus the viewers questions awesome. Hope you get to review a limitless amount of bikes mate, I’ll be watching for sure

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Thank you|!

@themotohoe2521 6 лет назад

I know I’m a tad behind, but I can’t watch this without mentioning how helpful this review is. In fact, the best review so far. Great job! Would love to meet and ride one day! Keep it up.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Tell me about it!

@4ndr3w70 6 лет назад

I think I didn't watch fully video 45min long on the youtube before. This felt like 10minutes. I've watched a LOT of motorcycle reviews before and this is hands down the best one I've seen. This is how it should be done, really. You got my like and a sub. Many thanks for your time and for making this brilliant, helpful video. Cheers!

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Wow thanks - and welcome along!

@ritfloyd 5 лет назад

Thanks to your review I'll be test riding and probably buying this bike. Your review was extremely comprehensive, thank you 👍. The only thing I don't think you've mentioned is the turning circle but I'll figure that out in the test ride anyway.

Grateful for the in-depth review, TMF! I do no consider the length is an issue. I enjoyed this video, and if i didn't have the time your shorter, first impressions review is excellent. This format - short and long reviews is great. all the best

Did you end up getting it? I'm considering one now as well although I've seen this video before and test ridden one, still very informative

Superb stuff, definitely consider doing more of this long form. Holy Moly that launch control...

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Sure thing Ian - I can only do it of course when a manufacturer lends me a bike for a long period - so at the moment that's only Triumph, KTM and soon Ducati....

@cliveboock1082 6 лет назад

Greetings TMF from New Zealand. I have a 3 year old MT-09 and the Super Duke will probably be my next bike. Excellent review, as usual, and good to get real world opinions rather than track day and drag strip features. Keep up the good work.

"Proper Journos" should be bringing you water and shining your shoes TMF. The in-depth analysis is just superb and thorough.

@itlcurtis 6 лет назад

Hi TMF, thanks for another great review, full of exactly the sort of info we all want to hear. I find this particularly useful and interesting because, although it's not the exact model I'm after (that would be the Super Adventure S), I'm interested in adding something similar to my garage next year. Very well filmed, edited and most of all presented, less of the amateur comments because you could give many a "profession" hack a run for their money. It's answered so many questions and although they're different bikes they're very similar so it's easy for me to imagine what the SAS would be like. Cheers TMF, keep up the excellent work 👍 P.S. You've always given good advice - you were actually very instrumental in me buying my first bike just over a year ago now, and what a year its been on my Street Triple Rx. Now I'm waiting for my second bike, a CCM Spitfire Scrambler, to be built and I'm already planning on the third to complete my collection (for now anyway).

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Thank you CV - My next long termer is the Super Adventure and I give that a similarly in depth look...so stay tuned for that! CCM Spitfire eh? I came soooo close to putting a deposit on one of those....

@diemman70 6 лет назад

Still think it’s an ugly bike. No KTMs for me.

@TheMissendenFlyer 6 лет назад

Really? I think this one looks pretty good.....but in the main I agree, KTMs generally don't quite have the looks to appeal to me...although they are improving in recent years!

Its taken me a while to get around to watching this because it was so long. Just needed the right moment with a cup of coffee and some peace and quiet. Worth the wait and the 45 minutes flew by, nicely paced. Easily your best long term review so far. A bobby dazzler. The bit on the launch control made me laugh. Your sphincter was in overdrive and I don't blame you. The aceleration must be in the 0-60 in sub 3 second class. To design it so the wheel floats at a set height above the floor is a curious decision. Perhaps that is the optimum setting to safely maximise acceleration. Or, alternatively, the design team thought it would be hilarious to scare the crap out of anybody trying it out who thought wheelie control did what it says on the tin. "Imagine their faces when it lifts off the floor", cue designers rolling around laughing. In two days I get my baby Duke 390, no launch control needed for 44hp but I can't wait!
