The Evo has landed.

[bigtree]

KTM have brought out a new Superduke, the 1390. It’s actually only 49cc bigger than the 1290 at 1350cc, thought I would go for the semi active suspension model this time. Got it delivered yesterday as the weather wasn’t great at the weekend plus lots of salt on the roads.

 

[LesW]

It'll look nice when the front's finished off

 

[SIFTA SAM]

I still prefer a 1950's 125cc BSA bantam

 

[bigtwin]

That’ll be a beast!

[DandJ]

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what happened to motorbikes looking like motorbikes

Tis the ugliest front I’ve seen yet, sorry but not my cup of tea.

 

[Vansflyer]

Looking good Trev, I hope it is all you want and more. Have you been to Wheelie school recently to polish your skills

It has various settings for anti wheelie, From low to extra high.

Have that on my RD 400E it’s called a throttle

Lovely bike by the way had a test ride a few years back on the new Ducati Streetfighter, put a deposit down before I test rode then got deposit back as my brain disengages when I ride a fast bike

 

[PP Bear]

KTM are like that.

I know

 

[GMak57]

Great bike, still prefer my gen 1 SDR though

 

[RowleyBirkinQC]

Back in the mists of time, didn’t KTM cease manufacturing/development of the road legal RC8 Superbike citing concerns about powerful sports bikes having no place on the public highways?

My mate has the V4S Streetfighter, hence the reason I had to get a bigger bike.

Yes.

I changed the exhaust and swapped the seat for the Powerparts one.

Yes.

 

[Yorick]

All KTMs are hideous IMHO.

 

[Geistguy]

It’s only 190hp.

Wind behind and down hill, you won't even notice the lack of power

 

[steve69]

Did anyone see the "Shed & Buried" episode with the motorbike in a suitcase. How cool would that be to use on motorhome
trips.

Many of the modern bikes are hideous , I like KTM's .

At least KTM are different, alll these new lumps of plastic bikes look the same from 10ft away

 

[Insider]

Always have lots of arguements going on in my head about bikes after riding them for years. Disappeared down a rabbit hole for a while with this looking at the different lift angles etc for wheelies etc. Was shocked to see my PVC is more economical!!! Enjoy

 

[bigtree]

Went out for my first proper ride on it yesterday, went up to Callander and back over the Dukes pass.
