2014 KTM 1290 Super Duke R Gen 1 First Ride

Hi Guys and Girls.

Thanks for pulling into the channel! Today we have a 2014 KTM Superduke R on the first ride, I took this immediately after riding the 890.

The Gen 1 Super Duke is an absolute beast!!! This is without a shadow of a doubt the most fun bike I have ridden to date, smiles per miles were through the roof!!
I did find that i had a hard time getting to the rear brake and shifter, being pre-owned i think this bike’s ergonomics were changed around a bit to fit the owner.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the pro-taper bar vs the stock bar? I really liked the position that the pro-taper put me in.

I hope you guys also find the audio okay, this bike was insanely loud with the full SC project exhaust system. I definitely wasn’t prepared.

This is a motorcycle I would recommend everyone rides at least once in their life. It is really unfortunate that I did not manage to get a video of the S1000R ride, the difference between the two is immense.

Hit me up in the comments on which bike you would like me to do a first ride on next!

Have a good one!!
