Flat tire footwear reviews Videos

KTM's are junk. I have personally owned two from new and they were both terrible. The first one packed in after the first 15 minutes of run time! I've never owned such unreliable/poor quality bikes before or since. They should come with magnetic trays attached underneath to collect all the bits that fall off. There's a lot of them out there now but that doesn't mean they're good. They're marketed very well, make a bike for every possible class and back it up with a mass of upgrades.

I love my 1290 r. I have not had any problems. 2014 model 12000 miles. going strong.

I never thought KTMs were good looking bikes until really just recently. And as you said, everyone is drooling over that 1290 Super Duke R and I freely admit that yes, I was drooling too! I love the blacked out model with just a tinge of the KTM orange. But the bigger issue is really doing your research on ANY bike to find out about reliability and owner satisfaction. You know I'm from the cruiser world and this is why I was really looking into Victory. According to Consumer Reports, Victory was rated the HIGHEST motorcycle brand in terms of owner satisfaction last year. And of course, owner satisfaction included reliability and low-cost of maintenance. But as you point out, the bottom line is to do your research! Great video man.

It's a bad ass bike in black but there is only one dealer around, in Akron, that scares me off of it.

I have an 07 KTM 990, lets put it this way i work on it more than I ride it I now have a Yamaha Super Tenere. Dont Change your mind it will be a headache

me personally I don't think ktm sucks I have a ktm 350 exc converted to sm the service hours are low every 15 hours and it is a lot of maintenance but its more cause my bike is designed around racing where they do full engine service after every race. I have no problem with this cause its a strong bike I've had no reliability issues at all with it and love the bike its only a 350 dirt bike that's been made road legal and from the factory I balanced the wheels and put more streetable tires on it and I can push 80+ mph not fully pinned out you would need a Yamaha/Honda/Kawasaki/Suzuki 450 with power adders to do that generally (and they aren't even street legal) or sprocket changes and I'm still on factory sprockets the only reason I haven't pinned it all the way is cause the wheel needs a little more balancing and suspension adjustments. yes ktms are expensive to buy but that because they come basically loaded high end suspensions and breaks ect. when buying one they are fairly decked out and remember they are built to do one thing good not all around bikes my bikes designed for enduro racing and its really good at just that its fast off the line and all the way to top end it has good off road suspension that soaks up the little stuff but handles the bigger stuff as well and still gets over 50mpg doing that. yes the r3 gose as fast and probably better mpg but this is an off road bike not an on road sport bike making enough power to keep up with 450s and take them when the trail becomes technical. so ktm as a whole every one I've ever talked to who owned one loves it, and they know what comes with owning a ktm and wouldn't change a thing, plus they are still the best and almost only 2 stroke bike company out there (yes I know Yamaha makes 2 strokes but they are not as good and don't evolve and don't make over a 250). yes they are expansive, yes they are a lot of maintenance but its because they are designed around racing where bikes get serviced ever race and rebuilt every year if not upgraded to the newest model. Just food for thought I wouldn't suggest owning one unless you are ready to spend a lot, do the work on it yourself, and push the bike to its limit.

I have an RC8. it is an awesome machine...with any bike you will have its flaws....yes the coolant proble....I have to replace the water pump at 7k but it is a one of a kind bike and I love it...I hate cookie cutter bikes....lol..everyone has a gsxr, honda, yamaha, 600/1k know you see the s100rr often....same colors different people...SMH...

All the KTM bashing here obviously do not understand ktm. If you want performance, there must be some sacrifice. Super Duke is a performance bike made not for pussies who ride on the street abiding laws. It has superb torque and Hp for its size. I've tried it before and I got to say, mannnnn, that is one hell of a bike. Shut up on KTM. If you don't believe in KTM, try swapping to dirt bike and you'll suddenly crave for one of theirs

Why would someone who is statisfied with his bike brag on the internet? >MY BIKE IS SO RELIABLE I HAVE TO OPEN A THREAD ON IT >I NEVER HAD A PROBLEM SO I NEED TO OPEN A THREAD ON IT
