Only In the black of course!The 2020 paint makes the bike a little faster.
Hi Stu and welcome!Morning guys. Just joined as my 2020 gets delivered on Saturday.
FYI KTM have just launched a new offer so the 2020 is now 7500 brand new. I just got 500 cashback yesterday as I’d smashed em down from 9k!!(I know) to 8000.
cheers. Stu.
Ah thanks mate!! I’m proper excited for the first time in years after the test ride last week. What a riot!!! Come from a bloody vfr800! Haha what a swap!Hi Stu and welcome!
Yeah I saw that offer which was the reason for this thread. But probably not worth me updating from my 2018 just for the paint!
Good luck for Saturday and have fun running in!

Yes there is a rev limiter and the limit is increased usually on the first service. But you’ll have plenty to play with and running in is about progressively increasing the load on not onlyI don't think you can rev it out before 1st service as there is a limiter activated.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought it kicked in automatically, being mileage dependent, around 620 miles?Yes there is a rev limiter and the limit is increased usually on the first service. But you’ll have plenty to play with and running in is about progressively increasing the load on not only
the engine but the brakes, chassis, and tyres. It’s a good way of getting acquainted!
Correct - it isn't an actual limit - you can go as high as you want but the dash display rises from 6500rpm to 9000rpm automatically - not from a service update.Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought it kicked in automatically, being mileage dependent, around 620 miles?

Yet another thing I didn’t know! So you can actually rev the nuts off it from day one if your heart so desires?!!!Correct - it isn't an actual limit - you can go as high as you want but the dash display rises from 6500rpm to 9000rpm automatically - not from a service update.
Running in is a grey area. Ive heard of people putting brand new bikes on the dyno, as in full power runs, tunes whatever and the bikes fine.Ah thanks mate!! I’m proper excited for the first time in years after the test ride last week. What a riot!!! Come from a bloody vfr800! Haha what a swap!
Definitely not worth the extra for the swap IMO. I wanted th 2019 but they sold it before I got there! So did me a deal. SMC Sheffield have been brilliant.
YES! Running in advice please.
is it generally rev it out but with light power?
cheers.
Actually the model year for your bike is correct even if it was manufactured before the actual year even started! The MY refers to the actual specific specifications that the bike is built to and all manufacturers start producing these new models well in advance in order to meet anticipated demand. It also usually gives them plenty of time to try and off load last years model!If worth, I purchased a "2020" 790 duke last week, with the new black & oange wheels color scheme (loving it BTW). To me, is exactly the same bike (riden a 2018 from a friend) . And I put the year between quotes because my bike was manufactured in Austria October 2019.. so.. not truly a 2020 (although they sold it to me as a year 2020 model)
Good point! Thanks for the feedback.Actually the model year for your bike is correct even if it was manufactured before the actual year even started!

Anyway just enjoy those orange wheels!
