Speaker A
They've given me a whole host of upgrades for it. Load of accessories, exhaust, I've got loads of new gear they've given me. I'm well excited. So, we're going to get it fitted and then go for some shredding. Let's get back home.
Speaker A
Immediately. Right, we're back at HQ and like I said, KTM sent me loads of cool stuff. Got this pro mat look for the workshop.
Speaker A
So pro. I will like this. Look. Get that down. Then I got sent this which I'm stoked about. It's like a pro sort of stand thing. These are the bits that go on the back.
Speaker A
Let's try it. Wow. This is such a quick mod. Oh, we're so pro. Look. Oh, yeah. And that's how I... Oh, yeah. 'Cause look, they did give me another sprocket.
Speaker A
And I didn't know how I'd fit it, but with that stand, I could actually get the back wheel off. Next up, we got loads of little fun bits. This is a little oil cap in orange. So, we're going to take out the old one.
Speaker A
Ooh, that's well good. I'm tuning. I'm so pumped. I'm a motorcycle modder now. So, I got a load of different things actually to fit. We got the Remus exhaust. That's what I'm most excited about. Uh, we got some fresh bars like a
Speaker A
brake reservoir cover, some nice side covers for like the clutch plate and stuff like that. It's going to be cool.
Speaker A
Actually, this is pretty sick. It's a... Well, well, we'll fit it now. This is the fuel cap. This is like a pro one.
Speaker A
So, you don't need your key to open it. Yeah, 'cause that's a faf, isn't it?
Speaker A
Really? When you're like rushing to get out on the track, you don't want to be dealing with that. The track, i.e. the streets that you're going to break the law.
Speaker A
Right. We've got that off. Then it's time for this. So, this one goes on here like that.
Speaker A
We line them up. Drop in our fresh bolts. Cool. So, we've modded the fuel tank. Yeah, that's really good. I actually love that. Next up, just in case you forgot and you're on a KTM, I've got some orange bars
Speaker A
to match. Look, we're going to be totally... It's actually an incredible thing to just be given all this stuff by KTM. I still can't believe it. So, thank you very much. So, let's get on these fresh bars. We'll just whip all this
Speaker A
stuff off quick. So stoked, isn't it? All of the stuff came in German, so I just have to work it out. But this is the pad hinton.
Speaker A
Yeah. Look at these nice fresh bar ends to put on bit of that. Oh, but there's no cut. We got this cool cap here for the brake fluid. Next up, we got this protective casing that goes over here.
Speaker A
So when, when or if I slam, we don't completely destroy the bike. There we go. Special casing fitted. That's cool.
Speaker A
Same thing now for the other side. We're just going to magic it on quick. Like that. See? Ramen shorts. Ramen is frame frame protection kit. Cool. There we go.
Speaker A
I actually ordered this myself because I couldn't bear to ride around with that huge plank of like boarding on the back of it. How can it be that far from the back? So, I've ordered a tail tidy, which means the number plate will sit up
Speaker A
about here. I also ordered a tiny number plate online, so that will be here in the next few days. But for now, we'll get this on and make the bike look literally a thousand times better than having that thing on there. That's well
Speaker A
tidy. So, the new exhaust has this as the sort of back box. So, we're just going to take off the existing one and then we'll have the new pipe sat about here, which will look much better.
Speaker A
There's only like three bolts. It's going to be well quick. Look. Oh [groaning] why is this?
Speaker A
Thank you. That was such a palava just for that. It's exhaust time. Let's wedge that on.
Speaker A
Yes. Easy. There we go. Straight in. There we go. Does look sick with that pipe on there.
Speaker A
It's the next morning and with a few more bits arrived. Thanks to Amazon, we can fit the bar ends and get that going.
Speaker A
And I also got my tiny number plate. Look. Get rid of that hu this massive diving board. Don't need that on there.
Speaker A
Look how much better the small one's going to look. So, that's the first thing we're going to put on. Now, another little mod is this, which I believe is for the coolant here. Whip that off.
Speaker A
Oh. Oh, yeah. That's really... And it fits perfectly with KTM logo in the right position. I really like that. Amazon bar ends. Final mod before we shred is this cool anodized sort of orange chain ring. Ooh.
Speaker A
All right. Oh, wow. That's heavy. Old sprocket off. Oh, yeah. That's way lighter. So much performance in one piece of metal. There we go. The bike's complete. All the mods have been fitted. It's looking insanely sick. That's not the end. We've got to
Speaker A
give it a little test now we've done it. And I've got all new gear. Let me meet you over there at the riding spot. We'll look at what I've got and then wind some throttle. We're out on the streets and
Speaker A
I'm all geared up. They've given me like this awesome selection of sort of cash riding gear. Like these are padded jeans. We got KTM shoes, KTM top. These are like padded as well. They also hooked me up with an ARO helmet here.
Speaker A
Super sick. KTM goggles. I got KTM gloves. I'm so factory right now. I... this is literally mind-blowing. I can't even believe it. Having grown up with motorbikes to then be given all of this by KTM is just mind-blowing. So, thank
Speaker A
you very much. We got a lot of cool stuff planned. But today, now we've fitted the new stuff. We're just going to do a few little laps around my local area just to make sure it all works as
Speaker A
the finale of the video. [music] You shake that. [music] I know these throw some cash on you. Blow a... Let's just do like a raw ride. Yeah, I'll just ride a bit. I don't need to say anything. Bike can do the talking.
Speaker A
Get it on. KTM SMC R 390. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Just made it back from that first sesh.
Speaker A
I want to see if I can do a donut on this thing just for a laugh.
Speaker A
Yeah. Heat. That's so fun. What a machine. Endless excitement is coming up. Like I said, we're going to do some sort of teaching sessions or I get taught to ride this properly. Uh, we want to do some races.
Speaker A
We're going to rent a go-kart track to actually have a real track to go on and get the knee down legally and stuff like that. So, I'm really excited. That was the dream. It's just the dream. KTM, thank you very much. If you guys have
Speaker A
got any cool ideas of stuff you want to see on this bike, let me know. We'll try and get it done. See you in the next one.
