Description
Click here for a VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 2019 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
Introduced in 2014, the Super Duke R was a whirlwind of torque, power, and sound that could only be concocted by the minds of the engineers at KTM. The SDR was a supernaked bike with incredible performance, combining the best of both a supersport and a naked bike to create what KTM nicknamed “The Beast”.
2017 was the first significant revision, which brought a powerful engine, updated suspension and ergonomics, and advancements to the electronics. The lunacy started with the V-Twin engine, which produced a claimed 177hp and 104lb-ft of torque — the most powerful production LC8 engine KTM had built up to that point.
From this iconic motorcycle came the Super Duke GT, a sport-touring model that allowed riders to churn through miles of road at speed. The GT came with a full touring package, which included heated grips, cruise control, as well as adaptive suspension that would automatically adjust according to passenger load. The bike also came with an adjustable windscreen and hard bags (for an additional cost from KTM). As KTM put it, “Think of the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT as a comfortable ballistic missile.”
Slowing the bike down were a set of Brembo brakes that provided the necessary stopping power needed for such a motorcycle. The suspension paired with this bucking bronco was a WP fully adjustable suspension system.
