The KTM 1290 Super Duke GT is one of the most exciting touring bikes ever produced, at least we think it is! With 173hp and 144Nm on tap and a RbW system that incorporates traction control, engine braking control, riding modes, cruise control, quickshifter and more, plus combined ABS and semi-active White Power suspension – it really is a weapon.

Throw in touring comfort and luggage space and you have a great package that is only 205kg dry. We recently had a quick spin on the bike and came away impressed. We should have the bike in for a full review before Spring. In the meantime check out our World Launch Report from 2016 here.
