KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.

The CBR600F remains just under the magic 10,000 mark and certainly doesn't disgrace Honda's mid-range. For a modest 520 euro surcharge until the end of May, it also comes with a tempting additional package consisting of a dark-tinted windshield, painted pillion seat and rear wheel cover, tank cap decor, tank pad and crankcase decor set.
