The KTM 1290 Super Duke GT clearly focuses on sport in sport touring, but can also convince with its long-distance qualities. In the 2022 model year, among other things, the right steps were taken with the new TFT display to modernise it without losing the brutal character - which its owners appreciate. If you are looking for a true all-rounder and don't mind the looks, you can't go wrong with the KTM 1290 Super Duke GT!

For me, the Africa Twin is a touring enduro as a touring enduro should be. This was already true of the predecessor model and did not change with the increase in displacement and power. Because the latter remained manageable at 102 hp, and Honda even managed to shed a few kilos compared to the CRF1000L. So it remained versatile, functioning just as well on the motorway as off-road. The chassis absorbs almost all bumps, the engine remains sovereign in every situation, ergonomics and seating comfort are exemplary. A motorbike for all days as well as for the big trip - wherever that may be.
