KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021

The KTM Super Duke R has evolved perfectly over the generations: The engine is strong, has a huge amount of torque and in the current version also works excellently from low revs. However, the excellent interaction of all components is responsible for the overall wonderful performance of the big Duke. The active seating position is comfortable and unbelievably driving-friendly, the chassis is of a high standard, the brakes are powerful and the electronics are state of the art. Even the looks are now pleasing more and more critics. It's just a shame that you have to pay extra for the ingenious shift assistant with blipper.

wonderfully powerful engine with a lot of bang - especially from below and in the middle

super-agile and comfortable seating position

decent braking power

stable chassis, fully adjustable

comprehensive electronics package

In addition to its super-sporty appearance, which is strongly based on that of the Fireblade, it is above all its sovereignty and versatility that make it a tough competitor on the road with models with more prestige or more performance. It is as much a super sports bike as a faithful companion in everyday life. The visible and tangible Honda quality conveys to the owner that he will have a long, carefree life with the CBR650F.
