BMW M 1000 RR: The perfected supersport icon The BMW M 1000 RR is the quintessence of a supersports bike. It is as sharp as a razor, with a stability and precision that will amaze even the most experienced riders. Direct from the showroom to the race track, without having to spend a single cent on additional modifications - this is pure perfection. Every bend, every braking manoeuvre, every acceleration is a testament to German engineering. On the straights, it pulls away like a jet, and every movement feels as precise as if you were operating a surgical instrument.

KTM knows no turning back and KTM knows no quarter. That's why the new 1290 Super Duke R is a little easier to handle than its predecessor, but also a little stronger and faster. Already at 2500 rpm, over 100 Nm are available, the maximum is 141, the top performance is stated at 177 hp. That may be too much, but it doesn't have to be. The electronics remain the lifeline in this category, where development continues to move forward strongly. KTM has started where it had difficulties and that was stability. Changes to the geometry and chassis have improved this significantly, making the ride on the beast not only faster, but also safer. The handling is no less radical for that, and the supermoto genes are more evident than on any other naked bike. There can only be one Super Duke.
