KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2016

KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2016

With generous standard equipment, a retuned engine and unmistakably edgy KTM design, the 1290 Super Duke GT aims to enter the sport touring segment. With rideable performance and the full power of the naked bike in the spirit of the "Ready-to-Race" credo, it stands out from the competition not only visually. The mattighofen sports fanatics even fit heated grips and cruise control to offer frequent riders a nice spot. Somehow they still manage to remain credible and to trigger storms of enthusiasm in the rider.

BMW K 1600 GT 2020

BMW K 1600 GT 2020

Extremely cultivated straight-six engine with huge torque and plenty of power - but without any willingness to use force, simply a power unit of the highest sovereignty. Agile and nimble despite a live weight of 339 kg (fully fuelled). With Dynamic ESA, DTC, ABS Pro and shift assist, it is sporty and safe to drive.

Pleasant, completely relaxed seating position

excellent electronics from traction control to semi-active suspension

ABS Pro

shift assistant

much sportier to drive than the dimensions suggest.

Cockpit already looks a little outdated in contrast to the built-in technology
