Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019

The KTM is and remains the most brutal naked bike on the market. The upright riding position in combination with the wild V2 power make it look more brutal than it is on paper. It has been improved precisely in its biggest weak points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the quickshifter brings calm in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been upgraded. It still loves the wild chase more than high cornering speeds on long bends.

Provides the most adrenaline rush

Extensive configuration options when buying

Great brakes

Great original equipment tyres

Practical electronic features

Great seating position for tall people

Electronic features can be set very sporty and can also be deactivated.

Quickshifter nice, but a bit rough in direct comparison with other powernakeds

Tiresome to ride

Precise line not always easy to hit

The most dangerous bike on the market for the rider's licence.
