I Rode A KTM 1290 Super Duke GT | Too Sporty?

1290 Super Duke GT from KTM. I rode this bike for the first time and what a machine this is. Very much on the sporty side of motorcycle riding. So much power from the KTM 1290 LC8 engine. The 1290 Super Duke GT has a V-Twin engine with amazing power delivery in all its modes too.

I have a Harley and a ktm gt. I don’t agree at all with you. I travel 460 mile in one day to visit family on a regular basis as I live in Aberdeenshire and my family live in Nottinghamshire. It’s the best bike I’ve ever had.

[@phildiegidio4658]

Didn’t think this would cut it. Hips, knees, butt……..yeah, we are old. But glad you had a fun day.

[@mathiashammar1]

I wasn't impressed. On spec Duke GT has it all. Riding it is different. Engine feels a bit lumpy and there is no real "pull" in the acceleration , compared to MT10, Aprilia Tuono, Hayabusa. Those bikes rips your arms off at 9000rpm. Road contact is very planted. Its like riding with your ass on a skateboard. Super planted but all vibrations and harshness that comes with it. My demo bike has setup "street". Nice bike to ride for 30min. Not riding 5000km through Europe.

Try a BMW R1250R comfortable and sporty, stick panniers on and tour. Great all rounder

[@rgthomson1]

I have an SDR which is sporty and the GT which is like a touring bike when you come off the SDR, they are great bikes and so glad i went for them, even if they are big i am only 5,5 and manage fine with a mod or two, if you are thinking of one i say go for it you wont be disappointed

[@shadesshades397]

Nice bike but not for me at 61😢

[@bobhill2057]

Easy fix.... Change the rear sprocket to 42 as on the super adventure (stock rear for gt is 38) plus you have 15 more hp

[@DjVendetta]

Im about to do the same thing. I have a 2018 heritage classic with a 128. Im waiting for the new Adventure Sports Africa Twin. I’m 5’6” and the AT was out of my reach (pun intended) before but now with the 2024 model year its able to be configured to a seat height of 795mm. Which is completely doable for me.

[@richardrussell500]

No thanks... give me a cruiser with floorboards. I am not a fan of the transformer look. I don't like mid controls at my age. Knees in the breeze for me. Those bikes are for city riding only. If you put down some miles, this bike will not cut it.

[@MikaelLewisify]

So, I think you are saying it's too sporty? Would that be correct? lol

[@Motobikereviews]

I have got this bike and it's incredible!!

[@whittlad]

Got one and love it but its definitely not sluggish (mine isn’t anyway)🤘😎👍

[@joemann3536]

Nay, it is fine. I am 68 and I still ride a 2018 Kawasaki Zed 900 Naked and my new 2023 soft tail standard. stay in the wind it is the fountain of youth. that is a beast of a ride.👍

[@Motobikereviews]

Love your review. this Bike is incredible, i test ridden it. So much Torque !

[@rgthomson1]

I have an SDR and you need to ride it to understand, its fantastic, i never was taken by the front end looks but when you ride it you forget all about that

[@fentontaylor9021]

Try the new Multistrada Pikes Peak! Pricey, but after you ride one, nothing else will do.

[@debenhamdave4314]

Never ridden one but imagine the Ktms a wonderful bike. Cheers Alf.

[@joemann3536]

Have you ridden the BMW R18. ? I WAS CRUISING YOUR VIDEOS and did not see one. I may ride one in the spring 2024. Thanks

[@sathishrao7926]

When are you getting into the territory of Supercharged Nakeds and tourers ? H2 SX SE is my recommendation for you !
