Introducingthe 2023 KTM 1290 Super Duke R. Sitting at the very top of the hyper-naked food chain, boasting a menacing collection of high-performance chassis and engine specifications, as well as top-shelf rider enhancements and electronics, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R needs no introduction. But we gave it one anyway.
The890 engine is about as good as a p twin can get, esp after an intake and tune. The Duke is significantly sharper and peppier than my adventure, and is just as nimble as they come. The 1290r is just a different thing, man. I've had hayabusa's, r1's, an ebr 1190, z1000, etc. NOTHING feels like a 1290 sdr.
