2019 KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT

Meticulously looked after, mature ridden and properly serviced at VMS West Kelowna. Needs nothing. Comes with an Akropovic slip on pipe, KTM heated rider seat, Hill Hold Control, Motor Slip Regulation and almost new Dunlop Roadsmart tires. Brand new fuel pump just installed. 

The 2019 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT is one of the best motorcycles MD has ever tested. Instead of “jack of all trades” we might call it “master of all trades.” The engine performance, brake performance and handling all scream “Sport Bike”, while the finely tuned ergonomics, seat comfort, touring features and saddlebags make the “Sport Tourer” label fit perfectly. With 6.1 gallons of fuel capacity, you can also get a long way down the highway between fill-ups (and judicious use of the throttle on the highway, together with a less aggressive ignition map, will provide decent mileage).

In the end, the biggest impression left by this bike comes from the incredible engine performance and acceleration. Fuel injection mapping is superb (open the throttle at only 2,800 rpm in top gear without any hiccups), and accceleration is both viscious and controlled. Hours after leaving the saddle, the unique engine beat and effortless forward motion still haunt you (in a good way).
