The KTM 1290 Super Duke R is our featured bike this week, a figurehead KTM model that certainly packs a peerless punch out on the open road.
The Super Duke is long established amongst the most powerful and sports orientated bikes in the naked sector, but the revamped 1290 R model has certainly propelled it into a market leading position over the past few years.
Like its predecessors, the 2017 model is uniquely robust and built with power and speed in mind, delivering emphatically on both fronts. The new V-twin engine is one of the most formidable ever to power a street bike, boasting a liquid cooled 2-cylinder, 4-stroke system that typifies the sheer muscle and precise efficiency of this model.
Aptly nicknamed ‘The Beast’ amongst KTM enthusiasts, the 1290 R manages to exceed the much celebrated 170bhp output offered by previous models, clocking an aggressive 177 top horsepower with consummate ease. In all conditions, this is a thoroughbred motorcycle with the capacity to conquer the tightest corner or longest straight.
In addition to a sophisticated electronics package, modern features include the contactless ignition system (with complete timing adjustment) and an innovative liquid cooling system that offers continuous circulation through a water pump system.
This brand-new model comes with bodywork and tyres in immaculate condition and is available for £13,999 with finance options available. In store now, the 1290 Super Duke R can be secured today with a deposit of just £100.
