Naked bike fans… feast your eyes on this.
KTM have kicked off the new year with a bang, unveiling the hotly anticipated 1290 SUPER DUKE R 2020 in this full throttle video.
What’s new?
Having shed its skin, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R is now a leaner, meaner and an even more menacing hyper-naked bike than ever before. Mounted into an all-new chassis, beats an updated version of the renowned 75 degree, 1301 cc LC8, V-Twin heart, taking THE BEAST to the next level.
Who should ride it?
THE BEAST dominates on the street and the track.
This is a potent motorcycle with equal parts power and comfort. Commute to work in the week. Crush the competition on the weekend.
