Ktm 1290 Super Duke Gt

The Ktm 1290 Super Duke Gt has a top speed of 270 km/h (electronically limited; estimated), produces 173 hp and weighs 229 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.

La KTM 1290 Super Duke GT a été présentée en 2016 en tant qu'évolution sportive de l'agressive Super Duke R, conçue pour combiner des performances extrêmes avec des capacités sur de longues distances. Il était équipé d'un carénage complet, d'un réservoir de carburant plus grand, d'une suspension semi-active (WP APEX) et d'aides électroniques au pilotage, notamment l'ABS dans les virages et le contrôle de traction. La GT a rapidement acquis la réputation d'être l'une des voitures de tourisme sportives les plus passionnantes et les plus compétentes du marché, alliant une accélération digne d'une supervoiture à des équipements de tourisme pratiques.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

⚙️

Watch the WP Suspension

Early models (2016-2018) had reports of WP suspension linkage wear and occasional fork seal failures. Budget for an inspection or upgrade if buying used, as replacements can be costly.

📉

Steep Depreciation Curve

The 1290 Super Duke GT depreciates aggressively in its first 3 years, often losing 30-40% of MSRP. This makes a 3-5 year old used example exceptional value for a feature-packed sport tourer.

🛠️

Short Service Intervals

KTM specifies oil changes every 9,300 miles (15,000 km) and valve checks every 18,600 miles, which is more frequent than Japanese rivals. Always verify full service history before buying used.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

8.5/10
Idéal pour
Experienced riders wanting performance touring without compromise

"The sport-tourer for riders who find GS Adventures too sensible."

$11,000-$16,000 used

The 1290 Super Duke GT is KTM's attempt at a sport-tourer that doesn't apologize for being a supermoto in a suit, and honestly? It mostly works. That 1301cc V-twin is absolutely savage in the best possible way — 173 horses that never feel lazy, with a throttle response that demands respect. The WP semi-active suspension and cornering ABS genuinely earn their keep, especially on poorly-surfaced A-roads where lesser bikes would have you white-knuckling it. Buying used, you need to do your homework. Check the throttle bodies for wear, inspect the frame sliders because these get ridden hard, and verify the service history meticulously — the valve checks aren't cheap but they're critical. Pre-2019 models had some software gremlins with the electronics package that KTM eventually sorted. Budget for consumables; tyres disappear quickly on this thing. This isn't a Panigale trying to do touring. It's a predator with panniers, and that's exactly why people love it. Live with the firm ergonomics and marginal wind protection and you'll grin every single mile.
