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.

KTM 1290 सुपर ड्यूक GT को 2016 में आक्रामक सुपर ड्यूक R के स्पोर्ट-टूरिंग इवोल्यूशन के रूप में पेश किया गया था, जिसे लंबी दूरी की क्षमता के साथ चरम प्रदर्शन को जोड़ने के लिए डिज़ाइन किया गया था। इसमें फुल फेयरिंग, बड़ा फ्यूल टैंक, सेमी-एक्टिव सस्पेंशन (WP APEX), और कॉर्नरिंग ABS और ट्रैक्शन कंट्रोल सहित इलेक्ट्रॉनिक राइडर एड्स शामिल थे। GT ने जल्दी ही बाजार के सबसे रोमांचक और सक्षम स्पोर्ट-टूरर्स में से एक के रूप में ख्याति अर्जित की, जिसमें सुपरकार-प्रतिद्वंद्वी एक्सेलेरेशन को व्यावहारिक टूरिंग सुविधाओं के साथ मिश्रित किया गया।

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.

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.
