KTM 1290 Super Duke R був представлений у 2014 році як наступник 990 Super Duke, отримав прізвисько «Звіра» за свою агресивну потужність та характеристики керованості. Він отримав значні оновлення в 2017 році з покращеною електронікою та ергономікою, а серйозний редизайн у 2020 році приніс нову раму, напівактивну підвіску WP APEX та оновлену аеродинаміку. Він широко вважається одним з найбільш екстремальних і вісцеральних оголених гіперголих мотоциклів, коли-небудь вироблених, поєднуючи продуктивність супербайка з агресією вуличних винищувачів.

Що повинні знати покупці
Watch the WP Suspension
Early 2014-2016 models had known issues with WP fork seals leaking prematurely. Always inspect the forks carefully and budget for a potential fork service if buying used.
Steep Depreciation Curve
The 1290 Super Duke R depreciates quickly in the first 2-3 years, making used examples excellent value. A 3-year-old bike often sells for 40-50% less than new while retaining full performance.
Cornering ABS Standard
From 2017 onward, the bike features Bosch Cornering ABS and traction control with multiple ride modes, a premium safety suite that was ahead of its class and adds real-world riding confidence.

"The ultimate naked bike — if your wallet and skill match its ambition."
$9,000-$14,500 usedThe 1290 Super Duke R is KTM's most unhinged street weapon, and buying one used means someone else already absorbed the steep depreciation hit. The LC8 V-twin is genuinely spectacular — 177hp that builds in a linear, addictive surge rather than a sudden slap. Handling is razor-sharp, the WP semi-active suspension on later models transforms the ride quality, and the brakes are Brembo gold standard. This thing will embarrass superbikes on a twisty road. Here's the honest part though: these bikes eat owners alive on running costs. The service intervals are expensive, the throttle-by-wire and electronics suite mean dealer diagnostics when things go wrong, and things do go wrong. Check frame sliders are fitted — naked bikes get dropped. Avoid pre-2017 examples if possible; KTM sorted several reliability gremlins in the Gen2 refresh. Inspect the swingarm bearings, check for crash damage on the subframe, and pull the service history. Without it, walk away.
