A KTM 1290 Super Duke R foi apresentada em 2014 como sucessora da 990 Super Duke, ganhando o apelido de 'The Beast' por seu desempenho e caráter agressivos. Ele passou por atualizações significativas em 2017 com eletrônica e ergonomia aprimoradas e recebeu uma grande reformulação em 2020, com nova geometria de estrutura de treliça, tela TFT e recursos auxiliares aprimorados, incluindo ABS em curvas sensível a ângulos de inclinação e controle de tração. Ela continua sendo uma das hiperbicicletas nuas mais poderosas e tecnologicamente avançadas em produção, constantemente elogiada por seu fornecimento de potência brutal e chassi compatível com esteiras.

O que os compradores devem saber
Watch the Fuel Pump
Early 2014-2016 models had known fuel pump failure issues that could leave you stranded. Always verify service history and ask if the fuel pump has been inspected or replaced.
Steep Depreciation Curve
The Super Duke 1290 depreciates aggressively in the first 2-3 years, making used examples excellent value. A 3-year-old bike can often be found for 40-50% less than new MSRP.
Advanced Electronics Package
The bike features cornering ABS, multiple riding modes, and traction control as standard — tech that rivals bikes costing significantly more. However, the electronic throttle system can occasionally require dealer recalibration.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"The wildest, most rewarding naked bike money can buy used."
$11,000-$17,000 usedThe Super Duke 1290 is one of those bikes that'll either make you a convert or scare you straight back to something sensible. That 1301cc V-twin makes stupid amounts of torque — we're talking wheelie-in-third-gear territory if you're not paying attention. On the used market you're typically looking at 2020-2023 examples, and the later bikes got proper cornering ABS and traction control that actually works rather than just cutting in like a kill switch. What you need to check religiously: WP suspension linkage bearings wear out, especially on bikes that've seen track days. Pump the forks, check for stiction. The throttle-by-wire system occasionally throws fits — look for any ECU warning history. Also, these things eat rear tyres embarrassingly fast. Ask the seller when the last set went on and factor replacement cost into your offer. Running costs are higher than a Japanese litre bike, no question. Service intervals are 9,300 miles but the bills sting. Buy one because you want the most viscerally exciting naked on the road, not because it makes financial sense.
