Ktm Super Duke R 1390
The KTM 1390 Super Duke R was introduced in 2024 as the successor to the 1290 Super Duke R, featuring a new 1350cc LC8 V-twin engine and significantly updated chassis and electronics. It builds on the Super Duke lineage that began in 2005, earning the nickname 'The Beast' for its aggressive power and handling characteristics. The 1390 represents the most refined and powerful iteration yet, with advanced cornering ABS, lean-angle sensitive traction control, and a fully adjustable WP APEX suspension package.

What Buyers Should Know
New 1390cc Twin Engine
The 2024 Super Duke R 1390 debuts a brand-new 1350cc (marketed as 1390) parallel twin producing ~180hp, replacing the previous V-twin. Early reliability data is still emerging, so buying used means watching for first-year teething issues.
KTM Resale Watch
KTM's 2025 financial difficulties and dealer network instability have softened resale values on new models, making used examples negotiable but also raising concerns about long-term parts and warranty support.
Aggressive Service Intervals
KTM recommends oil changes every 9,000 miles, but many experienced owners service at 6,000 miles due to the high-stress nature of the engine. Always verify full service history before purchasing.
