Ilove the superduke r 1290 handling and performance leaves the rest for dead, my only gripe is the lack of a good Scottish Ktm dealer we have Drysdales motorcycles perth who are a joke and not fit to have the ktm sign above the door

Never mind all the road reports and track tests this bike is just awesome in every respect for real world use. You can do it all with the 1290 SDR

The best all-rounder on the market I think. Its a super bike when you want speed, its a comfortable when you want a tourer and an absolute animal when you want to be a hooligan! Oh and it sounds amazing too!!!

I ride every day. I'm not a weekend warrior or fair weather rider. I have only owned my 1290 since July so here's the verdict so far. I love it!!! It's comfortable, it handles, the electronics split the bike 50/50. Experienced riders will get more out of this bike. the TCS and sport map give unbelievable acceleration and torque, the electronic fuelling is spot on. With all aids active it's a very civilised machine but turn off the TCS and it transforms the bike to what you see on the videos. KTM have absolutely nailed the power and delivery, looks and reliability. I alway walk away from the bike and admire it for what it is, a beautifully designed and well thought out motorcycle. No regrets.

I've had sports bikes in my past and never have I enjoyed everything about a bike so much. The sound of the V twin and Aka exhaust, speed and agility are 10/10. I have the biggest smile on my face every time I start it up and throw a leg over. Love it!!! .
