Test riding the KTM 1290R SuperDuke …
I’m seldom short of words, but I struggle to come up with superlatives strong enough to describe the beast.
Not because it’s fast and powerfull, because that’s obvious on a 180 hp bike, but because it’s so smooth for a big twin, and so very easy to ride very very fast on twisty back roads. Clever electronics makes it easy to tame the bike (that is: prevent it from constantly trying to kill you), and you just launch it, point and shoot, and have massive amounts of fun.
I reluctantly gave it back to the dealer: For me this bike is not compatible with long term drivers license ownership !!!
New sticker for the license plate …
I’m probably not completely unbiased here, but I’ll claim that the BoosterPlug outperforms 90% of all Power Commander installations !!!
The Power Commander is not a bad device, but with so many adjustment combinations, the Power Commanders is not easy to set up correct – and most of them never are !!!
