Is the KTM 1290 Super Duke R too much of a bike to commute on daily?
The nickname of 'The Beast' lauds this bike for its insane power with its aggressive styling. Some riders wonder if it’s overkill for everyday use, but with 180 horsepower on tap and a torque-monster V-twin engine, that’s not a question I have to ask. Is this hyper naked bike tameable for regular commuting, or is it more of a weekend thrill and track day kind of bike? Now that we have explored how this high-performance machine works, let’s look at how practical this machine is to use as a daily rider.
After two years of commuting on my 1290 SDR, I'm surprised how versatile it is. It's got stupid power, sure, but the electronics make it manageable. On top of that, the upright riding position is traffic friendly.
