You feel the road under you and the map unfold ahead—this bike makes long days and tight twisties feel like the same, thrilling ride. The 1290 Super Duke GT pairs brutal V‑twin shove with touring comfort so you actually want to ride farther.

The 2017 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT is a sport-touring motorcycle for riders who demand superbike performance on canyon roads and confidence on long highway runs. You get a torque-rich 1301cc V‑twin, upright ergonomics, and rider aids that keep things composed whether you’re carving or covering miles.

Key features & benefits:
- 1301cc V‑twin engine: massive midrange torque gives instant roll-on power for passing and carving without constant gear changes.
- Tunable suspension: adjustable setup so you can firm it up for spirited canyon work or soften it for two-up comfort on longer trips.
- Advanced electronics: selectable ride modes, traction control and ABS help you manage grip and stability in variable conditions.
- Touring ergonomics and wind protection: a rider-forward fit with a protective screen and a comfortable seat keeps you fresh after hours in the saddle.
- Luggage-ready chassis and fueling range: built to accept hard luggage and designed for mile-eating days between fill-ups, so you can head farther without compromise.
- Strong braking package: powerful radial-style front brakes deliver predictable stopping power when you need it most.

This 1290 Super Duke GT is built for the Reno-Tahoe roads you ride: blast up Mount Rose Highway, hustle Geiger Grade, or thread through downtown Reno and Midtown with authority. Take a weekend loop to Lake Tahoe or explore the foothills out of Carson City — it eats up highway miles and corners the same. Our Carson City location is just 30 minutes from Reno, and our team can handle setup, gear selection, and maintenance so the bike is ready for every local road.

If you want sportbike excitement with real touring capability, this KTM delivers both without excuses. Stop by our Carson City showroom to sit on one, schedule a test ride, or call to reserve it — we’ll help set it up to your taste.
