I test ride and review the 2023 KTM 1290 Super Duke GT sport touring motorcycle. I ride the bike around town and give my first impressions on how it rides.

This bike is similar to the KTM Super Duke R. The GT version is more of a sport touring model, featuring a more ergonomic seating position and more touring amenities. The horsepower numbers are very similar between the two bikes. I compare this to the Kawasaki Versys 1000 SE LT and the Harley Davidson Pan America 1250 touring motorcycles.

This is not a beginner motorcycle by any means. The motorcycle should be ridden by a more experienced rider.
