KTM 1290 Super Duke... GT?

[Hazardous Waste]

KTM S/D is one bike they make that I was interested in untill I got sticker shock
It's like paying for a hooker and she shows up at your door and is ugly as all hell.
Sure she'll do anything you like, and is a hole lot of fun, but you better put the
bag on your own head.
This just looks like all KTM's

Ugly is as ugly does.

She may be ugly but she sure can cook!

Personally, I hope they leave the camo scheme on the production bike...

Personally I hope that rear wheel problem is dead and buried. One does not want a wobbly axle on a 180hp bike.

Oh shit. I just read up on this issue on a couple of forums. Dang. Not cool.

They could also lengthen the swingarm an 1" or 2", that would effectively give you more ride height and shock travel.

Ditch the cat.

Did you notice the wobbly axle on mine?

It's got a little play but hasn't gotten worse in 11k hard miles so #yolo

Also KTM's been great about supporting the usual minor teething issues on a first year bike, so all's good in my book, I knew what I was getting into.

I kinda felt that way initially, but the KTM color scheme and mega-angular look of the SDR has really grown on me. The stock can needs to go though - some aftermarket options out there really do the bike justice imo

Those bronze wheels just work, somehow.

No, but I think a few ham-fisted stoppies would have made things more noticeable.

Cool, the hooker bought some jewelry, and she raised her prices.
