I have been lucky enough to borrow the new 2019 KTM Super Duke GT for a couple of weeks. Its an incredible bike but is it just as crazy as the 1290 Super Duke R or a watered down luggage loader?

Hi Chops, I got my 2020 GT nearly a year ago after watching this review more than I needed and test riding lots of different bikes. The first thing my 3 year old asked me when I got my bike home was “ is lamb chops coming to ride it”? . Now a year later he had named his toy motorbike lamb chops. Thanks for your good work, keep it up mate👍

You know my opinion. The SDGT is the best bike in the world if you have sporty touring in mind

I’ve got a 2016 model with 32k miles on it and kept outside. Still looks like new apart from some very minor rust on a couple of bolts. The fit and finish is superb. What a machine. Pulse racing one minute and relaxing the next. A touch heavy on tyres though!

I've got a '17 from new. The '19s engine mapping and suspension software upgrades are available for the earlier models and I've had mine done. The upgrades rectify the only complaints I had with mine. I honestly cannot see a better bike on the market. Sports bike handling with tourer comfort and range. If I change mine it will only be for another GT.

After a lifetime of riding sportsbikes I have decided to go the sport tourer route and had shortlisted the S1000XR, Z1000SX and Tracer 900Gt as my top 3 in that order. I had never even thought of KTM but have to say the 1290GT seems to tick all the boxes for me, love the styling, all the goodies and the luggage system.....its definatly top of my list now of sport tourer to view and test ride

@Sion_Jones 5 лет назад

I think it's a looker by KTM standards. I'm not usually a fan of the KTM looks. Versatility is definitely a winner for me these days. I need a bike that can commute 100 miles a day, be some fun on the weekend, tour and carry lots. Might have to pop to the dealers and see one in the flesh.

@Morpheuus88 5 лет назад

I have the older model with nearly 50.000km and is bloody awesome. With the electronic updates it actually gets a lot of stuff from the 2.0 version. Only thing missing are TFT dash, LED lights, blipper and keyless You can order the handguards as spares and run them on the older model. As in Italy any bike that is not a BMW GS with over 30.000km is considered junk I'm keeping mine for a while

@Killswitch-ON 3 года назад

Hi mate, i think the vehicle market is dirty, do to manufacturers overproduction, pressure of new models etc. If you love your bike and you know what you have, don't care to resell. I owned a VFR800 with 38000 km on it, and i sold her bcs of high milage (though than). Now i know people in UK had same bike for commuting 7 years and he rode 300000 km without a single problem on the bike. Today i have an ZZR1400, its stupendous bike, no reason to sell up.

This is a good review, especially the analysis of the ergos and the display. I just bought a 2020 GT and take delivery next month. Coming from a BMW S1000XR, which I really love so I have misgivings about going from an inline four to a V-twin. This review allayed that worry.

I had the 2016 SDGT for about 3 years now. Around 30,000 km. I love how much torque it has and how much it can carry. I don't like how "rough" it is, especially under 5,000 rpm and *especially* in the first 5 minutes after a cold start. If I'm not careful, it would stall on deacceleration. I also didn't like the pain in the ass on doing the valve adjustment myself, but I think all modern bikes are like that. I'm eyeing the Kawasaki H2SX now (the SE+ version). But I could see myself keeping the KTM since overall it's still a great bike.

It also can be set up to emit a continuous light similar to that of the rear light on your motorbike whilst shining brighter if you are decelerating in addition it can be set up as a strobe/ continuous warning light as well.

The track pack is a £300 optional extra. The front looks great. It’s not as aggressive to ride as the R even though it’s fast. I test rode the R after buying this model GT and was disappointed mine wasn’t as aggressive. Next time I’ll but the R but the heated seat, grips, fuel range is a lot to give up.

@rleon8339 3 года назад

I have a BMW 1200 GS and added super duke GT. I took the bags off day one, not sure where they are. To me, it's an all-out sport bike, just more comfortable than the R. The GS and GT are a perfect combo. GS for touring and some adventure. The GT for balls to the walls thrills! I call it my "HOLY SHIT" bike. I am 148 pounds so you can imagine how it screams. It's comfortable but after a few hours I am spent. I mean, how long can you stay on a roller coaster!

@eyeballs50 5 лет назад

coming off my Kawi Concours, I tested a KTM..wind protection lacking for a GT bike especially for Ontario Canada or other colder climates. Cruising at 100km/h you had to be in 3rd or 4th gear to get the roll on grunt that the Kawi has in 6th gear. KTM mechanic said most buyers swap out the front sprocket to increase the RPM..not sure if that affects the speedo. I was looking for a lighter bike but for the cost to get the weight savings and the aforementioned compromises, I decide to go with a new FJR1300 instead for about C$7000 less out the door.

@Texarmageddon 5 лет назад

To be honest if you picked up a FJR the SDGT probably wasn’t the bike for you. I’ve seen the FJR scrape pegs fairly easy in turns.

@MrPtholt 5 лет назад

I test rode this last month and agree with most of your comments chops, brakes good, engine great, keyless worked fine, quick shifter works fine (then again so does my 790 one and you seemed to have problems there iirc), dash is great and had no problems with blurring at speed (i think the person who commented on blurry screens may be mixing up camera wobble/focus with blurry screen?). im only 5ft 7in and it fit me pretty much perfectly, am only just on the balls of my feet both sides (29 inch leg), the one thing that did surprise me was the one you rode was a lout louder and more burbly (is that even a word?) than the one i test rode which i found was woefully quiet and would need to be addressed asap, I don't understand how yours was much better, mic near the end can? I got the impression it was a great all rounder, it scratches, it shifts, it commutes, it tours, its a great all round bike to do everything really well. I found myself riding the gt less of a hooligan than i do on my 790 - maybe due to me being lazy and riding the torque wave, my 790 seems to constantly tease me into spanking it, it even encourages it and enjoys being spanked. The 790 is like a naughty little girl friend that goads you, teases you into doing naughty things to it, on the gt, i found myself much more controlled, much more "missionary" I found it was more of a "wife" dare i say a partner.

@maximussmirnoff 5 лет назад

Rode it this March and then took for a second round in April. Beautiful bike but here are some cons I found, after owning k1300s for 9 years: quickshifter changes gears waaay too rough. Most of the time it makes noise when changing that makes me think that the quickshifter sooner or later brakes the gearbox. Too clunky. However, downshifting makes it sweeeet. Sometimes when thrashing the bike hell of quickshifter fails to work at all. Mirror are too close to your head so you will have to twist your neck quite often. Engine produces so much heat that can warm up some tiny European country in winter. Changing the power mode or the suspension preload takes a while even if you know exactly where the required settings are. It's too deep in the menu. As you mentioned there is a barely noticeable difference between Sport suspension and Comfort one. I would like to have comfort softer and Sport harder. The seat is too hard for a tourer. Needs to be changed. Just my thoughts. But anyway, my k1300s has to go so I ordered SDGT :D

Test rode this bike and thought it was awesome. However, I decided not trade my 2013 990 SMT for it. My problem with most new bikes, is that we have reached a point where all the improvements over the precedent generation is through the electronics. I won't dismiss the electronics and all the good things they bring to motorcycling... BUT, I work on my own bikes, all maintenance and mods are done by myself in my garage. Electronics are an absolute NIGHTMARE for someone like me. I like to keep my bikes MINT, so going to the dealership each time I want to adjust something would ruin me, let along all the times where i would be disappointed by some botched job. Also, almost every time I had a problem with a bike was because of some electronic trouble, so I like to keep my bikes simple. If you go to the dealership for maintenance, and have the money for it, then newer bikes are awesome. But guys like me will have to keep their older bikes forever from now on I guess...

tried this and the h2 sx and loved the ktm but the sx felt a bit big and didn't seem to do the bends as good , bought a new mt10 instead not so many extras i know but 5 grand cheaper and more fun as long as you keep filling her up lol if i was doing more trips i would have got the ktm

Having had one for two years, the stock screen is poor even at the highest setting. It isn’t fair to say you could sit at 100mph on the motorway because you can’t you’d be deaf and exhausted. The Puig screen makes things a little better.

Hey Chops, SideShow here from the states. Great stuff man! I got to ride one when I was in Texas for the Moto GP races and I’m really on the fence about trading my 2015 SDR in for the Gt. I do a lot of cross country road trips on the beast. The built in side bags would be sweet! Thanks for the vid. You u said your getting another SDR, what year?

Great review of as awesome bike! Recently test ride the 2019 but then my local dealer got in four 0 mile 2017 SDGTs. Selling the ‘17’s for $14000 with bags. Oh decisions decisions... Peace!

I have a multi 1260 pikes peak and had it two years, great bike. You have ridden both is it as good do you think for back Road fun and occasional tour

Great review again. My gloves torn to bits what’s the ones you’ve got. Gloves Look great LCR unlike the GT...

HI Mr Chops, I am in the market for a SD can't decide R or GT. I've had a go on my mates GT fitted like a glove I'm 6' '0" . My heart says R my head says GT. I plan to tour Europe one day so the panniers, 24lt tank USB's and all the other little refinements will come in handy. It will be my only bike, do I go for Claudia Schiffer or Claudia Winkleman 🤔 I'm 59 next month I keep telling myself that my biking days are numbered my present bike is a 2015 no frills blade.

KTM needs to make a v-twin 1090 version of this bike. Don't need 180 hp on the streets.

I have taken the superduke for a test ride and i noticed that the footpegs vibrated quite a lot and I am worried about this happening on the Gt...might not be very confortable on long trips. Is it any bettee on the GT? Thanks a lot and great vid bu the way!
