It’s official! KTM had let the beast out of the cage, now they’ve let the cat out of the bag, announcing the price of their heart-stopping 1290 Super Duke R for the Indian market. The flagship KTM street-fighter is set to burn a hole in your pocket by a whopping price tag of 18.3 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune).
The 1290 Super Duke R packs a 1,301cc V-twin engine which makes 180 PS and 144 Nm of torque, and weighs just 189 kg. A 0-200 km/h time of 7.2 seconds makes it the fastest, street-legal mass production motorcycle presently on sale on planet Earth.
The KTM 1290 Super Duke R is one incredible asphalt-shredder, one with the ability to make an impression in an instant. It’s raw and beastly to look at, with the power to match.
