KTM Superduke 1290 GT vs R : Side By Side Comparison

[@LifeofSmokey]

Made a booboo : The suspension is different on the GT , on the GT you can set it electronically in different ride modes. On the R you have to set the suspension manually by clicks. My bad 😅🤦‍♂️.

Both bikes are great, but the gt is the better one. Still a hooligan-bike but also great as a long-distance-runner. My 2019 Gt has 22.000 km on the clock after 17 months, that tells you how much i love it!

[@themotofixery]

I'd take the GT for sure! Sound, looks, comfort. Im sold.

[@daimonmt]

Thank you so much for this real life comparison. I decided to go for the GT, getting on in years and still feel a child at heart and sometimes take the Mrs for a ride, if I had the R, I'd loose her on the first straight. Also, a bigger screen and semi active suspension are a nice add-on touch for the crap roads we have.

[@LifeofSmokey]

That’s the GT right there 😁👌

[@richardcerritelli9657]

How is the GT I'm coming from a Hayabusa so you know I need something insane but I fucked up back so I'm going to be up right is it comfortable an upright however is it still sick performance-wise. And as far as torque like low-end how is it really Torquay that's what I want

[@InsanitiesBrother]

@@richardcerritelli9657 I don't know if you pulled the trigger or not. It's a rough machine due to the V_Twin compared to an inline 4 like the busa. I would recommend giving one a test first. In regards to performance, it is all there but it's way lower down compared to the busa. You will lose the "OMG torque" feeling at about 120mph. It still pulls up to ~140ish then after that it will gain more slowly to 160ish. In my opinion it is worth it. It is a comfortable position but you will want to get a gel seat or the OEM extra heated seat.

[@nnunness1]

thanks a lot for the vid. Super Duke R - definitively.

[@MiguelTrejoMK]

I haven't ridden an R but I own a GT since some months ago. It's fast, it's a lot of fun, you can ride with your back straight, you can ride all day long and it's gorgeous. I got the Austin Racing slip-on only and it sounds great! And of course you can pack some days worth of luggage and "ride to the sunset". I'm very happy with this bike. I even get the "that's a nice bike" from people on the street. Downsides: Windshields are windshields so you get a decent amount of noise, wear plugs, problem solved. It get's noticeably hot which is still bearable if you take your legs a little bit out. Even though is so worth it. I enjoy it every second.

I bought the 2020 Super Duke GT. The decision was easy for me because i wanted a good option to carry luggage for long trips and also the bigger tank and windshield were important for me. I think the SD GT as a sports tourer is a great compromise between touring bikes like the Super Adventure and sport bikes like the Super Duke R.

[@richardkillian5657]

Great comparison video. You’ve got quite a unique sense of humour and it tickled me haha, made me laugh.

[@smoke05s]

I have a 2017 GT and a 2008 SD 990. The 990 is tricked out and weighs under 400lb dry. But surprisingly, if they have the same tires they handle nearly the same. There really is something to that active suspension. The GT is an amazing bike, handles like a sport bike but has luggage. I also have a 2009 Kawasaki Concours 14 which feels like a pig compared to the GT. It is comfortable at any lean angle, like the GT but when you push you feel the weight on the Kawasaki and it affects what line you have to take. You can go just as fast (on the street) but it takes way more know how and concentration to do it. It has only just a tad more luggage capacity and weights nearly 200 lbs more than the GT. That really puts it into perspective what a great bike the GT is.

[@cabn4321]

That’s the problem I am having right now. I have been riding my concours for 11 years and it is a straight up beast! Nobody will let me ride the GT before I buy it so I’m having a very hard time being able to compare it. The Kawasaki is just utterly reliable, comfortable and powerful. Do you miss your C-14 or is the GT that much better?

[@Kismetix]

I bought a 2020 1290 GT over the R version about two weeks ago. Making this particular purchase decision was very difficult, as I was standing there looking at both bikes side by side for the better part of an hour trying to figure it out. Finally, a 'sensible' conclusion was arrived at and the GT got the nod. The thing with the GT is at least you've got some luggage capacity (however minimal it may be), so you can can carry some extra shoes and clothes as needed. It turned out that I use those panniers all the time, so buying the R would have been a bit of a problem in my case. (I can only afford one bike, so it has to be a 'do-all' type). With 173hp from the mill, the slightly reduced power output in the GT is more than made up for by having a windscreen and some luggage capacity IMO.

[@andyorange7666]

Makes perfect sense. GT is such a good bike. Torque is addictive too, I'll never go back to an inline 4 for the road (track, yes).

[@helgejohan3604]

I agree 🔥the black and orange Superduke gt look MEAN🤙😎

[@devonbiker]

I bought a GT about 3 weeks ago used. It looks like the 2020 model (white/orange). But I've since ridden the Duke R 2020. BIG mistake for me as I loved the aggression the GT lacks. But I also love the GT looks and options. Difficult one.

[@MajorDrama1]

There actually is a very good lightweight ktm factory pannier for the Superduke R - At erasonable price by luggage standards too - I have them fitted to my SDR and they rock as superlight and super easy to connect and almost no weight to the mounting frame" (3 lugs that bolt directly to frame) so highly recommended - But having said all that...

I bought a near new 2019 GT (looks like the 2020 model) blind. As in I bought it on the internet then picked it up. I didn't gel with it straight away. It was better with a new set of tyres on. however 2 weeks later I had KTM service it. I took out the 2020 Duke R and instantly regretted buying the GT. The Duke R is more aggressive and feels faster and rides better low down and slower speeds, not as lumpy. I love the colour of the GT with orange wheels and turns whether I should keep the bike or trade in for a Duke R. Of course I will lose money doing that.

[@naranjalorange8584]

If it's a bit more aggression you're after, have the track pack installed on your GT, it will open your eyes... Still won't cure some of your other problems sadly. Also install and end can if you haven't already got one.

[@stinkinroger159]

GT would be my choice all day long. Just seems like a more rounded bike, if you're getting near enough the same engine power, it's all about the gizmos for me and the GT seems nice and practical. Nicer riding position too. I've had nothing but a vfr400 nc30 for past 10 years so I would be seeking a little more comfort in my next ride 😅 I love a single swing arm, it's just a shame that Akro can covers it a bit more as opposed to the stubby one on the R. Maybe if you removed the rear foot pegs the exhaust could be redesigned so the Akro sits more parallel to the rear fairings and show off the rims a bit more! (Just my preference if I had a say 😅)

[@darren1922]

I'd take the GT. It can do what the R does but the R can't do what the GT does.

[@galuhrichata6148]

When KTM launched the GT for the first time, I remember they said they replace the R’s subframe with a stronger & stiffer one, in order to accommodate the sidebags. Do you see any difference? And I am not talking about those slots/brackets to hold the sidebags.

Yep they look totally different. The GT has more of a long straight subframe. The R has a bend in it 😉.

[@johnbrewer8882]

I'm getting ready to purchase my next bike in January, I'm completely split between the 2020 Super Duke GT and the 2020 Ducati Multistrada Pikes Peak. I rode the Pikes Peak and it was a blast, I got a chance to sit on a 2020 GT today at a local shop, HOWEVER, I couldn't ride it because the dealer said its a process to "turn on" the bikes. Something like paperwork to request a code from KTM to "unlock" the bike and they don't want to do test drives. It definitely turned me off. However, it comes with all the features +/- some minor differences of the Multistrada, more power, less comfortable position in the footpegs, the Multistrada's riding position is closer to the KTM Adventure S, which was comfy. Maybe there is an aftermarket upgrade to correct the footpeg angle. The 2021 Multistrada is coming and will be a v4 vs a v2, will have "Adaptive Cruise control" (I've seen leaked pics of KTMs Adventure bikes having this and may come out before the Multistrada). The engine is supposed to be lighter than the V2 and will be smoother but without the V2 "grunt". It will make a slight bit more power, but I don't think enough to keep up with the Duke. I'm concerned about the reliability of both manufacturers engines, I hear Ducati services are expensive and the KTM has really only had 'phantom' trouble lights come on and the keyless system stop working requiring a battery removal to reset (not big issues, but for the price...). I could go on, and still, need to find a way to ride the duke, also not sure what all the "upgrade packs" that KTM offers are all about, to 'unlock' and improve things that should be there or free upgrades. Not sure how to feel about that, sort of like software updates on phones I guess (shrugs) but, any advice?

I'm mostly concered about my back for long distance riding. I own a MT-07 atm, I love my naked bikes. I've got 6 years of on road riding & 4 years off, i'm only 23 at the time of writing this comment. I like to rip about on my MT-07. I love to have it easily whip about as the MT is quite forgiving with the power. How forgiving are these bikes? That's also a concern of mine that i'll have to be very careful not to wheelie it to the moon everytime I accelerate hard lol I also want long distance riding upto 4-6 hours. I feel like the R wouldn't be the best option for that. What do you think?

[@LifeofSmokey]

These 160-180hp V-twin engines are not forgiving what so ever!! I love them but i only wheelie them at high speeds cause they are really powerful bikes 😁. I love the R and the GT but not for hours on riding like you mention. The Adventure S & R don't look as cool as the R or the GT. But when i took the 1290 Adventure R for a spin i was hooked! It's a comfy caddilac with almost the same power as the GT and R. I raced my buddy's Superduke R with my Super Adventure R and up to 160-170 he's going nowhere , above those speeds the R will take off of course 😁. If you have back problem a more straight up position might be better and the SAS & SAR have that 😎

@@LifeofSmokey Gotcha, yea I wouldn’t have thought they’d be very forgiving lol I like to twist my MT-07 pretty much full throttle in low gears & only go up my a foot or so in the front.

[@smoke05s]

I really got mine for my wife to ride. She normally rides a YAMAHA FZ6R. If the GT is in street mode the throttle is docile enough for her at normal speeds. You have to put it in race mode or really stretch to throttle cables to make the GT feel aggressive. It is about the same weight as the 600 yamaha and handles very solid with the adaptive suspension so the GT is actually more confidence inspiring to her. And while it will wheelie I am pretty sure it is electronically limited in some way because the wheel never goes very high. I have other bikes with less power that wheelie much more uncontrollably than the GT. Going from the MT-07 to the GT would not be difficult and you could dial in the power as you learn. Its the only bike I have with ABS and for me (since I learned without ABS ) is the only thing that bugs me. But every bike I ride with ABS bugs me so it is not something unique with this bike.

[@Near2Future]

@@smoke05s I got my 2019 SDR in April / may. Very fun to ride, had it in rain mode until I got used to it. Took it out of rain mode within a month, it’s honesty a lot easier to ride then a thought. Feels like a bigger & more aggressive MT-07 which I wanted. Wheelie control on these bikes definitely is nice a lot more control for sure. Quickshifter is also very nice but needs re programmed every so often at least mine did when I bought it. All fixed now tho, used to get jammed at 7k RPMs I’ve just installed the clear clutch cover & it looks fantastic! This bike is exactly what I wanted. Already put 5k on it since I got it 😆 not been off the thing lol I only thing that annoys me is the suspension. You need it hard for higher speeds but bumps in the road ect get you off the seat. Still trying to fix that. Over all great bike & looks great too. Just need to keep up with maintenance a bit more I’ve found out due to all the electronics.

I'd think the SDGT would be a better bike for what I do, I just prefer the SAS. I haven't tried the 2021 model yet but I reckon it will be quite a step up from mine (2018)

Thanks for the great Video! :-) One question, what do I need to attach the tomtom navigation mount to the superduke GT? Thank you!

[@MajorDrama1]

Best to run the TomTom off of the 12V socket.. Solder wires to the junctions behind the 12V socket plug receiver - In that way you have a very short distance to run wire, also the ignition controls power so no flat batteries AND you also retain the 12V socket for powering other hardware like the radar detector that you are sure to need on this weapon as well

How does the passenger fits on the two? More space in the right?

[@LifeofSmokey]

The GT has a bit wider seat so a little more comfort.

[@beljanstipan]

Love the SD, but I will buy a GT.

@@LifeofSmokey ja ken ik .denk er ook vaak over, zeker als gaat over moto thema 😂 in België ben je een crimineel als je kleine wheelie doet Iedereen moet met een fiets 5/per uur rijden met een helm en een masker 🤣🤣ps super videos op u kanaal 👍

I've got a gt so the r and the superduro to complete the madness 👍👍👍👍😁😁😁

[@USAinMind]

How are the handlebars different? They have barkbusters for the R, but not for the GT?

Hello, I am hesitating between buying the Superduke r EVO 2022 or the GT. Aesthetically, I love the R EVO and it seems incredible, but I am concerned that it is not as comfortable to do a route with a passenger. Normally it will be for a few hours but I want to be able to go out with her and my girlfriend for a whole day. Do you see it too hasty or could it be done without problems? I have also seen that you can put a windshield and suitcases. Greetings and good video!

[@LifeofSmokey]

My 3 friends are now touring south of Europe with 3 superduke R's with bag but no extra windshield. So it can be done , is it as comfortable as a GT , hell no 😁. The GT gets you out the wind and is made as a sport/tourer but the ride feels very similar to the R. But the comfort with the R & GT is no where near the comfort of the Super Adventure series. 😎

[@Eritz25]

@@LifeofSmokey Well, very well, even so I do not plan to travel, they would be routes of one day and little more. The same for that use the GT is not worth it and the R will transmit more sensations to me. I don't know what you think! thanks for answering

[@LifeofSmokey]

@@Eritz25 if you never owned an R before , buy one! 😁👌 Best bikes i ever had. But can't really offroad with it and go into "explorer" mode as i often do 😎

[@Eritz25]

@@LifeofSmokey I will follow your advice and buy one. I've never had one, I'm coming off a gsxr 750 and want something more usable. I am 25 years old so there is time to move on to something more than traveling. Thank you so much for everything!

[@LifeofSmokey]

@@Eritz25 i had a gsx-r 1000 when i was 25 😁. Now i'm 37 , just sold my R and GT and riding Adventure R now. So you got all the years to try them out😎👌
