2019 KTM 1290 SUPERDUKE R 191.3L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend following a period of concern. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 26,215 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the issues identified in previous tests have been addressed. This represents a significant improvement over the March 2025 test where the tester flagged defects regarding the exhaust and braking system. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 3,745 miles per year. Data shows a consistent but infrequent usage pattern, moving from 5,301 miles in March 2022 to 12,372 miles by March 2024. A larger jump of nearly 9,000 miles occurred between the March and October 2025 tests. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or fluid stagnation if the bike has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should pay close attention to the offside rear exhaust system, which was noted as noisy in both March 2024 and March 2025. Although the October 2025 pass suggests a fix or adjustment, a physical inspection should check for loose brackets or internal heat damage that could return. The fluctuation in central front brake effort recorded in early 2025 also warrants a thorough check of the brake discs for warping and to ensure the caliper pistons are not seizing, as hydraulic performance must remain consistent despite the low mileage.
