2021 KTM 1290 Superduke R 21 1.3L Petrol · CU71 YJF

The maintenance trend for this 2021 KTM 1290 Super Duke R is entirely stable, reflecting a machine kept in sound mechanical order. During the most recent MOT on 16 March 2026 at 4,483 miles, the tester recorded zero defects, confirming the motorcycle currently meets all roadworthiness standards without any advisories. This follows a clean pass on 21 October 2024 at just 618 miles, demonstrating a consistent pattern of diligent upkeep across the vehicle's short service life. The mileage accumulation tells an interesting story of shifting ownership patterns. Averaging roughly 897 miles per year over five years, the usage remains exceptionally low for a performance motorcycle. However, the interval between the two recorded tests reveals a distinct shift in riding habits. Between October 2024 and March 2026, the odometer climbed by 3,865 miles in just 17 months, indicating the current or most recent owner rides the machine far more frequently than the original keeper. Such a sudden spike in mileage after a prolonged period of dormancy warrants a close look at how the bike was stored and whether consumables were checked before regular use resumed. With no mechanical or structural faults recorded on paper, a buyer must still verify the physical condition of components that suffer from sitting idle rather than regular use. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the calipers for binding, as a motorcycle standing for long periods often develops sticky pistons and uneven pad deposits. Examine the suspension seals and fork stanchions for pitting, and verify the condition of the tyres, as low annual mileage often means the rubber has aged and hardened before the tread wears down. A thorough test ride will confirm whether the throttle response and drivetrain remain smooth after the recent increase in road use.
