Our Verdict
A solid recommendation for a low-mileage
When inspecting this specific orange KTM, prioritize checking the braking system. While the 2022 and 2023 MOTs noted front brake disc pitting and binding issues, the 2025 and 2026 tests show no defects. You should verify if the discs were replaced or if the binding was simply a result of seized calipers that have since been serviced.
Ask the seller for documentation regarding the exhaust system. The 2022 and 2024 MOT records both flagged exhaust noise, which could indicate a loose mounting or a leak in the manifold. Additionally, because the mileage is low, ensure that the service intervals have been strictly adhered to, as low-mileage bikes can sometimes suffer from neglected maintenance due to infrequent use.
As a 1301cc performance machine, running costs will be higher than a standard commuter bike. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but the large engine capacity will reflect in the fuel consumption.
Insurance groups for the 1290 Superduke series are typically high due to the high power output. Maintenance costs should account for premium tyres and high-performance brake components, which were noted as points of interest in previous MOT tests. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, and routine maintenance, are expected to be significant.
Focus your physical inspection on the braking components and the exhaust. Given the 2022 MOT mentioned a worn front brake disc and the 2023 MOT noted both front and rear brakes binding, check the calipers for any signs of weeping fluid or sticking pistons. Ensure the brake discs are smooth and free from the pitting mentioned in the 2022 record.
Check the exhaust mounting and heat shielding. The MOT history shows two separate instances of 'exhaust noise' (2022 and 2024), so listen for any irregular vibrations or loud pops when the engine is idling or under load. Finally, check the tyre tread depth, as the 2023 MOT specifically flagged a rear tyre being close to the legal limit.
This 2017 KTM 1290 SUPERDUKE GT 17 in Orange has covered 21,005 miles since its first registration in March 2017. The MOT history shows a period of minor issues between 2022 and 2024, including brake binding and exhaust noise, but the most recent two tests in 2025 and 2026 recorded no defects. The mileage is notably low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, suggesting it has been used for seasonal or recreational rather than heavy commuting.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the KTM 1290 SUPERDUKE GT 17 to provide a comparative reliability score.
