The Beast! Has any one ridden one? KTM 1290R

[rocketman1]

I would like to hear from anyone who has ridden the BEAST.
180hp motard type bike, must be a blast.

I presume you mean the Superduke.

No, but I had a Supermoto 990SM (the previous engine) and with 300cc less it still pulled nice 3rd gear wheelies. Yeah, the bike was definitely shy of power and needed the extra 300 :eek:

I got to ride a superDuke last year , after hopping off the R1 it was relatively tame. Slower than my old RSV (seat of the pants dyno there) kept bouncing off the limiter in 1st and 2nd.

I've ridden one also, was good but nothing special, the BMW S1000R I rode straight after was far superior
