It’s been more than five years since you could buy a proper sportsbike from KTM. The Austrian nonsense-mongers dropped the ugly-but-awesome RC8 superbike back in 2015, and since then we’ve yearned for a proper full-fat sportsbike in vain. Okay – the Super Duke 1290 and even the Super Adventure 1290 are both properly crackers, and we’re definitely all over them. But perhaps surprisingly for a firm which won four MotoGP rounds last year with its pure-sex RC16 race bike, there’s been little sign of a new, orange, track-ready machine.
