SuperDuke road manners without
taking away it’s circuit fun, hence the
world launch at a track in Potimau,
and I need to agree with them. It’s still
a track weapon that will scare even
the most hardened superbike rider,
well almost, but it’s on the streets
where this bike actually shines, the
quick-shifter has come a long way, I
love the way it blips on down changes
and the cornering ABS seriously
boosts confidence even trail braking
into a bend. It’s nice knowing you have
an electronic back up just in case you
get carried away.
So the question is, does the new
2020 1290R justify it’s R60k premium
on the best Gen 2 out there on offer,
and the answer has to be yes, after
being on the newer bike, the other two
feel dated.
