I have owned the 1200 GS and rented the KTM 1290GT Superduke from AllRound in Frankfurt. I can stay up with my friends GS 1200, but the TVL will not roll with the 1290. The TVL feels like it is going fast and for me, is good enough.
Gassing it from 30 to 90 pulling on to the freeway, or opening it up between corners on a country road is the best.
For years, my boys and I have raced KTM's in hairscrambles and like speed, but beyond lets say ' a hundred and something," on the road is fun for a quick burst, but who needs 170 on the road? I know some will say yes, but I like my freedom from an overnight in the pokie. I know, because it happened to me once and once is a enough.
The track is a different story, but I don't do that as of now.
Is the TVL fast enough? What do you guys think? Do you have the need for MORE speed?
