The sportier side of the touring: the legend of the Tourist Trophy Michael Rutter takes us for a ride around the Isle of Man with the GT 2019.

When it arrives in dealerships' showrooms, towards the end of this year, the brand new KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT version 2019 will in all probability be the most sophisticated and performing tourer sport available on the market today. The GT combines and combines the phenomenal performance of the engine, the great maneuverability on the road and the dynamic rigor on the track of the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, transferred to a motorcycle designed to devour miles in total comfort, tackling routes of all kinds, with passenger and luggage.

With the aim of testing the new GT at 360 ° even before its arrival at the official dealerships, KTM invited Michael Rutter, multi-winner of the TT Isle of Man, the Macao Grand Prix and the British Superbike Championship, to lead the new KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT in the legendary Isle of Man. With a career of 30 years behind him as a pilot, but also a specialized journalist, the English has tested a huge variety of vehicles and knows what they want from a bike, both on the track that on the road.
