The arrival of the new BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2014 heralds the beginning of a new chapter in the success story of BMW Motorrad’s large, boxer-engine GS models that dates back more than 30 years. Since its debut in 2005, the big GS Adventure has been firmly established as the definitive machine for long-distance travel.

The BMW R 1200 GS Adventure 2014 as the quintessential travel companion for expeditions and long-distance exploration.
Here are some pictures and specifications of the new KTM 1290 Super Duker R. It claims a 0 to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 7.2 seconds, with low fuel consumption. And, the service interval for this machine is a whopping 15,000 km.
KTM has put in a 1300cc in the form of a 75-degree V-twin. The result is an extremely lightweight, elemental engine filled with state-of-the-art racing technology. Still it’s even more sophisticated, durable and cultivated than ever. 132 kW (180 HP) peak power, 144 Nm maximum torque with 100 Nm as early as 2500 rpm!

Enjoy the following pictures of the KTM 1290 Super Duke R for now. And, there’s a bonus right at the end!
