If you’re looking for a serious adventure motorcycle that combines massive V-Twin power, long-distance touring capability, advanced electronics, and genuine off-road performance, this 2020 KTM 1290 Super Adventure R is an excellent choice. Finished in Black/White and showing only 5,249 miles, this 1290 Super Adventure R offers the power and comfort of a premium touring motorcycle with the rugged hardware needed to explore well beyond the pavement.
Powered by KTM’s 1,301cc LC8 liquid-cooled V-Twin engine paired with a 6-speed transmission, the 1290 Super Adventure R delivers tremendous torque and responsive performance across a wide RPM range. Whether you’re covering highway miles, exploring back roads, or heading onto dirt and gravel, the bike is designed to provide strong performance while remaining comfortable and controlled.
The R model is the more off-road-focused version of KTM’s 1290 Super Adventure platform. With long-travel WP suspension, a 21-inch front wheel, 18-inch rear wheel, spoked wheels, dual-sport tires, and adventure-oriented electronics, it was built for riders who want true versatility without giving up the power and technology of a flagship motorcycle.
Why this one stands out:
With only 5,249 miles, this 2020 KTM has relatively low mileage and offers a serious combination of performance, technology, and adventure capability. The Super Adventure R was designed specifically for riders who want a large-displacement ADV motorcycle capable of handling both long-distance pavement riding and challenging terrain.
The combination of KTM’s LC8 V-Twin, off-road-focused chassis, WP suspension, rider aids, and rugged adventure-bike design makes the 1290 Super Adventure R a compelling option for riders who don’t want their trip to end when the pavement does.
