Weekly wind-on: your roundup of the stories that mattered in motorbikes this week Gold Star returns! Iconic British BSA brand resurrected by MahindraīSA are back! The iconic British marque has risen from the ashes with a brand-new Gold Star 650. Read the latest stories causing a buzz this week in News… The updated 1290 Super Duke GT is expected in dealers from January next year, with pricing to come shortly. Still, gives them something new to announce in a year’s time. Considering KTM have fitted the latest Bosch system to the 1290 Super Adventure S, it was widely expected it would be offered as an option. One feature that is curiously absent is the addition of any cruise control radar. The navigation still runs through a paired smartphone, however the functions can now be accessed through the dash without having to remove the phone from a pocket and faff about. The highlight of the new dash is what KTM describe as ‘Turn by Turn PLS’ navigation, which is said to be a significant improvement over their current system.

The biggest change comes in the electronics department with a brand new 7" full colour TFT dash, which is complemented by new switchgear. The new wheels are now shod with Continental SportAttack 4 tyres, which KTM say delivers a sportier riding experience. KTM has stopped short of bringing across all the mad chassis upgrades from the R though as was expected given spyshots showed the Austrians were at least experimenting with this set up. Weight has crept down a little in part thanks to fitting the wheels from the Super Duke R, which have saved 1kg on their own.

Internally the motor has been given a gentle tickle to make it Euro5 friendly, while managing to keep power exactly where it was at 173bhp. KTM have waved their magic wand at the ultimate sports tourer for hooligans resulting in a plethora of small but welcome upgrades to the 1290 Super Duke GT.
