Is the KTM Super Duke R Special Edition worth the extra dough?
16 January 2025 06:52
Absolutely worth it! It's not just a fancy paint job. You get top-shelf Öhlins suspension, forged wheels, and that sweet Akrapovic exhaust. Think of it as the regular Super Duke R that went to finishing school and came back with a PhD in badassery.
How does the KTM Super Duke R Special Edition work for daily commutes?
16 January 2025 06:52
Commuting actually isn't that bad! City riding is a breeze on the upright riding position and low-end torque. And just be prepared for everyone at work to hate you for having such a cool ride.
Having ridden the motorcycle, I must state that it is worth its price tag, which is slightly higher than what you’d pay for other sport tourers.

It depends on what you value. Yes, if you want the best-performing sport tourer, no matter the cost. If you have a more budget-conscious side, then look elsewhere.
Is the electronics package on the KTM Super Duke GT overkill or a game changer?

Is the KTM Super Duke GT too civilized to live up to its "Beast" reputation?

Is the KTM Super Duke GT too much bike for daily commuting?
16 January 2025 06:46
Commuting definitely requires overkill. In city traffic you'll never use even half its potential. It’s also expensive to maintain and insure. Go get something more practical for daily use.
What’s the difference between the KTM Super Duke GT and other adventure bikes for long-distance touring?
16 January 2025 06:46
Both I've toured on and I prefer the ADV bikes. After several hours in the saddle, it makes a big difference to be upright and be better protected from the wind.
