Is the KTM Super Duke R Special Edition worth the extra dough?

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.

Is the KTM Super Duke GT too much bike for daily commuting?

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?
