Discussions and Questions Ktm Super Duke - Page 3
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.

I would say that it is worth it just for the uniqueness factor. It’s a conversation starter wherever you go, and you don’t see many on the road.
Is the electronics package on the KTM Super Duke GT overkill or a game changer?

It’s a game changer for the electronics. Without them, you ride faster and safer than you ever could. It’s like having a safety net that won’t get in your way until you need it.

Overkill for sure. Most of the time I forget they’re even there. Those electronic nannies aren’t necessary for a skilled rider.

I still wasn’t a believer, not at first, but after riding in the rain with the traction control, I am. It's like having superpowers.

When they work, they’re great, but I’ve had problems with false alarms and glitches. Sometimes simpler is better.

It’s worth it just for the semi-active suspension. The ability to change the character of the bike on the fly is awesome for the varied conditions of riding.

I think it's a bit much. I like riding analog. And not only that, but more electronics means more stuff that can break.

If you use it, it’s not overkill. The personality of the bike changes depending on the riding modes. It’s kind of like having all your bikes in one.

The electronics are great for getting up to the edge on track days. And they give you the confidence to lean a little further, brake a little later.

After the first month, I turned most of it off. It's nice to have, but not required if you already know what you're doing.
Is the KTM Super Duke GT too civilized to live up to its "Beast" reputation?

It’s still a beast, but a more versatile one. Push a button, and the GT will go from comfortable tourer to corner–carving monster.

Nope, it lost that edge that made the original Super Duke special. Its teeth have become dulled by too many creature comforts.

The Beast is the perfect evolution of the GT. It has all the power, but it can be tamed when you need it to be. Best of both worlds.

It's a beast when you don't want it to be and refined when you do. That’s what makes it so special; it’s got multiple personalities.

I can say as an owner of both the R and the GT, the GT is just as beastly but more usable day to day. This is a beast you can live with.

It’s still very much a beast the moment you twist the throttle. The touring bits just help you enjoy it for longer.

I find it too refined. What I want is a bike that scares me a little. It is fast, but no longer does it have that raw edge.
Is the KTM Super Duke GT too much bike for daily commuting?
16 January 2025 06:46
Are you kidding? A bike is not a bad thing. It’s perfect for commuting. Luckily, that power is useful when you need to get out of the way of distracted drivers.

Mine I use for commuting, and it's rather docile in urban mode. The real benefit is that you can sit more upright and enjoy the comfort of the ergonomics in comparison with pure sportbikes.

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.
