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.

The KTM Super Duke GT is toward the top of the sport touring price range and can be much more expensive than others such as the BMW R1250RS or Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX. However, the premium pricing of this model creates value-for-money questions in the sport-touring segment. Supporters say the GT's high-performance engine, electronics, and KTM's reputation for performance are worth the price. But other bikes, critics argue, offer the same features and comfort for less money. You also need to look at long-term ownership costs, such as maintenance and reliability problems. Since it's an entry into a segment in which it has little experience, is the Super Duke GT's performance and feature set worth the extra money, or should buyers opt for one of the sport tourers out there for less money?
