Needless to say then, when it comes to covering ground comfortably at speed, the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE GT is a bit of a weapon."

The big BMW's are popular here, but the KTM - Hells Bells, that is one crankin machine. We don't see these in the US that I know of. cry


Thats a shame as they are great FAST tourers. Its a much harder ride than the GS. I like both bikes, both have their strengths and weaknesses. I just wanted a grunty V Twin again without losing the touring aspect. The Superduke GT now has the Track Pack and WOW is that exciting to ride in that mode!! The BMW has comfort and is lively but lacks the aggressive power and feels like it gets exhausted past 4/5K revs. The KTM just keeps going smile
