I thought KTMs' line for getting rid of the 1190 Sport range of bikes was 'nobody needs that kind of power on the street'?


I wonder what the weight of this monster is going to be?

....and @Evoex stuck with that baby duke now....

I believe they said no one needs a superbike on the street(and they are right)
which is why they build a track only RC 8C

The superduke is hardly that though, the madness that is its power starts at 0 and ends at 10000 rpms (where you want it)
No need to chase a 14k redline...
The ergos are pretty comfy
It doesnt get hot in traffic...
And instead of feeling like a planted but underutilized weapon on the street *cough* (tuono) it feels fun/insane...at every speed, gear and revs


If I had to guess, they'll try to keep the weight where its at, or maybe it will go up slightly 🤷‍♂️

I already spoke to a bunch of guys at apex...they dont think it'll be coming any time soon(on the count of no word from KTM and no rebates on the current models), like the BMW 1300GS...you'll hear rumors for a couple of years...and maybe down the line it'll be released 🤷‍♂️


Oh and im picking this up soon:

So... three bikes?
It's not the cost of the bikes that throws me, it's the insurance.
I will not give insurance companies 3X the money when I can only ride one bike at a time. I am also not phoning someone every time I want to take a different bike out.

That is one of the best things, get to know your bike and make it your own.
 
This is hilarious to me. Imagine a Super Duke with another 10% more torque and even 5% more horsepower.

That's what it really needed, more torque. :D :D :D

Sometimes Clown World delivers something fun, I guess.
 
So what is that new bike? I don’t recognize KTM models … Super Duke?
