Where it is, is at the front

So KTM has delivered a cheat pack, because neither is it a beast, nor a duke. What luck. It is a power on the street, but a manageable one. The Super Duke stands for driving fun without end, when the sheer performance counts. It is pure irrationality, a fun bike without high utility value.

If you are looking for something like this, you will be happy here, provided you like the edgy design. But isn't that always the case?

The test bike was provided to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Hamburg.
