To be fair, anything this good I'm expecting to be high maintenance, they usually are
It looks exactly like the one on their website - there's only one colour for a Super Duke GT.
I'm loving it, and that's only the first proper ride (test ride was a bit shorter). I never really gelled with my S1000XR - it was too big for me, even after I'd lowered it. I could chuck it around ok, but it needed a lot of effort to do that. I toured a fair bit on it and found that after 3 days of constantly heaving it around I'd have built up enough upper body strength to handle it, but I still felt (and looked) like a flea riding a dog's testicle.
The obvious difference is the fairing/shrouding, bigger tank, and the screen. Apart from that, the frame on the R looks totally different to the GT at the swingarm, and I'm guessing the geometry of the R might be a bit more sporty than the GT, but I'm no KTM expert.
That was my impression after two rides, albeit very cold, and slimy roads. I'm shit at wheelies, so I need to get to wheelie school, or just accept that at 51 I don't need to learn, but I took it down my favourite B and A road ride, and it handle it well. I also get the feeling it'll be great at the Spain/France tour I'm doing next year.mangocrazy wrote: ↑Sat Dec 03, 2022 9:38 pm I've been out on a few rides around the Peak District with a mate who has one, and it just seems ridiculously capable at just about everything, be it back roads hustling, covering large distances with minimal fuss or pulling really impressive wheelies.
These bikes are great at everything, touring, trackdays, whatever. Nice riding position, sound ace, go ace. Enjoy.
