Fun bike... for sure. A very good friend of mine has one, and I just refer to it as *angry*. It's my favorite ugly bike... because ugly it is...

KTM prides itself on the angular, industrial look. Can't mistaken it for anything else.

I haven't ridden the SuperDuke yet, but my buddy Mattias who is the Ops Manager for Fastrack Riders out here loves it! Of course, he's Austrian too so his impartiality is officially in question.
I did demo a Hypermotard S yesterday... ![]() |

We got to test ride several KTM's in Suches in October.
The SuperDuke is a fantastic handling bike. It feels very similar to an XBSTT in its seating position and responsiveness. The brakes are great. The only complaint besides the price tag was the FI. It was very on off snatchy. It was difficult to keep it "at speed" and it surged badly. The 990A I rode did the same thing. Strangely, the best fueled bike was the 950 Super Enduro that was carburated.
