2014 KTM SuperDuke R review

[BuddhaBuell]

I know there has been a buzz amongst a few Buellers pertaining to this bike

That bike is so sweet... would love to test ride one. Still waiting to see what the new EBR naked will look like. Thing i think i love most about the KTM though is the tube frame! I love tube frames!

One of the reviews mentioned that you can not have of the traction control systems on and do a wheelie. Wheelie control is not able to be shut off unless you forgo all traction control. That's sort of a bummer. I like EBR's multistage system.

That was a pretty favorable review; sounds like KTM have designed this to be more easy-going than some of their other offerings. I've ridden an RC8, Duke 690, and 450xc-w, and I found all of them to be 'higher-strung' than their Japanese or German comparables. Consequentially I've always considered KTMs as fun bikes to borrow if you get a chance, but not something I'd want to live with daily.
