Super Duke GT : KTM has unveiled an unusual yet intriguing model for 2016. Take the Super Duke R – one of the most powerful naked bikes on the market and make it just a little friendlier. Keep the 1301cc v-twin powerplant that makes the R so extremely potent, keep the style recognizable but add a larger adjustable fairing, saddlebags and more comfort for touring and the result is the Super Duke GT. Sure the goodies are still there if you don’t plan on leisurely touring – power modes, quickshifter, lean sensitive ABS and traction control but if your wrist gets tired from all that vigorous touring, there is also standard cruise control. Thank goodness for small mercies.
