Posted
by
£13,999 | Liquid-cooled V-twin | 180bhp | 106lb-ft On paper, KTM’s new Super Duke R is a terrifying prospect: a two cylinder engine with more capacity in one pot than all four in an R6; the styling of a supermoto on steroids; 180bhp… hell, KTM even call it ‘The Beast’! This is an all-new…

£8999 | 71bhp @5500rpm | 76 lb-ft @4000rpm | 1304cc, liquid cooled v-twin Listen to the bar-room experts and they’ll tell you that cruisers are rubbish.
