i just got mine this week and i really would like to shake everyones hand personally who has made it possible to built such an awesome bike. Thanks guys!

[@LebzitoK]

I don't think my mind is ready. The love I have for this company. One day, I will own one of these.

[@jonomasonILoveU]

Have you got a KTM yet?😁

[@LebzitoK]

@@jonomasonILoveU Not yet, it's a bit expensive in South Africa. I'm planning on getting a 2016 Model.

[@jonomasonILoveU]

A great goal for you,I`m riding Duke390,best small bike in the world😁.@@LebzitoK

[@ross5506]

At 55yo I want to thank KTM for building the 2020 Super Duke, I've sold my 2015 H2 for this monster torque! Never enough of torque.

[@ashishgari2377]

This bike gives goosebumps, my dream bike.

[@bluemarkthomas]

I bought a left over 2019 model this year. The beast is the best performance street bike you can buy. Its comfortable, crazy fast, good on gas, and unique. Its so fun, the power is amazing. I don't ride my ducati hypermotard anymore because of how much i enjoy the superduke. It's so easy to ride, yet has brutal power when you twist the throttle. Its so good it doesn't seem like it should even be legal. LOVE IT!

[@timmwhite9218]

Exquisite, finally a motorcycle that exceeds all expectations and outruns the hype surrounding it's release. Last time I said I will own one of those, I did! It was the 1982 1/2 Husqvarna 500CR. It was a beast too. I will own one of these. Can hardly wait!!

[@Sanisani9]

Did you got one?

[@chanakyasinha8046]

Ktm has the power not to force induce the engine, and still puts down massive power at the wheels

[@scottpeck1149]

I want one! Very Experienced rider my VTR is getting old, time to start saving for you great engineering success!

[@karthikm.s2611]

Will this bike be available in India? Since 390 is already being manufactured here, I really hope the 690 and the 1290 do come here in a few years. I would love to own the beast!

[@jimpruitt4488]

Totally awesome! I wonder if it comes with taller handlebars and a windshield? Ok, the "naked bike" concept may be wasted on me, but I am impressed!

[@MrKdr500]

not a good idea to send 1290 to india.

[@karthikm.s2611]

Jim, I don't think they have the option of taller handlebars, but they have windshields for highway riding.

[@MrKdr500]

Jim Pruitt you'd be surprised if you rode this bike, on the highway it does not really need a windsheild as the headlight deflects very well.

[@markustitze3801]

Du geb ich dir recht

[@michaelwong5356]

It says, "It does not come in peace." A road tester here didn't get that....and broke his right collarbone and right arm when the Beast threw him off. He managed just about 500 yards...before that happened. The 1290 demands respect when you swing your leg over it. Failure to do so will result in bad things.

KTM is mind blowing bike

[@raja777m]

180hp, they said it is for everyone; 😂

[@MZ-bl6wg]

Yeah I was jsut thinking it's the most powerful super naked EVeR!!! That's NOT for everyone!!! I jsut sold my 2017 Yamaha MT10 (a naked R1) that has 15 less hp and inwont evej mention how many less trq and it will power wheelie in ALL 6 gears! No clutch, not throttle compressing and preloading the front shock, jsut twist the throttle!! It's insane fast /quick,..the SDR was moreso and I've had 13 sport bikes now and a Supernaked, the SDR is THE LAST THINGa bigger should ever get!!! But it's soenthing every rider shoutout experince when they can handle it safely.

[@sebastianhines7191]

180hp is nothing. My ZX14R "was" 187hp at rear wheel stocked.....

[@jshartsell]

@@sebastianhines7191 yeah but this is a V twin with 180hp.....alot harder to ride than an inline 4 with 187 hp

[@neilreid9005]

@@sebastianhines7191 - The ZX14R is to be respected. The 180hp in the Super Duke is in a way lighter bike.

[@chanakyasinha8046]

@@sebastianhines7191 i think that is supercharged, and superduke is natural induction
