    Don't forget the 180bhp bit (some chatter if 150 - 180 bhp).

    I really consider one of these for non blade weather.
    I think it looks awesome.
    Just what every 44 year old bloke should have in his garage.

    Well seems you do coz I bet it is around just that with the akra, gas forks, race spec mono blocks etc etc! Id guess much the same if not a little more!

    A pair of bog stock WP WSB spec gas forks like those could cost you 10 to 20k!

    Will wait to see what a skimmed version looks like as that is defo the full fat naughty version The current bike is 10k new so would expect a figure not to far off that

    Love the current Superduke, but looks like things just got a lot better if this is close to the dealer version

    KTM really do know what they are doing, the RC8 needs updating next though IMO

    That double exit Akrapovic is just so damn sexy !
