but need to lie over the tank . You don't need a bike ticket or licence as goes just as fast without one. Good cubby hole under seat to stash ASBOS needles and £10 bags of smack. Corners well when attempting to put distance between yourself and the filth

, and the torqueing that occurs when you goose it is a pleasure to experience and part of the charm of the motorcycle. This bike is to be enjoyed in a reasonable manner. It was not built to "beat" anybody, but rather to always give the rider a ticket back to the old

only stands you £500 more than the ticket on the standard Super Duke. It sure is tempting.But should you? This is a bike, again by KTM's own admission, that is 'ready to race'. The seat is little more than a very thin bit of foam glued to the plastic
