Do you need 175 hp or even launch control in a touring motorbike? Of course not. Is it fun? Definitely! Although the Super Duke GT can't hide its genes and is undeniably a Duke in terms of agility and cornering power despite its 209 kg dry weight, it's still possible to cruise in a relaxed manner, always assuming a certain "maturity" with such performance data, of course. Because unlike the Super Duke R or even an 890 Duke R, it doesn't constantly suggest the knife between my teeth, but rather a feeling of sovereignty, freely according to the motto "I can, but I don't have to". And all of this comes lavishly equipped as standard, or as one might expect from a motorbike costing 22,499 euros in Austria or 19,053 euros in Germany.
