Even a Super Duke is in a tight spot when the bends are not too sharp and the KTM can make full use of its radical handling and its unrivalled ability to correct the radius on naked bikes.

The R rides as precisely and calmly as never before. It is guaranteed to keep its nerve even when the rider may have long since thrown it away. The disadvantage of the compact powerhouse is that the radii have to be a little wider and the course a little faster so that the true Queen of England can also play the 4 aces up her sleeve.
