Hi Guys and Girls.
Thanks for pulling into the channel! Today we have a 2014 KTM Superduke R on the first ride, I took this immediately after riding the 890.
The Gen 1 Super Duke is an absolute beast!!! This is without a shadow of a doubt the most fun bike I have ridden to date, smiles per miles were through the roof!!
I did find that i had a hard time getting to the rear brake and shifter, being pre-owned i think this bike’s ergonomics were changed around a bit to fit the owner.
Does anyone have any thoughts on the pro-taper bar vs the stock bar? I really liked the position that the pro-taper put me in.
I hope you guys also find the audio okay, this bike was insanely loud with the full SC project exhaust system. I definitely wasn’t prepared.
This is a motorcycle I would recommend everyone rides at least once in their life. It is really unfortunate that I did not manage to get a video of the S1000R ride, the difference between the two is immense.
Hit me up in the comments on which bike you would like me to do a first ride on next!
Have a good one!!

I bought one last year. Absolutely no regrets. Previous bike was gsxr 1000k5...the SDR is an animal.

If you're that impressed by the noise then it's louder than you expected and you thought about a baffle😂..... And because the SDR is ALWAYS louder than expected🥳

My brother bought this bike from Raceworx about a week ago. I had to ride it down to Phalaborwa from Pretoria for him.

Cool video. Would you still consider this bike a good bike to purchase ? I’ve always liked the look of the 1290 performance and riding position look great from what I can see I have sat on this bike but never rode it also I’ve been looking at the 14 plate as I know I won’t be riding everyday just wanted a little bit of feed back to know is this still considered a beast even at 9 years old thanks 🙏

I think I would agree with you if I rode everyday or far out.

I would buy this beast if there's no electronics at all. I mean all, I want the throttle body manually operated by cables. It sucks the weakness is the 'sophisticated' stuffs.

Switch TC off and ABS?
