Default Superduke opinions?

Haven't done a track day in a while, thinking about something more upright.

What do y'all think of the KTM Superduke?

Everyone I know that owned one tried to sell it to me. That kinda bothered me about them. I like the way they look though.

I have three regulars that come out with them. Excellent bike. But, dealer support sucks ass for KTM.

I spent little time on one it is an amazing machine. While certainly not the most powerful machine I have been on it combination of balance power, suspension , braking and even weight made it it an incredibly easy bike to ride. I consider myself at best moderately skilled and this let me do things I have done in thirty years

Yeah, I said that too. Our KTM runs on a wing and a prayer. I mean, this motor won't die no matter what we throw at it. But, getting parts is a bitch.
