Okay, I'm not sure if I've done this correctly. This is a link to a "torrent" for the video: http://tinyurl.com/utoqn

The video itself is about 9M in size. I made it a torrent to save some bandwidth on my computer. This video was originally released by KTM when the SuperDuke was first introduced, and then pulled when complaints about the irresponsible riding portrayed became too numerous.

It's still a GREAT video. And the bike is FINALLY going to be sold in the States.

Just go to the website, http://www.990superduke.com/

Click movies and make sure your popup blocker isn't on. While you're at it, the 690 supermoto looks totally extreme and the video is even better. Alas, not available in US.

The list on the site Kdan put up says it is only listed in these countries, and U.S. wasn't one of them

I called a couple dealers and am hearing March/April.

There is, I confess, an element of humor as I recall the crap Buell was put through when they stalled, for a couple months, the delivery of a new model.

The Super Duke has been vaporware so long I am eager to see if the fuzz has worn off it.

I think, on it's own merits, it should be a huge success. They lost me on the styling, but the KTM's I've personally owned have all been an absolute hoot and well built.

KTM Mxers are tractors on the track, tons-o-power. Valves are a PITA to adjust and the rear suspension isn't quites as good as some of the Jap multi link set ups but overall a really good bike. Really liked the duke untill I saw the Aprilia. That my new fav............until Buell makes a Blast update (hopefully) or a single cylinder sumo style bike.

I need something like an DRZ400 with a 450 stuffed in it. 60-70 wheel hp and super lightweight. Never was a fan of anything with fairings, mostly naked bikes. Since I miss MX so much and haven't the time (or money) to buy another one I want a hybrid. The Blast engine in a flat track frame moves pretty good I just never saw a bike with a ton of suspension using that engine. The baby Uly idea may be a very good one if they can up the HP or make a small twin. If my uncle ever lets me loose in his fab shop (and if I ever find frame geometry that works) watch out.

I was looking at a left over SM before I found the M2 for sale. I'm glad I bought the Buell. The Suzuki would have been fun but deep down I would have regreted not getting the Cyclone. In time I'll have all the bikes I've wanted but until then dreams and bench racing is free.

The video on the KTM site is not nearly as extreme as the video I saved when it first came out, believe me.

Nice but they need to put a larger disclaimer on it for you younger riders! Oh yea, and set up a special insurance fund.
Always respected KTM, they know the proper way to color a bike, ORANGE!
