yeh but power means nothing its areo dinamicks and all the modern shit its exactly the same as racing a 180 yz250 with a 2008 yz250 no power difference but thats about all thats not different!
wtf... i bet if u put that duke off a line on a proper track gaisnt a r6.. the r6 wud giv the ktm a royal ass whooping... it seems unbelievablethe shit ppl are saying here, how can a 177kg 55hp duke, which has been desgined by a bunch of austrian monkeys (not a racing bike) beat a 160 kg 130 hp superbike, designed for track by the best engineers in japan! People, i suggest, u guys start using ur common sense!
How about you learn to spell properly? You seem to know nothing about riding dynamics. A bike like the Duke has awesome handling due to its low weight (177 kg is the weight fueled up while an R6 weighs in at almost 190 with fuel) and high and wide handlebar and loads of torque from low revs. On a twisty circuit, under a skilled rider it is easily able to embarrass an R6.
i agree my father owns an africa twin 750 60hp 250kg and he manages to kick the ass out of his mates on their gsxr1000's its all down to riding position and bar positioning e.t.c
yeh 2 an extend! but if u put casy stoner an a super duke im sure he would still not be the world superbike champion and if u put ricky carmichael on a peewee 50 he would not be the world AMA champion!!!!
...or it wouldn't be if this was a SuperDuke, but I think, as the OP says, it's a Duke which is not quite the same thing! I could be wrong, but the chain is on the wrong side, the pillion seat isn't there, the headlight cowl is swept, not angular, the petrol tank is tiny etc.
ok sorry i didnt know you were an expert at finding bike specs on the net you dont understand my initial point so why be a pain and comment on something that does not involve you i dont want to argue i dont need to express my bike knowledge to anyone

You chose to be offensive, I chose to be a pain. You're 16, I'm 40. It's just possible that I know something about bikes too. The bikes in my videos are all me(Triumph Rocket II, Honda CBF1000, Honda FMX, Superduke. I commented to point out that it's not a Superduke here to bentraves. You getting over-excited is just a side-effect.
ok peace man im sorry we both share a pasion for bikes i owe u respect your an adult sorry i heard those rocketII's have so much torque that they can keep up with a gsxr1000 to about 80mph is that true and they can wheelie for fun and i like the honda FMX ducati's hypermoto is a copy in my eyes.
's OK - and for other readers, we both mean Rocket III, not II... The Rocket was supposed to be my dream bike but disintegrated. Lots of stability and power, but annoying when it's time to park.
FMX was about 34bhp :-\ IMO Hypermotard is aimed at the SuperDuke market, but is ruined by its pathetic petrol tank capacity and filter-proof mirrors.
i know its no honda lol hydraulic clutch and over exagerated mirrors too much to snap off lol, beneli has realesed a great looking cafe racer and gs1200 wanabe tourer have u seen
I am telling you ,it was just a Duke II, one cylinder with aprox 53 Hp at the crank shaft.I just braked late and put my Duke front of him on the apex.He would have to go around me the long way on the outside..No way!
I regularly pass people in the turns with this bike and they just blow by me in the straight,than the we do it again and they get pissed..LOL
wtf a r1 would ansalutly smoke a duke a muck around fathers bike a r1 is a highly well thought out extreme super bike designed by the best engineers in the motocycle world! even a r6 would smoke the hell out of a duke!
ur father would get smoked by a skilled rider on any mid ranged 650 with a high ground clearance and twisty roads if u want to be a racer get a track bike r1's e.t.c get put to shame by allrounders on the hills nd twistys
yeah this just shows the r6 rider trying to make a pass and running out of road. Cool vid

i meant the power difference between the ktm and yamhaha are uncomparable to a peewee 50 and an ama bike for example yzf250 prick

OK - you're clearly expert at knowing what you meant.
OP says it's "a stock 2000 KTM Duke II with 53 HP"
The R6 is 110.6bhp@13800rpm
Twice as powerful, and probably twice as scary.
peewee 50 is 3.1 bhp
AMA would need to about 160bhp
50 times more powerful.
