Good grief,

Am I the only person who thinks this 'review' is fuggin useless??! Please say it aint so.

For starters, the level of information is so LOW you'd get more help just from going to a showroom and kicking the tyres.

The formation riding shots at 20mph are a shameful embarrassment both in riding terms and filming!

The reviewer is providing almost no valuable information about the bikes. All we get is number of cylinders and bodywork info......stuff we already know or can find out easily enough. Nothing about suspension adjustability, handling, weight, ride height, power figures, speed figures, gear ratios, braking....I could go on. Not even PRICE btw.

And finally....how shit is that blokes riding position round that corner in the final shots???? Talk about crossed up!!

The very fact that anyone tests a SD against those 2 bikes is shocking.

It also reminds me that KTM need to update the SD for the current decade.

definitely, The new Duke 125 and the Duke 690 look much fresher and very sharp imho.

That said, I dont fancy having to clean all those fiddly bits in their swingarms

I've only seen piccs of the little bike and it is very nice, but I prefer the look of the SD.

I have no issues with the classic sharp lines that define the SD, I'd just like a updated engine.

A proper test would have ended at the first decent corner when the Z pogoed off into the shrubbery.
