Talking KTM 1390 Super Duke R with Jeremy McWilliams

We had the opportunity to have a conversation with one of the pivotal figures driving the development of the KTM Super Duke, delving into insights about the new 1390 model and the motivations behind its creation. Jeremy McWilliams, a rider with a diverse repertoire that spans from 250 and 500cc Grand Prix 2-stroke machines to contemporary 4-stroke MotoGP beasts, emerges as a man of multifaceted talents. His extensive experience has left an indelible mark on the Super Duke over the past 13 years of development.

I’m on my second Super Duke GT a 2016 model 5 years and a 2021 model I’m still using 28000 miles and 16000 miles such amazing bikes happy cruising a long 2 up around Spain or track days and more spirited riding with the boys . So thank you Jeremy for developing my perfect bike 👍👍😊

First time I've ever heard you interviewed Jeremy, thanks for doing this. I see why super dukes are so nice now you're cool guy .

The best thing KTM could have done, was getting the Legend Jeremy McWilliams to develop the bikes. Hopefully he is helping with the 990 Duke R and may have to replace my 890 Duke R with one. Top Bloke.

I have a Daytona 675 for the track love the triple best of all worlds . I have a super duke gen 3 for road I miss the top end when I took to track last year . Fun bike but I run out of steam at the top rpm and kept hitting limiter . So not ideal track bike . Sounds like the new SDR sorted that out with a do it all gen 4 . Not that power was a problem before just lost the top end .
