Short twitchy and grunty - with Cat delete and LV-10 fattening out the midrange makes it a tight road monster - and New Zealand is full of tight roads, one lane bridges and a full range of weather.

“If you like function over looks, duke is the way to go” That’s an apparent bias towards duke. Husky is a more sophisticated/refined version of Ktm in terms of functionality and riding experience (except the display). Not to mention the 2020 Husqvarna has the best quick shifter in its category.
