Updated KTM Super Duke GT in the making

KTM is planning to give its big sports tourer, the Super Duke GT some updates that will make it more enticing and attractive to the buyers.

This Austrian big tourer is expected to get a new TFT display, the same unit that’s there on the Super Duke R. It will also get the LED headlight that will enhance its overall appeal. To take care of touring needs, the updated Super Duke GT is also expected to get a new and better windscreen.

The 2019 Super Duke GT might not get any mechanical upgrades. It will continue to be powered by the same 1301cc V-Twin liquid-cooled motor that produces 170bhp of peak power and is mated to a six-speed gearbox. Just like the most of the bike KTMs, the Super Duke GT is also equipped with same latest electronic aids. It gets motorcycle stability control, tyre pressure monitoring system, cornering lights, riding modes, traction control system, cruise control, quickshifter and heated grips.

KTM India is known to offer value for money performance motorcycles. However, the displacement is limited upto 400cc for now. There are rumours about bigger KTMs making their way to India, but we’re expecting the Super Duke GT not to be in that list.

Canada debates new harassment legislation amid #MeToo storm

We can afford to do more for people who need it by doing less for people who don’t: Trudeau’s message (Photo Source: Reuters) Canada’s parliament began debate on Monday on new legislation to tighten workplace harassment rules, including those governing politicians, as allegations of sexual misconduct mounted against lawmakers on both sides of the political spectrum. The bill, introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government in November, gained a new prominence after a federal cabinet minister and two provincial party leaders stepped down last week after being accused of inappropriate behavior. While the proposed law will govern all federal workplaces, including private businesses, the environment among political staffers in Ottawa was in focus as the #MeToo social media movement gained momentum in Canada. “It clearly is a crisis in this workplace,” Employment Minister Patty Hajdu told reporters outside the House of Commons. “We talk a lot about getting wom...

Trump administration drops Obama-era easing of marijuana prosecutions

The US Justice Department on Thursday rescinded an Obama administration policy that had eased enforcement of federal marijuana laws in states that legalized the drug, instead giving federal prosecutors wide latitude to pursue criminal charges. The action by Attorney General Jeff Sessions could have damaging consequences for the burgeoning marijuana industry in the six states including California and Colorado that have legalized the drug for recreational use, plus dozens of others that permit medicinal use. Justice Department officials declined to say whether they might take legal action against those states, saying further steps were “still under consideration.” Federal law still prohibits marijuana even as some states move to legalize it. White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said President Donald Trump’s top priority was enforcing federal law “whether it’s marijuana or immigration.” The policy change, detailed by Sessions in a one-page memo to federal prosecutors nationwid...
