The ticket for the mountains
By (I am an Owner) on Apr 25, 2009I am 67 going on 45. You really do not need to get old. My KTM 690 Duke is one of six great bikes I own and drive in the mountains of N.C. If anyone passes you in the turns it is your fault. The lean angle is off the chart. Lots of tourque down low and very strong out of the corners. Purchased the ... after market Ackcropovic system which really on corks the bike. The maping that the dealer downloads for this system is spot on. Very happy.

Just got me one!!
By (I am an Owner) on Jan 11, 2009Good power, lets you toss it into the corners, slick gearbox, just awesome. I found myself riding it like a motocross bike. shifting sans clutch with no problem. lay it over in a corner open it up and go. very nice. fit and finish is very good. top of the line parts from the handle bars to ... the wheels. very impressed with it.

Wow...
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 13, 2008There's something about the Duke positioning it between reality and dream. When you start up the engine, dis-engage the clutch, and let the beast advance...your brain delivers a sense of freedom. Is it due to the powerful engine; the lightweight easiness, or the perfection of the detailing and ... materials? This bike is awesome and quickly becomes one with its driver.
A sexy bit of kit :)
