KTM 690 Duke 2010

KTM 690 Duke 2010

Are there so many people who don't need 100 hp to stabilise their ego? I think with previous single-cylinder models, it was always the design that was the problem, not the lack of power. The Duke manages to look really high-quality even as a small single-cylinder.

Stable frame

relatively low overall weight

good chassis

high-quality components

strong braking system

handling.

Significantly weaker single-cylinder engine

somewhat less comfort

somewhat less power.

With the RS, Kawasaki proves that it has mastered the art of retro bikes. You immediately forget that underneath the pretty dress is the normal Z650, because thanks to the right details, the retro design has been convincingly implemented. In the saddle, you enjoy the accessibility that you know from the technical sister. A retro bike that both beginners and experienced bikers will really enjoy!
