KTM 690 Duke 2017

Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.

All it takes is the slightest impulse and the little Englishwoman turns exactly the way you want it to. This manoeuvrability is also unparalleled in the class of medium-sized naked bikes. A motorbike that can be moved in such a sporty manner would not deserve to be abused as a mile-eater and travel steamer.
