Pros and Cons in comparison

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.

A good bike at a very good price, especially the upside-down fork is convincing.

improved torque curve

upside-down fork

aggressive engine

low price

high weight

4 hp less than the predecessor

not exactly effortless driving
