Touring riders, those who like to travel and synchronised riders will not enjoy it due to the lack of mounting options for luggage systems and limited space on the pillion. But modern city dwellers, nimble country dwellers and hard-working weekend sportsmen will find the 696 the lubricant for the purpose - and at a relatively reasonable price.
KTM 690 Duke R 2015
The 'R' picks up where the standard Duke leaves off, or reaches its limits. On the road, the difference will only be noticeable in a home track duel, but on the racetrack it becomes particularly clear. The decisive factors here are the brakes, the adjustable chassis and the lean angle clearance. The 30 mm higher seat automatically puts you in a front-wheel racing position, gives you more feedback from the chassis and puts more pressure on the brakes. The 'R' already has everything on board that you only get with the standard version via the Track Pack - and even more. Namely the fine suspension and the Akrapovic exhaust. In return, you have to make small concessions in terms of comfort in everyday use.
