KTM 690 Duke 2009

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.

The ingredients for the 2021 update are right: More power, more equipment, more electronics, less weight. If you take a look at the key data of the latest MT-09, including its over-complete standard equipment, "mid-range naked bike" almost sounds a bit pejorative. The Japanese engineers have made improvements exactly where they were needed. The swaying chassis is now a thing of the past and the load change reactions have also been eliminated from the revised three-cylinder engine. The additional power paired with a little more pressure in the mid-range gives a sovereign riding feeling. The MT-09 offers a lot of equipment and enormous riding pleasure at a very attractive price. If you like the look, you can buy it without hesitation.

No more load change reactions

even more pressure from the centre

over-complete electronics package

great working quickshifter

comfortably integrated seating position

successful chassis

lively handling

enormous riding pleasure.

Polarising look

small TFT display

somewhat indirect front wheel feel

cruise control only available in SP variant
