Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 390 Duke 2016

The KTM 390 Duke is a really good compromise between sportiness, reason, riding comfort, fun and price. Best of all: it doesn't feel like a compromise at all, but like it's ready to race.

Low weight

sufficient power

high fun factor

low consumption

Sluggish clutch

small geometry

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.

powerful engine

suitable for everyday use

many technical aids

manoeuvrable

smooth running

For some, not a "real" single-cylinder Duke
