Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 690 Duke 2013

For pure fun, the 690 Duke without the R is already sufficient. The potent single-cylinder engine is almost identical, as is the weight and handling, and the appearance is too similar to be a real selling point for the 690 Duke R.

Light weight

sufficient power

low consumption

No chassis adjustment possible

low comfort
