KTM 690 Duke 2015
It is unbelievable how cultivated KTM has developed the single-cylinder without sacrificing performance. It can be considered a stroke of genius that, within the framework of the EURO4 standard, the engine's running culture was raised while at the same time increasing power. The flat torque curve is responsible for the smooth, powerful propulsion. From 4000 revs, the Duke pushes hard and revs up to 8500 revs. Even at low revs, the engine does not stutter or swallow, which is an advantage in the city. The Duke's greatest strength, apart from its rideability, is its manoeuvrability, which is why it can confidently be called a toy. It's only when you're on the racetrack and attacking hard that you wish you had the "R" under your bum.

The 701 Supermoto is the right vehicle for asphalt surfers who regard a motorbike as a toy without wanting to forego suitability for everyday use. The ABS also meets sporting demands, can be switched off or operated in Supermoto mode using a "dongle" from the accessories. The ride-by-wire offers three different riding modes to choose from, which can also only be changed while riding with an extra. This brings us to the downer in the Austro-Swedish melange: we would have liked to see some extras in the standard equipment. One of these is the set of stickers for the many white surfaces on the fairing.
