KTM 690 Duke 2008

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 suspension is fully adjustable. The full Yoshimura range is also available for the DR-Z from the technical accessories trade. If you feel the urge, you can also turn the civilian DR-Z SM into a real killer machine.

No vibrations

low maintenance

smooth engine running

linear and clean engine characteristics

favourable purchase price

beginner-friendly

reliable

Original out of the box missing details, such as an aluminium handlebar

top performance is a little lacking
