KTM 390 Duke 2013

La KTM 390 Duke est un compromis vraiment réussi entre sportivité, raison, confort de conduite, plaisir et prix. Mieux encore, elle ne donne pas du tout l'impression d'être un compromis, mais plutôt d'être prête pour la course.

Si l'on débourse d'abord environ 8.500 (Allemagne) ou près de 9.000 euros (Autriche) pour la RC390 R et qu'il reste ensuite environ 11.000 flocons pour le kit SSP 300, on obtient une marchandise de course digne du championnat du monde. "Ready to Race", le nom est tout un programme, vraiment. Dans ce cas, un "Ready to win the World Championship" serait presque plus approprié, car le kit de pièces est vraiment très complet et conforme au règlement de la FIM. KTM fait tout ce qui est en son pouvoir pour satisfaire tous ceux qui envisagent de se lancer sérieusement dans le monde de la course, en particulier les jeunes espoirs. KTM Customer Racing, je retire mon casque ! Bravo !
