KTM 890 Duke 2021
Že predhodnik 790 Duke je dokazal, da KTM zna izdelati cestni naked motocikel srednjega razreda. Novi 890 nosi baklo z napihnjenimi prsmi in ponovno upravičuje svoj vzdevek skalpel. Živahno vleče radije in oddaja določeno živčnost, ki si jo lahko razlagamo kot divji značaj. Oprema je skoraj popolna - a le skoraj. Zakaj je treba doplačati za quickshifter, če je bil pri predhodniku serijski? Še toliko bolj je moteče, da prestavljanje gor in dol brez sklopke deluje gladko kot po maslu in da si človek ne bi želel brez njega.
