Manufacturers profilation: Back then, KTM revived the pure, unadulterated single-cylinder motorcycle in the form of the ´original´ Duke. Judging by the latest 690 Duke that stands before us today, much has been gained: smoothness, room for a pillion passenger, long-distance ability.

Manufacturers profilation: This formidable flicking tool for absolute pros and connoisseurs also benefits from the same suspension. The “R” chassis is higher, with stiffer springs and more damping than the 690 Duke. But above all, it is widely adjustable in order to span the complete bandwidth, from a relaxed back-roads swing to no-holdsbarred race track mayhem.
