Seen this earlier today and I'm really liking what KTM has done to this bike. I'll probably pick one up in a couple years.

Sadly, the only Duke I'll probably be able to afford is the new 390. At least she's a looker as well.

With aggressive sprockets, that will make a fun city bike, just don't know how affordable it is considering it's only a 390

I don't think there is an MSRP out on it yet. But I agree, that bike would be a blast to ride. I imagine the torque coming from the twin would be good enough to see back roads as well.

Not a fan of the headlight but for I would use it for, I wouldn't need a headlight anyways. Regardless it would make it a great hooligan bike.

KTM a few steps forward than any other brand only issue is Dealer support

BLUETORI · 11-15-2012, 10:44 AM

Bike sounds nice but looks horrible with that short tail other than that I like the mechanicalness.

Yes please! Who wants to buy me one?

Anx1ous · 11-15-2012, 02:26 PM

My gosh I like the barebones design. That stubby tail is beautiful and the single side swingarm on top? Sign me up.

Dynamic · 11-15-2012, 03:14 PM

A week on that thing and I'd loose my license for life.

Would like to own one if I ever get sick of riding SS bikes.

Maaku · 11-15-2012, 06:03 PM

Wow! That's awesome! Not sure about the short tail, but other than that, it looks great.

DynastySS · 11-15-2012, 06:20 PM

I don't think there's a headlight there at all, looks like a # plate.
