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.

Indeed it is

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

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

Super freakin hot!!!!

[DynastySS]

Yes please! Who wants to buy me one?

[Anx1ous]

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

[Dynamic]

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