2016 KTM 690 Duke R

Do not underestimate this bike, just because it's 'only' a single. It's a far cry from the original 620 Duke, the bike that first took KTM from dirt specialist to tarmac shredder. ^This monster has 75hp from its single-cylinder LC4 engine an astounding power from a 690cc engine.This is the
R version so its got the
Akrapovic muffler, translucent air filter cover, fully adjustable WP springs, higher footpegs and seat height (by 30mm over the standard 690) as well as a Brembo M50 monobloc front brake calipers.^Thats some serious hardware for a bike weighing in at a claimed 147.5kg (dry), and the R version is certainly harder-edged than the standard Duke 690. The really clever bit, however, is that there are few compromises in this package.^It feels even easier to get off the line harder than a Super Duke because it is so light and manageable, and with a 'proper' electronics package backing you up (more on that later) and three engine modes to choose from, this is a bike more riders will feel comfortable riding hard.^Two balance shafts mean the bike's minimal vibrations are on par with multi-cylinder machines, and even sitting on the freeway at 110km/h feels effortless and smooth.^This superb powerplant sets up the 690 Duke R to be a more versatile bike than singles before it, as well as something that is simply fun to use due in no small part to its light weight. ^Brembo M50 front brake and Bosch 9M two-channel ABS is such a magnificent back-up, you feel confident in having a play with just how quickly you can stop the Duke. On a corner-whippet like this bike, an ABS system that works off lean angle to support braking deep into turns makes perfect sense. You can turn it all off, but there's little reason to. Non-intrusive, accurate, and silky smooth in operation.^The traction control is switchable but defaults to 'on' on startup..^Riders accustomed to dirt bikes will feel right at home with its dirt-bike-style ride position (tall 865mm seat height included). For this reason this small bike still suits tall riders.^With up to a 3 year warranty and the most competitive finance and insurance packages available, as Australia's largest motorcycle retailer no one makes it easier to purchase a used Motorcycle.
