5.0 overall·Reviewed by Helen·Experienced
Quick take
"This bike is super versatile, fast agile and comfortable."
Personal notes
An oldy but a goody. This bike is a great find...super lightweight, plenty of power (nicknamed the scalpel) with KTM reliability. I have owned plenty of big bikes but this little single cylinder Duke really delivers.
What I loved
- * Lightweight 150kgs
- * Single cylinder (low maintenance
- * Comfortable riding position
- * Punchy power delivery
- * Easy slow speed control
- * Good quality Brembo brakes
- * Good quality Mangura clutch
- * Handles well in the twisties
What felt challenging
- * High seat ( can be converted with a lowering kit)
- * Levers have limited adjustment for small hands
