KTM 2015 SPORTBIKE BUYERS GUIDE
The all-new RC 390, the return of the 1290 Super Duke R, and the 390 Duke joins the 690
Duke
| KTM 1290 Super Duke R | $?? |
|---|---|
| Engine: L-C 8V 1301 V-Twin Seat Height: 32.9 in. Wheelbase: 58.3 in. |
It comes from a family of hooligans, its prototype revelled in the nickname of "The Beast," and its blend of 180 hp, light weight, and raised one-piece handlebar sounds like a recipe for uncontrollable wheelies and general craziness. As youd expect of a bike that kicks out huge amounts of torque almost from idle and weighs just 417 pounds without fuel, the KTM is heart-stoppingly, arm-stretchingly fast.
| KTM 690 Duke ABS | $?? |
|---|---|
| Engine: L-C 4V 690 single Seat Height: 32.9 in. Wheelbase: 57.7 in. |
Fortunately for those who appreciate the Duke’s design and intent to satisfy, KTM brought the venerable 690 back to the States for 2014 and it returns for 2015.
