The reputation of KTMs in India has been tarnished by the stupid squids. However, the global reputation that they hold is impeccable in terms of outright performance and affordability.
The motorcycle is huge, but also compact at the same time. Absolutely truly said. I own it and although it looks huge, it feels very compact. Also I am 5'7" and the seat height is never a problem. I don't know why mainstream reviewers don't mention this particular thing. They are always scaring people by saying, the seat height of 855 mm is very high and short riders can't ride it.
I have always been sceptical about Duke's, especially the way they are ridden in the country.
But your video changes my POV
