I had a chance to test ride it last weekend, it's fun and very agile. Loved it! I passed bigger bikes on the outside on turnabouts. So much fun, try it you'll love it. It's easy to ride and looks and sounds good too
I just tested the new 690 and I couldn't even tell it was a thumper soooo smooth.....the torque reminds you it is though haha. I also hit a false neutral as well it only happened once and could have been me just not used to shifting ktms. All in all I'll probably own one when my dealer gets a shipment in april to give my sumo some company. and that dash tho i almost wrecked just gazing at its awesomeness.
Love this video! Watching it almost everyday, just to get the feeling of riding the bike (Have bought a 2016 690 Duke R) Will pick it up any day now from the dealer!! Fun fun FUN!! :D
Again a very nice video from you! I love it :D! You should also test the new 690 Duke R. The breaks are better than on the normal 690 Duke and the Suspension is harder, which is good for cornering!! Oh and dont forget the Akrapovic and the +2 HP :)
My next purchase believe it or not has been a struggle between the VFR 800 and the Duke 690R, all because of the flair, fun and agility of the KTM. Despite the fact that I commute daily on highways, averaging 100km daily. Wind and rain protection are the other disadvantage yet when I look at that orange set up, I forget about all that. Confused!!!
good review! I'm seriously considering a duke R 690, I loved my yamaha wr250x, this just seems to be a natural choice for a full feature middleweight. I love how it has abs and selectable ride modes and traction control. Perfect commuting/hooligan weapon! 👹
Will this bike be updated? It looks older in comparison with the 125, 390 and 1290... I wanted to buy it but after the presentation of the new models I don't like the design.
It's time to me to came back into a monocylinder, this one is the last before the new parralel coming. Witch means this is the final edition of the lc4 for road using friendly. I really have to test it !
Thank you very much for this lovely film! One of the best, I really enjoyed it. :-) I tried the Duke 690 yesterday and boy, that bike is really sweet! What exhaust would you recommend? Just a slipon or a full system? Which one? Again, thanks for a perfect review! John
Very kind of you, thank you :) Well, of course I would recommend to get full system for better sound weight reduction and get a nice remapping. But I'm sure some guys that wear a lot of blue wouldn't agree...
Hi, really enjoyed this, tested one earlier this week and looking at buying one tomorrow. Only concern is ability to cruise around 120kph on motorways, can anyone suggest a good screen that isn't too ugly?
Hello , just a mistake in your comment, the suspension are not fully adjustable , to have fully adjustable suspension you have to buy the 690 R or the 690 SMC-R ;)
great review ! you dont speak alot of nonsense but only write the essential stuff on screen. and even though you dont speak in your riding reviews you get me to laugh while watching your videos. By the way that thank you for wahatching got me too, i dont know why but that error creeps into so much videos.. mine to ^^ keep up the great work !
hmm, about the false neutral, I have never had it on my bandit 600, daytona 675(quickshifter) or rfv400. So it does not happen to all bikes :P but holy moly what a cool dash. like on the new r1 and panigale, so exclusive.
Very good test lil bit short but dont worry still very complete dude ! Ah merde je me mélange niveau langues 😜 non vraiment très propre le petits test comme toujours 😉
+Le Canard Enragé Y a pas énormément de français bilingue je remarque x). Vous apprenez l'anglais à l'école ?

just one question. how would you compare the new 690 duke to the Triumph street triple, or wich one do you prefer?
Will this bike be updated? It looks older in comparison with the 125, 390 and 1290...
I wanted to buy it but after the presentation of the new models I don't like the design.
It does look like it handle nicely. Ride safe.
I am convinced ! I'll be surprised if I find another bike I would rather get. Thanks !

Vraiment pas mal cette duke , belle présentation 👌🏻

Ok, thank you! Yes, one would think that they have enough to do elsewhere, but to bother us poor chaps! ;-)
How's the exhaust sound compared to Z800?
Hi, really enjoyed this, tested one earlier this week and looking at buying one tomorrow. Only concern is ability to cruise around 120kph on motorways, can anyone suggest a good screen that isn't too ugly?
I was gonna buy a ducati but seeing this, think im gonna go for this new baby ;-)

+Philippe Rodrigues Oh yes, you are right ! Sorry, my bad.Thanks for correction
+Le Canard Enragé nevertheless , awesome video ;)

Il est propre le compteur sérieux

+gigambo263 Cheers mate ! I'll make sure I do !
Hi! I like so much your test drive, can you make one with ktm duke 125??
nice vid. still got lot of power for its 7xhp. this thing with gearbox happend to me a lot with my 990SM ^^
Merci pour ta vidéo... Mais pourquoi des commentaires en anglais???
Pourquoi pas le prendre pour des grands rides?
hmm, about the false neutral, I have never had it on my bandit 600, daytona 675(quickshifter) or rfv400. So it does not happen to all bikes :P
but holy moly what a cool dash. like on the new r1 and panigale, so exclusive.
Better than the Ducati ones! ;)
I am thinking of buying a KTM 690 Duke 2013 model and I would realy appreciate if you could tell me if it is a good bike?
+The Oskki Sure. Great bike.
+Le Canard Enragé Okey great, Thank you. This would be my second bike but first naked one. So I am looking for a good and fun bike.
Le Canard Enragé And how is it for long rides?
I heard it gots lots of vibrations
Yeah i know that, but how bad is it? Can you take it for a long ride?
nice review
Great Vid, I enjoyed it.
Super ta vidéo!
Merci bien :-)

what happened at 2:00!! was that a close call?
Nah, went on the speed bump side ways to decrease the shock
I love the song...Song Name?
Le compte tour ... est vraiment fabuleux ... :o
