KTM 690 Duke

⚠️ Things to consider

• Limited Wind Protection: The KTM 690 Duke features minimal bodywork, which can result in poor wind protection for longer rides, leading to rider fatigue at higher speeds.
• Firm Suspension: While the suspension is designed for sporty handling, it can be quite firm, making it uncomfortable for everyday riding or on rougher roads.
• Vibrations: The single-cylinder engine can produce noticeable vibrations, especially at higher RPMs, which may affect comfort during longer rides.
• Small Fuel Tank: With a relatively small fuel tank capacity, the 690 Duke may require more frequent stops for refueling, particularly on longer trips.
• Narrow Seat: The seat design is quite narrow, which can lead to discomfort during extended rides, especially for riders with a larger frame or those who prefer more cushioning.
