KTM 690 Duke R

⚠️ Things to consider

• Limited Wind Protection: The KTM 690 Duke R has a minimal fairing design, which means it offers little wind protection for the rider, making long highway rides less comfortable.
• Stiff Suspension: While the suspension setup is great for aggressive riding and handling, it can be quite stiff for everyday use, leading to a harsher ride over bumps and rough surfaces.
• Vibration Issues: The single-cylinder engine can produce noticeable vibrations, which may lead to discomfort during longer rides or on less-than-smooth roads.
• Fuel Range: With a relatively small fuel tank, the fuel range is limited compared to other motorcycles in its class, potentially requiring more frequent stops on longer journeys.
• High Seat Height: The seat height can be challenging for shorter riders, making it difficult to reach the ground comfortably at stops, which could affect confidence and control.
