KTM 790 Duke Prototype

Mmmmm. Want…

hopefully this will hold up to the hype surrounding it

for those who don’t like FB

Provide me with free training that gets me to be able to ride that bike to that standard, and I’ll buy two of them.

Not free but definitely worth it: http://www.stuntasylum.com/

it looks like a Rotax engine

same as the BMW F800r

Will be interesting what other bike they will stick that engine in.

I think it’s safe to assume they’ll be an ADV bike to compete with the tiger and a faired one to compete with the tracer

Not sure about the Tracer.  They had the 990SMT at the same price point, and the 990SM, 990SMR and they canned the whole lot, which is a crying shame.  In terms of large capacity bikes they have the SuperDuke, in 3 variants, and Adventure in two engines and a couple of variants.  The SMs just never sold that well.

I can see them doing something similar to the current 1090 range ie a 790 Adventure (road biased) and 790 Adventure R (off road biased), but you never can tell.

I hope they do a bigger capacity sportsbike than the RC390. Or a smaller Superduke so we don’t all have to ride around with our hair on fire on a 1290?

Seriously tempting. Need to actually test ride one though before I start splashing cash!
