First Ride: 2012 KTM Duke 690 review
By Mark Forsyth on 26/01/2012 14:17:09
The Duke of Hurl
three race seasons just trying to beat the ACU noise test. It's for the above reasons that the new KTM Duke 690 amazes me. What they've done to this latest LC4 engine is incredible. If 72bhp and 70Nm of torque wasn't amazing enough from just one 690cc

First Ride: 2005 KTM Super Duke Review
By Niall Mackenzie on 30/03/2008 22:46:45
An Austrian brute pumped full of steroids is the only way to describe the first ever-pure streetbike from KTM. If Arnold Schwarzenegger was a bike he'd be the Super Duke...
that another three miles per hour and I would have hit the rev limiter in top gear. Which is as fast as you want to go considering the riding position.Continue the KTM Super Duke Review

The press' impressions of the 2012 KTM Duke 690
KTM have totally reworked their Duke 690 for 2012 with acceptable styling but has this taken away from the hooligan nature of the punchy single?Here's what the British motorcycling press said in their 2012 KTM 690 Duke reviews:"It may not have

Living with a 2007 KTM SuperDuke
By Niall Mackenzie on 23/03/2008 10:47:31
Niall Mackenzie's long term review of the KTM SuperDuke
. And into the creaking bones and skiddy roads of winter my Super Duke continues to be the faithful servant. More a workhorse than a plaything though as I trudge up and down the M40 to Heathrow and Gatwick on overseas jobs. Any travelling that involves the M25 has

Niall's Spin: KTM Duke II
By Niall Mackenzie on 28/09/2010 14:41:26
It might be light and peppy to start off with but the fun quickly dries up once you get started.
Click to read: KTM Duke II owners reviews, KTM Duke II specs and to see the KTM Duke II image gallery.The best road-going supermoto for most people. Light and peppy enough to be genuine fun but not a barking, service-every-300-miles, kick

CCM RM30, KTM 520EXC, KTM Duke II, VOR 503SM
By Stuart Barker on 19/04/2008 22:10:19
Chris Walker's used to sliding bikes but this is out of control. As he flashes into view, out of the forest behind, there's a violent, rasping bark from his KTM's carbon can as the bike slews sideways.
that earned him a factory Honda NSR500 in the first place, Walker flicks the KTM off the road and into a foot-wide grassy ditch, points it sort of forwards, and rides it out. How, we'll never truly know, but he does.Panic over. Until we take our eyes off

Every bit as good as we'd hoped...

First Ride: 2007 KTM 990 Super Duke
By Jon Urry on 02/04/2008 14:30:50
Small refinements make KTM's naked bike the must have accessory of 2007
Launched two seasons ago, KTM's 990 Super Duke knocked the spots off the naked opposition. And for 2007 it's even better.KTM hasn't altered the basic structure of the bike much. It still keeps the same 999cc, 75¡ V-twin engine, trellis chassis, WP

First Ride: 2008 KTM 990R Super Duke
By Jon Urry on 27/05/2008 23:08:28
Urry's been to Hungary to track test KTM's super spec Super Duke.
The new 990R Super Duke has been 'built for the love of it' say KTM. Which suggests there wasn't any need for this uprated Super Duke but we're glad it's here, because it's even better than the stocker.To be completely honest (it's the only way Jon

Bare Naked Ladies: Tuono, Super Duke, Brutale & Speed Triple
By Jon Urry on 12/10/2005 14:13:34
In search of naked satisfaction our lads strip down, strip off and head to the seediest street in Europe, Hamburg's Reeperbahn on the Aprilia Tuono Racing, KTM Super Duke, MV Brutale and Triumph Speed Triple
into bite-sized sections, a blessing on an unfaired bike. "That seat is so hard on the Triumph," reckoned Alex, "I've done 500km off-road in a day on the Dakar, so my arse is virtually made of leather, but this hurts!"Continue the Naked Road Test - 2/3
