A nova Duke também tem um núcleo insanamente duro. Com o dinheiro poupado - a nova Duke é significativamente mais barata do que a antiga Duke R - com um pequeno investimento pode voltar a construir uma verdadeira máquina de corridas KTM e levar os pilotos nipónicos ao desespero.
Yamaha XSR700 2015
Com a XSR700, a Yamaha voltou a acertar no jackpot. O visual retro com elementos modernos é atualmente muito popular entre os clientes.
