KTM 690 Duke 2018

Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.

MT-07 je čudovit zabaven stroj, ki je izjemno športen za vožnjo. Zavore imajo močan zagon, motor pa je trenutno daleč najbolj agilen agregat v tem razredu - in morda celo v višjem razredu. Lahkotno upravljanje se odlično prilega, podvozje pa predstavlja razumljiv kompromis med udobjem in športnostjo - kar nas opozarja, da naj bi cenovno dostopni MT-07 imel veliko ponuditi tudi začetnikom. Le oblika s halogenskimi žarometi in običajnimi vilicami je precej staromodna.
