I really, really love my ’09 Duke 690. But my other bike is a ’11 Versys and, well, I miss not having a liter-bike. There, I said it. I’ll take a 1200 Super Duke in a minute.

It’s about time the market is being brought something small. Im getting tired of big engined, slow handling machines. Going fast and enjoying a nice windy road has nothing to do with displacement.

An 1190 superduke would be incredible!! Although the 990 was enough an extra 200 would just be that much more fun… Simply a cool factor in my mind no real purpose other than to be bigger and badder

KTM(with Bajaj) is launching a 200cc duke this year end in India and they are planning to launch a 350 cc by next year, so definitely a 350 cc duke is in pipeline for masses.

I will never buy a KTM. I will never forget how they betrayed Kenny Roberts and his GP team in a way that was so nasty it made the “KING” shut the whole operation down.
I VOTE WITH MY $$$$ I hope they go out of bussiness.

I’ve heard (from highly reliable sources) that KTM is done with the v-twin business. They’re moving everything to parallel twins. I know, it makes me sad too, but I think that’s where things are headed, if you are to believe it. We shall see…

Check the COMPLETE Slide in question here… Maybe is just Plastics…maybe not(DFI)…maybe is just wish(fool) thinking (pretty sure is that last one)…matters not to me.

KTM has been known for having 2S DFI Mules for sometime now testing before the Pyramids were built…they just haven’t feel the REAL pressure from the market to THROW it out there on our greedy hands. Nope…no hard evidence…pure speculation.

The KTM 200 Duke coming to Manila as of this writing , so ktm says but priced like the kawasaki Ninja 650 twin. Make the 350 into a 450 SuperDuke at that same 350 price and they might just sell.
