KTM 690 DUKE HITS THE ROAD IN 2012

[Stavrosqq]

2012 Epic KTM FAilure.. Nothing can be compared with the WHITE 690 of 2008! Thumbs up if you agree

[emotioneering]

Definitely a big departure from the previous model so will clearly not please the 2011my fans. But as Duke 125 rider about to take his test, this is absolutely perfect for my first 'proper' bike! Thank you KTM

[TheSuperComments]

i wanted to ride this so bad and then i wanted to die in an accident with it!

next time sure! :B

[DooMeis94]

In one word? SUCK

[ObelixQualityMenhirs]

Anyone knows the price?

I'm curious how much the 2011 Duke will cost once 2012 hits the road...

[InvisileMan2869]

Sure the old 690 duke was very pretty, but i'm loving the new one. Looks awesome and as far as can tell at 0:21 it sounds great as well! Nice work KTM, keeping things interesting!

[jayrabara]

This is Very WRONG Idiots!!!

[jayrabara]

Wheres the Original DUKE 690??????? bring them back, this one is fking horrible what the hell is wrong with you KTM????

[morlaquinho84]

i luv KTM bikes

[IBangedPrincessPeach]

make a duke 350 plz.

[wewoninrotterdam]

What have KTM done? I saw this at the bike show. Horrible. I wont be buying another duke until a complete restyle. Hope they realise this styling will alienate most potential customers.

[ObelixQualityMenhirs]

I was keen on this bike for some time now (since I had a test ride), and was hoping to buy one this year. I have no doubt the new bike is better, however the looks put me off so I'll be shopping for the 2011 model. Hope to get a real bargain within 6 months.

[PktMma]

I have a hard time understanding why they changed the design to a (formerly) fantastic looking bike.

[InternetOnTheGo7Mbps]

This design is not as innovative as the 2008 was. And abs? What's going on KTM? Crisis?

[SGRMKN]

欲しい

[rickyramjet]

Hope KTM bring this to the Brussels Motor Show, need to see it in the flesh and try it on for size... looks great on paper, pure motorcycling.

[benny332]

yuck, at least the old ones will come down in price

[Hondo621]

meh, i like the style of the 2010 - 2011 models...

[PersonalRaineri]

Maybe this one is designed for the young ones riding their 125 dukes at the moment. Lame design imo.

[RicardoSS85]

The headlight looks absolutely ridiculous, like a cheap chinese bike. Total fail from KTM.

[monegasque]

@RicardoSS85 100% with you

[stratusliner]

Has Joachim Sauer seen this? What happened to the Duke 690R? Where is my KTM? Please...

[pastrana200688]

thank god i bought my duke 3 years ago :D....that's not a duke anymore...total fail!

[luchetto1986]

i love this bike..if you want a motard get a supermoto..or a dorsoduro..

[214matze]

omg this duke looks so fucking shit like the 125 -_-

[worlddxb]

the old head light were amazing and unique! why change it?

[Andreafusto]

Kiska was fired....

[smcmannen]

I could do a better job driving that bike!

[SHPELE89ZG]

WHERE IS DUKE ON THIS VIDEO!?!? VERY DISAPPOINTED..........

[Antipico]

@SHPELE89ZG

I agree! I think Duke 2 was the last true supermoto in the Duke series, and that's what the Duke used to be about: street fitted supermoto

[younoldindefatigable]

No Bueno, looks like crap they changed all the unique features about the old duke, and added more weight. The 690smr looks nice though.

[Tyrano824]

WTF?? It looks like the bloody 125...

[cdo1uk]

thats just plain nasty looking.... the Duke is gone

[Axxis171]

Seems like the jury is split on this one. Personally I love the looks and never liked the previous version.

[colacin]

I'm even happier with my 2011 690R right now... that looks way too much like the 125 and way too fussy.

[TheTonicro]

looks like duke125, that sucks

i'm sure it will be fantastic bike it is just a shame that it looks like 125 version, current model looks much better

[robotixkun]

@TheTonicro this looking is awesome man! more supermotard like to ride than current one

[TheTonicro]

@robotixkun well if you want an sm, you got 690sm

[robotixkun]

@TheTonicro but this one is much more comfortable looking after a daily bike, to do roadtrips and all that than a straight SM

anyway, maybe you can get brand new both versions

[dominique5462]

nice bike

[1CICCONZ]

BELLO!!!! Really nice and exciting :-)

[ShadowEnduro]

Whoa! Great!

[aronreyn]

The 690 adventure would have been much more exciting.... how many more years do we have to wait ???

[Antipico]

@aronreyn LC4 and LC8 adventures both excist.. Why would you want an undertuned 690 in an adventure bike?

[XPsychowaffleX]

@Antipico Its not an adventure. Its not meant for off road. Its a street bike, not a dual sport

[aronreyn]

@Antipico Sorry but you are not right. The LC4 Adventure does not exist. You have got to buy a lot of aftermarket parts to make one. Like this one ktmcapetown(dot)co(dot)za/?p=3­172. It really sucks that KTM has not build this bike after all those years. They have all those parts. And know they come out with something like this...

[Gilleke1510]

what will be price for this?

[AccidentalBroadcast]

I kind of want to buy a duke but also kind of want to buy a drink and hit the dance floor : )

[hansmustermax88]

find die neue doof :P pott blöder, maske net duke typisch :P

[dankpta]

Eu quero uma... hehehe

[TheDhfreerider]

Great Video KTM!

[KrliB]

[Darktoxic0]

Real cool bike!
