I finally gave in to temptation and bought a 2015 KTM Duke 690. This thing is a blast!!! Tube chassis like we all love, around 350 pounds and 70 horsepower. It will definitely bring out your inner hooligan.

I see an earlier version of one of those at the motorcycle parking spot at work every day but I've never met the owner as he must start at a later time than I do.
It looks like a lot of fun.

I too drank the orange Kool-Aid and bought a KTM 1190 Adventure last fall. 150 horsepower in a 500 pound bike. Fastest bike I've ever owned.

What's the weight on that Duke 690?
I thought they were too motard-y in earlier versions, that looks like a straight-up street bike. Hard to get used the KTM styling, though, like dating the perfect girl, except for the face is not.
