Duke 690 R

[Crissis]

I've put 100 km on the bike today. It's really great stuff. I love the way it behaves but some jerkiness below 3500 rpm. i'm running on map nº3 (mid) for breaking in and so far the bike is behaving great.

will keep the thread going.

I just checked the KTM Canada site and see the 690R available over there...WTF?
Sent and email to KTM IR and got plain answer, the R is not exported to the US, only the 690. I guess KTM do not want my $$$ I will keep the DD until KTM will bring the R

I'm sorry to hear that the R won't be coming to the USA yet again in '11. I was planning on trading my '10 in on one this spring. Like you said, I guess they don't want our money. On the other hand I'm really happy with my 654 version and it'll prevent me from losing a lot of money trading in a 1 year old bike.

Hi all, will getting Duke R next week, heared from my good friend that already riding the R, the single pot sound was incredible, he said that even the harley groups talking each others. The R easily can do the POP sound when decelerate. Coooolllll

[sellidra]

Huh?! POP Sound? I think my fart is louder..

[Crissis]

stock sound is ****. Start thinking of an aftermarket pipe if you want to hear something.
