I picked up this Duke a few months back when I was out looking for a sport bike. I had previously owned two Yamaha R6 but also rode mini motards on Karting tracks, Motocross and Hare Scrambles. I decided to stop into the KTM dealer and I sat on the Duke 690. It felt like all those bikes rolled into one. I checked out the Ducati dealer afterwards and sat on the Monster, but it was a clear choice to get the Duke. I immediately broke it in then took it to the track. It was my first Track Day ever and I had an absolute blast! It's just as fast as any sport bike in the corners so I was never in the way, however the straights is where I got passed at 200mph when I was going 105mph. I didn't mind though, because that meant there was no one to block the corners when I was going in hot. I've gone on a few group rides and have had no problems keeping up with the liter bikes. This is the funnest bike! Wish there were more toys to put on it.

Indeed, except summer there is a lot of rain. Undeveloped neighborhoods are fun too!
