Conclusion on the new Duke 990
The new KTM 990 Duke packs a punch. The rascal twin has become even more powerful, especially in the mid-rev range. Equipment, quality and finish are superb. Above all, the operation has benefited from the new switches and the new cockpit. All in all, a real fun rocket at an ambitious price.The test bike was kindly provided to us by Motorrad Ruser from Haseldorf. There is the new Duke as a presenter - and not only him. The new giant hall of Motorrad Ruser (near Hamburg) is full of the most beautiful KTM's and Yamaha's, a visit is always worthwhile. If only because of the equally excellent coffee machine. Tip: Cappuccino. Let's go to Haseldorf !
