Info on the '16 Duke and Duke R is out

http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/ktm/2016-ktm-690-duke-690-duke-r-first-ride-review.html

Of course the R isn't coming to the US again. 

LC4 got a real going over - two counterbalancers to tame even more vibes, bigger bore, shorter stroke (no displacement change) and more.

Dash goes to TFT, electronics upgrades and more

Bigger bore, shorter stroke with no displacement cash l change is always a good thing.

Probably will make more power.

Oh yeah... and 1,000 more revs

"In addition to the internal engine changes, the power delivery is massaged by the 50mm ride-by-wire throttle body and the resonator chamber attached to the intake tract which helps tune the power pulses within the engine. When combined with the ride-by-wire throttle and dual spark plugs (with separate ignition maps for each plug), the resulting power production (a claimed 7% increase to 73 hp and a 6% gain in torque to 54 lb-ft) comes across the entire rpm range and has had its rev limit increased by 1,000 rpm."

There's a bunch of internal finesse stuff beyond the bore/stoke change to free up some power

Which makes me really curious about the rumored 800'ish twin plant they are working on. If they are getting 73 hp out of a 700cc single... and 800 twin might be TASTEY!

That thing would be death on the dirt...unless you are one BAD ASS dirt rider. Hell, my 400XCW could become a handful very quickly...at probably 1/2 the weight, and 1/3 the horsepower of that beast!
