Anyone have any experience with the 390 Duke? We are looking for one for my girlfriend. She was on my old M695 and that was a little too much. I think the lil duke fits the bill for looks(better than most ducs today  Cry ) and seems to have more than enough power to get into trouble. The dealers around here seem to have a few 2016s leftover

Unfortunately no FHE. But the couple folks I've come accross who have them quite liked them. If the are true to form with the bigger KTM singles, a little TuneECU tweaking is beneficial for low RMP, low throttle input situations - the ECU tends to hunt, and thus surge a bit. But are otherwise a good little single

Rode one on Thursday when the weather broke 60F in New England. Nice little bike, seating position is straight up and puts you in "command". The engine had some pretty good oumph and was more than adequate pushing a 240 lb rider around. My only complaints are that the LCD screen was a little hard to read at speed. And that the front brake is crap, the bite point is way too far in. It seemed i was always grabbing a handful just to come to a normal stop. Maybe they just needed to be beded in(this was a floor model and not a demo) or I'm just use to the brembos on the Ducs slowing my fat ass down. We will more probable than not be picking this one up. Thanks Panda.
