It just gets worse.     I bet the thing sells for over $20K here and they'll sell every last one of them.

Got a question for you Orange People .
Buddy has a 2012 Duke 690, but lost his manual. What is that adjustable, numbered dial under the passenger seat for? ABS, power modes? His is set on 0.

The KTM manuals in PDF form are online from KTM - he can just download a copy.
Hell, I've got a copy on my phone.

Thanks SP. I'll let him know.

Talking to Superplush suspension never ends well for my wallet. New shock collar, new springs and possible re-valve for my SMC>Enduro conversion project.

[Monsterlover]

Money spent on suspension is never money misspent.

[DarkMonster620]

Test rode the "Duke 125" . . . hard to believe it's a 125 !!!

Might have lowest grade Brembo components but, they do a pretty good job . . . but, $4800

Money spent on suspension is never money misspent.

Well its a lot of "never money misspent" money 

But i will have a SMC and Better than Enduro spec 690 with custom tuned forks for each. 17" wheels for on road and 21/18" off.

[Monsterlover]

Cheaper than 2 bikes
