The KTM 390 DUKE is a pure example of what draws so many to the thrill of street motorcycling. This Corner Rocket maximizes enjoyment and user value, taking the honors wherever nimble handling counts. Light as a feather, powerful and packed with state-of-the-art technology, it guarantees a thrilling ride, whether you're fighting your way through the urban jungle or carving your name into a forest of bends. The KTM 390 Duke produces 44 horsepower and 27.2 pound-feet of torque. Such numbers place it near the upper edge of the A2 envelope, just the thing for budding young fiery-eyed peg draggers. Liquid cooling lends it some stamina, though test pilots report a bit of fade right near the end of a long track day. This is a much harder scenario than you can possibly visit upon it on public roads so the fade may not be apparent to the normal rider. The forced-cooling fan prevents overheating in stop-n-go traffic. A 46 mm throttle body feeds the little beastlet. Like its Super Duke sibling, it runs dual over-head cams with long-wearing carbon-coated followers to actuate the quartet of poppets. Power flows through a slipper-type clutch that adds a measure of insurance for the rear contact patch. It then passes through a close-ratio transmission that ensures solid holeshots and blistering acceleration after an apex. A chain-type final drive puts the power to the pavement with an overall drive ratio that turns in a KTM 390 Duke top speed of 103.7 mph (167 km/h). Perhaps this is a good time to mention its secondary purpose, that of a race bike proper if you have access to a track with a small-displacement scene. This bike is a stock example except for the windscreen. Like all our bikes this will be fully serviced, inspected and detailed at the time you take delivery.
