KTM Duke 390
  • Some of the panel gaps are a little too pronounced
  • H-rated Metzeler tyres feel a little squiggly when pushing the bike hard and the signature KTM orange colour option looks too garish in this model.

  • Definitely not get the Vitpilen it's a fun to drive

  • Yes, If good ground is your preference and you also intrested in occasional off roading.
