Quick Pics of my new KTM 690 Duke
« on: June 28, 2009, 11:38:37 pm »
Well I've been riding since I got the bike on Friday.  Did 200kms of two-up riding with Import Queen on the back, too.  I went hardcore riding on Saturday (MANY gravel/dirt roads) and flat out wailed on the bike.  Even ridden like that, I still managed 55 US MPG (4.2L/100kms).  So far so good!  Lotsa of fun...light, and a great engine!

Here's a few pics:

Very nice!  :thumbup:  :thumbup:  :thumbup:
 
How are those tires in the gravel? They don't look very dirt-worthy to me, but since I don't see any road rash on the bike, I guess they must work okay.  ;D

I have done supermoto for quite some time.  At some tracks, you race with those tires in dirt sections!!

On the gravel they are fine...I mean..you won't be carving up the corners, but for blasting down the road, they are fine.
