Ubber-KOOL.

I'm waiting for the KTM 200cc here in Brazil. They said next year we should be seeing it in the streets. Just hope the price is right.

Talking about the 690 Duke, isn't 70HP a bit too low for this engine? Guess the ultra low weight will make it up anyway. KTM site says 67HP on this one btw.

^^The Duke...it's the highest performance single cylinder in the world.  No other single makes that kind of power...

With only one ignition per four cycles, it's hard to make big power with a single cylinder engine.  Two strokes double that up, but still make more power with more cylinders.

Hadn't see that it was a single cylinder, makes sense now.
