Another motorcycle for short people.

Meet the 2013 KTM 690 Duke.

Since I am short (5'3", 28" inseam) I define any motorcycle that I can ride as a motorcycle for short people*. Makes sense, right?

The new 690 from KTM was at Scuderia for just a short week. Luckily I was able to take it out for a spin! If you're looking for a mid powered sportbike with a super comfortable riding position, then this is what you're looking for. Priced at $8,999 she has plenty of power (more than you think) especially at lower rpms but still delivers a deliciously fun ride, fantastic cornering and an awesome riding position.

My outfit from head to toe: Shoei Qwest Goddess helmet, Alpinestars Vika jacket,Revit Summit gloves, Gaerne Rose boots.
