KTM 390 Duke Road Test Vs. The Best 250s

The KTM 390 Duke give props to the mad, bad 80s and 90s two-strokes that everyone loved. Except for me, because actually, I've not ridden a two stroke since my summer of 88 "incident" on the island of Corfu in Greece. Let's just say there was gravel and lots of road rash.

Now back to the 390 Duke... In this video, Motorcycle News in the UK, compares the new KTM 390 Duke against some of the best 2-strokes of the day. Favorite quote: "If you want to go to the shops for a pint of milk and make it an event, this bike's for you."

The RD 350LC - the original mad bastard machine. Personally, I'd love a KTM390 and can imagine it's all sorts of a handful. It's rare KTM make anything that's not an engaging ride.
