- We had the opportunity to take out the 2017 KTM 690 Duke, the big brother of the 390 Duke, and it certainly didn't disappoint!
Who said small bikes aren’t fun! Thanks our friends at JD Racing in Saltash we took out the KTM 690 DUKE, and it didn’t disappoint! So much fun packed into another small bike!

Thanks for the quick run through the menu options. I think this in something most reviewers leave out.
thanks matey, although it was quite basic as the controls and menus are quite basic, but thanks for the comments. Ride Safe :)
The best 690 review!

Great video Mr Toby. Sound is much improved on the commentary. Great little bikes bikes me thinks...
thanks Mr Mark... Yeah great little bike :)
Very helpful. Looking at possibly purchasing a used 2017. Thank you.
I did buy a 2017. Love it. Can’t wait until spring.
2:10 the gear lever is very reminiscent of a dirt bike lever, designed to kind of "slam shift" it like you would on an mx/enduro bike. I quite enjoyed the gear lever position
...also, you need to move the gear lever a little high to squeeze your boot under it. Adventure, or dirt boots tend to be quite thick.
Got a2018 very good ride
Nice review
+Brad Bilski thanks matey :)
I want to know where you buy your petrol at those prices. Great review, lovely bike.
Now four years later those navigations are built in to the tft screen!
I love that 690 duke
It is a great bike indeed :)
With a suspension upgrade this bike rips in any color
Great review! I bought the 2017 model and absolutely. Love. It! The rear-views are ugly as sin, kinda look like Shrek's ears, but otherwise. Mint!! Go buy one.
I have a 2012 model (similar shape, pre update) and find the centre stand too long!! I have the opposite problem when parking. I wonder if it changed in the update?
+Glynn Taylor perhaps it did. Just a little longer for this one would have been great. :)
I'm looking forward to test ride this next week. This will determine a purchase or not...
hope it goes ok :)
RiderCamTV thank you. I had taken it for a test run today for around 4 hours. Negative point's quite twitchy, bike stand poor as peg obstructing, vibrations. Plus brakes, styling, sound. Disappointing as I had high expectations. I'm hoping KTM 790 will be better
@@RiderReview Did you get the 790?
@bubbajones6907 no. After the test riding the 790 for a few days, it felt lt cheap and unsteady.
693cc !
How is the engine vibration? I've seen other reviews where they mentioned the vibration traveling though the bars and all
+rahjr65 didn't notice anything out of the ordinary matey, a little vibe but nothing that I thought about when riding it :)
+fred morrison agreed :)
What about cruising speeds and mpg?
At cruising speeds im sure it would be fine. Was certainly good at 60mph. The mpg is good too but I can’t recall the exact figures but I remember it because my good :)
How tractable is the engine, please? No Led?
+1990 very. :)
My bike got stolen in Luton. Insurance company being a pain. This has put me off owning a bike.
+Fire Blade890 that’s not good news mate. Don’t let them win! Once a biker always a biker :)
