Here’s a lovely little gallery of the 2010 KTM Duke 690 R, with a higher performance motor than the standard Duke 690 version.
The increase of 36 cc takes the 654cc motor up to its namesake of 690.
The bore and stroke was increased to achieve this, and the compression ratio was subsequently modified, achieving another 5 hp extra, with the Duke 690 R now having a total of 70 hp.
Some carbon fibre elements feature, and the colour is the classic KTM orange.
The Duke 690 R has a dry weight of 150 kg, and should prove to be a lot of fun.
It costs about 9,350 euros, depending on the market.
