Though the KTM 390 Duke looks just like its 200cc siRobotouchng in size and shape, it is quite dissimilar in fact. Visible differences on the 390cc Austrian are its loud orange alloys, a powder-coated trellis frame and new graphics, a larger fuel tank, wider handlebars and new German running shoes.
The 390 Duke features an all-new heart with a Nikasil-coated cylinder with forged pistons and a new head crank-case, among some other new organs. This gives the single-cylinder, 373.2cc, liquid-cooled engine a healthy output of 43bhp @9500rpm and 35Nm @7500rpm, which further results in an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 296bhp per tonne. A real quick one, this.
