KTM 890 Duke
#1
Most of you know that I'm rarely at a loss for words, but WTF?  

I've never ridden anything with this combination of weight vs horsepower/torque.  It's literally a Goldilocks motorcycle for us.

Thanks Phil for letting me ride your Duke 890 R in Tennessee.  You're such a MF'er.  

We now have two KTM in our garage.  Dawn bought a new '22 Duke 890 GP and I bought a new '23 Duke 890 R.

We just returned home from a great day of break-in miles.  325 miles to be exact.  I'd say all but 100 miles were quality miles getting to/from some of our interesting roads down in Buffalo County, Wisconsin.

Unbelievable how easy the mid-size Duke is to steer, brake, accelerate, change direction.  More review to follow.

I'll be doing first service on Dawn's tomorrow morning.
I ride '19 R1250GSA, '23 KTM Duke 890 R, '23 Yamaha Xmax 300
My wife rides '20 R1250GS, '22 KTM Duke 890 GP, '19 Yamaha Xmax 300
