Default Ktm duke 690

Cut a long story short. I'm in Spain on holiday, and I had the lend of a 2008 duke 690 for around 4 hours. Dear god it was fun to ride! And I think I might want one.
Anyway, I have wifi now so thought I might use it to ask if anyone in the uk is living with a 690 duke? What is it like for commuting/ weekend ride outs/ everyday trips to the shop etc?

I will do complete research when I get home but a rough idea of pros and cons from full time owners would help

It might be like the bird you shag on holiday and you swear you'll keep in touch, but when you get back you think....nah I can do better than that.

You want this one though I can tell.
