KTM Duke 690 opinions?
Anyone ever owned or ridden a Duke 690? Anything good or bad to say about them? As its a single cylinder does it vibrate your fillings out?

Re: KTM Duke 690
Not the brand new one, 2008-2011. They look ace but not sure what a single cylinder engine will ride like, I like the styling and the riding position I guess I'd get used to. Out of my "What bike to buy" list I have filed it in the "something different" section.
The list needs cutting down to be honest

Re: KTM Duke 690
I have seen a lot lately on the new model but the old model is a different kettle of fish altogether. I don't have £6500 to spend
