The Culy Machine
Sixteen years ago, ambitious engineers presented
the result of their deliberations on a completely
new motorcycle for ultimate fun on bendy roads. It
was neither a classic off-roader nor a standard roadhomologised
sports bike; it was the Duke.
A long-distance machine that is just as unconventional
and unique in its third model generation as it was
when first developed. The current 2010 Duke model
is driven by a bullish four-stroke engine with 65
HP (48 kW), one of the most powerful road-approved
single cylinders.
The lightweight trellis frame, the fully adjustable
WP chassis components and the powerful Brembo brake
system make riding this easy-to-handle machine pure
pleasure. The butted light alloy handlebar, the ultra-light
multi-functional cockpit and the compact halogen twin
headlights highlight the passion for technology and
design which KTM traditionally uses to set itself
aside from the competition.
