Any other Gromers secretly lusting for the Duke to come to the states? I feel so dirty.

Neat looking bike and I am a KTM fan in general but just can't deal with their prices and limited dealership network compared to the "Big Four." I have Yam/Hon/Kaw dealers five minutes from my house. Couple years ago was in the "local" KTM dealer (45 min away) with money in my pocket to buy a new 450. But after looking at it in person and getting a feel for it I just did not feel it was worth the extra $$$ to me. On the way home I stopped and picked up a new WR450F for about $2500 less and I have never regretted that purchase.

But yes it looks great and probably will perform a bit better than the Grom.
Too much going on IMO.. Looks like they just kept adding more and more edgy lines

Also the Grom is more like an urban curb hopper and the KTM is like a naked baby sport bike

Would love to ride a KTM Duke 125. But until they decide to release to the US...The Grom will do.

The only thing i dont like about the KTM is the fact size wise its a normal bike. It just does not have the small bike appeal to me as the grom. Nice bike tho
The 690 is gnarly. Ktm makes a good product and i really hope that we get the 390 first not the 125.
As loyal as I am to the Grom, I think if they brought the 390 over, I would have to get one!!! :X

I was very interested in the 125 but as I did more research I found that they will be bringing the Duke 390 to the US and now that is what I'm planning on adding to the stable with the Grom :)

I put up a forum here if anyone else is interested: Forums - KTM 390 Duke Forum
if it was the size of the grom I'd be all over it but its too underpowered for a full size bike, looks cool though
