    Lo and behold - One and only reason tall guys can't ride a KTM! Just look at him, that arm position is totally impractical for riding motorcycles, it maybe okay for riding a scooter though. I adore KTM and wish to buy one but I get severely cramped atop all KTM motorcycles due to my height being 6'3".

    Is there any possibility KTM will make/launch a relaxed and longer motorcycle in the sports-tourer category?
    The Adventure 390 is gonna come soon.
    And the Vitpilen is also being tested.
    For the first time in decades I feel nice to be a 5'6" tall. [emoji28]

    The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place. It will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it.

Then catching a 4:50 AM flight. 2 hours of flight time in cramped seats (at least for me). And then an hour of drive in a cramped car (again, at least for me). These things are irritating and even more so for the vertically gifted like me. Now, what is a motorcycle? Something that can bring a smile to the edgy man’s face. The edgy man is me, and the motorcycle, KTM 125 Duke.
      Is the suspension and breaking right on the mark? Does the excessive driving makes the engine noisy?

        Will there be dual channel abs version in duke? Is it good for off-road track?

          The suspension felt pretty good on the track i.e. mostly smooth tarmac. How it will handle less than ideal remains to be seen.
          Braking is adequate and mostly on point.
          Dual-channel ABS version we cannot be sure of but its highly unlikely.
          Mild off-roading may be alright but that's about it. Can't be thrown around like ADVs.
