We can almost vouch that the 2013 KTM 390 Duke will be a hit, because it packs so many pluses that not becoming a major sales star would be truly disturbing.
First of all it's the KTM badge and bike-manufacturing heritage. With no KTM bike being a lousy ride so far, it's to be expected that the series of nasty bikes will not start with this one.
Secondly come the tech specs which make the 2013 KTM 390 Duke a truly coveted bike if middleweight fun is your game: a 370cc single-cylinder engine pumping out a massive 44 hp power rating is no toy and by all means can mean serious fun even for highly-experienced riders.
Then comes the standard ABS and the top-drawer WP suspension you just don't get with the average bikes and the fact that the 2013 KTM 390 Duke is manufactured in India by Bajaj so the expected price should be truly competitive.
And, save the best for last, the amazing 139 kg (306 lbs) weight which literally beats other bikes silly and will most likely make the 2013 KTM 390 Duke an unbelievably-maneuverable machine and a very fuel-efficient one.
