4-17 Update: This KTM Duke 620 got no love at $3,800, but it’s back up for sale at the same opening bid
KTM has always enjoyed a reputation for making some of the best off-road bikes out there, but in recent years they’ve also taken on the status of a premiere supermoto manufacturer, as well. This all started in the mid 90’s with the Austrian firm’s first stock supermoto, the KTM Duke 620.
Featuring the venerable LC4 engine, you’re looking at 55 hp, 40 mpg, and most importantly, only 320 lbs of bike to toss around. These are truly some of the most fun you can have on two wheels. We’ll leave it to Cycle World:
DO NOT BUY THIS MOTORCYCLE. DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
Steer clear. Move on before it’s too late. Turn the page. Nothing good can come of it. KTM’s Duke, the first pure streetbike the tiny Austrian firm has sold in the U.S., is a diabolic device that will land you in hot water quicker than Senator Bob Packwood at a panty raid. This bike is 609cc worth of stonkin’ Single that lives for three things and three things only: 1) wheelies, 2) stoppies and 3) rorty romps through the gearbox. The meek may inherit the Earth, but they won’t be riding around on KTM Dukes.

This specific KTM Duke 620 is in a black/red paint scheme that I almost never see. With just 8,000 miles on the odometer, you’ve got plenty of life left, and it comes with plenty of extras including a HMF stainless muffler, and the OEM goodies like Brembo brakes and White Power suspension.
