The Duke was KTM's first street bike and its first supermoto, built by taking an off-road single and putting it on a road-biased chassis with large-diameter wheels and sporty tyres. This 1995-96 version is the original 620 Duke, shown as a concept in 1993 and sold from 1994. It is a light, high-revving single aimed at riders who want off-road character on tarmac.
