A 1997 listing of the same KTM 620 Duke street supermoto. The bike is a single-cylinder road machine built from KTM's off-road parts, with a competition-tuned engine that the reviewer found rough at low speed but full of character. Its kick-start only layout and tall gearing made it more of an enthusiast's bike than a practical commuter.
