The 2003-04 Duke II keeps the 624 cc balancer single, steel cradle frame and WP suspension of the range. Its 1460 mm wheelbase and light weight gave it strong braking and quick turning, while the review noted weak touring comfort and a high price. It was a sporty supermoto for riders who prioritised handling over long-distance comfort.
