The 2012 Duke was a new-generation 690 with a reworked cylinder head, dual spark plugs, a drive-by-wire throttle and a Brembo radial front caliper. It has a larger 14-litre tank, a seat and riding position about 30 mm lower, and a 10,000 km service interval. The page presents it as a lightweight, do-it-all single with cheaper running costs.
