The third generation Duke 690 does not have a single part that is the same as on the original Duke. Compared to the first model, this is a completely different motorcycle. Yet at the same time, it is exactly the same motorcycle. A motorcycle that offers everything we want when riding; that demands the pure essence of riding. But with the options now available to us nearly 20 years later. With the new Duke 690 R, we have pushed the design's technological possibilities to the limit and set a milestone in the history of Dukes. The most powerful series single-cylinder in the world with a precision-made chassis and a plethora of highly refined components never before seen in this class.
