They did it
« on: October 29, 2013, 08:33:26 PM »
KTM likes thumpers.

The new RC 390, 147 kg, 43 HP.

Can you imagine the same frame with the 71HP 690 Duke engine ?

Not talking about the design (KTM did worse before), but about efficacity ...

Probably not a good idea putting the 690 in that frame - it was orginally built for the 125 and 200 Duke (then of course the 390 Duke, which is really nice.  I want one!)

that would be an 'out of the box' winner in supermono racing...
80bhp.. that make for a terrific power to weight ratio...
