In just over a week I’ll be picking up a new steed, grabbing myself a 2017 KTM 390 Duke. They are a tonne of fun and pretty practical too and it’ll have mudguards so I’ll be able to ride it even when water is falling out the sky and stuff too!

September 10, 2017 at 10:45 pm #69856RadarModeratorEnjoy the first weekend on the KTM?
