I wasn't planning on it, I swear! Kinda strange how things work out sometimes. I was planning on getting a completely different bike but this opportunity came up and I couldn't let it pass. I got myself a 2020 KTM 890 Duke R, "The Super Scalpel". And my lord, a scalpel it is! This thing rips around corners with such precision and ease, it's unreal. Only 406 lbs wet! It has an 890cc parallel twin, the crankpins are offset by 75º with a 435º firing interval, 13.5:1 compression; this thing rips! KTM claims 121 hp and 73 ft/lb. It pull so hard in the low and mid range, it's a giggle factory for sure
Anyway, I know it's not a Yamaha, but I'm excited and I thought I'd share with my fellow parallel twin lovers. I'm looking for excuses to ride
