Inazuma, which when translated from Japanese means ‘Lightning’, should not be ideally the name given to bikes that would be deserved by a practical and tame bike.

The bike comes with twin parallel 250cc engines having liquid cooling and fuel injection. Six-speed transmission has been provided to the bike. Though there has been no declaration about the performance capabilities of the bike, the SOHC motor is optimized for mid-range to low levels of performance.

With 90% of the bike being completely brand new, KTM says the new 690 Duke brings the Austrian company back to its street-naked roots, with an off-road influence of course.

For 2012, KTM have completely revamped the 690 Duke, a motorcycle that still defies conventional categorisation. The 690 Duke will be whatever you want it to be – a midsize supersports machine, a streetfighter, supermoto or whatever else you fancy.
