Note: For sale locally and ad can be deleted at any time if a local buyer comes through.

Clean title
23k miles (will go up slightly as I ride)
This bike is completely 100% stock. No FI lights. 
Filters/screens and oil were changed every 2500 miles w/ Motorex Cross Power 4T 10W-60

Asking $5200 OBO. Willing to negotiate. If you pick up locally w/ cash, I can reduce the price by a $100 since I'll be avoiding eBay.

This bike is very rare & sought after and that is why the asking price is what it is. Uber light at 305 pounds dry with fully adjustable suspension and 63HP make for an awesome ride. This bike was used purely for commuting so very light use in general.


Most recent maintenance:
- Fresh oil change about 100 miles ago
- New Throttlebodies (replaced at 13k miles)
- New Magura Clutch Master Cylinder (replaced at 17.5k miles)
- Fork seals with fresh oil (replaced at 18k miles)
- Engine Ice / Coolant Flush (20.5k miles)

Major service at 22k miles included:
- Top-end Rebuild
- New D.I.D. Chain & Sprockets
- New Spark Plug
- New Front + Rear Brake Pads
- Front + Rear Brake Fluid Bleed/Flush
- Clutch Fluid Bleed/Flush w/ KTM clutch fluid
- New Pirelli Diablo Rosso II Front Tire

I have ALL maintenance-related records in a KTM bag. 

Bad:
Previous owner kept it outside so the plastics and gauge cluster are faded and there is some minor rust. The left side is okay, but the right side looks a little rough as somebody attempted to remove the sticker residue with sandpaper. Overall, I'd give the exterior a 6/10. If you want it to look pretty I'd replace the plastics for a few hundred bucks. The rear brake lever is bent from somebody knocking it over in the parking lot. Mechanically, the bike is in great shape. However, it is prone to stalling when pulling the clutch in and coasting to a stop (common problem on these 690's). Likely a mapping issue and as long as you give the throttle a quick blip as you pull in the clutch the bike is completely fine. It didn't bother the previous owner and hasn't stopped me from riding it or bothered me enough to fix it. 

Please scroll through ALL the pictures. I tried to picture any issues as best as I could.

Sold as is.

OEMs Plug into Electric Bikes

Sat, 01 Nov 2008

KTM introduced its prototype electric motorcycle earlier this week, and electric bike manufacturer Zero Motorcycles almost immediately responded by opening sales on its 2009 Zero X dirt bike (look for our review of the 2008 model next week!). But these two companies aren’t the only ones exploring the possibilities of electric-powered motorcycles. In September, Japan’s largest industrial information journal Nikkei Business Daily reported that both Honda and Yamaha have set target dates for launching their own electric-powered motorcycles.

2014 Bajaj Pulsar 375 – The Fully-Faired Indian Version of the KTM 390 Duke Spied

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Indian website Powerdrift has uncovered photographs of what it claims to be a Bajaj Pulsar 375, a faired sportbike based on the KTM 390 Duke. A Bajaj-branded version of the 390 Duke should be no surprise. The Indian company, after all, owns a 47% stake in Austrian-based KTM, and it released its own version of the 200 Duke in the 2012 Bajaj Pulsar 200NS.
