Every time I see a 390 Duke on the street, my heart rate kicks up just a little. It doesn’t matter that I’ve moved on to faster, more powerful bikes—there’s something about that compact, aggressive machine that tugs at my heartstrings. The 390 was my first real big bike, and even now, it still feels like the one that truly lit the fire.
So when I saw a video of what looks like an electric Duke—aggressive silhouette, angular tank, split seat, unmistakable attitude—being shown off casually by KTM stunt rider Rok Bagoros inside the KTM Motohall, I felt a jolt. This is happening.
And it’s happening loud, even without a combustion engine.
