1974 Dodge Monaco

The Bluesmobile is a 1974 Dodge Monaco sedan that was prominently featured in the 1980 Universal Pictures film The Blues Brothers. The car is described as a decommissioned Mount Prospect police car, purchased by Elwood Blues at an auction after he had traded a previous car (a 1968 Cadillac Sixty Special) for a microphone. The Bluesmobile is equipped with a "440 Magnum" engine and squad car package, an option offered by Dodge for the Monaco in 1974. It bears an Illinois license plate reading "BDR 529", a tribute to the Black Diamond Riders motorcycle club of Toronto, Canada. Dan Aykroyd, co-writer of the film, stated that he chose the 440 Dodge Monaco because he considered it to be the hottest car used by police during the 1970s.

"It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas". ~ Elwood Blues describing the Bluesmobile.

2024 Honda CB650R

For 24YM Honda’s naked four-cylinder jewel evolves its Neo Sports Café style with a sharp styling update from nose to tail. A brand-new 5-inch TFT screen offers Honda RoadSync connectivity, operated by simplified new 4-way toggle switch. Engine performance is unchanged at 70kW power and 63Nm torque, with an A2 option. The CB650R - alongside the CBR650R super sports bike - will be the first Honda to be offered with the option of Honda E-Clutch technology, which gives the rider choice of automatic clutch operation by simply using the shift pedal. Chassis specification includes Showa SFF-BP USD forks, dual four-piston radial mount front calipers and 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 tyre combination. Two brand-new paint options and two new colour combinations strike a contemporary chord.

- Introduction Honda has always thrived on exploring new boundaries – in design as well as engineering. In 18YM, the CB1000R, CB300R and CB125R brought a fresh identity to its naked motorcycle line-up, mixing café racer inspirations with a forward-looking ultra-minimalist look under the ‘Neo Sports Café’ design theme. In 19YM the CB650R joined the family and its combination of cool styling, exhilarating four-cylinder engine performance and light, versatile handling ensured immediate sales success. Building on the momentum, for 21YM it received a major front suspension upgrade, plus a range of detail improvements to enhance comfort, usability and practicality. 24YM is an important year for the CB650R and while updated style and functionality will get attention, this bike – alongside its naked sibling, the CBR650R – will go down in history as the first Honda to be available with Honda E-Clutch technology, which is designed to make motorcycling, from beginner right through to expert, even more enjoyable – and even more exciting. Valerio Aiello, of Honda’s Rome R&D Department on the Neo Sports Café design aesthetic: “The entire current Neo Sport Café range from Honda is the result of the CB4 Concept model presented at EICMA in 2015. Our desire was to explore the world of the café racer and reinterpret it in a modern key. We wanted to create neo-classics – that is, modern motorcycles showcasing classic design styles combined with modern techniques.  I used inspiration from outside the world of motorcycles, in watches. I’ve always liked their technicality and one of the key concepts used during the Neo Sports Café design was 'Mechanical Art'. This is the desire to show the beauty of the various mechanical elements to which Honda has always given great importance.”

- Model Overview There’s a fresh look to the CB650R’s retro minimalism. A new headlight, radiator shrouds, rider/pillion seat, tail unit and taillight inject a more dynamic energy, while the fuel tank remains a strong presence above the beautiful inline four-cylinder engine. A new 5-inch full colour TFT screen is designed for readability on bright days and features Honda RoadSync connectivity. Managed by a new, easy-to-use 4-way lefthand backlit toggle switch the rider can now enjoy on-screen, turn-by-turn navigation in addition to other smartphone features. Performance is unchanged: 70kw peak power with 63Nm are fun figures for a naked bike,  and the classic in-line 4 cylinder ‘pick-up’ and high-revving top end power are longstanding Honda calling cards. A 35kW option is available for A2 licence holders. Available as an option on the CB650R, the new Honda E-Clutch takes away the need for the rider to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox. The chassis is as before and a perfect package from city block to twisting back road. A steel diamond frame provides core rigidity while 41mm Showa SFF-BP USD front forks and Showa rear shock deliver high-quality suspension control. Four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work 310mm floating discs and cast aluminium wheels mount 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 front and rear tyres. The 24YM CB650R will be available in the following colour options: **NEW** Matt Laurel Green Metallic with Matt Vulcan Silver Metallic details **NEW** Pearl Smokey Gray, with Matt Crypton Silver Metallic details Candy Chromosphere Red with NEW Matt Crypton Silver Metallic details Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic with NEW Matt Crypton Silver Metallic details

- Key Features 3.1 Styling & Equipment - Neo Sports Café styling evolves dynamically - New 5-inch full colour TFT screen includes Honda RoadSync connectivity for on-screen turn-by-turn navigation and access to other smartphone functions - New, simplified left hand switchgear easy to use and backlit for night-time - All lighting LED; new slanted headlight matched by new taillight design Tightly wrapped, the CB650R’s Neo Sports Café style evolution features the signature compact ‘Trapezoid’ proportion of a new, sharper tail and short-overhang and new slanted LED headlight All other lighting is LED, and a new taillight tucks seamlessly into the new fairing. From the front, via the new radiator shrouds backwards, the overall look is sinuous, more dynamic and with keen sense of purpose. The long fuel tank remains a key motif of the family design; its smooth lines accentuate the solidity of real metal surfaces and crown the engineering of the four-cylinder powerplant. It also houses the ignition. A 35° handlebar angle makes tight, slow-speed turns and U-turns straightforward. The shape of the pillion and rider seats have been revised to match the new tail; seat height remains 810mm. There’s a USB Type-C socket located under the seat. Premium technology – in the form of a brand new, 5-inch full colour TFT screen – uses optical bonding to improve visibility in bright sunlight. By sealing the gap between the cover glass and TFT screen with resin, glare is reduced, and visibility improved. The display itself is customisable between ‘Bar’, ‘Circle’ and ‘Simple’ display patterns and also, for the first time on the CB650R, offers the smartphone connectivity of Honda RoadSync. Honda RoadSync – alongside a new simplified, easy-to-use, backlit 4-way toggle-switch on the left handlebar – allows straightforward, on-screen turn-by-turn navigation as well as the option (via a Bluetooth helmet headset) for the rider to make calls, listen to music or receive voice feedback of weather conditions. All an owner has to do is download the free Honda RoadSync app from either the Play Store or the App Store, connect to the CB650R, and go.

3.2 Chassis - 41mm Showa Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks  - Four-piston, radial-mount front brake calipers and floating discs - 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 front and rear tyres The steel diamond frame uses pressed swingarm pivot plates and twin elliptical spars with a rigidity balance specifically tuned (stiffer around the headstock and more flexible in the spar sections) to deliver excellent all-round handling characteristics with high levels of rider feedback. Rake is set at 25.5° with trail of 100mm and wheelbase of 1,450mm. Kerb weight is 205kg (207kg E-Clutch). Showa’s 41mm Separate Function Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks offer high-quality reaction. A pressure separation damper in one fork tube and spring mechanism in the other deliver high damping performance and lighter weight. Together with the use of a larger sized piston, the result is increased feel, bump absorption and control. Adjustable for 10-stage spring preload, the single-tube monoshock operates directly on the curvaceous gravity die-cast aluminium swingarm. Four-piston radial-mount front brake calipers work 310mm floating discs, and are paired with a single-piston rear caliper and 240mm disc. The ABS is a two-channel system. Cast aluminium wheels mount 120/70-ZR17 and 180/55-ZR17 front and rear tyres.

3.3 Engine - 70kW peak power with 63Nm peak torque - 35kW A2 licence option available - Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) The 649cc, DOHC 16-valve engine is unchanged for 24YM. It’s tuned to create the purest, most enjoyable mid-sized four-cylinder performance possible, with the classically fast ‘pick-up’ through the rev range and hard-hitting, high-revving top end for which Honda’s in-line fours are renowned. Peak power of 70kW arrives @ 12,000rpm with peak torque @ 63Nm delivered at 9,500 rpm. A 35kW option is available for A2 licence holders. Direct cam actuation makes for a compact cylinder head; bore and stroke is set at 67mm x 46mm with compression ratio raised of 11.6:1. Iridium spark plugs are employed and twin air ducts – either side of the fuel tank – feed the airbox and produce a throaty intake roar. Asymmetric piston skirts minimise bore contact and reduce friction. Ferrous spines on the outer surface of the cylinder sleeves reduce oil consumption (and friction) with improved heat transfer and a silent SV cam chain reduces frictional losses by using a Vanadium coating on its pins. Internal water channelling from cylinder head to cylinders does away with most of the exterior hoses. The engine uses a compact internal architecture, stacked six-speed gearbox and starter layout with the cylinders canted forward 30°. An assist/slipper clutch eases upshifts while managing rear-wheel lock up under hard braking and rapid downshifts. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) manages rear wheel traction; it can be turned off should the rider choose. Fuel consumption of 20.4km/l (WMTC mode) gives a range of over 300km from the 15.4L fuel tank. EURO5 compliant, environmental efficiency has been updated with revisions to the ECU and catalyser, as well as the addition of an OBD2-2 sensor.

- Honda E-Clutch - see separate post - World-first technology allows the rider to start, stop and change gear without using the clutch lever – just the shift pedal - Available as an option from new; system adds 2kg to kerb weight - Honda E-Clutch also allows normal operation of the clutch lever - Brings more enjoyment and flexibility across a wide range of scenarios, for a ‘next level’ riding experience Honda E-Clutch takes elements of the technology and performance of quickshifters, manually-operated clutches and Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission technology to create a unique blend of these well-proven approaches, opening up a whole new aspect of the motorcycling experience for riders of every type and experience level. The clutch and transmission hardware themselves are no different from a conventional motorcycle, with the ultra-compact system weighing only 2 kilograms. In operation, Honda E-clutch is simplicity itself, taking away the need to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox. The rider simply has to operate the shift pedal for ultra-fast, consistent gear changes, bringing extra enjoyment to sporty riding. The clutch lever is also not needed when pulling away or coming to a stop. Becoming active as soon as the engine is switched on, the system manages both scenarios smoothly, while taking away the possibility of the engine stalling when in operation, providing extra convenience and peace of mind to town riding involving frequent starts and stops.

In addition to enjoyment and convenience, Honda E-Clutch brings ultimate flexibility. Should the rider wish, they are able to operate the clutch lever as normal at any time. When the clutch lever is used, the Honda E-clutch system will re-activate after less than a second above a certain engine rpm; after 5 seconds at lower engine speeds. Should the rider wish to turn off the system for a particular ride, this is also possible via the switchgear on the left handlebar. The change to manual operation is indicated by a letter ‘M’ on the instrument panel. The Honda E-Clutch also allows the rider to select an ‘operation feel’ to set the strength of the force required on the shift pedal to make a gear change. Three settings are available: HARD, MEDIUM, and SOFT, each of which can be chosen independently for upshifting and downshifting. The technology will also advise the rider to shift down - via a symbol on the instrument panel - if it detects the motorcycle is in a high gear at a certain speed. The Honda E-Clutch manages clutch engagement and disengagement based on its reading of parameters including vehicle speed, throttle opening angle, engine rpm, pressure on the shift pedal, clutch motor reduction gear angle, engine countershaft speed and gear position. The clutch is operated through an actuator unit with two motors situated inside the right hand engine cover. As the clutch is engaged or disengaged, the engine’s ignition timing and fuel injection are also controlled, resulting in smooth, shock-free shifting in any situation. Junya Ono, Large Project Leader, Honda E-Clutch: “Our Honda E-Clutch is designed to offer motorcyclists a new kind of experience that can make their riding even more fun and exciting. It also adds peace of mind and comfort to town riding or the daily commute. We hope that many riders will try our new system to enjoy the unique mix of sportiness and flexibility it offers.”

- Accessories A range of Genuine Honda Accessories are available for the CB650R, both available as individual items and grouped in packs, and are ready to bolt straight on: Style Pack  Designed to complement the looks and style of the CB650R by adding high-quality aluminium inserts, Front Fender Panels, Radiator Shroud Covers, Side Cover Panels and Tank Side Stickers for added grip and protection.

It quickly gained popularity and evolved into the XRV750 in 1990, selling over 73,000 units before being discontinued in 2001.

In 2016, Honda revived the Africa Twin with the CRF1000L, offering it in both European and American markets. The following year, the Adventure Sports version joined the lineup, catering to riders seeking a more touring-focused experience. The Africa Twin has since become a staple in the adventure riding community, known for its rugged durability and versatility.

Honda also offers accessory packs, such as the Rally Pack, Adventure Pack, Urban Pack, and Travel Pack, which provide a combination of accessories tailored to specific riding needs.

Whether riders are looking for added protection, increased storage capacity, or improved touring capabilities, the Africa Twin's accessories allow for endless customization possibilities.

The 2024 Africa Twin lineup represents the pinnacle of adventure riding, combining Honda's rich heritage with cutting-edge technology and performance. With updates and refinements across the board, these motorcycles offer unparalleled versatility and capability on any terrain. Whether riders are tackling off-road trails, exploring remote landscapes, or cruising on scenic highways, the Africa Twin delivers an exhilarating and unforgettable riding experience.

With its legendary status and the latest advancements, the Africa Twin continues to inspire riders to push their boundaries and embark on new adventures.

Electric Bicycles: The Future of Urban Mobility

In the ever-evolving world of transportation, electric bicycles (e-bikes) have quickly risen to prominence as one of the most efficient, eco-friendly, and fun ways to get around. Whether you're commuting through busy city streets or taking a leisurely ride in the countryside, e-bikes offer an attractive alternative to traditional vehicles.

But what makes e-bikes so appealing, and why are they becoming a crucial part of modern mobility? Let’s explore the reasons behind the e-bike revolution.

What Is an Electric Bicycle?

At first glance, an electric bicycle looks similar to a conventional bike, but the key difference lies in its added technology. An e-bike is equipped with an electric motor that assists the rider as they pedal, making it easier to ride longer distances or tackle hills with less effort.

E-bikes come in various designs, with motor power ranging from light pedal assistance to more powerful models that require minimal pedaling. The motor is usually powered by a rechargeable battery that can be conveniently charged at home or work.

Why Are Electric Bicycles Popular?

The surge in e-bike popularity can be attributed to several factors:

Eco-Friendly Transportation In a world grappling with climate change, reducing carbon emissions is more important than ever. E-bikes offer a greener alternative to cars, buses, and motorcycles. Powered by electricity instead of fossil fuels, they have a much smaller carbon footprint, contributing to cleaner air in cities and reducing overall pollution.

Cost-Effective Commuting Gas prices, parking fees, and vehicle maintenance costs can add up quickly. E-bikes, on the other hand, have much lower running costs. The only major expense is charging the battery, which costs a fraction of what it takes to fuel a car. Plus, many cities offer incentives for people who choose to commute via e-bikes.

Improved Health and Fitness While e-bikes provide pedal assistance, they still encourage physical activity. Riders can adjust the level of motor assistance depending on their fitness level and terrain. This means you can enjoy a workout when you want, but also conserve energy on longer or more challenging rides. Many people who use e-bikes report an improvement in their overall fitness and well-being.

Effortless Commuting E-bikes make commuting far more convenient by removing many of the barriers associated with traditional bicycles, such as getting sweaty or exhausted on the way to work. With the help of the electric motor, riders can breeze through city traffic, tackle hills, and ride long distances without overexerting themselves. It's a particularly attractive option for those who live in hilly cities or want to avoid crowded public transport.

Accessibility for All E-bikes are especially beneficial for older adults or people with physical limitations. The pedal-assist feature allows them to enjoy the freedom of cycling without straining their muscles or joints. This inclusivity makes e-bikes a great option for people of all ages and fitness levels, promoting active lifestyles across the board.

Types of Electric Bicycles

Electric bicycles come in various types to suit different riding preferences and needs:

Commuter E-Bikes: Designed for city dwellers, commuter e-bikes are built for efficiency, comfort, and speed. They often feature lightweight frames, upright seating positions, and integrated lighting and fenders, making them perfect for daily urban commutes.

Folding E-Bikes: Ideal for those who live in small apartments or need to carry their bike on public transportation, folding e-bikes are compact and portable. Their foldable frames allow for easy storage and transport, without sacrificing performance.

Mountain E-Bikes: For those who love off-road adventures, mountain e-bikes provide extra power for tackling steep trails and rough terrain. Equipped with robust suspension systems, wider tires, and powerful motors, these bikes are built to handle the great outdoors.

Cargo E-Bikes: Designed for carrying heavy loads, cargo e-bikes are perfect for families, small businesses, or anyone who needs to transport goods. With extended rear racks, larger frames, and extra power, they offer a sustainable alternative to delivery vehicles.

The Technology Behind E-Bikes

The motor and battery are the heart of any electric bicycle. Here’s a breakdown of how they work:

Motor Types: Most e-bikes use one of two types of motors: hub motors and mid-drive motors. Hub motors are located in the wheel hub and offer a more affordable option for casual riders. Mid-drive motors, placed near the bike's crank, provide better balance and torque, making them ideal for hilly or challenging terrain.

Battery Life: Modern e-bikes come with lithium-ion batteries, known for their long life and quick charging times. Depending on the model, an e-bike can travel anywhere from 20 to 100 miles on a single charge, making it a reliable option for both short commutes and longer rides.

Pedal Assist and Throttle: Most e-bikes offer pedal assist, where the motor kicks in as you pedal, amplifying your effort. Some models also come with a throttle, allowing riders to move without pedaling at all, similar to a scooter.

Challenges and Considerations

While electric bicycles offer many advantages, they are not without challenges:

Cost: E-bikes are generally more expensive than traditional bicycles due to the added technology. However, as demand grows and technology improves, prices are expected to decrease.

Weight: The motor and battery add extra weight to the bike, making e-bikes heavier than their conventional counterparts. This can be a consideration for those who need to carry their bikes up stairs or store them in small spaces.

Battery Life and Range: The range of an e-bike depends on various factors, including the size of the battery, the level of assistance used, and the terrain. Long-distance commuters need to ensure that the bike's range will meet their needs, and be mindful of charging schedules.

The Future of Electric Bicycles

As cities worldwide grapple with congestion, pollution, and the need for sustainable transportation solutions, electric bicycles are poised to play a significant role. Many urban planners are already integrating e-bikes into bike-sharing programs and infrastructure plans, seeing them as an essential tool for reducing car dependency and improving urban mobility.

With ongoing advances in battery technology, smart connectivity, and design innovations, e-bikes are likely to become even more efficient, affordable, and accessible. As we look toward a greener future, the electric bicycle is set to become a key player in shaping the way we move.

Conclusion

The rise of electric bicycles represents a major shift in how we think about personal transportation. Offering a perfect blend of convenience, sustainability, and fun, e-bikes provide a solution to some of the most pressing challenges facing modern cities. Whether you're a commuter looking for a faster, greener way to get to work, or an adventurer seeking new trails to explore, there's an e-bike out there for you.

With their potential to transform urban mobility, electric bicycles are more than just a trend—they're a step toward a cleaner, healthier, and more efficient future.

Smooth Rides Start with Motorcycle Repair in London

The Importance of Timely Motorcycle Repair

Motorcycles are complicated machines, designed for glow and benefits alike. However, even the most strong bikes can be delayed if their service is neglected. In a full metropolis like London, where riders face different road conditions, timely repairs become critical. Minor issues left unchecked—like worn brake pads or fraying cables—can lead to catastrophic failures. Regular maintenance not only preserves the integrity of the bike but also guarantees that every ride, whether for work or quite, stays smooth and hassle-free.

Common Motorcycle Issues Riders Face in London

Urban riding presents a unique set of challenges. London’s pothole-ridden streets, unpredictable weather, and heavy traffic take a toll on motorcycles. Riders often experience brake failure, chain slippage, clutch troubles, and electrical glitches. Many also struggle with degraded tires due to the stop-start nature of city traffic. Engine overheating is another common complaint, especially when navigating through London’s iconic yet crowded way. These issues, if not addressed quickly, compromise not only performance but also the safety of the rider.

How Professional Repairs Ensure Safe and Smooth Rides

Attempting to fix a motorcycle with basic know-how often results in temporary solutions, leaving the door open for further breakdowns. Professional mechanics, on the other hand, bring Skill and clarity to every repair. They can spot hidden problems that may not be clear to the untrained eye, preventing a larger break down the line. In addition to resolving mechanical issues, a skilled repair service fine-tunes the bike, aligning brakes, chains, and suspension for a silky-smooth ride. Trusting experts ensure that every twist of the throttle feels seamless and every corner is taken with confidence.

Choosing the Right Repair Service in London

Finding the right repair shop can feel very difficult, given the arrangement of options in the city. However, sharp riders know the value of selecting services with a solid reputation. Look for mechanics with specialized motorcycle expertise and original parts, as these guarantee a longer-lasting fix. Many shops in London also offer rental bikes or express repairs, minimizing downtime for those who rely on their two-wheelers daily. Whether it's a local favorite tucked in a side street or a well-known name, the right repair service transforms your bike from a clunky liability back into a reliable, smooth-riding companion.

In a city as dynamic as London, smooth rides aren’t just about performance—they’re about freedom. Regular repairs ensure your motorcycle can handle whatever the city throws your way, keeping you on the road without a hitch.

Conclusion

In a city like London, where every journey counts, keeping your bike in top shape is essential. Motorcycle repair in London is more than just fixing issues—it's about ensuring safety, enhancing performance, and maintaining the greatfull of riding. With the right repair service by your side, you can glide through the city's streets smoothly, knowing your motorcycle is ready to implement every mile ahead.

The 2024 KTM 990 Duke Hits The Bullseye With Sniper-like Accuracy

Heralding a massive leap forward for the KTM Naked range, the all-new KTM 990 DUKE takes aim directly at the coveted 1000 Naked bike segment, pulling no punches! With 2024 marking 30 YEARS OF DUKE, the all-new KTM 990 DUKE slots into the line-up like a well-polished round in the chamber. In its quest to be the most performance-focused NAKED machine possible, the KTM 990 DUKE ticks all the right boxes mechanically, while deploying extreme new styling. The KTM 990 DUKE makes its intentions perfectly clear. Apart from a blisteringly potent engine, an all-new chassis and swingarm design – not to mention updated ergonomics and technology – it now sizes up to larger capacity motorcycles in both displacement and proportions.

Side-on, the new design has been modelled around the concept of an explosion in a freeze-frame, harnessing extreme energy ready to be released. This new design is further enhanced by two colourway options; Black and Electric Orange – the latter being reminiscent of the Naked models of a bygone era, developed specifically to celebrate 30 YEARS OF DUKE. At the face of it, predatory design meets reduced styling with its evolved LED headlight being a stand-out feature of the all-new KTM 990 DUKE. Constructed from a carefully chosen mix of materials, the new design ensures lighting stability in all road conditions. Position and daytime running lights are located on the profile of the headlight, which also auto-adjusts in intensity according to ambient light conditions thanks to a light sensor integrated into the dashboard. Additionally, the KTM 990 DUKE is fitted with a Coming Home light function as standard. Here, the headlight will remain on after the ignition has been switched off, awarding the rider with a few seconds of light to open doors or for better visibility in the garage.

Power is taken care of by a dramatically updated version of the LC8c engine found in the KTM 890 DUKE R. Boasting 947 cc, the roaring heart of the KTM 990 DUKE receives new pistons, crankshaft and conrod, producing a fire-breathing 123 HP and 103 Nm, with a total motorcycle weight of only 179 kg, ready to ride. The KTM 990 DUKE takes its DNA from the long lineage of hard-hitting DUKE models that have come before it, adding more verve and aggression for 2024. It is a performance-oriented machine at its core, designed around a lightweight, flickable chassis that inspires utmost rider confidence. In typical DUKE fashion, a stiff trellis frame and a new closed-lattice swingarm come together to welcome high-quality adjustable WP APEX Suspension components. These, together with track-proven Bridgestone S22 tyres, provide SNIPER-like accuracy when it comes to cornering stability. The WP APEX Suspension fitted to the KTM 990 DUKE features easy-to-adjust settings, encouraging the rider to push the limits comfortably. Upfront, the 43 mm WP APEX Suspension can be easily and accurately dialed in with 5 clicks on both rebound and compression. On the rear, the WP APEX Monotube shock absorber can be adjusted in 5-clicks, with manual preload adjustment also possible.

Once seated, riders are greeted by a 5-inch, anti-scratch bonded glass dashboard providing all the information a KTM 990 DUKE pilot could need. Revised graphics and menu structures are designed for faster, more intuitive access to the various features of the KTM 990 DUKE. This includes a new function that displays Lean Angle data, with an optional TRACK Mode complete with lap timer and telemetry stats. A USB-C connection is also added for device charging duties. In short, the brief was simple; develop the ultimate mid-class NAKED machine. In achieving this, the 2024 KTM 990 DUKE hits the mark dead centre. A full range of specially developed KTM PowerParts and KTM PowerWear are available for riders to personalise their motorcycles and get themselves kitted up in READY TO RACE performance. The 2024 KTM 990 DUKE will be available from Authorised KTM Dealers from February 2024 onwards, for £12,999 OTR. Discover more about 30 YEARS OF DUKE and the all-new 2024 KTM 990 DUKE at HERE.
