2021 KTM Duke 890

1 OWNER, LOW MILES, EXCELLENT CONDITION, RUNS GREAT!
The 2021 KTM 890 Duke (affectionately dubbed "The Scalpel") is a highly agile, middleweight naked sportbike powered by an 889cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. Introduced as a more accessible, road-friendly version of the higher-spec 890 Duke R, the standard model strikes an excellent balance between high-performance street carving and everyday comfort.Engine & PerformancePower Output: The parallel-twin pushes out 115 horsepower and 68 lb-ft of torque.Transmission: It relies on a slick 6-speed gearbox with a PASC mechanically operated slip-and-assist clutch.Chassis: Built on a signature chrome-molybdenum steel trellis frame paired with a cast aluminum swingarm, keeping weight to a nimble ~373 lbs dry (~405 lbs wet).Standard vs. "R" Version DifferencesWhile it inherits the same muscular core engine as the 890 Duke R, the base model is intentionally reconfigured for optimal street manners:Ergonomics: Features a shorter rider-friendly 32.3-inch (820mm) seat height, lower footpegs, and pulled-back handlebars for a roomier, more upright riding stance compared to the aggressive R model.Suspension: Utilizes WP APEX 43mm inverted front forks (non-adjustable) and a WP APEX rear monoshock that is adjustable for spring preload only.Brakes & Tires: Swaps out the R's high-end Brembo components for KTM-branded calipers clamping dual 300mm front discs. It rolls on versatile Continental ContiRoad sport-touring tires rather than the near-slick track rubber found on the R.Advanced Electronics SuiteManaged through a clean, full-color TFT dashboard, the 2021 model boasts a robust electronics array linked to a 6D lean-angle sensor:Standard Riding Modes: Includes Street, Rain, and Sport modes, which automatically alter throttle response, traction control limits, and anti-wheelie intervention.Cornering Safety: Comes factory-equipped with Cornering ABS and a specialized Supermoto ABS mode that allows you to lock up the rear wheel while keeping front ABS active.Optional Upgrades: Can be expanded with KTM’s software Tech Pack to unlock an adjustable Track Mode (9-level traction control customization, launch control, anti-wheelie off) and the bi-directional Quickshifter+.Valuation & Market AvailabilityThe original retail price sat right around $10,999.
