This guy is by far the best presenter of MCN- i especially enjoy his offroad reviews.
As for the new duke- it looks a bit lame compared to the previous model, i guess ktm realised that they need to appeal to as many people as possible-which is understantable-but lame. I am sure it will ride very well though.
MCN please stop playing music in the background, we only want hear the engine, not one's music taste.
