KTM 690 Duke vs. Husqvarna TR650 Strada | ON TWO WHEELS

In this classic episode of On Two Wheels, MC Road Test Editor Ari Henning and guest rider Bradley Adams from Sport Rider magazine set out to find the bigger differences between KTM's 690 Duke and the Husqvarna TR650 Strada. Both bikes have found a home in lineups that put greater emphasis on dirt-oriented models, but prove largely capable on the street. In typical OTW fashion, only one can come out on top. Will it be the 690 Duke or TR650 Strada? KTM or Husqvarna? Watch and find out.

[@johncdorgan]

Very good video! You guys both have talent. I hope you're finding ways to prosper. Doesn't sound like you're doing videos. ?? I'm glad I found this one today!! Thanks.

[@GETUPANDGO]

Older episode I see, but still good and fun to watch

[@melvinf190]

are you guys gonna test the ktm smc 690? ( the supermotard)

[@Buckarooskiczek]

Damn…now this video is REALLY old! Ah, but still fun to watch you guys having fun on the job! (Heck, I never paid attention to the Husky before so this ancient vid may have sparked an interest…)

[@amcabbott3039]

this helped make my mind up on buying a used 2013 HUSQVARNA TR650 STRADA, thanks

[@tomlewis73]

Would love to see the battle with the next size up set of awesome hypermotards with Husqvarna's Nuda 900 against the Ducati Hypermotard 939?

[@DearMajesty]

Hey Ari, when you rode the Duke 690 did you have any issues with the suspension? I'm not sure if mine is just shot or something, but it's like there's no rebound damping in mine. The thing is a frigging pogo stick. Is this normal?

[@TylerBlack863]

This video is two years old... We need new episodes!!

[@brandonhindmarsh4353]

So would I still be able to find parts for a used TR650? Should I pass on favor of a different dual sport?

[@Na2gumiBlogspot]

Turned out KTM (Husqvarna) dropped the Strada :)

[@dukensnusan543]

Could someone answer if the front rim of the duke 690 possibly fit the husqy for a supermoto setup?

[@PunkSkaful]

I want both

[@sometimesitstays]
