Actually quite want. The right capacity for a commuter, lighter than the Japanese 250-500s.
Sales and support though, sales and support.

I've always thought a commuter required a little in terms of storage. For your lunch, waterproofs, MacBook, iPad, i<whatever>, etc.
As a bit of a weekend toy perhaps. However, I need my bikes to fulfil a multiple of roles, I'm not rich enough, for example like Henry Cole and even certain people on here, to have a plethora of bikes for various purposes.
I actually quite like. Looks nicer than some of the stuff from those Bike Shed Gentleman's Relish Ride bike builders (plus front mudguard so it can actually be riden on a real road).

I have a four hour round trip to the nearest KTM dealer, versus 5 - 15 minutes minutes for Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Triumph.
The Duke 390 isn't exactly problem free.
Want, will probably never get.

It all sounded good until 180kg and the KTM 390 engine.
So they've made an excessively heavy and STILL slow 'concept'. Been taking tips from Honda's product development team perchance?
That's actually more than the listed dry weight of the Nuda 900r with it's much more flexible power plant.

The way they look (especially the white one) I was hoping for some kind of modern incarnation of the Yamaha SDR200. A wee little urban hoon machine that isn't a supermoto.
The thing does look tiny but 180kg though
