As for the lucky draw, KTM Malaysia offered a brand new KTM 390 Duke as the grand prize. This new model boasts the most powerful engine as well as being the best equipped in the sub-400cc category with a 5” TFT screen, WP upside-down forks and shock, radially-mounted 4-piston caliper.
The lucky winner was picked out during the carnival and the prize was handed over on 10th August 2018 at KTM Malaysia’s Lifestyle Centre in Kota Damansara.
Winner, Ms. Hayatun Nufus Binti Hoddri was present with her husband, Mr. Mohd. Firdaus Bin Ithnin.
“I couldn’t be happier, Alhamdulillah,” beams Hayatun, “I had just followed my husband to the Orange Carnival to look see, as he wanted to test out the new bikes and never expected to win the Grand Prize!”
Mohd. Firdaus reflected his wife’s joy, “It was the same for me. I still couldn’t believe it. I went to the carnival because I’ve always wanted to test the 1290 Super Duke R. I prefer naked motorcycles, KTM’s in particular, over the Yamaha YZF-R1 that I currently own.”
Will Hayatun be an addition to KTM Malaysia’s Dukers community? “Although we’ve travelled to many places on our current motorcycle, I can’t ride,” she admitted, “Although, I would love to learn to do so in the future, with my husband’s permission.”
The couple rode the new bike all the way back to Johor Bahru after the handover ceremony.
The Orange Carnival is slated to be held throughout the country, so stay tuned for the next date!
