Pros and Cons in comparison
BMW S 1000 RR 2016
The S 1000 RR is the universal talent among the superbikes - you sit on it and feel comfortable straight away. Although it seems a bit nervous in comparison in terms of chassis and stability. However, it converts this into pleasantly easy handling and impresses with its enormous engine power. The front wheel is indeed particularly light and has to be calmed by the steering damper. An incredibly sporty and at the same time comfortable feature is the shift assistant for upshifting and downshifting - this brings calm to the chassis and you can fully concentrate on driving.
KTM 390 Duke 2020
The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.
