Both bikes have double disc brakes at the front, but there are differences in the brake systems. The Suzuki GSR 750 2017 has double piston calipers, while the KTM 890 Duke R 2020 has four-piston calipers. This suggests that the KTM may offer more powerful and responsive braking performance.

Suzuki GSR 750 2017

A razor-sharp design with an aggressive front and narrow rear - just as speedy street raiders have always wanted. It is a pity that the rear swingarm was neglected (officially for weight reasons, unofficially for cost reasons), and the front dual-piston brake system seems a little weak. However, the performance during the ride, both at high speed and in tight corners, is quite good.

Attractive overall appearance

stable handling

successful tuning of the suspension elements

sufficient comfort

easy-to-read instruments.

Brake system requires a lot of manual force

box swingarm not particularly pretty

KTM 890 Duke R 2020

The KTM 890 Duke R appears playful, handy but with high-quality equipment. The engine and weight are reminiscent of much smaller motorbikes. The power unit revs up lively and hangs directly on the throttle. The bike turns easily and rides light-footed. Braking and the electronics package, however, are in the big league. Therefore, the 890 Duke is a fast and cool bike for country roads and racetracks.

Great electronics package

High-quality brakes

Extensively adjustable chassis

High-revving engine

Playful handling

Slightly nervous tendencies - loose sitting position necessary
