KTM 690 Duke 2019

KTM 690 Duke 2019

Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.

powerful engine

suitable for everyday use

many technical aids

manoeuvrable

smooth running

For some, not a "real" single-cylinder Duke

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2007

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R 2007

The Kawasaki rides noticeably more manageable than before. The machine lacks absolutely nothing for the racetrack. Steering damper, anti-hopping, chassis, engine - everything is ready. Only not quite as stable as before, the rear feels lighter in the braking zone than before.

Reduced weight

improved handling

more compact layout

Öhlings steering damper

comfort offered

good seating position

immaculate engine tuning.

Stability - unsteadiness in the braking zone

new fork brings disadvantage: tolerences must be maintained over the entire surface of the immersion tube.
