Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2014

With all the power and hard "Beast videos" from KTM, this horsepower monster is actually a 100% everyday bike for touring or going to work.

precise handling

traction control

powerful engine

High price

Yamaha MT-10 2021

The Yamaha MT-10 exudes a lot of emotion with the cool CP4 engine, but also doesn't forget pragmatic utility. For a naked bike, it offers a lot of comfort on long tours. It rides fast but is still refined at all times. On the racetrack, the chassis is not precise enough to beat the other Powernakeds. Overall, however, it scores with its versatility paired with radical looks and awesome sound.

great sound

pleasant wind protection

comfortable seating position even on long tours

great engine response

balanced overall package despite radical looks and wicked sound

Too inactive seating position on the racetrack

chassis and ride assistance systems sufficient for trackdays but not on the same level as the other Powernakeds.
