Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Monster 1200 S 2020

The Ducati Monster generates a whopping 147 hp and a powerful 124 Nm of torque from the 1200 cc water-cooled Testastretta twin cylinder. This means you are more than just well motorised in every situation on the country road! The overall concept of a light ready-to-ride total weight of 213 kg in combination with high-quality Öhlins suspension and top assistance systems makes the machine an almost perfect naked bike. Classic, timeless design paired with modern components make this Italo beauty an "insider tip" in times of 200 hp + hyper naked bike rockets! Small compromises have to be made with the wind protection and the quickshifter. The latter takes a little getting used to.
KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2018

With generous standard equipment, a retuned engine and unmistakably edgy KTM design, the 1290 Super Duke GT aims to enter the sport touring segment. With rideable performance and the full power of the naked bike in the spirit of the "Ready-to-Race" credo, it stands out from the competition not only visually. The mattighofen sports fanatics even fit heated grips and cruise control to offer frequent riders a nice spot. Somehow they still manage to remain credible and to trigger storms of enthusiasm in the rider.
