Suzuki GSR 750 2011

The engine from the GSX-R has been stripped of power and given even more smoothness. You don't miss the first, but enjoy the second all the more. All in all, the GSR certainly offers enough potential for every performance level on public roads, and you certainly won't go wrong with it on race tracks either.

Powerful engine

aggressive looks

optimum comfort

firm, sporty chassis

For extreme speeds, some additional investments have to be made.

KTM 690 Duke 2015

KTM 690 Duke 2015

It is unbelievable how cultivated KTM has developed the single-cylinder without sacrificing performance. It can be considered a stroke of genius that, within the framework of the EURO4 standard, the engine's running culture was raised while at the same time increasing power. The flat torque curve is responsible for the smooth, powerful propulsion. From 4000 revs, the Duke pushes hard and revs up to 8500 revs. Even at low revs, the engine does not stutter or swallow, which is an advantage in the city. The Duke's greatest strength, apart from its rideability, is its manoeuvrability, which is why it can confidently be called a toy. It's only when you're on the racetrack and attacking hard that you wish you had the "R" under your bum.
