Pros and Cons in comparison

Triumph Street Triple 675 R 2013

If you're looking for a lively naked bike in the mid-range segment that's especially fun for sporty rides on country roads, the Street Triple 675 R is the perfect choice. Whether the manageable surcharge for the R pays off should be decided according to whether you really want to adjust the chassis or leave it in the well-chosen basic setup anyway.

Taut, playful chassis

agile

low weight

powerful brake

comfort offered.

Brake application a little brute towards the end.

KTM 690 Duke 2009

Are there so many people who don't need 100 hp to stabilise their ego? I think with previous single-cylinder models, it was always the design that was the problem, not the lack of power. The Duke manages to look really high-quality even as a small single-cylinder.

Stable frame

relatively low overall weight

good chassis

high-quality components

strong braking system

handling.

Significantly weaker single-cylinder engine

somewhat less comfort

somewhat less power.
