Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 790 Duke 2019

A sporty naked bike that not only has enough power, but also playful handling and high-quality equipment - the KTM 790 Duke ticks all the boxes. If the looks don't bother you, it's hard to find anything the 790 can't do well, because in its hunting ground - the country road - it forms a wonderfully rounded package that doesn't really leave anything to be desired. Initial teething troubles have also been solved, which is why the KTM 790 Duke is still a real recommendation!

Ducati Hypermotard 821 2013

Renewing a design icon is certainly not easy, but with the new Hypermotard it has clearly succeeded: The front has been sharpened, the rear trimmed and in between a high-tech firework of the highest order. Not even exclusive features such as the Ride by Wire system, ABS and traction control have to be dispensed with.
