KTM 690 Duke 2009

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.

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2021

Yamaha MT-09 SP 2021

The Yamaha MT-09 SP is based on the really well-done MT-09. In 2021, a particularly fine vintage! But the upgrade goes one better! The high-quality chassis provides a great compromise between riding comfort and sportiness.

Upright, comfortable seating position

Well-tuned chassis

Mappings and traction control are quick and easy to adjust

High-quality workmanship

Lovely details

Great tuned engine

Great acceleration and lots of pressure in the relevant rev range.

Horn mounted in a crude way

poor display
