Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 890 Duke 2021

KTM 890 Duke 2021

The predecessor 790 Duke already proved that KTM knows how to build a mid-range naked bike for the road. The new 890 carries the torch with a puffy chest and once again lives up to its scalpel nickname. Lively, it pulls the radii and gives off a certain nervousness that can be interpreted as a wild character. The equipment is almost complete - but only almost. Why do you have to pay extra for the quickshifter when it was standard on the predecessor? It is all the more annoying that the clutchless upshifting and downshifting functions as smoothly as butter and that one would not want to do without it.

Triumph Street Triple 675 R 2016

Triumph Street Triple 675 R 2016

The Triumph Street Tripel R is known as an extremely lively naked bike that is enormous fun on the country road. But the little R-Streety also cuts a fine figure on the racetrack and doesn't get on your nerves with a spongy chassis or too little power. Even the braking system with its two 310-millimetre discs and radially mounted Nissin four-piston calipers at the front is as powerful as you would expect from a very, very sporty motorbike that is also used to a large extent on country roads or in everyday life.
