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.

Rev-happy engine

lively handling

buttery-smooth quickshifter

electronics package

does not arouse a desire for the R version on the country road.

Quickshifter at extra cost

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2020

BMW R nineT Urban G/S 2020

As one of 5 different R nineTs, the Urban G/S is also a successful variation of the air-cooled boxer, which, as in the other models, produces 110 hp and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of more power. The brakes are also on the same high level as those of the original R nineT, only the chassis has to make concessions. ABS comes as standard, ASC at extra cost. You don't need much more to be happy. The only thing we wouldn't want to do without are the wire-spoke rims, because together with the TKC80 they complete the look.

terrific, authentic G/S look

powerful brakes, powerful engine

Enduro-typical reduced to the bare essentials

custom bike ex works

Wire-spoke rims not standard

ASC not standard

dirt and trouser paint visible on seat bench
