Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda VFR 800 F 2014

The concept fits, both performance and comfort are tuned to the mid-range sports tourer. However, it is difficult to make comparisons with the competition - the VFR800F hardly has any. Other sports tourers are stronger, more unwieldy and weigh just as much.

Powerful impression

Optimal handling

Great sound

Pleasant handlebar position

Well-protecting windscreen.

Nix

Ducati SuperSport 2017

With the Supersport, Ducati has succeeded in creating a very attractive package that will appeal to every sporty, ambitious rider. It offers the looks of a racing machine, but has pleasant ergonomics, which means that distances of over 200km are no problem. The Testastretta engine has plenty of temperament and even more torque. Coupled with the sporty chassis, winding roads are a joy and it also does very well on the racetrack. For frequent use on circuits, however, the upgrade to the Supersport S with Öhlins suspension is recommended.
