Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP 2019

The Honda CBR 1000 RR Fireblade SP may be a 1000cc bike, but it never looks threatening. It feels compact, inspires confidence and offers a lot of riding fun. A combination that not many motorbikes can manage. It is sensational on the country road, and great for trackdays on the race track. However, the road to a real racing machine is probably a little longer than with another 1000cc.

Low weight that you can also feel in the saddle

compact but not uncomfortable riding position

high-quality workmanship

sensible electronics package

easy and intuitive to move.

ABS first bottleneck on the race track

not suitable for racing applications

KTM 890 Duke R 2023

The KTM 890 Duke R is the sportiest evolutionary stage of the 890 Duke. More power, firmer chassis, sharper brakes - these ingredients, together with the already low vehicle weight, make it a real precision machine. A fast and cool bike for riding fun fetishists, ambitious home track heaters and, last but not least, a real recommendation for trackday visitors. However, the sporty positioning of the upper body and the somewhat more acute knee angle come at the expense of comfort. Last but not least, the adjustable suspension in the basic setup is really crisply tuned. If you want to enjoy the powerful 890 engine and the high-quality electronics a little more comfortably, you can still go for the basic model with a clear conscience.

powerful and rev-happy engine

finely controllable response

good (optional) quickshifter

sporty seating position ensures great front-wheel feel

high-quality adjustable suspension

powerful Brembo brakes

low vehicle weight

extensive (partly optional) electronics

Sitting position more demanding than on the basic model

tight basic set-up not to everyone's taste
