Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 990 Super Duke R 2010

Engine, chassis and brakes mastered the tough test in the race perfectly. The world press was convinced and is now reporting around the globe about a race on a racing motorbike that is actually a normal road bike with registration, warranty and number plate.

Powerful engine

plenty of power

positive handling

sophisticated design

adjustment options

braking system.

Chassis is not suitable for beginners

visually remains the same.

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019

The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.

Provides a wonderful adrenaline rush

extensive configuration options

terrific brakes with cornering ABS

practical electronic features

great seating position

electronic features can be set very sporty and also deactivated

very good shift assistant

Precise stroke not always easy to hit

one of the most dangerous motorbikes for the driving licence on the market
