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.
Suzuki GSX-8R 2024

The Suzuki GSX-8R takes the popular and excellent recipe of the 8S and packs it into a high-quality package in the road sports class. With its lively riding performance, it can score points on country roads without being too extreme for everyday use. Although the price is higher than its naked bike sister, those who want a sportier bike should go for the GSX-8R.
