Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

Honda CB750 Hornet 2023

The new Hornet 750 is a really successful naked bike that sets itself above most competitors in the upper entry-level bike class with its wonderfully agile and powerful engine, balanced handling and chassis, comfortable riding position and, last but not least, its extensive electronic equipment. Actually, it comes very close to the middle class, only the boring swingarm and the narrow 160 rear tyre (which, however, helps the handling enormously) do not quite fit into this segment. However, it is hardly more expensive than the entry-level bikes, and instead a few, sometimes even many thousands cheaper than the mid-range. That makes it an unbeatable offer!

The KTM 390 Duke is a bike that can polarise. Its strengths lie in its extensive electronic equipment, agile handling and ability to serve as a fun bike for young riders. However, the firm riding position and inconsistent engine tuning could be annoying for experienced riders. Yet the KTM 390 Duke offers plenty of riding pleasure, especially in urban environments and on sporty rides.
