KTM 790 Duke 2020

A sporty naked bike that not only has enough power, but also playful handling and high-quality equipment - the KTM 790 Duke ticks all the boxes. If the looks don't bother you, it's hard to find anything the 790 can't do well, because in its hunting ground - the country road - it forms a wonderfully rounded package that doesn't really leave anything to be desired. Initial teething troubles have also been solved, which is why the KTM 790 Duke is still a real recommendation!

All in all, we think the Kawasaki Z 750 is right to wear the R. It is definitely a lot of fun on trackdays. However, if you want to hunt for lap times energetically, you have to invest in the chassis. Primarily to gain lean angle clearance. After that, you could even think about an "RR" in the name abbreviation.

Confident engine

excellent braking system and ABS.

Stability - unsteadiness in the chassis.
