Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR600RR 2024

The Honda CBR600RR is a superb sports bike that delivers impressive riding pleasure and precise handling. The well-tuned suspension, powerful brakes and reliable quickshifter ensure an excellent riding experience, particularly on winding roads. The comfortable riding position and the modern display further contribute to the positive overall impression. However, there are also a few weaknesses: the heat generated by the under-seat exhaust can become uncomfortable in city traffic and when riding slowly, and the engine’s power at low revs leaves something to be desired. Furthermore, the soft suspension can reach its limits on the race track. Overall, the CBR600RR is an outstanding bike for sporty riders who are prepared to accept these compromises.

Excellent riding pleasure and precise handling

Powerful brakes with excellent modulation

Reliable quickshifter

Comfortable, sporty riding position

Modern display and high-quality controls

The underseat exhaust becomes very hot when riding slowly

Lack of torque and power at low revs

Soft suspension can be a disadvantage on the race track

KTM RC 390 2022

The KTM RC 390 presents itself as a sporty and dynamic bike that is particularly suitable for riders looking for an agile and manoeuvrable machine. Its fully adjustable suspension and low weight ensure precise and easy handling, while the comprehensive electronics package, including the innovative supermoto ABS, offers additional safety and riding pleasure. The engine, on the other hand, shows weaknesses in power delivery, especially at low revs, which is not what you would expect from a single-cylinder engine. The aggressive riding position is a double-edged sword: it enables a sporty riding experience, but can be uncomfortable for longer rides.
