Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 390 Duke 2018
The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.
Yamaha XSR900 2023
The Yamaha XSR900 is a sporty retro bike with a powerful three-cylinder engine and modern electronics such as lean angle-dependent traction control and cornering ABS. It impresses with its stability, agile handling and firm suspension, although it does let bumps through on longer stages. It is ideal for lovers of sporty bikes with retro charm.
