KTM 690 Duke 2017

Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.
Yamaha MT-07 2019

Even the first MT-07 series was an insanely good basis for sporty riding on naked bikes. With the 2018 model, Yamaha has finally managed to bring the full potential of the CP2 engine to the road. Keyword: chassis. Thanks to simple interventions, the suspension components now have the sporty character we have long desired. The refreshed look also makes them appear much more grown-up. Only the gauges and gearshift units seem a little outdated - but here you can see why the MT-07 is offered at such a competitive price!
