KTM 690 Duke 2008

Are there so many people who don't need 100 hp to stabilise their ego? I think with previous single-cylinder models, it was always the design that was the problem, not the lack of power. The Duke manages to look really high-quality even as a small single-cylinder.

Stable frame

relatively low overall weight

good chassis

high-quality components

strong braking system

handling.

Significantly weaker single-cylinder engine

somewhat less comfort

somewhat less power.

Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber 2016

The V9 Bobber is an absolutely authentic model - both as a Moto Guzzi and as a bobber. The typical longitudinally mounted V2 engine with its cylinders projecting upwards at an angle is proudly displayed and dominates the minimalist lines that should characterise a bobber. The small and wide front wheel is particularly successful, at least visually. With its 55 hp, the engine does not stand out too much from the V7 series, but thanks to the low weight of only 200 kilos, nothing stands in the way of a brisk ride. The seating position also corresponds to the bobber style - sporty and upright, you can enjoy the ride on the noble and therefore not so expensive machine.

Cool look

cultivated engine

authentic appearance

well controllable brakes with inconspicuous ABS

the engine could be a little stronger
