KTM 890 Duke 2021

KTM 890 Duke 2021

The predecessor 790 Duke already proved that KTM knows how to build a mid-range naked bike for the road. The new 890 carries the torch with a puffy chest and once again lives up to its scalpel nickname. Lively, it pulls the radii and gives off a certain nervousness that can be interpreted as a wild character. The equipment is almost complete - but only almost. Why do you have to pay extra for the quickshifter when it was standard on the predecessor? It is all the more annoying that the clutchless upshifting and downshifting functions as smoothly as butter and that one would not want to do without it.

Rev-happy engine

lively handling

buttery-smooth quickshifter

electronics package

does not arouse a desire for the R version on the country road.

Quickshifter at extra cost

Suzuki GSX-8S Evo 2024

Suzuki GSX-8S Evo 2024

The Suzuki GSX-8S is a great bike for all bikers who like a racy ride but still appreciate agility, a well-behaved engine and comfort. The EVO version of the GSX-8S is a real eye-catcher and emphasises the modern design even more. The many colour combinations of the sticker kit make the EVO model a highlight.

Agile riding performance

benevolent engine

unusual looks

EVO windscreen optimises ergonomics

35kW throttle possible

Rather nervous at low revs

Rough quickshifter
