Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
Triumph Street Triple 675 R 2012
All it takes is the slightest impulse and the little Englishwoman turns exactly the way you want it to. This manoeuvrability is also unparalleled in the class of medium-sized naked bikes. A motorbike that can be moved in such a sporty manner would not deserve to be abused as a mile-eater and travel steamer.
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.
