KTM 790 Duke 2023

KTM 790 Duke 2023

The KTM scores with a terrific engine and a high-quality electronics package. The look divides the motorbike community. Not all motorcyclists like the front. In direct comparison with other bikes in the class, however, the price no longer seems as attractive as it used to!

Strong engine

Sporty engine that is superior to other bikes in this price range

Pleasant running culture from the engine

High-quality electronics

Good ergonomics for tall riders

Cheeky sound

Taut chassis for sporty riding.

Suspension not adjustable

Mediocre brakes

Relatively high price compared to other bikes in this class.

Yamaha R1 2015

Yamaha R1 2015

The new R1 is a big hit and no longer compares to the previous model. This was considered a good country road bike and heavy investments had to be made for excursions to the race track. Now it is the other way round. The new R1 has been developed with a clear focus on the race track. The electronics package seems outstanding, technology freaks will get their money's worth. Yamaha fans have to buy it, they finally have a worthy motorbike. The R1 has slight weaknesses when braking - it becomes a little unstable here. If you want to buy a ready-made racing bike without having to work on the chassis, you'd better go for the R1M. The Öhlins electronic suspension works perfectly and has no weaknesses. For pure racetrack use, the second weakness of the R1 can easily be ironed out. The torque hole in the middle can be easily ironed out with a new mapping.
