Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 690 Duke 2011

KTM 690 Duke 2011

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.

At first glance, the Husqvarna Svartpilen 701 looks like a classic second motorbike. But in the saddle, it presents itself as a pleasing and accessible universal talent. It makes experienced riders happy and pleases beginners in equal measure. The surcharge on the 401 is considerable, but it pays off at the latest at higher speeds on great motorbike routes. There, the Svartpilen 701 can go at a fast pace!

Great chassis with smooth handling - yet not nervous

Engine is a real gem for single-cylinder fans

Pleasant seating position in city traffic

Pleases even on bad asphalt - very wide range of use.

Vibrations are a little annoying on long motorway journeys

hard seat for driver and passenger

cockpit not very easy to read.
