KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2019

KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2019

KTM has not brought a completely new Superduke GT for 2019, but has improved the improved the machine in detail. Conclusion: Extremely successful! Simply an amazing rocket!

Improved engine smoothness

Brutal steam hammer characteristic has been retained

Engine incredibly powerful - even at 180 km/h upwards

Top functioning automatic gearshift with blipper is on board

Very easy to control - even if you switch off the very well functioning electronics

Adjustable footrest system

Clear and easy-to-read 6.5 inch TFT display

Design is still a matter of taste despite optical "slimming"

Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R 2025

Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R 2025

If you are looking for a light-footed small city motorbike, you will probably not find what you are looking for in the Rocket 3 Storm. However, if you are looking for a sporty muscle bike with a hammer engine that provides exemplary running culture in addition to power, then this is the bike for you. This not only ensures a powerful appearance in front of the ice cream parlour, but also riding pleasure on the way there, even if it leads through winding mountain roads!

Powerful performance

Super engine

Good driveability despite the weight

Slight load change reaction

Suspension a little "stubborn"

Engine roll torque when stationary
