Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha WR450F 2015

The new WR 450F is a genuine racing enduro that is technically and innovatively at the forefront. A Kayaba chassis that is unparalleled in series production, top brakes. A slightly larger tag would be fine and a little more "carburettor feeling" in the rev range. But the best thing is the possibilities offered by the uncomplicated Powertuner.

Larger brake disc

air filter behind cylinder head

central weight distribution

agile handling

Power tuner accessories

somewhat top-heavy

Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono RVE 2024

With the Hypermotard 698 Mono, Ducati has produced an incredibly good debut model! The bike takes all the qualities you look for in a road-legal supermoto and raises them to a highly modern and mature level. You won't find a comparable single-cylinder engine these days, while the electronics package rounds off the concept. Yet it is pure, unreasonable and playful - like a real hooligan bike.

powerful and modern single-cylinder

great sound as standard

extensive electronics package

fully adjustable suspension

top handling

low weight

Fuel gauge would be helpful
