Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 690 Duke R 2013

KTM 690 Duke R 2013

That the KTM 690 Duke R is the better motorbike is clear just from looking at the two machines from the outside. The Akrapovic exhaust and the WP suspension elements simply work and sound better.

Monobloc brakes

Akrapovic exhaust

WP suspension elements

higher lean angle clearance.

Lack of comfort

no weather protection

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2009

Triumph Speed Triple 1050 2009

Euphoria spread through the long bends. The Triple is a bit more expensive than some Nippon Nakeds with cheap chassis and you can feel it. It remains stable, you can open the throttle hard and you hit the line exactly.

More power

increased torque

reduced weight

agility

greatly improved geometry

precise and fast.
