Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2023
The KTM 1290 Super Duke R retains its brute character for 2022 if you take the beast by the horns. But the Hyper Naked from Mattighofen is also convincing in everyday use and presents itself as a mature all-round companion. Small details could use a little love, but nothing that spoils the positive overall impression of the 1290 Super Duke R.
Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2025
The high-quality suspension elements with the semi-active Öhlins suspension, the Brembo system with Brembo brake cylinder, the top-class quickshifter and the magnificent engine installed in the Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS make it a bike that bears the name "RS" not for marketing reasons, but because it has earned it. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of wind protection, because anyone who has ridden over 200 km on a naked bike knows how exhausting it is, even if you make yourself as small as possible. So if you plan to ride it on the race track more often, you could invest in some form of wind protection. All in all, it's a fantastic all-rounder bike that has proven its worth on the race track. On the one hand, it's an outstandingly fun country road bike thanks to its agility and torque. On the other hand, thanks to its top performance, premium equipment and stability, it is a sharp weapon on the race track that has nothing to hide from any super sports bike.
