Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 990 Duke 2025
In a direct comparison, the KTM 990 Duke is the more sensible choice, without feeling sensible or even boring. Its 123 Horsepower twin-cylinder engine delivers the same powerful grunt from low revs as the R, runs smoothly and is hardly any less fun on country roads. The softer WP suspension also offers sufficient support for a very sporty pace, whilst remaining slightly more accessible in everyday use and on longer journeys. For most riders, the standard Duke is perfectly adequate. It’s only during very hard braking manoeuvres, at high cornering speeds or with regular track use that it reaches its limits sooner than the R. Those who can do without the more modern touchscreen get a powerful, versatile naked bike with surprisingly good long-distance capabilities.
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2026
**Conclusion** The Triumph Street Triple RS impresses as a sporty naked bike with precise and stable riding performance, excellent brakes and a powerful three-cylinder engine. The comprehensive electronic equipment and high build quality round off the positive overall picture. Despite the tight setup and the necessary warm-up time for the tyres, the Street Triple RS offers an outstanding riding experience for riders with sporting ambitions. Minor weaknesses such as the cumbersome operation of the joystick and the moderate spray protection are more than compensated for by the bike's versatility and customisation options. Overall, the Street Triple RS is an excellent choice for those who value sporty precision and riding pleasure.
