Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 390 Duke 2021
The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.
Yamaha XSR700 2024
Can do everything but nothing well? A clear NO! The lively and agile retro bike with a sufficiently powerful engine can be a good all-rounder, which is also visually appealing and tempts you to heat up the corners. Overall, I find the bike fantastically nimble and sporty and agile, even as a woman. The engine works better than expected and the riding position is more than comfortable. In terms of maximum lean angle, however, there would have been some air at high rpms. I think that many people will continue to choose this bike because there is simply not much you can do wrong.
