Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2026

Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2026

Even though you have a 214 hp rocket under your bum, the new V4 Streetfighter is very easy to ride, even for inexperienced riders, thanks to its pleasant power delivery, very stable riding performance and pleasant ergonomics. The enormous stability is particularly impressive for an undisguised bike and clearly sets the new Ducati above the competition. Apart from the high price, the biggest shortcoming of the new V4 is probably the self-control required to avoid being handcuffed in traffic.

KTM 990 Duke R 2026

KTM 990 Duke R 2026

The KTM 990 Duke R is a more versatile road bike. Its 947-cm³ twin-cylinder engine delivers powerful, precisely controllable torque from just above idle speed, combining 103 nm of torque with a surprisingly refined running character. The upright, supermoto-style ergonomics and wide handlebars make it a joy to ride on mountain passes, without displaying the nervousness that sometimes characterised earlier Dukes. The brakes, suspension and electronics are all of a high standard. It is therefore the clear choice for everyday use, country roads and fast mountain passes.

Powerful torque right from the lowest revs

Very smooth running and precise control

Stable suspension with excellent feedback

Upright and playful supermoto ergonomics

Powerful Brembo brakes requiring minimal lever effort

Comprehensive and user-friendly electronics

Highly practical for everyday use for such a sporty naked bike

Relatively acute knee angle

Comfort on very long stages is considered to be only limited

More than enough power for narrow roads
