Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2018
Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.
Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 2017
The Dorsoduro 900 can do everything better than its predecessor, the Dorsoduro 750. The electronics with adjustable modes, ABS and traction control work flawlessly, and the engine now also has the necessary punch from below that makes a two-cylinder supermoto so much fun. Thanks to the high seating position, it is agile enough, but always remains stable and precise. The look is only slightly changed from the Dorso 750, but since the competition has given up in unison, the Dorsoduro 900 is the last of its kind and thus the only supermoto funbike on the market.
