Technical Specifications KTM 890 Duke 2021 compared to Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 890 Duke 2021

The predecessor 790 Duke already proved that KTM knows how to build a mid-range naked bike for the road. The new 890 carries the torch with a puffy chest and once again lives up to its scalpel nickname. Lively, it pulls the radii and gives off a certain nervousness that can be interpreted as a wild character. The equipment is almost complete - but only almost. Why do you have to pay extra for the quickshifter when it was standard on the predecessor? It is all the more annoying that the clutchless upshifting and downshifting functions as smoothly as butter and that one would not want to do without it.
Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022

With the Streetfighter V2, Ducati has modified the Panigale V2 super sports bike and made it suitable for everyday use. Despite its visual similarity to the Streetfighter V4, it has a character of its own and also has airs and graces that make life with it a little difficult, but interesting on the other hand. The jerky engine running at low revs obviously doesn't bother Ducatisti, however, and instead they are pleased with 153 hp that hangs well on the throttle, finely responsive chassis components, high-quality brakes and complete electronic equipment - only the fuel gauge was forgotten. Similar to its riding qualities, however, the Streetfighter V2 is also priced upwards in the direction of hyper-naked bikes.
