Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2022

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R retains its brute character for 2022 if you take the beast by the horns. But the Hyper Naked from Mattighofen is also convincing in everyday use and presents itself as a mature all-round companion. Small details could use a little love, but nothing that spoils the positive overall impression of the 1290 Super Duke R.
