Triumph Speed Triple R 2017

Triumph Speed Triple R 2017

Like its predecessor, the Speed Triple R delights with its high-quality, sensitively responding Öhlins suspension and its stunning looks. The design remains true to its line - which can only please the many fans. The engine's braking and responsiveness can hardly be complained about, but the lack of power on the competition and the somewhat sluggish handling can certainly be forgiven, after all, the Speed Triple is a classic with history and the design is legendary - which is much more important to true fans than the one or two extra horsepower.

KTM 790 Duke 2020

KTM 790 Duke 2020

A sporty naked bike that not only has enough power, but also playful handling and high-quality equipment - the KTM 790 Duke ticks all the boxes. If the looks don't bother you, it's hard to find anything the 790 can't do well, because in its hunting ground - the country road - it forms a wonderfully rounded package that doesn't really leave anything to be desired. Initial teething troubles have also been solved, which is why the KTM 790 Duke is still a real recommendation!
