Honda NC750S 2015

We like to avoid talking about motorbikes as utility vehicles, but the NC 750 S is so useful that it makes that word likeable again. The storage compartment under the dummy tank is still unique and an ingenious feature of this naked bike that shines not with sportiness and action, but with almost perfect function and usability. With the additional riding modes, the DCT now works even better. A motorbike, not for stunt riders, but for city and country riders.

KTM 690 Duke 2015

It is unbelievable how cultivated KTM has developed the single-cylinder without sacrificing performance. It can be considered a stroke of genius that, within the framework of the EURO4 standard, the engine's running culture was raised while at the same time increasing power. The flat torque curve is responsible for the smooth, powerful propulsion. From 4000 revs, the Duke pushes hard and revs up to 8500 revs. Even at low revs, the engine does not stutter or swallow, which is an advantage in the city. The Duke's greatest strength, apart from its rideability, is its manoeuvrability, which is why it can confidently be called a toy. It's only when you're on the racetrack and attacking hard that you wish you had the "R" under your bum.
