Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2019

BMW S 1000 R 2019

The BMW S 1000 R impresses across the board and is much more than just a naked version of the S 1000 RR. With its own character, more torque in the mid-range and first-class electronics, it sets new standards in the high-performance Naked segment. The overall package of brutal performance, excellent suspension and practical everyday use makes it one of the best naked bikes ever - and at a surprisingly fair price.

Brutal performance with 160 Horsepower

Outstanding DDC suspension

Amazing stability at high speeds for a naked bike

Perfect electronics with sensitive DTC

Good price/performance ratio

Character despite perfection

Driving mode display font too small

Too extreme appearance for BMW traditionalists

Without equipment packages, important electronic features are missing

The price advantage is lost with full features

KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2019

KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2019

KTM has not brought a completely new Superduke GT for 2019, but has improved the improved the machine in detail. Conclusion: Extremely successful! Simply an amazing rocket!

Improved engine smoothness

Brutal steam hammer characteristic has been retained

Engine incredibly powerful - even at 180 km/h upwards

Top functioning automatic gearshift with blipper is on board

Very easy to control - even if you switch off the very well functioning electronics

Adjustable footrest system

Clear and easy-to-read 6.5 inch TFT display

Design is still a matter of taste despite optical "slimming"
