KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

The KTM is and remains the most brutal naked bike on the market. The upright seating position combined with the wild V2 power make it seem more brutal than it is on paper. It has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs smoother, the shift assistant brings calm in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved. It still loves the wild chase more than high cornering speed on long bends.
Ducati Hypermotard 950 2019

A true poser bike that does not have to hide on the country road. On the Ducati Hypermotard, you automatically feel cooler - from the moment you fire up the magnificent V2 to the moment you get off the saddle completely exhausted. Compared to other supermotos, the Ducati Hypermotard 950 needs to be ridden with determination, and that demands constant concentration. But it rewards this with brutal acceleration and a stable cornering position - no matter what speed. If you want to take an even sportier approach and perhaps make a detour to the race track now and then, you should go for the SP version. But for self-confident country road hunters, an excellent choice!
