Yamaha MT-07 2021
Simply casual motorcycling! The MT-07 conveys carefree joie de vivre and you love to waggle the lively machine through the bends. The engine is still a guarantee for riding fun.

KTM 690 Duke 2013
For pure fun, the 690 Duke without the R is already sufficient. The potent single-cylinder engine is almost identical, as is the weight and handling, and the appearance is too similar to be a real selling point for the 690 Duke R.
