Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2017
Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.
Husqvarna Nuda 900 R 2013
Even after more than 10 years since its launch, the Husqvarna Nuda 900 continues to inspire as the ultimate fun bike, especially in the R version. Its greatest strengths are its emotional, powerful yet precisely controllable engine, the dreamlike sound it produces, a potent suspension and its agile handling. As a sporty naked bike, it does not focus much on comfort and its long travel and high seat can cause problems for people with short legs. The biggest challenges, however, are its rarity at the time of purchase and then the lack of a manufacturer who feels responsible for spare parts and service.
