Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha R1 2019
The 2020 R1 model - already available from September - is an evolutionary step that will benefit both the trackday racer and the Yamaha SBK team. The amateur is most likely to benefit from the truly perfect electronics and will also appreciate a little extra power.
KTM 390 Duke 2020
The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.
