Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 390 Duke 2022
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.
Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 2020
The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 offers a very coherent overall package in the retro segment. A relaxed seating position, lots of chrome and the cultivated two-cylinder make it a pretty object of desire that also stands up to everyday use. You won't find any modern features, but with an output of 47 hp, traction control and riding modes would be superfluous anyway. If you long for decelerated, relaxed cruising and purist motorcycling, you will definitely be happy with the Interceptor 650.
