KTM 790 Duke 2018
The KTM 790 Duke L is an absolutely sporty naked bike with a high fun factor. Whether a beginner rider can handle it depends very much on his or her personality and riding behaviour. There are certainly motorbikes better suited for learning, but sporty radius hunters will hardly be satisfied with anything else. The 790 Duke L is also rather unenthusiastic about everyday rides in the city. On the country road, however, it's a blast, even with only 48 hp. Simply a fun bike as it is written in the book.
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.
