Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade 2011
Honda has lovingly and logically developed the CBR 1000 RR in detail. The Fireblade remained as it always was - just a little better. We were fast, we rode safely, we had fun, and in these difficult conditions. The total control thing is much more than brochure talk. It's a 20-year-old religion worth believing in.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018
The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.
