Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

The KTM is and remains the most brutal naked bike on the market. The upright seating position combined with the wild V2 power make it seem more brutal than it is on paper. It has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs smoother, the shift assistant brings calm in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved. It still loves the wild chase more than high cornering speed on long bends.

Provides the most adrenaline rush

Extensive configuration options when buying

Grandiose brakes

Great original equipment tyres

Practical electronic features

Great seating position for tall people

Electronic features can be set very sporty and also deactivated.

Shift assistant nice, but in direct comparison with other power nakeds a bit rough

Exhausting to ride

Precise stroke not always easy to hit

The most dangerous motorbike for the driving licence on the market.

Husqvarna Nuda 900 R 2013

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.
