Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 890 Duke R 2022

The KTM 890 Duke R is the sportiest evolutionary stage of the 890 Duke. More power, firmer chassis, sharper brakes - these ingredients, together with the already low vehicle weight, make it a real precision machine. A fast and cool bike for riding fun fetishists, ambitious home track heaters and, last but not least, a real recommendation for trackday visitors. However, the sporty positioning of the upper body and the somewhat more acute knee angle come at the expense of comfort. Last but not least, the adjustable suspension in the basic setup is really crisply tuned. If you want to enjoy the powerful 890 engine and the high-quality electronics a little more comfortably, you can still go for the basic model with a clear conscience.
MV Agusta Turismo Veloce 800 Lusso 2022

The Turismo Veloce brings typical MV Agusta qualities - elegant design, high-quality features and furious Italo character - to the touring segment. It combines sportiness and long-distance suitability very well, but demands a lot of attention. You have to want the extravagant appearance and the elegant look of the Italian diva, because that's what you pay for. The prices asked for used Turismo Veloce bikes are limited, but then you have to deal with the mediocre reliability and poor spare parts supply. Definitely a bike for extroverted lovers of racy Italian motorbikes.
