Pros and Cons in comparison
Yamaha R7 2022

Those who expect the Yamaha R7 to be a half-hearted solution will be surprised at how well-balanced the little supersports bike is. Of course, the engine with just over 70 hp doesn't have what it takes to challenge the R6, for example, but the engine with its punch from below fits the character perfectly. The chassis components are of high quality, even fully adjustable at the front, and the handling of the slim grenade is absolutely awesome. The seating position is fine, not as radical as on a real super sports bike, and therefore suitable for everyday use.

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R retains its brute character for 2022 if you take the beast by the horns. But the Hyper Naked from Mattighofen is also convincing in everyday use and presents itself as a mature all-round companion. Small details could use a little love, but nothing that spoils the positive overall impression of the 1290 Super Duke R.
