KTM 990 Duke 2024
The KTM 990 Duke is a bike with rough edges – in the truest sense of the word. It isn’t the perfect all-rounder, nor is it the most harmonious model in its class, but it has something that many other bikes lack: genuine character. Anyone looking for a naked bike that challenges and inspires them, that stirs the emotions and makes no compromises, will find a faithful companion in the Duke. It is the bike for individualists, for riders who are looking for something special and are prepared to make compromises to get it.
Yamaha MT-09 2014
The Yamaha MT-09 did not need to be reinvented for the coming season - it already was extremely well done almost four years ago. Instead, the Japanese focus on fine-tuning and adding practical, contemporary gimmicks such as traction control and automatic shifting. Due to the Euro4 standard, however, the engine management has been changed once again and offers an emphatically powerful but well controllable power delivery in standard mode; the power explosion of the first generation is now no longer offered even by the sharper A mode. The biggest change, recognisable at first glance, is the, in my opinion, extremely successful design with the more aggressive front and the newly designed rear. All in all, an even snazzier naked bike that was clearly built for the fun of motorcycling.
