Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 390 Duke 2018
The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.
Aprilia RS 457 2024
The Aprilia RS 457 presents itself as an impressive bike in the A2 category, with its harmonious combination of powerful engine, sporty riding dynamics and appealing design. The engine delivers dynamic power and the suspension offers a sporty and precise riding experience. The ergonomics and sound also contribute to a positive overall impression. However, there are weaknesses in the brakes, particularly in terms of modulation and the behaviour of the ABS system at the limit.
