Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CB650R 2020

Honda's CB650R proves brilliantly that four-cylinder naked bikes with little displacement are also a real source of joy on the country road. The engine tuning gives enough pressure from the hairpin bend and rewards with a wonderful four-cylinder shriek after a short wait. The suspension components clearly attempt a balancing act between everyday life and sportiness, which is why unrest can quickly be found in the vehicle when approaching the cornering at a brisk pace. Somehow, however, this imperfection gives the Honda a lot of character and gives the rider the feeling of having to actively integrate himself into the action. For country road racers with a daily commute, a real recommendation!

Rev-happy engine

reasonable power

sporty seating position

wide handlebars

very rideable motorbike

comfortable for everyday use

pretty display.

Weakness in the chassis can be seen as a disadvantage

not as much power from the hairpin as two-cylinder competition

KTM 890 Duke GP 2023

You could expect a lot behind the GP abbreviation. Is the 890 Duke GP therefore a deceptive package? Not necessarily, because with the unbelievably fun 890 Duke as a basis, which has been refined even further, you are buying a true joy dispenser with this naked bike, which will sweeten your everyday life and weekend rides. If only the quickshifter were fitted as standard...

powerful engine

comfortable ergonomics

comprehensive electronics package

lively handling

combination of riding fun and suitability for everyday use

very tight seat Quickshifter at extra cost
