BMW F 900 XR 2023

A bike in this performance class probably couldn't be more accessible. The XR waggles playfully through the bends and immediately inspires confidence in the saddle. Even lengthy touring is easy and you always get out of the saddle feeling relaxed. However, the sporty look of the BMW also awakens a desire for some thrills. However, the engine cannot quite fulfil this desire. The engine, transmission and quickshifter are a little too tame overall and could do with a little more sportiness.
KTM 390 Duke 2017

It's actually incredible how much fun you can have with less than 50 hp. The KTM 390 Duke is a little fun cannon that you won't find anywhere else in a hurry. Its sporty set-up with the front-wheel-oriented seating position makes it a true cornering predator - you don't need any more in the angular gear. The sharp looks and the TFT display give it a very high-class appearance.
