Pros and Cons in comparison

Yamaha XSR700 2023

Can do everything but nothing well? A clear NO! The lively and agile retro bike with a sufficiently powerful engine can be a good all-rounder, which also looks good and tempts you to heat up the curves. Overall, the bike is fantastically manageable and sporty for me, even as a woman. The engine works better than expected and the seating position is more than comfortable. However, there is still room for improvement in terms of lean angle. I think that many people will continue to choose this bike because you simply can't go far wrong.

successful design

proven CP2 engine

comfortable seating position

an all-rounder suitable for every situation on the road

Display difficult to read

Relatively soft chassis

Rather little lean angle clearance

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
