Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 890 Duke R 2023
The KTM 890 Duke R is the sportiest evolutionary stage of the 890 Duke. More power, firmer chassis, sharper brakes - these ingredients, together with the already low vehicle weight, make it a real precision machine. A fast and cool bike for riding fun fetishists, ambitious home track heaters and, last but not least, a real recommendation for trackday visitors. However, the sporty positioning of the upper body and the somewhat more acute knee angle come at the expense of comfort. Last but not least, the adjustable suspension in the basic setup is really crisply tuned. If you want to enjoy the powerful 890 engine and the high-quality electronics a little more comfortably, you can still go for the basic model with a clear conscience.
MV Agusta Stradale 800 2016
The MV Agusta Stradale 800 is no classic touring bike. It’s a fun bike with touring elements, a supermoto tourer with Italian grandiosity – and that’s precisely what makes it so appealing. The ergonomics are unusual, the engine needs revs, the transmission can feel a bit clunky, and the controls take some getting used to. But if you give it a chance, you’ll find yourself with a rare bike full of character, featuring a single swing arm, three cylinder exhaust, standard side panniers and a touch of recklessness that modern bikes often lack.
