Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW F 900 R 2024

BMW F 900 R 2024

The BMW F 900 R is a full-grown motorbike. 895 cc, 105 hp and 92 Nm smell of versatility. The F 900 R fulfils this promise completely. The motorbike, including electronics and components, does a great job in every situation. But of all things, the heart of the bike, the engine and transmission unit, does not shine in premium gloss.

Great cockpit and functional connectivity

Extensive electronics can be operated logically

Very accessible but still very casual handling

Motorcycle rides bland and reserved but also wild and sporty when needed

Pleasant seating position

Wide choice of equipment and configuration options

Low and high seat options available

Suspension allows wide range of use - comfortable but also direct and precise.

Gearstick a little stiff - with and without quickshifter

Engine runs a little rough and exudes little elegance at the top

Poor splash guard at the rear

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2021

The KTM Super Duke R has evolved perfectly over the generations: The engine is strong, has a huge amount of torque and in the current version also works excellently from low revs. However, the excellent interaction of all components is responsible for the overall wonderful performance of the big Duke. The active seating position is comfortable and unbelievably driving-friendly, the chassis is of a high standard, the brakes are powerful and the electronics are state of the art. Even the looks are now pleasing more and more critics. It's just a shame that you have to pay extra for the ingenious shift assistant with blipper.

wonderfully powerful engine with a lot of bang - especially from below and in the middle

super-agile and comfortable seating position

decent braking power

stable chassis, fully adjustable

comprehensive electronics package

acceptable consumption for the high power.

Shift assistant with blipper not standard
