Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2008
Are there so many people who don't need 100 hp to stabilise their ego? I think with previous single-cylinder models, it was always the design that was the problem, not the lack of power. The Duke manages to look really high-quality even as a small single-cylinder.
Suzuki DR-Z4SM 2025
With its 398cc single cylinder and geometry, the Suzuki DR-Z4SM provides plenty of riding pleasure. Easy handling, height agility, decent acceleration. It is a real fun bike, especially in winding areas, on short distances or in city traffic. With the 8.7-litre tank, it can theoretically cover 256 km, but a stress-free 200 km to the next stop is always realistic. Yet there are points of criticism. At 9,699 euros in Germany and 9,990 euros in Austria, it is priced in the premium segment. At this price, we would have expected more: more power, sixth gear, quickshifter, adjustable levers or a more comfortable seat. The bottom line is that the DR-Z4SM is a stylish, agile A2 supermoto with reasonable maintenance intervals, which is great fun in the city and on the track, but still has air at high rpms in terms of price-performance ratio.
