Pros and Cons in comparison
CFMOTO 450MT 2024
The CFmoto 450MT is a compelling choice as a lightweight and comfortable bike for adventure touring enthusiasts seeking a good balance between size and weight. It offers satisfactory engine performance for off-road use. On the road, the twin-cylinder engine needs plenty of revs to get going, yet performs with confidence. The build quality and appearance are impressive, and the engine’s power delivery is linear and easy to control, apart from the load-change reactions. Minor criticisms concern the suspension, which reaches its limits under heavy use. Overall, the CFmoto 450MT offers good value for money and is an attractive choice for riders looking for a reliable and well-equipped enduro bike.
KTM 890 Duke R 2022
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.
