CFMOTO 450NK 2024

The CFMOTO 450 NK proves to be a surprisingly solid and price-conscious alternative in the naked bike segment. It offers good engine performance with smooth running and a throaty sound, an accessible riding position and a pleasant riding performance. Despite some weaknesses such as the torsion-prone fork under heavy braking and the very labby clutch, it has no serious shortcomings and is a real option for riders looking for an inexpensive, yet powerful bike. On the other hand, it also offers no advantages over the competition in this class. The price advantage is not big enough.
KTM 390 Duke 2022

The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.
