Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

BMW S 1000 R 2018

BMW S 1000 R 2018

The BMW S 1000 R impresses across the board and is much more than just a naked version of the S 1000 RR. With its own character, more torque in the mid-range and first-class electronics, it sets new standards in the high-performance Naked segment. The overall package of brutal performance, excellent suspension and practical everyday use makes it one of the best naked bikes ever - and at a surprisingly fair price.

Brutal performance with 160 Horsepower

Outstanding DDC suspension

Amazing stability at high speeds for a naked bike

Perfect electronics with sensitive DTC

Good price/performance ratio

Character despite perfection

Driving mode display font too small

Too extreme appearance for BMW traditionalists

Without equipment packages, important electronic features are missing

The price advantage is lost with full features

KTM 990 Duke 2024

KTM 990 Duke 2024

The new KTM 990 Duke offers terrific power, both in relaxed everyday riding and on winding country roads. Sachs with the disappointing braking performance is therefore particularly painful here. In my opinion, the KTM remains virtually unrivalled in the upper mid-range when it comes to road fun. Even the excessively high price, when compared with the competition, is not an exclusion criterion for me. According to me, there is no other bike in this segment that is so lively, that combines stability and nimble handling so superbly and also offers such a height of everyday usability. A modern KTM Duke with two cylinders is quite simply a unique bike.

Lively and powerful engine with manners

Comfortable riding position

Playful handling

High stability

Excellent chassis with lots of feedback and stability

Modern electronics with lean angle-dependent traction control and cornering ABS

Smooth 2-cylinder in the lower rev range without jerking

Strong acceleration in the lower rev range

Versatility for both everyday riding and sporty riding

Confident riding performance even in wet conditions

Very light and agile

High-quality display and pleasant operation of the switches

Polarised design

Price/performance ratio below average compared to competitors

gearstick on the test bike too bony and harsh this time

blipper function could give more intermediate throttle

feedback from suspension not perfect

engine slightly raw at low revs compared to three- or four-cylinder bikes

polarised design
