KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2015

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R is undoubtedly a beast in terms of its data - 173 hp, 144 Newton metres of torque, 189 kilos dry weight are values with which you can make an impression on the quarter mile. It's almost a miracle that the Austrian is so easy to handle and agile despite its 1301 cubic capacity. On the country road it is therefore enormous fun, but on the race track you have to have a very precise riding style in order not to have to work a lot on the Super Duke R - but admittedly a very nice form of work! In addition, the expensive Special Edition can fully score visually with its many power parts and the beautiful paintwork

Superb engine

agile handling

comfortable seating position

bombastic braking system

classy look

somewhat nervous handling on the racetrack

high price

Ducati Hypermotard 939 2018

The Ducati Hypermotard 939 is a real Hollywood star that has already starred in 21 films and TV series. Even on the set of the 2018 naked bike comparison, its looks stole the show from most bikes. As befits a Hollywood starlet, however, the Ducati can be a little bitchy from time to time. For example, it's hard to start off when cold, and its soft forks also make it a little nervous in fast corners. But when you conquer the bull, the feelings of happiness are indescribable and you are rewarded with a wonderful V2 Testastretta sound. Perhaps the biggest drawback: its outdated LCD display, which doesn't fit in at all with the Italian design composition.

engine full of character
