KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019
The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.
Kawasaki Z900 RS 2020
The Kawasaki Z900 RS is the perfect blend of classic design and modern technology. The silky-smooth four-cylinder engine offers linear power delivery and impressive elasticity in all rev ranges. The suspension combines comfort and stability, ideal for long distances and sporty rides. Despite the lack of wind protection, the Z900 RS impresses with a comfortable riding position and agile handling characteristics. Visually, it is reminiscent of the legendary Z1, while modern features such as traction control and high-quality workmanship round off the overall package. For anyone looking for a retro look with modern performance, the Z900 RS is a reliable and versatile companion - both for everyday use and when touring.
