KTM 690 Duke 2014

More than a decade after its launch, the KTM 690 Duke remains a fascinating bike with its own character. The attempt to turn the rebellious Duke into a bike with more mass appeal has proven to be a successful strategy. The combination of an outstanding LC4 engine, direct handling and good value for money continues to make it an attractive option for riders looking for something special. Although newer twin-cylinder models are superior in terms of smooth running and comfort, the 690 Duke offers an immediacy and character that only a large single-cylinder can deliver. As a used motorbike, it has proven to be surprisingly stable in value and durable - provided you pay attention to regular maintenance.
Yamaha MT-09 2018

A coherent motorbike where everything fits together. The motorbike delivers what its looks promise. High-tech, charisma and lots of adrenaline. It is a mixture of supermoto, naked bike and streetfighter and it loves to be handled irrationally. A cool motorbike. Only in comparison with the MT-09 SP does one begin to miss a high-quality chassis.
