Ducati Streetfighter V2 S 2026
With the new Streetfighter V2, Ducati really has a highlight to offer. Even if the 120 hp might not knock some people's socks off, the new bike scores with its enormous stability and lightness. Thanks to its A2 suitability, it offers not only good access for beginners, but also plenty of riding pleasure for experienced riders. Despite its manageable power, it is particularly well positioned on the road thanks to its well thought-out overall concept. And for all those who like to throw data around at the pub-talk, Ducati has another ace up its sleeve with the new V4 Streetfighter.
KTM 990 Duke 2025
In a direct comparison, the KTM 990 Duke is the more sensible choice, without feeling sensible or even boring. Its 123 Horsepower twin-cylinder engine delivers the same powerful grunt from low revs as the R, runs smoothly and is hardly any less fun on country roads. The softer WP suspension also offers sufficient support for a very sporty pace, whilst remaining slightly more accessible in everyday use and on longer journeys. For most riders, the standard Duke is perfectly adequate. It’s only during very hard braking manoeuvres, at high cornering speeds or with regular track use that it reaches its limits sooner than the R. Those who can do without the more modern touchscreen get a powerful, versatile naked bike with surprisingly good long-distance capabilities.
