KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2016

KTM knows no turning back and KTM knows no quarter. That's why the new 1290 Super Duke R is a little easier to handle than its predecessor, but also a little stronger and faster. Already at 2500 rpm, over 100 Nm are available, the maximum is 141, the top performance is stated at 177 hp. That may be too much, but it doesn't have to be. The electronics remain the lifeline in this category, where development continues to move forward strongly. KTM has started where it had difficulties and that was stability. Changes to the geometry and chassis have improved this significantly, making the ride on the beast not only faster, but also safer. The handling is no less radical for that, and the supermoto genes are more evident than on any other naked bike. There can only be one Super Duke.

Aprilia RSV4 1100 Factory 2025

The Aprilia RSV4 Factory 2025 is not a completely new bike, but a consistent evolution. Fine-tuned electronics, revised controls and the new Brembo brakes are the biggest innovations. Otherwise, it remains an uncompromising superbike with 220 Horsepower, precise suspension and a ride feel that guarantees goosebumps. In short: the RSV4 Factory 2025 is not a bike for everyone, but a dream for enthusiasts. A bike that demands respect - and offers an incomparable riding experience in return.

Very well tuned engine, which is not only capable of race tracks but also country roads

very good electronic suspension, which can be easily adjusted via the new display

wonderful feeling for the front wheel

good seating position, if you are not significantly taller than 1.85 metres

brakes very well dosed and powerful in bite

still good Aprilia V4 sound, despite Euro5+

Rather lengthy standard gear ratio

clutch lever not adjustable
