KTM 790 Duke 2019

KTM 790 Duke 2019

A sporty naked bike that not only has enough power, but also playful handling and high-quality equipment - the KTM 790 Duke ticks all the boxes. If the looks don't bother you, it's hard to find anything the 790 can't do well, because in its hunting ground - the country road - it forms a wonderfully rounded package that doesn't really leave anything to be desired. Initial teething troubles have also been solved, which is why the KTM 790 Duke is still a real recommendation!

BMW R 1300 R 2026

BMW R 1300 R 2026

The BMW R 1300 R is a bike that is defined less by bare numbers than by the feeling it conveys. With 145 Horsepower, 149 Newton meters and 239 kg, it has strong data, but its true strength lies in the overall package: a superior engine, stable riding performance and a mature, relaxed character. It is not an aggressive sports machine, but a roadster for riders who appreciate torque, comfort and presence - and that is precisely where its appeal lies.

Very characterful boxer engine (149 Newton metres of torque)

Confident, stable riding performance

High level of comfort with 810 Millimeter seat height

Versatile transmission with ASA option

High-quality technology and features

High weight (239 kg wet weight) noticeable

More difficult to manoeuvre due to boxer design

Less agile than pure sport naked bikes
