Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 790 Duke 2026

The 2027 KTM 790 Duke isn’t a completely new bike, but it feels like a much-needed fresh start. The familiar twin-cylinder engine delivers 95 Horsepower – more than enough power for country roads – the new WP suspension suits its sporty character, the brakes are finely modulated and the ergonomics have been noticeably improved. The unpainted decals show that this bike was developed with a focus on cost-effectiveness. And taller riders should check the knee angle. However, these are not issues that detract from the overall package.

A powerful and practical twin-cylinder engine delivering 95 horsepower and 87 nm

a very well-balanced WP suspension with a sporty base set-up

new ergonomics with an open handlebar and good ground contact

new WP braking system with precise modulation

no more ‘demo mode’ in the electronics packages

a target price of under 10,000 euros makes it very competitive

Below 3,000 rpm, the engine may jerk slightly

the optional cruise control cannot be deactivated by turning the throttle grip anti-clockwise

taller riders should check the sportier knee angle

unpainted stickers highlight the pressure on pricing

Quickshifter Plus, cruise control and Track mode remain optional

Yamaha MT-07 Y-AMT 2026

Even with automated shifting, the Yamaha MT-07 Y-AMT remains what has characterised it for years: an uncomplicated, honest all-rounder. The Y-AMT expands the character in a meaningful way, taking the stress out of everyday riding and getting started without killing the riding pleasure. In manual mode in particular, the system impresses with its fast, stable shifting performance and real added value - even on the race track. Those looking for maximum control and classic mechanics will still prefer to use the clutch themselves. However, those who value relaxation, safety and accessibility will find the MT-07 Y-AMT one of the most versatile options in its class.

Very accessible, easy to ride bike

Y-AMT takes the stress out of everyday life, city traffic and critical situations

Ideal for beginners, returning riders and relaxed everyday riders

Manual Y-AMT mode works like a precise finger quickshifter

More stability when leaning due to permanently steady left foot

Prevents downshifting too early (engine protection, safety)

Strong character, revvy CP2 engine

Large accessories market, high level of customisability

Proven reliability and suitability for everyday use

Automatic mode on the race track sometimes choppy and unpredictable

No lean angle-dependent shift logic

Shifting in automatic mode is sometimes rough

Sporty riders miss some feedback from the front wheel

For purists, "the flavour" of classic clutching is missing
