Pros and Cons in comparison
Ducati Streetfighter V4 S 2026
Even though you have a 214 hp rocket under your bum, the new V4 Streetfighter is very easy to ride, even for inexperienced riders, thanks to its pleasant power delivery, very stable riding performance and pleasant ergonomics. The enormous stability is particularly impressive for an undisguised bike and clearly sets the new Ducati above the competition. Apart from the high price, the biggest shortcoming of the new V4 is probably the self-control required to avoid being handcuffed in traffic.
KTM 990 Duke R 2026
The KTM 990 Duke R is a more versatile road bike. Its 947-cm³ twin-cylinder engine delivers powerful, precisely controllable torque from just above idle speed, combining 103 nm of torque with a surprisingly refined running character. The upright, supermoto-style ergonomics and wide handlebars make it a joy to ride on mountain passes, without displaying the nervousness that sometimes characterised earlier Dukes. The brakes, suspension and electronics are all of a high standard. It is therefore the clear choice for everyday use, country roads and fast mountain passes.
