Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki SFV 650 Gladius 2012
The Suzuki Gladius SFV 650 is an honest, easy-to-understand bike with a strong confidence factor. It does not impress with extremes, but with its balance, suitability for everyday use and an engine that loses none of its charm even after years. A bike that gives pleasure for a lengthy period of time without demanding or boring its rider.
KTM 890 Duke R 2021
The KTM 890 Duke R is the sportiest evolutionary stage of the 890 Duke. More power, firmer chassis, sharper brakes - these ingredients, together with the already low vehicle weight, make it a real precision machine. A fast and cool bike for riding fun fetishists, ambitious home track heaters and, last but not least, a real recommendation for trackday visitors. However, the sporty positioning of the upper body and the somewhat more acute knee angle come at the expense of comfort. Last but not least, the adjustable suspension in the basic setup is really crisply tuned. If you want to enjoy the powerful 890 engine and the high-quality electronics a little more comfortably, you can still go for the basic model with a clear conscience.
