Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 SMC R 2022
A large, powerful single cylinder, a stable chassis, just over 160 kg of tractive weight and modern electronics for support - the key data alone suggests a lot of riding pleasure. In 2024, the SMC-R may be a little dusty in some respects and is no longer the undisputed queen of road-legal supermotos, but it can still offer a lot of supermoto fun and performance.
Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 2019
Supermoto with strong naked bike genes. The Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 is the perfect choice for those who are looking for the feeling of a genuine supermoto, but do not want to do without the comfort and convenience of a naked bike. Its pleasantly smooth V2 and well-tuned chassis find a very fair compromise between emotional sports machine and everyday cruiser, which is why the Dorsoduro 900 can be recommended to a broad target group. Visual details such as the undersat exhaust or the red valve covers give it a lot of character even when stationary, even if the overall design seems a little outdated. The only downer is the operation of the display, which should have been much more intuitive.
