KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018
The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.

Mixed breeds are usually robust and loyal companions. They may not have the appearance of a pedigree dog, but often combine the positive characteristics of several breeds in one creature. The Dorsoduro 1200 is also such a mongrel. And unlike most promenade mixes, it also looks good.
