Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2017
With generous standard equipment, a retuned engine and unmistakably edgy KTM design, the 1290 Super Duke GT aims to enter the sport touring segment. With rideable performance and the full power of the naked bike in the spirit of the "Ready-to-Race" credo, it stands out from the competition not only visually. The mattighofen sports fanatics even fit heated grips and cruise control to offer frequent riders a nice spot. Somehow they still manage to remain credible and to trigger storms of enthusiasm in the rider.
Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 2022
Like its predecessor, the Aprilia Tuono V4 is a naked bike and not an explicit touring machine. However, the technicians from Noale have very cleverly raised the handlebars compared to the Factory version, fitted a more comfortable saddle and attached a larger windshield. This means that the Tuono V4 still looks really smart, but can actually go on bigger tours than its extremely sporty sister. The suspension of the normal Tuono V4 has to do without electronic adjustability (which would make perfect sense on a touring machine), but the Sachs suspension elements are fully adjustable. Handling, on the other hand, is wonderfully sporty thanks to the stable chassis, and the brakes can be applied firmly without appearing too aggressive. There is no lack of electronic helpers, while the standard cruise control emphasises the touring character, wheelie and launch control make it clear that the "Tourono V4" also wants to let it rip!
