KTM 390 Duke 2017

It's actually incredible how much fun you can have with less than 50 hp. The KTM 390 Duke is a little fun cannon that you won't find anywhere else in a hurry. Its sporty set-up with the front-wheel-oriented seating position makes it a true cornering predator - you don't need any more in the angular gear. The sharp looks and the TFT display give it a very high-class appearance.

Like the Kawasaki Versys, the small V-Strom is getting on a bit. The 1000 is so well done and easy to ride that you should consider taking the "big one" right away. In terms of versatility, however, the 650 is in no way inferior to the big V-Strom, and at a much lower price. But we wouldn't take it to the racetrack any more. And of course it has to cope with a heavy load more than a motorbike with 100+ hp.
