Pros and Cons in comparison
Suzuki GSX 1300 R Hayabusa 2021
The Hayabusa is an absolute legend, the first production motorbike to run at over 300 km/h cannot be dismissed as a minor matter. With the new Busa, however, Suzuki has recognised the signs of the times. The current model, with its extensive electronic equipment including cruise control as standard, is an excellent hyper-tourer. The ergonomics are still sport-oriented, but the rider sits well integrated in the machine and thus also enjoys good wind protection. The brakes are stable, the handling is fine and the chassis is wonderfully stable and mature. The icing on the cake is, of course, the huge 1340 cubic in-line four-cylinder engine, which impresses with its 190 hp alone. Even better, however, is the maximum torque of 150 Newton metres, which is felt to be available from idle speed. In terms of sovereignty, this engine is hard to beat!
KTM 125 Duke 2020
If you want an aggressive design, sporty and good handling as well as higher performance, especially in the upper rev range, you can't go wrong with the Duke. The attention to detail, for example in the form of the LED turn signals or the elaborate and multifunctional TFT display, are a KTM trademark. The only drawback is that it lacks a little power in the lower rev range.
