KTM 890 Duke GP 2023

You could expect a lot behind the GP abbreviation. Is the 890 Duke GP therefore a deceptive package? Not necessarily, because with the unbelievably fun 890 Duke as a basis, which has been refined even further, you are buying a true joy dispenser with this naked bike, which will sweeten your everyday life and weekend rides. If only the quickshifter were fitted as standard...
BMW R 1200 R 2015

The predecessor was already able to be ridden in a sporty manner as well as convincing on tours, the new R 1200 R can do even more - thanks to the pannier system (of course at extra cost), travelling is still no problem, but it masters sport even better. Thanks to the now partially water-cooled boxer twin-cylinder engine, it is wonderfully agile - 125 hp may not seem like much on paper, but the engine pushes incredibly and behaves in a cultivated manner to boot. The chassis and brakes also score highly and the seating position is sporty and upright, covering a wide spectrum from wonderful fun to long-distance touring. Unfortunately, BMW also understands the trick with the surcharge list perfectly. The basic model is well equipped with ABS that can be deactivated, traction control that can also be deactivated and two driving modes, but many interesting gimmicks are almost obligatory - and of course drive the price way up.
