Pros and Cons in comparison
Aprilia Dorsoduro 750 2009
The Dorsoduro 750 proves to be a well-balanced all-rounder that masters the balancing act between suitability for everyday use and riding pleasure. The then innovative electronic throttle control has proven to be reliable and, in combination with the characterful V2 engine, enables a wide range of uses. The combination of good-natured handling for beginners and sufficient potential for experienced riders is particularly convincing. The few technical weaknesses are well documented and predictable.
KTM 690 Duke 2019
Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.
