Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke GT 2020

Precisa de 175 cv ou mesmo de controlo de arranque numa moto de turismo? Claro que não. É divertida? Sem dúvida! Embora a Super Duke GT não consiga esconder os seus genes e seja inegavelmente uma Duke em termos de agilidade e potência em curva, apesar dos seus 209 kg de peso a seco, ainda é possível passear de forma descontraída, assumindo sempre uma certa "maturidade" com estes dados de desempenho, claro. Porque ao contrário da Super Duke R ou mesmo de uma 890 Duke R, não me sugere constantemente a faca entre os dentes, mas sim uma sensação de soberania, livremente de acordo com o lema "eu posso, mas não preciso". E tudo isto vem equipado de série, como seria de esperar de uma moto que custa 22.499 euros na Áustria ou 19.053 euros na Alemanha.

A KTM 790 Duke L é uma moto naked absolutamente desportiva com um elevado fator de diversão. Se um condutor principiante consegue lidar com ela depende muito da sua personalidade e comportamento de condução. Existem certamente motos mais adequadas para a aprendizagem, mas os caçadores de raios desportivos dificilmente ficarão satisfeitos com outra coisa. A 790 Duke L também não é muito entusiasta dos passeios quotidianos na cidade. Na estrada rural, no entanto, é uma explosão, mesmo com apenas 48 cv. Simplesmente uma moto divertida como está escrito no livro.
