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.
Yamaha XJ6 2009
Kljub skupni osnovi je XJ videti veliko mlajši in agresivnejši. Motor srednjega razreda, ki vam nikakor ne daje občutka srednjega razreda. Razen nihajne ročice je motorno kolo videti precej kakovostno in kul. Motocikel je nekoliko lažji za upravljanje kot Diversion.
