KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018
The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.
Yamaha XJ6 2009
Trots den gemensamma grunden ser XJ mycket yngre och mer aggressiv ut. En mellanklassmotorcykel som inte på något sätt får dig att känna dig i mellanklassen. Med undantag för svingarmen ser motorcykeln ganska högkvalitativ och cool ut. Motorcykeln är lite lättare att hantera än Diversion.
