Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2014
More than a decade after its launch, the KTM 690 Duke remains a fascinating bike with its own character. The attempt to turn the rebellious Duke into a bike with more mass appeal has proven to be a successful strategy. The combination of an outstanding LC4 engine, direct handling and good value for money continues to make it an attractive option for riders looking for something special. Although newer twin-cylinder models are superior in terms of smooth running and comfort, the 690 Duke offers an immediacy and character that only a large single-cylinder can deliver. As a used motorbike, it has proven to be surprisingly stable in value and durable - provided you pay attention to regular maintenance.
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2024
**Conclusion** The Triumph Street Triple RS impresses as a sporty naked bike with precise and stable riding performance, excellent brakes and a powerful three-cylinder engine. The comprehensive electronic equipment and high build quality round off the positive overall picture. Despite the tight setup and the necessary warm-up time for the tyres, the Street Triple RS offers an outstanding riding experience for riders with sporting ambitions. Minor weaknesses such as the cumbersome operation of the joystick and the moderate spray protection are more than compensated for by the bike's versatility and customisation options. Overall, the Street Triple RS is an excellent choice for those who value sporty precision and riding pleasure.
