Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR 2020
The MV Agusta Brutale 800RR is certainly not a run-of-the-mill motorbike. It's great that something like this is still being built! If you are not put off by the high price, you will get a precise naked bike that in no way has to shy away from comparison with the competition from a dynamic point of view. The beguiling sound that this three-cylinder develops is the icing on the cake of this unique overall package. In expert hands on the country road, the MV Agusta is definitely hard to beat. Of course, the paradise bird also has one or two weaknesses, but these are easily forgiven in view of its uniqueness.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019
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.
