Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 790 Duke 2020
A sporty naked bike that not only has enough power, but also playful handling and high-quality equipment - the KTM 790 Duke ticks all the boxes. If the looks don't bother you, it's hard to find anything the 790 can't do well, because in its hunting ground - the country road - it forms a wonderfully rounded package that doesn't really leave anything to be desired. Initial teething troubles have also been solved, which is why the KTM 790 Duke is still a real recommendation!
Suzuki GSX-S750 2017
More power, more performance, more sound. Suzuki also proves all the pessimists regarding the EURO4 standard wrong and delivers the GSX-S 750, a successor to the GSR 750 that has been further developed in every respect and can be a bit more serious, but doesn't have to be. To ensure that aha moments don't become oje moments, ABS and a three-stage traction control that can be switched off provide a safety cushion. With S21 tyres from Bridgestone, the GSX-S is super-sporty, allowing you to take advantage of the generous lean angle clearance. Only the acute knee angle could be a disadvantage on longer tours.
