Here you really have the feeling of sitting on a real racing machine and drawing a precise line through the landscape. And so, at the end of the tour, euphoria and adrenaline outweigh the beer, despite the KTM's tics. That's the way it is with supersport bikes in the mountains.

Reasonable overall concept

diverse options for coveted customisation - e.g. footrests

seat comfort

high-quality workmanship

sporty chassis.

Engine has too little flywheel mass

only advisable for more experienced motorcyclists.
