KTM 690 Duke 2017

KTM 690 Duke 2017

Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.

powerful engine

suitable for everyday use

many technical aids

manoeuvrable

smooth running

For some, not a "real" single-cylinder Duke

Honda NC750X 2015

Honda NC750X 2015

The NC750X actually has only one weakness: its strength. With 55 hp, the all-purpose motorbike is moderately powered, but Honda's product range is so broad and diverse that the NC group was deliberately positioned in this area. The NC750X makes up for a lot in torque, and those who like it sportier can upgrade to a Crossrunner or Crosstourer. The New Concept shines in its second generation with an even higher quality feel, better equipment, a taut fork and a total of 5 riding modes. The 3-stage sport mode makes it practically unnecessary to intervene in the shifting process yourself.

Tight fork

good brakes

ABS as standard

5 DCT modes

high quality

No C-ABS

moderate engine performance
