Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 390 Duke 2021

The KTM 390 Duke is a "real" Duke. The trademark: Extremely agile handling that makes for powerful riding fun. The flyweight 390 can be precisely controlled with its narrow waist and wide handlebars and feels most at home in tight corners. Especially with the Supermoto mode, it is a fun machine without equal. Unfortunately, only the brakes and suspension of the 390 cannot maintain the same, very high performance level as on the 125 Duke or 890 Duke. They feel a bit spongy and not optimally tuned, especially when the rider weighs in a bit more. The equipment is otherwise tip-top, especially when you consider the price of the 390 Duke. In terms of riding pleasure/euros, it outperforms most, including its Duke sisters.
Husqvarna 701 Supermoto 2016

The 701 Supermoto is the right vehicle for asphalt surfers who regard a motorbike as a toy without wanting to forego suitability for everyday use. The ABS also meets sporting demands, can be switched off or operated in Supermoto mode using a "dongle" from the accessories. The ride-by-wire offers three different riding modes to choose from, which can also only be changed while riding with an extra. This brings us to the downer in the Austro-Swedish melange: we would have liked to see some extras in the standard equipment. One of these is the set of stickers for the many white surfaces on the fairing.
