Pros and Cons in comparison

Honda CBR650R E-Clutch 2024

The Honda CBR650R is a great mid-range supersports bike for the country road, which manages the balancing act between sportiness and accessibility very well. But other bikes in this class also manage this. What makes the CBR special is the old-school in-line four-cylinder engine at its heart. You won't win any acceleration races with it, but the in-line four inspires with its silky power delivery and screaming revviness in the upper rev range. And with the new E-Clutch technology, you can get the most out of the engine with crisp gear changes and massively increase comfort in city traffic thanks to the electronic operation of the clutch.

Screeching, "old-school" in-line four-cylinder that tempts you to wind out a gear

stable, but not overly hard fork

well-tuned brakes

sporty, but not too extreme ergonomics

great e-clutch system

Beautiful TFT display with intuitive operating concept

Shock could be more stable when leaning

Knee angle can be quite sharp with lengthy legs

KTM 1390 Super Duke R 2024

The Hammer engine is certainly one of the most fundamental elements of the new 1390 Super Duke R. There is no other manufacturer that can achieve this level of performance with a V2 engine while at the same time running smoothly and complying with all emissions standards. The engine alone guarantees pure riding pleasure and enables power wheelies up to third gear with good modulation. This means that the Beast has actually been sharpened up again and offers enormous fun on the race track as well as on the road, even if you have to be extremely restrained there to avoid having to give up your licence forever.

Powerful V2 with unrivalled smoothness and responsiveness

Wide range of applications from country roads to race tracks

Good ergonomics

Outstanding stability in fast corners and under braking

Precise handling on the race track

Excellent Assistance Systems and Quickshifter

Impressive engine performance that is also suitable for everyday use

Automatic gearshift somewhat rough under partial load TC control too much even at the lowest level

Suspension of the "R" has weaknesses for racetrack use - front dips a little too much

The housings of the switch units on the handlebars give way slightly and move

Many accessories at extra cost, e.g. automatic gearshift

Wide tank restricts active riding positions somewhat
