Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 390 Duke 2020

KTM 390 Duke 2020

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.

Typical Duke ergonomics that are also suitable for taller riders

Extremely agile handling thanks to flyweight and narrow waist

Sporty engine with great handling

Modern TFT display with smartphone connectivity

Supermoto mode is a pleasure

Quickshifter (optional) works perfectly

Adjustable hand levers

Top price-performance ratio for A2 motorbike.

Chassis tuned a little too soft

pressure point of the brakes a little spongy

Kawasaki Z 300 2015

Kawasaki Z 300 2015

The cool design of the Kawasaki Z300, which is extremely similar to that of its big sister Z800, makes it a very grown-up-looking motorbike. The stable braking system and the easy-to-read cockpit with an analogue rev counter and all the necessary features fit in very well with this image. Thanks to the 170 kg ready-to-ride weight, the bike is extremely easy to handle and playful. The engine only reveals its potential in the upper rev range, but revs up willingly and makes you want to ride in a sporty manner. Only the comfort-oriented chassis cannot quite cope with radically sporty demands - but this is quite legitimate and understandable for an entry-level motorbike.
