KTM 890 Duke R 2020

The KTM 890 Duke R appears playful, handy but with high-quality equipment. The engine and weight are reminiscent of much smaller motorbikes. The power unit revs up lively and hangs directly on the throttle. The bike turns easily and rides light-footed. Braking and the electronics package, however, are in the big league. Therefore, the 890 Duke is a fast and cool bike for country roads and racetracks.
Triumph Street Triple 765 RS 2017

The top model among the Street Triples fully deserves the designation. Sportier in all respects than the R version, the RS presents itself on the country road as a fun machine that has few opponents to fear. Trackdays on the racetrack are also an issue, especially since the engine is very sharp, the Brembo brakes are super-sporty and the suspension with the Öhlins damper is wonderfully precise. The handling is a stunner anyway, the Street Triple is still the lightest in its class. The standard quickshifter further consolidates the position of the top model.
