Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 790 Duke 2023

The KTM scores with a terrific engine and a high-quality electronics package. The look divides the motorbike community. Not all motorcyclists like the front. In direct comparison with other bikes in the class, however, the price no longer seems as attractive as it used to!

Strong engine

Sporty engine that is superior to other bikes in this price range

Pleasant running culture from the engine

High-quality electronics

Good ergonomics for tall riders

Cheeky sound

Taut chassis for sporty riding.

Suspension not adjustable

Mediocre brakes

Relatively high price compared to other bikes in this class.

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
