Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2018
Considering where the KTM Duke family once started, the 690 Duke is an incredible step forward. The engine is extremely refined and at the same time husky for a street-legal single-cylinder. Despite all the technology on board, it is still a very light motorbike and can almost be called a toy (in a good sense). Only its seating position divides opinions, because with the Duke 4 in 2012, the former supermotos became an almost tame naked bike with a front-wheel-oriented seating position. The advantage: everyday life and long tours should not be a problem on the current Duke.
Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 2019
Supermoto with strong naked bike genes. The Aprilia Dorsoduro 900 is the perfect choice for those who are looking for the feeling of a genuine supermoto, but do not want to do without the comfort and convenience of a naked bike. Its pleasantly smooth V2 and well-tuned chassis find a very fair compromise between emotional sports machine and everyday cruiser, which is why the Dorsoduro 900 can be recommended to a broad target group. Visual details such as the undersat exhaust or the red valve covers give it a lot of character even when stationary, even if the overall design seems a little outdated. The only downer is the operation of the display, which should have been much more intuitive.
