Overview - KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017 vs Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017 and the Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022 are both powerful naked bikes that offer thrilling riding experiences. However, there are several differences between the two models.

In terms of engine power, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017 boasts a higher output with 177 HP compared to the Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022's 153 HP. This means that the KTM provides a more intense adrenaline rush and faster acceleration.

When it comes to torque, the KTM again takes the lead with 144 Nm, while the Ducati offers 101.4 Nm. The higher torque of the KTM translates to better low-end power and stronger acceleration.

Both bikes feature a 2-cylinder engine and have similar front suspensions with upside-down telescopic forks. However, the KTM utilizes WP suspension components for both the front and rear, while the Ducati uses Showa for the front and Sachs for the rear. This may result in slightly different handling characteristics and ride comfort.

In terms of chassis, the KTM features a chromium-molybdenum frame, while the Ducati has an aluminum monocoque frame. The choice of frame material can impact the overall weight and stiffness of the bike, potentially affecting handling and maneuverability.

Both bikes have a similar front tire width of 120 mm and diameter of 17 inches. However, the KTM has a wider rear tire at 190 mm compared to the Ducati's 180 mm. This may result in differences in traction and stability.

In terms of strengths, the KTM offers extensive configuration options when purchasing, grandiose brakes, great original equipment tires, practical electronic features, and a great seating position for tall riders. The Ducati, on the other hand, boasts a high-revving V2 engine, a comprehensive electronics package, finely responsive chassis as standard, powerful brakes, precise handling, and a sporty and refined appearance.

However, the KTM has some weaknesses, including a shift assistant that can be a bit rough compared to other power nakeds, an exhausting riding experience, and a precise stroke that may be challenging to hit. Additionally, it is considered the most dangerous motorcycle for the driving license on the market. The Ducati's weaknesses include the lack of a fuel gauge, engine jerks at low revs, and heat build-up under the driver's seat.

In conclusion, the KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017 and the Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022 are both impressive naked bikes with their own strengths and weaknesses. The KTM offers more power and a wider range of configuration options, while the Ducati provides a refined and sporty riding experience with a comprehensive electronics package.

Pros and Cons in comparison

Pros and Cons in comparison

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2017

The KTM is and remains the most brutal naked bike on the market. The upright seating position combined with the wild V2 power make it seem more brutal than it is on paper. It has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs smoother, the shift assistant brings calm in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved. It still loves the wild chase more than high cornering speed on long bends.

Provides the most adrenaline rush

Extensive configuration options when buying

Grandiose brakes

Great original equipment tyres

Practical electronic features

Great seating position for tall people

Electronic features can be set very sporty and also deactivated.

Shift assistant nice, but in direct comparison with other power nakeds a bit rough

Exhausting to ride

Precise stroke not always easy to hit

The most dangerous motorbike for the driving licence on the market.

Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022

Ducati Streetfighter V2 2022

With the Streetfighter V2, Ducati has modified the Panigale V2 super sports bike and made it suitable for everyday use. Despite its visual similarity to the Streetfighter V4, it has a character of its own and also has airs and graces that make life with it a little difficult, but interesting on the other hand. The jerky engine running at low revs obviously doesn't bother Ducatisti, however, and instead they are pleased with 153 hp that hangs well on the throttle, finely responsive chassis components, high-quality brakes and complete electronic equipment - only the fuel gauge was forgotten. Similar to its riding qualities, however, the Streetfighter V2 is also priced upwards in the direction of hyper-naked bikes.
