Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda CBR500R 2019
All in all, the new CBR500R is guaranteed to be a suitable entry into the world of the stooped. The look is to die for and appears sporty and aggressive, but the riding itself is child's play. The wind protection is great, the seating position still relatively relaxed. So there's nothing to stop you from being completely happy with this economical sports bike (a little over 4L/100km fuel consumption), both in the corner and on the way to work or university. It will be hard to find another motorbike that is as easy to ride and looks so sporty at the same time!
KTM 390 Duke 2018
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.
