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.

The Ducati Hypermotard 939 is a real Hollywood star that has already starred in 21 films and TV series. Even on the set of the 2018 naked bike comparison, its looks stole the show from most bikes. As befits a Hollywood starlet, however, the Ducati can be a little bitchy from time to time. For example, it's hard to start off when cold, and its soft forks also make it a little nervous in fast corners. But when you conquer the bull, the feelings of happiness are indescribable and you are rewarded with a wonderful V2 Testastretta sound. Perhaps the biggest drawback: its outdated LCD display, which doesn't fit in at all with the Italian design composition.
