Technical Specifications KTM 690 Duke 2019 compared to Yamaha MT-07 2017
Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 690 Duke 2019
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.
Yamaha MT-07 2017
Even after three years, the Yamaha MT-07 is still a public favourite. No one else beats such a price-performance ratio. The two-cylinder engine is powerful, but can be dosed very gently at low revs. The display is also one of the best in this class, with good readability. Only the chassis is disappointing. In a sporty riding style, it is simply too soft, which can cause the MT-07 to sway.
