Pros and Cons in comparison
Pros and Cons in comparison
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019
The epithet "Beast" is not completely out of the blue, the KTM is and remains a brutal naked bike - 177 hp from two pots with a combined displacement of 1301 cubic metres is nothing harmless. Nevertheless, it is surprisingly easy to control; the upright seating position combined with the good handling make it seem almost docile. Compared to its predecessor, it has been improved precisely at its weakest points. The engine now runs more smoothly, the shift assistant brings calmness in the acceleration phase and the chassis has been improved in quality. But it still loves the wild chase more than high speed in long curves.
Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2019

But with its Öhlins chassis, the many superbike components and this incredible performance, the Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory is currently the best naked bike on the racetrack and therefore also arrow-quick on the country road.
