KTM 390 Duke 2022

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.
Yamaha YZF-R3 2019

With the new YZF-R3, Yamaha has taken the very good basis of the first generation and successfully developed it further. It now appears not only visually more mature, but also noticeably more competent at high speeds. When you ride the R3 at the limit, you quickly feel why Yamaha has set up its own Cup on it, as even the standard model gives a safe feeling at high speed. Nevertheless, there is room for improvement, especially in everyday use, when the rough response at low revs and the poor feedback from the brake lever lead to some moments of frustration during the ride.
