Prós e contras em comparação
Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS 2021

Precisa, potente e rápida! A Triumph é muito divertida nos desfiladeiros alpinos. No entanto, só se pode perdoar o chassis apertado se se for um piloto desportivo. Mas o motor é de louvar. Não importa se está a passear ou a aquecer - a potência está sempre disponível de forma bem doseada.
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2019

O epíteto "Besta" não é completamente despropositado, a KTM é e continua a ser uma moto naked brutal - 177 cv de dois motores com uma cilindrada combinada de 1301 metros cúbicos não é nada inofensivo. No entanto, é surpreendentemente fácil de controlar; a posição de assento vertical combinada com o bom manuseamento fazem-na parecer quase dócil. Em comparação com o seu antecessor, foi melhorado precisamente nos seus pontos mais fracos. O motor funciona agora de forma mais suave, o assistente de mudança de velocidades proporciona calma na fase de aceleração e o chassis foi melhorado em termos de qualidade. Mas continua a gostar mais da perseguição selvagem do que da alta velocidade em curvas longas.
