Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 690 Duke 2018
Considerando o ponto de partida da família KTM Duke, a 690 Duke é um incrível passo em frente. O motor é extremamente refinado e, ao mesmo tempo, robusto para um monocilíndrico de rua. Apesar de toda a tecnologia a bordo, continua a ser uma moto muito leve e quase pode ser considerada um brinquedo (no bom sentido). Só a sua posição de assento divide as opiniões, porque com a Duke 4 em 2012, as antigas supermotos tornaram-se numa moto nua quase domesticada com uma posição de assento orientada para a roda dianteira. A vantagem: a vida quotidiana e as longas viagens não devem ser um problema na atual Duke.

A RC390 abriu-me os olhos e espero que haja muito mais para vir com as pequenas cilindradas. O baixo peso continua a ser o maior prazer ao conduzir uma mota, embora também não se possa prescindir de um pouco de potência. Mas a 390 conseguiu, de alguma forma, inspirar-me com os seus 44 cv e libertar-me do meu vício por ainda mais potência. Vou construir uma pequena pista de corridas com 2,5 km de comprimento e 14 curvas e depois haverá uma RC390 Cup de 1000 cv.
