Prós e contras em comparação
KTM 1290 Super Duke R 2018

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.
Yamaha MT-09 2018

Uma moto coerente onde tudo se encaixa. A mota cumpre o que o seu aspeto promete. Alta tecnologia, carisma e muita adrenalina. É uma mistura de supermoto, naked bike e streetfighter e adora ser manuseada de forma irracional. Uma moto fixe. Só em comparação com a MT-09 SP é que se começa a sentir a falta de um chassis de alta qualidade.
