Ktm duke 690 or aprilia dorsodura 750?

Question

ive got money burning a hole in my pocket,around £5500.now i know im lucky you dont need to tell me! but..ive been looking for a motorbike for ages to commute to and from work, around 30 mile both ways.i was going to get the aprilia till i seen the ktm duke 690,i know the duke is only single cylinder but how does it handle on the motorway???? which should i go for?????

Answer 1

both are good bikes but only one will last for what you want...go for the aprillia....the ktm,while being a belting bike there just to flighty...and its not the case of ''if'' it brakes ,its ''when'' it brakes ..cos it will...

there quite a good bike to work on/split engines  and such..but you dont want to be doing that 6 months down the line,do you?...no?..then buy the aprillia,

Answer 2

it all depends on what kind of handling you prefer, besides different people will say different things about the two bikes, your best bet would prob be to go to a showroom to try and find out from a dealer.

Both are nice bikes, i would go for aprillia

Answer 3

The KTM looks like it would be a blast to ride. I have ridden the Super Duke but not the 690.

Answer 4

Have you looked at the Ducatis?

Very nice, 696 and 848 have a high power to weight ratio, which makes for more get up and go, as well as handling better.

Maybe the KTM Super Duke is a better choice?
