KTM 990 Duke
One step away from being considered a liter bike. The KTM 990 Duke has been one of the most anticipated within the new generation of the Austrian brand. A naked that brings many new features, both aesthetic and performance, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Duke saga. It has a more aggressive and sharper design than ever, with very particular front optics. It’s most impressive and exciting feature is its engine: the twincylinder LC8c, completely updated with new pistons, crankshaft and connecting rod that generates 123 HP and 103 Nm of torque. A beast of an engine in a bike that weighs only 394 lbs (dry) that must be extremely fun and exhilarating to ride
Moto Guzzi Stelvio

Suzuki GSX-S1000GX
The best of both worlds. Surely the sport-tourer par excellence of 2024. The Suzuki GSX-S1000GX did not go unnoticed at the last EICMA, both for its design and its technical data. The engine is the well-known 999 cc inline four-cylinder four-stroke engine that delivers 152 HP and 106 Nm of torque at 9,250 rpm.

Yamaha MT-09
The successful Yamaha MT 09 could not be missed this list. The Japanese naked bike has been updated for 2024 with a new design, but also with technology. It keeps intact its three-cylinder engine CP3, which puts out 119 HP and a maximum torque of 93 Nm, but it does change its headlight with a full-LED set inside a redesigned cover. It stands out for its great maneuverability thanks to its chassis, geometry and final weight of 416 lbs. A light and fun bike that is capable for any twisty cornering route, but also for short trips even with a passenger.
