890 Duke R
The 890 Duke R offers the best power-to-weight ratio in the middleweight naked class — 889cc LC8c parallel-twin with fully adjustable WP Apex suspension and Brembo brakes in a 397-lb chassis. Aggressive ergonomics and a firm suspension tune make it less comfortable for daily commuting than the MT-09 or Street Triple; this is a focused performance tool.
