KTM continues to introduce new, interesting models utilizing the redesigned 399 cc single. The latest is the 390 Enduro R. Weighing a claimed 350 pounds wet (with an empty fuel tank), this is a street-legal enduro that should be quite capable off-road.

MD has always loved Bridgestone S22 tires. Designed for sporty riding on the street and the occasional track day, the S22 stood atop many motorcycle hypersport tire shootouts, even four years after its introduction.

When KTM developed its 799 cc parallel twin and introduced it to the US market in the form of the 790 Duke, MD was there to test it. Like virtually every other journalist, MD was very excited by the performance, handling and character of this new middleweight twin naked bike.

You may recall our review of Suzuki‘s new V–Strom 800. The same 776cc parallel-twin, with the same tune, is found in the subject of this review. We weren’t shy when we told you we fell in love with this new parallel-twin from Suzuki.

Continuing the theme of the recently announced Panigale V2 and Streetfighter V2, Ducati has today announced a dramatically lighter successor to the Multistrada V2 for the 2025 model year. Several other changes appear in the thoroughly redesigned bike, which will be available both as a standard Multistrada V2 and a Multistrada V2 S, the latter of which receives semi-active suspension.
